Big A asked posted his possible sample and Nick followed up with his possible sample so in the spirit of things I thought I'd join in the fun and post my possible sample. I'm sure Czar is laughing at all 3 of us now as he kicks back and makes his sample mix 9. Anyhow let's all take a look at Timbaland's Shock Value.
The track is question is Tim's "Throw It On Me" featuring The Hives. Now though the sample can be heard off the album version of the track, I didn't recognize it until the Timstrumental came out. As you all know I am a man of sounds so with that said really listen to the "Throw It On Me" instrumental and register all the sounds in the track, got them?
Straight away I knew the sample, it's from Star Wars, technically Star Wars IV the first one released. I knew the exact scene and could hear the sound being played in my mind, I just didn't know how I was going to record it to show you guys. Well that's where the power of youtube comes in. Take a look at the very first scene from this video with Obi-Wan Kenobi:
Hear it? I feel pretty confident that Tim used this sound but there's a chance I could be wrong. I know this can't be the first time Tim sampled the Star Wars movies, in fact there have even been rumors of a certain Jay-Z hit being sampled from one of the movies. Guess we'll have to wait and find out.

Well done. This is actually the most plausible one yet!
ReplyDeletewow...superb find...tim is absolutely incredible and his sense for sounds is amazing...now that's a real man of sounds...nobody can top him when it comes to over the top sampled sounds...keep up the good work...these sampled tim sounds are the greatest posts on the site...can't wait to see what you'll post next...
ReplyDeleteBig props on that. Sickest find.
ReplyDeleteWooooo! i love tim and i love star wars
ReplyDeleteGR8 post!
i think timbo should sample the imperial march aka darth vaders theme lol but wait didnt he do that for "is that yo bitch".....
Sounds like he sampled it to me. Cool find! :D
ReplyDeleteGeez. You have bionic ears...and i thought i was good! I was never a Star Wars fan anyway though. Nice effin find!
ReplyDeleteNow thats a good one! Id say thats definitely it. Hope Lucasfilm are Tim fans or it could be more sample drama goin down...
ReplyDeletehow did he get the sound to come out so clean without the background noises???
ReplyDeletethe first time that sound plays it only has some ticking sound over it, which could be/may be obscured by the drums in Tims track.
ReplyDeletethe second time it has some faint strings which may not be so apparent when mixed with the other instruments in timmy's track.
i would guess its the first one though
Any electric guitar with distortion could easily make that sound, if it's the same one in the song you are talking about. It sounds like a guitar in the song and a synth in the film.
ReplyDeleteHEY!!! isn't the #9 carbonite freezer the sound effect Danja uses in We Takin Over...that "eeeyaa"?
ReplyDeleteBen Burtt is the real genius, yall should google dude and see what he went through to CREATE those INCREDIBLE SOUNDS!!
great post
daniel: All it takes is a bit of mixing. You can alter the balance of sounds in order to amplify the one you want.
ReplyDeleteLOL! now you're reaching boogie
ReplyDeletehmmm, toughie. it could very well be an electric guitar, but it sounds pretty similar. good find!
