IMM ALSO INCLUDES "RASPY SHIT" WHICH IS THE WORST SONG IN YOUR DISCOGRAPHY I HATE THAT SONG SO MUCH YOU ARE SO GROSS FOR THAT. AND "I REALLY LIKE YOU GIRL" IS EASILY THE BEST SONG ON THIS ALBUM WITH YOUR BEST TIMBERLAKE IMPERSONATION AND STEVIE HARMONICA. I STILL TO THIS DAY DONT THINK I CAN MAKE A SONG BETTER THAN "THAT GIRL". THE UPRIGHT BASSLINE ON "CAN I HAVE IT LIKE THAT" OR THE BUCKETS ON "HOW DOES IT FEEL". IMM RANGES IN DIFFERENT STYLES AND SOUNDS AND I BELIEVE THATS WHY I GRAVITATED TO IT SO MUCH. I WAS 15 ATTENDING SUMMER SCHOOL AT HAWTHORNE HIGH, SPENDING MOST OF MY NIGHTS TRYING TO FIND ANY SNIPPETS OF THE ALBUM ON VARIOUS GERMAN SITES. To many young black creatives, Pharrell is held as an icon, as he represents some sort of brand independence, in an industry where this is sparse. Tyler’s appreciation has single-handedly expanded The Neptunes following to a new generation. Tyler, The Creator has publicly cited Williams as an influence multiple times. This following is so distinctive, that it expands to other musicians. The duo’s knack for street fashion brands such as Bape and Thrasher allowed them to create a distinguishable cult following. Since their development circa 1990, the duo have re-appeared as a record label (Star Trak records), a funk-rock rap group ( N*E*R*D*), or even under Pharrell Williams as a solo artist. ‘The Neptunes’ itself is the title of long-time friends Chad Hugo and Pharrell Williams’ record production team. In the years 2002-2005, the rap scene was at its most competitive, big name record makers such as Swizz Beatz, Timbaland, and Jermaine Dupri emblazoned the production credits of leading tracks, it was in this environment, The Neptunes gained traction, spearheaded by Pharrell, the production duo created a distinct sound that infiltrates the music industry to this day. Hip-hop producers were in heavy demand, as every artist needed a bass-riddled ‘urban’ instrumental to climb the charts. Rap features, instrumentation and hip-hop influence hung heavy in popular chart music. The beginning of the millennium saw the interpolation of hip-hop and rap into mainstream consumption.
