Not disrespect to DreamFactory313, but is Pharrell just about played out? I mean his new song with Kanye West is not all that impressive to me. What do you think? ya Dreams.

IMHO the Neptunes were finished - creatively - in 2001. They should have just quit then.

i wouldn't say they are played out but they could definitely start working on something a bit more fresh. then again everyone could, right?

I think Pharrell and co. are some cool mf's but their production is WAY played-out.

No way. Some of the only mainstream stuff I still like is from the Neptunes.

are you serious??

dancerella said:

Yup. They've been doing too much of the same thing for too long, IMO. Again, I think they're cool as hell (Pharrell's hot, too ) and they ARE talented and creative, but they need to change it up.

squiddyren said:

yeah, i see your point. they definitely have a unique sound but now it's time for a channge. timbaland had they whole middle eastern sound for a while which was hot at the time but then i was thinking to myself he needs to switch it up too. i like what he's done for nelly furtado.

They make the most purple music today, including uptempo funk.

Like what? I used to love him/them but lost interest. What's out now from them that's good?

Like the new shit from Famlay, The Clipse.

"Say Somethin" was one of the best singles last year.

CinisterCee said:

Snoop ruined Say Something for me. I'll give the other shit a listen.

CinisterCee said:

that song and Wanna Love You Girl with Robin Thicke were the last songs that Pharrell did that I enjoyed.

I wouldn't say he's played out. But Pharrell's probably lost alot of potential momentum he had when his album was originally supposed to release last November.

are u serious?Pharrell is what we all secretly wish prince was today!

P has more talent in his pinky-toe than Pharrell

GhostX said:

Mentioning these 2 in the same conversation should be ILLEGAL.

Graycap23 said:

Co-sign....Pharrell was the flavor of the month...there will be a post asking where he is in 4 months.

I think he should have never tried to pull a Puff Daddy. He should of just stuck to producing.

GhostX said:

ditto

Well, maybe people (the general public) are a bit tired of him by this point. Over-exposure most definitely. But I'm sure he can start living off on his fanbase for his own records and still get a lot of work oppurtinities as a producer for the stars. I don't see him going totally away anytime soon.

He´ll probably be around for at least a decade.

GhostX said:

Truthfully, this isn't a fair comparison. Prince has more talent than just about anyone in the bizz. Whether you like Pharrell or not, you're just stating the obvious.

Is it just me or does this chorus sound like "Blame It On The Boogie" by The Jacksons? This sounds like a MJ 1979 production..but maybe that's why I kind of dig it.

SPYZFAN1 said:

Yknow, exactly. How can this be a bad thing?

Better yet, is it me or does his latest single sound A LOT like "Frontin'"?

Pharrell is always in somebodies video and song. It seems like if an artist wants a hit they call Pharrell.
