Yeah that's fair, I read an article about the litigation some years back and it did seem like one extreme had to be true, either Pharrell been carrying Chad the whole time or Pharrell a snake who trying to act like he did it all on his own. From what the article laid out at least the main issue of the case seemed to be ownership of the name and logo and not production credits but admittedly I'm not too tapped in with Neptunes process in the studio sans what we saw on the DVD from the 2nd pressing of Lord Willin.
While this may be an unpopular opinion Lord Willin is still my favorite Clipse album by a big margin but, its also a placeholder for a time in my life that I hold dear, rolling around in the homies jeep, more passengers than the law permits, listening to Cott Damn and everybody picking a verse to mimic, out of everyone in our little crew that had Lord Willin as the soundtrack to that year theres only 2 of us left, so I'm bias with that album holding so many good memories associated with it.
fukk sales but for anyone who experienced it in real time yawl have to admit Grindin and Cott Damn made massive impacts on the culture, even just think how many mixtapes have rappers freestyling on those 2 beats during that time.
I'll say this tho, if Soopafly could see in his heart to get back being a dynamic production duo after Daz ragdolled him at the swap meet and knocked out all his front teeth and bought his publishing off him at his lowest moment for a piddly handful of thousands then P and Chad could squash this feud and maybe we get one more Re Up Gang classic.
it ain't too far fetched
