Clipse album produced by Pharrell LET GOD SORT EM OUT Discussion thread JULY 11TH

Having a Kendrick feature is better than not having it but the downside is that the circus comes to town. Reactions to the verse - which according to Rob Markman is NOT a diss - will inflate whatever macho shyt he says into a Drake reference. Do I think Pusha knew the GQ article would have this type of impact? Sure. It's good press for an album that will need it sales wise. But the downside is that more people are talking about a feature than your album. And given that Hov is gonna be on it too and we know he likes addressing shyt once a year (Super Bowl, lawsuit, Drake fukkery, Meg/Roc conspiracies, etc)...I wouldn't be stunned if that becomes another thing that stirs discussion.

Hmm... my understanding is actually the opposite and Jigga man is NOT on the album

Hope the NaStradamus verse is dope though...

Everyone I know, even those that don't listen to music like that, hit me like "you heard the news? kendrick coming"

This nikka is a phenomenon, its like at the bay when he performed last week, he had the entire city dancing to his songs outside of the stadium

Even my dad is hyped for the song...he only listens to funk and jazz

Drake, the biggest loser of the 2020s, lost again.

I do.

But Chad plays like EVERY instrument. LOL!! I've seen P play keys and make joints on the spot.

But on their classic beats, Chad was the one knocking out those chords and basslines. Dude was playing live guitar and horns on the first Clipse project and Kelis' debut and second joint. Dude did rock albums solo with Kenna. Playing every instrument, like how Dave Grohl did on the first Foo Fighters album. It's not about minimizing P's talent. It is about giving respect and due to the dude people always overlook. Hugo is a beast.

Nah bro Hugo is def a beast. But I just don’t like how nikkas try to act like Pharrell ain’t shyt but a salesman and Chad was the REAL talent behind Neptunes. That’s wack. Other legendary producers would even disagree with that. Pharrell had vision and he was an artist. It’s just unfortunate that Chad wasn’t. Also. Pharrell has a level of SOUL that Chad doesn’t. He’s also heavily influenced my MJ which is why u hear that in damn near all his RnB productions. shyt to me. Neptunes RnB >>>> hip hop production. Same wit Timbo. Peep this. Tell me this isn’t classic Neptunes sounding shyt. And he’s doing it by himself. Side note. He should’ve kept this for himself.

Pusha basically already said he’s on it.

To be fair I'm not aware of anyone who can play every instrument and NOT be considered an artist. The question is moreso about who was the better pop songwriter, and I think it's fair to say that was Pharrell. We also don't know if there are other factors at play like blackballing. A dude/chick not getting a lot of work as a producer/writer/player in music doesn't mean he or she isn't talented enough or isn't making the right music. It could be as simple as "if you work with that guy you can't work with Pharrell."

nikka went from shytting on CHAD HUGO to starting up conspiracies on a Kendrick verse
Don’t ever change coli

I was actually in the room for the "Midnight Hour" session you just posted, lol. That whole album with her that never dropped, I saw Neptunes work on mad songs for her like "Invisible" and "Friends Are'. That was '05.

That's what I was referring to. P can do a little something on the keys. That's not something I think anybody would deny. But the way Chad has been slept on and overlooked, is foul. That dude is way too talented to be seen as some kinda sidekick. That was an equal contribution duo.
