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.
They’ve been drifting apart for quite some time and when you got two dudes and one is an introvert while the other is a social beast, stuff is bound to happen. At some point I think Chad decided to crack out of his shell a bit but time (in terms of the industry) has gone bye.
He wanted to sit for a bit and Pharrell kept cranking out music this entire time. look back at the Madonna “Hard Candy” album, “Little Miss Havana” by Gloria Estefan, “ HHNF” by the Clipse, all of the stuff he did with Ariana, his “GIRL” album and even the last NERD album. That was all him and add in the BBC/Ice Cream stuff, the hotel, the Hans Zimmer stuff. Dude made it clear without saying that he didn’t “need” Chad.
Now this Neptunes name lawsuit is likely the final nail in their situation. And during this whole time, Chad done got divorced from his chick, his kids grew up, married a new chick and had kids with her. How much music was he even pushing out all this time?
I’d be shocked if these dudes link up again.
