I wonder why this random interview from so long ago is popping up again too. Especially if it was in a magazine from Minneapolis that only had 8 issues.

I dunno.....coli nikkas breathin life into it on this forum....I don't think it really lives anywhere else :yeshrug:

Pharell really didn't rock wit him again til like 2013.....he was on the regaeton shyt for a while during that period and doin shyt wit cnn.

But my memory could be wrong.

He knew him though...

That's never been stated. Yeah, he's done a few songs produced by The Neptunes. That doesn't mean he knew Pharrell. People can have work relationships and not really know each other beyond work.

At the time the song he mentioned Pharrell was made, the $2 million beat rumor had made its rounds. Nas addressed it and said The Neptunes should pay him to rhyme over their beats (I could see thos being a diss). He also had revealed to Rollingstone that he wanted beats from Pharrell among others for Hip Hop Is Dead.

He had to have been mad because of something with Kelis... maybe her album with no neptunes beats...

Its funny how NORE acts like his LifeSucksDie interview doesnt exist :mjlol:

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]

LSD- 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. LSD- So you’re pretty clear about that. N- I’m clear about that. Y’all ain’t homo are you? [laughter]

LSD- No, no. We’re familiar with your music. I don’t think we’d be here.

N- That’s good. I don’t want to offend anybody. [laughs]
Didn't know Pharell was gay.

Kelis claims that neither of The Neptunes liked her. I think she went as far to say they hated her. This was around the time of her third album and her and Nas were engaged. She said Pharrell and Chad would make jokes about her. It led to her leaving their label. Nas may have felt some type of way about it, but the Pharrell line still doesn't seem like a diss.
