For the latest Who Flipped It Better I bring you a triple threat. As always, we'll go in chronological order this time starting with Timbaland. If you remember the Baka Boys Interview they did with Tim from years passed, they specifically asked Tim about how he made the drums for the track "Cop That Shit." Tim replied that he made them using garbage cans implying that they were made specifically by Tim and making us all wonder what kind of instruments he has in his studio. Let's refresh our memories and watch the video for "Cop That Shit":
Well ironically or maybe not so much, 2 years later these same self described "garbage-can-created drums" by Timbaland show up on Bobby Valentino's first single "Slow Down." Despite the endless mis-tags of being produced by Tim, Valentino's debut single was actually produced by the duo of Tim & Bob who have since worked with Valentino on both of his albums.
Let's take a Bobby Valentino “Slow Down” .
So did Tim & Bob end up using Timbo's garbage cans? or maybe they used the same ones? Looks like we have a case of the same, dare I say, sample being used by 2 producers.
Ok I'll admit that's an easy one, we all knew that one right? Well to give it that little something extra, these garbage cans have actually been passed around yet again. Recently my man Digital Black formerly of Playa dropped his 2nd solo album called The Autobiography of Benjamin Bush which is definitely worth checking out. When I listened to the album, there was one track in particular that caught my ear. That would be the track "I Want U" which low and behold has the exact same garbage can drums that Timbo and Tim & Bob used. I also suggest you take a careful listen to the track "Anything" (do I hear "Do It/Block Party"?)
So there you have it 1 sample, 3 producers and as I always ask: who flipped it better? Bonus points to the one that can identify these garbage cans.

i think the "cop that shit" drums are original, and THEY've been the sample...listen to ryan leslie's remix of "me & u"
ReplyDeleteTim & Bob. That beat is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteit aint the same as what happened to that boi, u must have some remix version or somthing cuz dey dont even sound alike
ReplyDeleteits the same sample pattern but dif drums so tim could have replayed it on trash cans
ReplyDelete"Bonus points to the one that can identify these garbage cans"
ReplyDeleteHaha.. seriously man, if you would know a little bit about music instruments you would know that this is a tabla and in now way a trash can or something like this. even guys like timbaland want to make themselves look cool sometimes by tellin some lies.. i mean, what would've been cooler , if he said he made the beat with thrash cans or if he told the world that the loop is from a sample cd that everyone can buy online ?
and where can i listen to the track anything
ReplyDelete"you would know that this is a tabla and in now way a trash can or something like this. "
ReplyDeletehaha....seriously man, if you knew a little bit about writing you would know it was a play on words.
I'm aware of the sample...
Tim/Bob did a great job with this track
ReplyDeleteeveryone with an iq over 30 understands that j boogie said that in a sarcastic way. of course he knows the sample. stop being such a moron and appriciate that boogie is entertaining us by writing like this.
ReplyDeleteLMAO @ people hating on a sample theory!!
ReplyDeletei fink timbo flipped it better, tho his beat was da most simplist out of all of dem it was da most hard hittin and bangin
ReplyDeletecan somebody please up the original drum loop from that sample cd and end all this bickering?
ReplyDeleteTim & Bob > Everyone else
ReplyDelete...and yes. Sebastian is a horrible rapper.
DOES ANYBODY HAVE THE ACTUAL SAMPLE??? IF SO POST IT PLEAAASE!!!!
