Described as a 'limited edition' timbaland MPC Live 2 but seems to be a standard MPC Live 2 with some Timbaland samples pre-installed.

Maybe I should start a beat challenge with a $100,- fee to submit your beat. And the winner can get my MPC X with custom booting image + booting video as well. lol..

Timbaland

On February 2, 2007, Timbaland responded to the plagiarism accusations in an interview on the radio show Elliot in the Morning. In this interview, Timbaland admitted to what he called "sampling", but he also claimed that sampling is "not stealing", because "everybody samples from everybody every day". Timbaland also said that the sample is "from a video game" and mentioned the Commodore 64. He also said that he has no time for research and that it is sometimes impossible to "know what's public domain and what's not". Timbaland also called the issue "ridiculous" but mentioned that he is "in legal discussions" and therefore was not able to say much about it. He also called Janne Suni an "idiot" and a "freakin' jerk" on the show.

It's stealing TIMMY.
