How different would the Grammys have been last night if Nore never made "Superthug?"

Superthug was pharells big break, if superthug never came out, pharell prolly would have never came out.

edit: This is what the op thinks.
That's ridiculous. Pharrell's library is crazy. If NORE didn't hop on one of his beats, someone else eventually would have. He was way too talented to go unnoticed for long.

:skip: they would've probably blown up the r&b route instead.


They were getting placements with TLC & Swv before all those major hip hop acts noticed.

N.O.R.E. explained these seemingly non-sensical lines in a rather shocking 2005 interview, saying that he chose that type of dog for the Neptunes because of what he heard about their sexual orientation:

LSD- Not to change the subject entirely, but can you explain “Light a candle, run laps around the English Channel, Neptunes’ got a cocker spaniel”?
N- Well, when you light a candle, that’s saluting your dead peoples. Light a Candle. And then, what’s the English Channel? It’s a big pool of water and it’s overseas.So I’m trying to say that when I light a candle I’m that strong that I can run laps around the English Channel. And Neptunes [producers featured prominently on Noreaga’s two solo albums] have a cocker spaniel. ‘Cause they homo.
[Pause]
LSD- Oh. All right.

N- Neptunes is homo. You won’t hear another Neptunes track again on Noreaga again in your life. I didn’t know that they hand was broken. [makes limp-wristed gesture]
LSD- Is this a recent discovery?
N- It’s a recent discovery after the “Oh No” video. After money had the tight choker on in that video. And we started asking questions, and people from Virginia started telling us that he’s a straight Flagrino. And he takes it up the ass. I cut him off.
LSD- Even though the beats–
N- fukk the beats! [laughter] I can’t fukk with nobody that Mohammed used to throw off the hill. You know, Mohammed used to take all the homo nikkas in the village, and he’d take ‘em to the top of the hill and he tricked them. He’d tell ‘em ‘Yo, jump down there’, and when they’d jump down there, they killed they self. We don’t fukk with homo. I like lesbians, though. I’ma stand up–I like lesbians and dykes. If you’re lesbian and dyke you’re okay to me, but if you’re a homo, I don’t even like you

:dahell: Can any of the ahkis confirm this? Never heard this hadith before.
