Yeah that's true I get that, and Idk Pharell just seem like the type of cat to know a little about music theory. But he still made sure to say the right things in the deposition which was to deny everything
He would have been better off just saying I will not answer that question, than saying he knows the notes and when they ask him to name the notes saying, notes mean different things to people and other foolish shyt, hell he even tried to say there were no chord changes in got to give it up, something false on its face.

All that to say the music shyt isn't even the big deal to me, its how he was caping for Thicke and saying he is my friend, blah blah blah, and then you read Robin Thicke's shyt and he is like, I didn't have anything to do with making the song. I was drunk and high on pills, Pharell did all that shyt.

I can't lie I, liked the early Neptunes work...even the stuff they ghost did for Teddy Riley pre neptunes .They are creative but not musicians.....I will go look up the deposition to enjoy a good laugh.

I gave up on these "rap producers" when kanye west compared himself to quincy jones...These dudes are bozos...

*And Alan throwing Pharell under the bus? Did you expect anything different? Did he say "I'm appalled?" like Timberlake?

I think Quincy Jones is on that bullshyt though, this is the man so proud of working with white people but jealous that lil Mike Jackson with no understanding of music terms created Thriller, that he stole MJ's producer credit.

I'm of the opinion good music is good music, you don't have to fake it, just make it

The Q/MJ beef about Thriller is par for the course whenever a project greatly exceeds expectations..more a function of egos clashing than anything else.
Q's love of white people is real and well documented......so was MJ's.

MJ was the greatest entertainer in world history, but if you read or study the history of American music, it would be hard to find a more accomplished artist than Q.

I don't think its par the course, not when you listen to the level of demos that MJ made in terms of making these songs that Q stole from him in terms of credit.
I don't knock Q's accomplishment, I just think his dismissal of modern, good producers, because they don't use orchestration is weak as hell and an appeal to white acceptance of what is "supposed" to be praised. That said Quincy is a long line of successful and influenctial black musicians, so I have respect for him.

Pretty sure he said all that shyt so they couldn't use that against him for the song...

You really think dude as talented as Pharell can't do all that shyt?

You don't need to know how to read music to make pop music.

Mariah Carey don't know shyt about chords or reading music and she's one of the best technical singers of all time...

Michael Jackson didn't know how to read music...he basically beatboxed all his shyt...

Kanye West don't know how to read music

The Beatles didn't know how to read msusic...


Plenty of the musicians and artists with millions of records sold couldn't tell you anything technical about music...:yeshrug:


When it comes to defending your art...you have to be honest...

Michael Jackson was in the same deposition when someone claimed he stole their and that nikka sure knew everything about his song without knowing the technical detail...

Motherfukker started beat boxing and shyt...
