Ny your logic, his "wackness" should've rubbed off on Beyonce too since he produced four successful singles for her ("Check On It", "Ring The Alarm", "Get Me Bodied" and "Upgrade You").

He wasn't selling trash beats. He was selling beats to people who obviously didn't hear what you heard.


When your married you become one,I guess luckily she had Jayzs greatness to cancel out Swizz:mjlol:

And I hope you arent comparing the Alicia Keyes standard with the Beyonce musical standard lol.


I didnt remember him doing Check Up On It. Ill give him that since I have good memories with that one:ohlawd:.


The others were obnoxious,noisy and uninspired as I remember. Why those whistles are a staple of his Ill never know.

Right. P had to know that's shady moves. I hope they work it out.

Swizz? The man who singlehandedly created Beyonce by sabatoguing Alicia Keys? Probably as a favor to his long time friend Jay-z?

The dumbest thing in this thread by far. No producer can ever say they "made" Beyoncé least of all Swizz. And Alicia sleeping with a married man and getting her voice snatched is not Bey's fault or problem.

the case claims that sharing never actually happened, partly because Pharrell’s company has insisted on “onerous business terms” that would deprive Hugo of proper control and compensation. The petition did not specify what exactly those “onerous” terms included.

Seems like Pharrell tried to doubletalk his ass. :ld:

I didnt say it was her fault,I specefically blamed Swizz. But your probably to young to remember that period where Alicia Keys was more popular and more highly regarded than Beyonce.


But 1 or 2 more good albums from Alicia and your girl wouldve made that humbled,permanant detour into acting like Will Smith did once he saw Gettin Jiggy With It wasnt moving the needle:mjlol:

they need a separate contract for the clothing and other ventures outside of music

where the name is used but if Chad doesnt want to be involved... he gets a smaller cut due to not contributing to designs etc

if he's just bytching about the name... then he needs to get involved in the process :yeshrug: you gotta let the products fly or just sign off on condition and focus on the music

chad is right for not getting shyt and wondering why
pharrell is right for looking at new growth

suit looks dumb because it doesnt say what chad actually wants in the grand scheme % wise ... since it cant be 50/50 if he's not based in products
and then pharrell looks dumb because he thought he could just use the name and take 100% without repercussion ... maybe Pharrell knew it would speed up the negotiation process and didnt care :yeshrug: I'd give him 15% of the product profit for doing nothing and hold distribution, stock, material, promotion, workers, etc to hold my case against the limit he gets from just claiming a name

Not super interested in non Black people who make Hip Hop.

There's dope ones.. but they so very often ditch Hip Hop after they get on.

That is irrelevant. I'm not a fan of any of their shyt per se, but I recognize. There's definitely classic joints in their discog. Special shout out to Grinding.

From a snob view, the dude Chad is nothing to me. Where's his solo shyt? I don't actually care, but I think I woulda heard it if he was that dude.

I hope they resolve it. It sounds like Pharrell is still trying to go for a win/win. I know Chad added a tonne of great work. But He didn't become a solo star like Pharrell and I don't know if he dropped solo producer records. Pharrell put a tonne of extra work in besides Neptunes.
