Throughout their discography, they constantly made allusions to "beat biters", which I assume were producers who copied or imitated their sound or production.

But who were they? I have a few in mind.

Too many to name tbh

Timbaland, Dre, Scott Storch, Ye, Just Blaze, and Pharrell were the most copied producers of the 2000s

You could've just asked someone how to embed bro you didn't have to delete the thread. And I never got who exactly they were referencing probably just in general

@op anybody during that time that was biting their style, but my biggest guess would be Darkchild during late 90s

Whoever made this gotta be at the top of the list

Yh I should have asked.

Janet was and is so damn fine

Me and Timbaland, we make you wanna bite our style. Fa-la-la-la-la

Was gonna say Darkchild as well even though he's had an amazing career

This always sounded like a Timbaland beat that he would make for Aaliyah and it's not

There was a lot in the late 90’s especially in the pop lane

Then when they started using Indian/Arabian samples, all of a sudden the early 2000’s sounded like this

Trackmasters were the biggest neptunes and timbaland biters back in the day

still good producers though

R. Kelly too he did that Blaque 808 beat and B2K Bump Bump Bump

Shiiit tell me something.. I thought some of these songs Timbo actually produced 😂

Tim & Bob made classics (Thong song, So Into You ect.) but they was biting timbaland during this era

Same I thought he made Addictive for years but that was DJ Quik

every beat in here is great too

Highkey a Timbaland Type Beat

Pollow Da Don ain’t safe either

Tim & Bob jacked the same percussion loop from this for Slow Down

There were alot of imitators of that futuristic sound but,If they were talking about anyone in particular,it was possibly The Neptunes

Scott Storch
