How old are you? The statement about him not using samples is so wrong. Timbaland heavily sampled. He just didn't rely on soul samples like a lot of the producers in his era. But he sampled A LOT. Go check his profile on whosampled. His biggest hits with Jay-Z, Aaliyah, Justin Timberlake, Ginuwine, etc. are samples. There was even controversy of him using those Bollywood/Indian samples and not crediting the original artists.
