Mad true.

Which is why Kelis was wildin' and calling out Chad on IG. Saying he needs to stop letting Pharrell steal his credit and man up and tell people what he worked on and wasn't credited for. But dude is crazy laidback and humble. He's not trying to be all in the front and in the videos like that.

Chad worked on those beats with him. That's why he's suing for his credit.

Facts

he spoke on this an interview with Vulture back in 2022


An album you worked on that did come out in 1999 was Kelis’s first album, Kaleidoscope. Recently, she has said she didn’t feel like the splits in that situation were fair. I’m curious what your response is.
I heard about her sentiment toward that. I mean, I don’t handle that. I usually hire business folks to help out with that kind of stuff. We made some cool records back then with Kelis. She was definitely eclectic and artsy, and she was nice. We recorded that album at a beach house in Virginia Beach, in Sandbridge, with the thought of it hitting the clubs and suburbs. That’s always the core: clubs and suburbs. It’d be great to connect with her again somewhere down the line.

Between you and Pharrell, is there a take-charge person, or does it switch off, like how in Wu-Tang Clan sometimes one guy carries the record and sometimes it’s someone else?
I kinda always assumed the recording-in-the-studio duties. I sing songs at home, but I was never, like, a recording vocalist. Pharrell let me know, “However you want to be a part of it, we’ll go to the Grammys.” I was grateful for being available to help in any way I can. There are times when I sang background on some of the N.E.R.D. records and some of the Neptunes records that I’m not getting credit for or even worried about getting credit for. I was just trying to make the song sound dope and hit hard at clubs and have people moving to it in a certain way.

Are there records you regret not playing on that you could have been a part of?
I was there when I needed to be there. I did my thing and was glad to be a part of it. I helped the best way I could at any time. I was there and did what was needed from me and did what was necessary without compromising any creative integrity.

I was looking over the credits for Pusha T’s album It’s Almost Dry, and I didn’t see you in there?
I was involved in that record, to be honest with you. We’re trying to work that out.

Was there a mix-up with the credits?
I guess you could call it that.

Would you call it something else?
We made some tunes. There were some good vibes there. We recorded it in Florida at a boathouse studio. I played some keys here and there. I was present.

yeah, that interview pretty much laid it all out. lol

hell yeah.

you can tell he is all about the music and really doesn't like dealing with the business side of things at all.


I HATE it when “pure” artists get fukked over but after more than 25 years in the business its got to hit you that you are not just an artist, you are a businessman by default. Nas said it best, the moment you sign your name on any kind of deal congratulations, you just became a businessman. For these artists who want to be about the art foremost, its best to be like Dr Dre, Nas, RZA, etc. who are astute businessmen and just don’t publicize it over their musical/artistic endeavors.

You can tell they we're jamming "Hate blood" from the jermaine dupri album specifically Jadakiss's verse to come up with that title.

"Papi had raw, then I bought him out
You know me, fukk n...
Kill 'em all, let God sort 'em out..."

I think Chad is credited on 2 songs from what I remember. Kind of weird that he won't be involved in this.

I guess P and Chad still haven't worked their situation out. I'll take a new Clipse album though.
Damn why only two songs? Maybe he was busy during the time or something.

Do you think it's a reference from a Jadakiss verse on a Jermaine Dupris album or because it's a saying as old as literature? :whoa:
