This is really weird crediting
Wonder if Chad was out the picture for some reason and he wanted to break bread? I have no idea

The kelis situation did pop back up during the pandemic

As far as I can see on Discogs, since the original release in 2006, the liner notes have described the entire album as 'produced by The Neptunes'. But Chad Hugo has never been given any individual writing credits, whereas Pharrell has a writing credit on every song. So Pusha T might be telling the truth here.

There’s precedent for this being how teams work. Somewhat similar to Beatles songs being credited to Lennon/mccartney even if it was only one of them. There’s likely a contractual piece to it but also the branding is more impactful that way

yea this one is definitely a weird case and one that has made all parties involved move a bit more covertly. strange stuff. but what we do know is that there is no current relationship, working or otherwise, between pharrell and chad.

alway blows my when I check out Neptunes prod. discography was a day 1 Clipse fan and always thought of them mainly as their producers but;

ODB - Got Your Money

Mystikal - Shake Ya Ass

Luda - Southern Hospitality

Britney - Slave For You

Nelly - Hot In Here

Beyonce - Work It Out

Kelis - Milkshake

Snoop - Drop It Like Its Hot

Gwen - Hollaback Girl

Throne - Gotta Have It

Yeah he means what he means but idk he could’ve said something like Chad & P gave us something special and now what we do with P is different but just as special

i did not know P did Gotta Have It, how am i just finding this s*** out

Ride Around Shinin is a sample

Could’ve sworn HHNF had Chad on it. I remember seeing him credited several times or am I tripping?

It’s possible that they used The Neptunes brand as a sort of licensing vehicle for their IP overall at the time so even if they did something solo, the credit would still go under their umbrella because the name was more valuable at the time. I don’t think either of them had quite broken out on their own yet at this time but idk

they're versatile as hell tbh

Its always gonna be love

Told you niggas Pharrell produced HHNF by himself

They both have produced several things by themselves and credited it as The Neptunes

Chad wasnt on HHNF bc he was producing a pop album by himself i forget which one that was also credited as the neptunes. HHNF came mostly from a Kingdom Come beat pack that P did that Hov didnt use any of

i remember hearing about there being an issue with chad around 2005-7 were he was mostly inactive n that’s why P's album was self produced and so was HHNF. dont remember what it was about though

Pharrell & Chad will be fine

I’m almost sure

P & Chad ofc have their issues, which tbh is natural to some extent after being friends for 30+ years

I more meant btwn the Clipse and Chad

this beat and all early neptunes production (up until like 98-99) was mainly chad, apart from drums and lyrics

that’s why their earlier sound is so different from what they became known for

No Doubt - Hella Good

it wasn't defensive toward chad or Pharrell. they're trying to promote an album...why would they push an album that's missing something?

Forgot about that song

Interesting results when a rock band uses a hip-hop producer

Yeah in 06 is where Pharrell started making a lot of beats on his own.

The credits actually started saying "Produced by Pharrell from The Neptunes"

Late 2000s era P is slept on.
