    What game did she take that from?

    Ok, I can't be the only one who thinks that Madonna's '4 Minutes' with Just Timberlake has sampled a game soundtrack...

    Have a listen to it: YouTube - Madonna ft. Justin Timberlake - 4 Minutes

    It's the main riff that runs through pretty much the whole song... I'm certain that's from a video game... for some reason I keep thinking of Contra but it's not. It's from some 8bit coin-op like Commando or something similar...

    I could only handle the first 20 seconds. Couldn't even tell whether it was Madonna or Justin Timberlake "singing" (or "talking").

    No it sounds like one of those cheesy 80's game shows....

    I can't think what it was called tho.

    I think they ripped a trumpet sample from an original lemmings .mod file.

    Re: What game did she take that from?

    I'm pretty sure it's composed since Nate Hills co-produced this track (most tracks where him and Tim produce the track, it's composed since he's got very good skills with the keys) BUT they have sampled 8-Bit before, on 3 occasions.

    Two from a Audio Sample CD (Ueberschall - 8 Bit Stylez);
    Kelis - Running Mate (Timbaland-produced only)
    50 Cent - Ayo Technology

    And one track with the disputed Finnish sample,
    Nelly Furtado - Do It

    I personally believe that this wasn't sampled but Tim often surprises me with his creativity and such so I would definitely welcome some different sources and opinions. I'm a heavy Timbaland expert though, as I helped write a whole article on the source of the sample from 50 Cent - Ayo Technology!

    Maybe it's deliberately composed to be reminiscent of those 8bit arcade games then...

    To remind us of the times we were stuffing the coin slots in battered old machines... guess that's how Guy Ritchie feels now...
