    I’ve discussed the nuance since that post I just had to joke some . It’s an on going case . I don’t think Chad lying out of nowhere . Time will tell

    Oh ok .. real

    Damn man. Both P and Timbaland legacies got tainted. 2000s hip hop on life support

    P Tim and Swizz have always been the holy trinity of mid since Hov albums

    Like yeah they had good records but it was never on the level of Just Blaze, Premier, Kanye, etc. It was always some bloop bloop boom boom bullshit tbh

    P and Tim obviously above Swizz who’s an actual bum but they not as far above as they got hyped to. They’re very much keyboard producers of that time and it worked but they also have a lot of limitations and weren’t able to adapt to the modern era at all, after initially seeming modern in the late 90s early 00s. And both needed musicians to make their weird little synth experiments actually sound good

    Oh ok .. real

    sometimes I got to make creative post just to know I still got it

  • Valentine

    it’s more than likely just Pharrell and she named both of them back then cause it was harder to tell compared to now we can see Pharrell doing the same thing to his right hand man

    100%

    @BuryYaTaco @sab explain as well

    looks like Chad keeping up the facade that Pharrell was more than just a pretty face during the early days of the band

    This is from the Sound & Recording Magazine in 2003, Chad did this interview:

    D.O.I. - What roles do you and Pharrell play when making music?

    Chad - We really don't have a specific role, but Pharrell usually makes the drum
    patterns since he was a drummer. He also makes most of the melodies for
    our beats. I sometimes make the melodies as well but I never write the
    lyrics. As the Neptunes, I'm sort of like a one man band. For instance,
    if Pharrell comes up with the drums, I either replay the pattern with different
    sources, or at some live drums to his pattern. Then I add some sounds to the
    drums and arrange it for it to be mixed.

    D.O.I. - Is that how you guys started out as well?

    Chad - Basically yes. That's how we make our beats 80% of the time. But sometimes
    it varies according to the song. Sometimes we change roles and I write the chords and program the drums.

    D.O.I. - So you're not the only one who programs the songs?

    Chad - Pharrell is pretty good on sequencing as well. Sometimes he creates the
    basic sequence, then I add more sounds to it, or sample something to add to the
    sequence.

    Weird, it’s almost as if they were…working together

    seems like when they together, Pharrell becomes an executive producer instead of actually working within the DAW/consoles

    I don’t think Chad really had to do with that situation, I think this is all Pharrell.

    I recall her saying she brought it up to both of their management and attorneys. Said something across the lines of Pharrell was a snake and Chad was a coward.

    Since this also happened under "The Neptunes" it makes me think they were both complicit. But hey I could be wrong...

    this is bit more believable, just my brain can't process Chad being that cold to Kelis ever lmfaoooo

  • poster

    there might be some truth to this because pharrell solo prod has been straight ass for a long time now

    Man what are some of yall talking about??

    Clipse album just got all this acclaim, accolades and praise partly because of the production….

    The rap industry was going crazy over Pharrell production on the album.

    Stop it

  • zenirama

    Can we stopgoing with “IDFarrell”, the superior “Pharrisrael” is right there

  • Scummy business
    Site doing the discredit solo Pharrell production thing without highlighting any Chad beats post Neptunes tho

    There hasn't been genuine Neptunes production in years. If I had to guess, the last time Chad and Pharrell probably made a beat together had to be around Till The Casket Drops era Clipse.
