Geggy Tah Say Clipse Ripped Them Off

Reader David e-mails, "TMZ claims no one remembers Geggy Tah. I remember GT and so does David Byrne." The '90s alt-rockers say Clipse's Pharrell-produced "All I Wanna Do (Feel Like Me)" copies their "Whoever You Are." Compare. (Last TMZ link... CONTINUE READING GEGGY TAH SAY CLIPSE RIPPED THEM OFF»

New N.E.R.D. Video - "Sooner Or Later"

I can't help but look at The Year That Was for the artists that pop up with fresh content in this last few weeks of the blog year. For N.E.R.D. and its most visible face, Pharrell, it was a collaborative... CONTINUE READING NEW N.E.R.D. VIDEO - "SOONER OR LATER"»

M.I.A. Gets Mashed-Up By Diesel, Remixed By Jay-Z

Last year's Clash-sampling, terror-ific "Paper Planes" found a second life this summer, thanks to Pineapple Express and a bunch of hot rappers. Maya tells Rolling Stone, "The way human beings hear stuff, it's like, suddenly a song sounds better to... CONTINUE READING M.I.A. GETS MASHED-UP BY DIESEL, REMIXED BY JAY-Z»

New Common (Feat. Pharrell) Video - "Universal Mind Control"

In July Common released the two-track Announcement EP, which was really just that: an announcement that there was a new record on the way, of which Pharrell Williams figured to be a big part. The EP's Neptunes-produced/Pharrell-featuring pair of songs... CONTINUE READING NEW COMMON (FEAT. PHARRELL) VIDEO - "UNIVERSAL MIND CONTROL"»

New Santogold, Julian Casablancas & Pharrell Video - "My Drive Thru"

When we first brought up the selling power trio of Santogold, Julian Casablancas, and Pharrell we played you their fast food-redolent jingle "My Drive Thru" and mentioned that there would eventually be a video ... or, well, Chuck Taylor commercial...

New Santogold, Julian Casablancas & Pharrell - "My Drive Thru"

It's an unlikely trio of artist that are helping get Converse's centennial celebration underway. Maybe not the pairing of Pharrell and Santogold -- actually it's somewhat surprising that this is their first project together -- but Strokes lead man Julian...

Santogold, Julian Casablancas And Pharrell Are Converse All Stars

What do you get when you combine the selling power of Bud Light's Santogold with the laconic New York charm of the Stroke's Casablancas and the non-laconic L.A. sizzle of N.E.R.D.-y Pharrell Williams (not featuring Lindsay Lohan)? Basically, a well-produced... CONTINUE READING SANTOGOLD, JULIAN CASABLANCAS AND PHARRELL ARE CONVERSE ALL STARS»

New N.E.R.D. (Feat. Lindsay Lohan) Video - "Everybody Nose"

Yeah not "Feat." Lindsay Lohan in a way that'll do much for her artistic cred. You actually get the sense, from the quick shot scene and her visible irritation, that Chad and Pharrell actually caught her with cam in hand... CONTINUE READING NEW N.E.R.D. (FEAT.

New Jay-Z (Feat. Pharrell) - "I Know"

Director Philip Andelman gives American Gangster's most smoothed out nighttime track a fittingly low-lighted, evening air -- "four separate and unrelated stories, four unique trips taken on by four girls in one night in New York City," is the pitch...

New N.E.R.D. - "Everyone Nose"

Pharrell and N.E.R.D. have been on our minds a lot lately, the In Search Of...-era coming up by way of comparison when describing to friends the production ticks and sleazy beats of "Golden Prize," the first single from Apes & Androids' awesome debut LP. So, news of new N.E.R.D. is welcome, particularly because, as expected, they're flashing some new looks. And we dig at least one of them: The sax 'n' double-bass verses kill, but the hooks are soporifically smoothed out and the "all the girls standing in the line..." line is just another slice of "B.O.O.T.A.Y." Don't think Apes & Androids will sound like this anytime soon. N.3.R.D. is out sometime this spring.

New Madonna (Feat. Pharrell) - "The Beat Goes On"

We know, a new Madonna track isn't exactly an 'event' anymore (particularly after the decidedly uneventful Live Earth ballad "Hey You"), but there's been enough news about her Madgesty's rumored collabs for her forthcoming, eleventh studio effort that we figured...

Premature Evaluation: Gwen Stefani - The Sweet Escape

From what we've read, Gwen Stefani was preparing an EP of L.A.M.B.'s bananas-lite leftovers. Pharrell thought they could pull off a full-length sequel. And that's how The Sweet Escape was born.
