TIMBALAND ACCUSED OF BEAT BITING: YouTube clip claims producer lifted track from a Finnish producer.
*Super-producer Timbaland has been accused of jacking a beat from a Finnish man without permission for Nelly Furtado's track "Do It," which appears on her latest album “Loose.”
A YouTube user named TimbalandRips posted a video claiming that the Virginia musician stole a melody from a track called “Acidjazzed Evening,” which was created six years ago by Finnish producer Janne Suni.
In the video, a snippet of Suni's song is played first, followed by parts of Timbaland's track for Furtado. He then leaves it up to listeners to judge the similarities.
Meanwhile, a second YouTube video accuses Timbaland of using the same Suni track for a ringtone he produced last year titled "Block Party."
A posting on what appears to be Suni's official site listed at the end of the YouTube clip reads: "I have been using the services of a law firm since September 2006. I expect to have more information to publish by Tuesday."
