doesnt sound blatant to me, and the melodies can be reproduced with no problem me thinks

Dude that sh!t is pretty obvious. Not only the melody, but the chord progression and timing of the notes are exactly the same.

sampling a song and what timbaland did are two different things

is it cheating?

well it aint the coolest sh!t in the world, but i consider sampling a much harsher musical crime

from the sounds of it, these songs could be considered "covers" of the originals at least. what are the legal ramifications if it turns out to be worse?

acidplanet regulary posts remix contests. it could be that the original was posted sometime ago and he just used the project samples. oh well..
