The Game's "Big Dreams" and Madonna's "4 Minutes" Sound Similar

Anyone else think The Game's "Big Dreams" and Madonna's "4 Minutes" sound very similar.

I think I know why, it's the same Motif horn presets they are using, and the two songs are in the same key, have similar tempos, and the chord progressions are kind of the same.

I wonder if Timbaland jacked "Big Dreams" off Cool and Dre or was it the other way around.
