You know I’m probably Fam-Lay‘s biggest supporter. Ever. This is my favorite joint he’s put out recently, but Fam…where’s the album at!?

“I will put you up in something that you can’t get out of / got n****s makin’ money, shootin’ guns and sniffin’ powder.”

Goodness. So raw.

Man, I don’t even know. This N*E*R*D album is confusing me a little.  I will say that the live version I blogged a few days ago goes like 40 times harder. Hopefully this joint will grow on me. Daft Punk crafted this instrumental, though. So I give these guys an “A” for incorporating arguably the most gifted electronic artists into their album’s patchwork. It’s hard for me to say anything bad about them, but you can already tell how I feel about this. I’ve listened 5 times and it’s growing on me, but man oh man, what happened to the feeling you felt after playing jams like “Am I High?” or “The Way She Dances” for the first time?

UPDATE at 2:59am on Thursday, October 7th: I can’t get this hook out of my head. And the bridge / light breakdown when he just starts talking about bills (“20′s. 50′s. 5′s. 10′s.”) is sickly. They won, per usual. I apologize for doubting your greatness, almighty Based Gods! I hope you have at least one Spymob-assisted joint on the LP, though!

Come on, P! You’ve had your fans bending over backwards waiting for this fourth N*E*R*D full-length album to drop! First we heard that Nothing was coming July, but instead, nothing came. What a clever ass trick, guys. Then you said September. Again, the wrong nothing. Last I heard from my guys over at TheNeptunes.org was that the album is hitting stores on October 19, but Star Trak’s word on album release dates is shakier than Michael J. Fox after he found out that he had Parkinson’s disease. And that’s not a jab, because Back To The Future 2 is my favorite movie. Merely a simile/comparison to make you think I was going HAM slamwich.

Anyway, my secret sources have scooped up some show footage of my favorite band playing some recent gigs. Here’s them debuting a new track “I Seen The Light” at York University. I heard this joint when I somehow finagled my way into their listening session in New York this summer. I swear, this is the ONLY song I remember from the joint, and was by far my favorite. They said they scrapped 19 songs from the album and started working on all new ones, so I’m glad they kept this in the equation, because it’s that old sound that I’ve been longing for.

Finally, right? They’re cranking some stuff that sounds more like the old days. If you can’t get enough, then Real Talk NY has some more footage of N*E*R*D performing at the Honda Honda CR-Z event yesterday in NYC. Peep it here.

Oh $#!T. I’m broke, but my birthday is tomorrow, so if anybody wants to buy me this, I can’t say I won’t cry tears of joy.

Pharrell plays model to an upcoming BP3 t-shirt, which should be the first of three designs paying tribute to the #1 album in America. A release can be expected next week although few other details are known at this time. Stay tuned for a more comprehensive look in the coming days.

it’s hump day, and i’m in the mood to spread great music to the masses. the first joint is from ’03, off the TAXI soundtrack. this is where skateboard p first used that “it wasn’t us” beat that you may know from The Neptunes Present…Clones compilation album. it’s too trill, and he spits high caliber bars like he does on that dj drama gangsta grillz joint he put out before his album back in ’05/’06. second verse is a french rapper who i’ve never heard of before, but if i knew what he was saying, i’m sure i’d applaud his efforts. jam it.

second is a joint that was on one of the blast off mixtapes i put out last year, but it’s too classic so i’m throwing it up for the lazy in an attempt to win them over. heard it in the whip today and figured you all needed it in your lives. features french group cassius, who i’ve previously featured on this site. use the search bar to get more of their stuff. they’re up there with daft punk and justice if you ask me.

OH MY GOD. pharrell is back at it.

whose gonna lace the beat!? GOD KNOWS! clipse, i hope. apparently, it’s from the soundtrack for the animated movie descpicable me, starring the office‘s steve carell (or michael, aka mr. “that’s what she said.”). my brother from another, barron from pocket full of paper, put me on. this made my day. shucks, i’m bout to write my own verse real quick.

check out the HD trailer to the movie below.

don’t get me started on ex-girlfriends. otherwise, you’d think i was crazy. ha. another R&B joint produced by skateboard p, and i think it goes harder than the usher joint that dropped yesterday (check it out here). let me know how you feel about it.

u-s, h-e-r, r-a, y-m, o-n-d & skateboard p (along w/ chad hugo on the boards, officially making the production a beat by the neptunes) link up to make some more jams. the song is meh to me, but skateboard p is like a shoe-in on this blog. if he’s doing it, i’m putting it up. beleeee dat.

a more powerful usher / neptunes collabo is the leaked track that never made it on anybody’s album, called “flash”. it does more for me than this joint above, but you be your own judge.

the clipse is finally leaking some joints from the album, and OH MY GOD. THIS IS THE JAM OF THE WEEK IN MY BOOK. NOTHING ELSE TO SAY BESIDES THIS.

i just ran through my entire house and put this on the big speakers. this album is about to be a classic. and yes, anything made by the neptunes in my book is gold or platinum. this included. shout out to complex magazine for leaking this gem today.
