Well it's a little better than the last two songs.

[snip-sos ]

Hip-hop superstars Kanye West and Pharrell Williams have teamed up to record a track together.

The star duo - who are widely regarded as two of the most innovative rappers on the planet - have teamed up on a song called 'Number 1', which is set to appear on Pharrell's forthcoming solo album.

The pair filmed a video for the track in Miami at the weekend and the tune was produced by Pharrell under his Skateboard P' alter ego with Kanye providing guest raps.

Pharrell's solo record, titled 'In My Mind', is slated for release in July and also features collaborations with Gwen Stefani, Daddy Yankee and Nelly.

I like it.

Yeah I've been running it.

This guy should not be ALLOWED anywhere near a mic. This song sucks ass.....

Say what you will about his singing but the song itself is really good!

I'm diggin' it!

Later

Upon initial listens, I could do without Kanye's constant adlibs.

Not number 1 in my book.

Do u consider the vocals good? Just a question....

Graycap23 said:

Not really, but his voice at least has character.

Pharrell goes way out of key on the second line so you kinda know what you're in for.

CinisterCee said:

If a singer CANNOT sing in key.....he should NOT be singing.

Graycap23 said:

You're probably right but I'm used to hearing producers that can't sing as well as the people they hand over songs to so I don't really flinch.

This is more along the lines of what I thought would be on the album.

Too bad he and Kelis fell out because I’d like to hear her on a cut or two. I'm not really feeling I'm Bossy.

SKATEBOARD P!!!!!

Gah. Here I am think it was a Goldfrapp cover.

That would be kinda cool if he did cover that song, tho'. With his falsetto.

The melody of the song is very Off The Wallish. I like the way P's voice soundz on the track. The only thing Im not feeling is Kanye's rambling all over the track. Im definitly feeling what Pharrell is cookin'.

JULY 25th folks!

His falsetto is terrible

At least he would actually get his hands on a good song, though

Are we still believing these release dates?

Ok, ok, July 25, 2067.

VoicesCarry said:

lovin it!

Each time I hear it, I like it even more.

In the past I've been a fan of Pharrell's production. He peeked with In Search Of..., and I've been bored with most stuff he's done since then (though I liked Kelis' last album). It's kinda dull and the production sounds exactly like everything he's done in the past couple of years. The backing vocals in the chorus are catchy, but that's about it. Boring. Oh, and Kanye says "shit" about 20 times too many.

Shelf the entire album. Are people even looking forward to this album anymore? Its release is a joke.

I like it. It doesnt sound like anything else on the radio.

Hook has this Blame it On the Boogie / Ladies Night (bridge) feel. Retro and new. I like it.

I thought for sure I was going to throw up all over the place but it really is nice

dreamfactory313 said:

me too, when i first heard it i thought it was Ok, now i LOVE it

Pharrell returns in the form of early 80's MJ. Hasn't got the voice but at least he tried . I like it.

Now put out a version without Kanye on it.

WildStyle said:

And with a different singer.


Basically, sell this track to MJ.
