I was browsing on the homie Drew Reports page, and I saw a direct quote from Pharrell regarding the comeback of the Neptunes, and the new coined phrase “hip-hop steroids”. Check it:

“We got a lot of new treats,” Pharrell says ith fellow members Shay and Chad Hugo nodding in agreement Pharrell says “I know I’ve been out doing the rock n’ roll thing, but know that the empire strikes back.” First, The Neptunes has the new Clipse album “Till The Casket Drops” coming out which Pharrell says he produced a “sizable amount” of the beats, including the collabo with a certain Harlem rapper. “The feature with Cam’ron is pretty serious,” said Shay, breaking his silence, with Pharrell agreeing, “Cam blacks on that.” Pharrell went on to talk about the new N.E.R.D. album stating “If you were to ever go on the road with us, and see 80,000 people jumping at festivals, you’d know that there’s room for a hip-hop element — but those kids wanna jump,” finishing “And we’re absolutely hooked on it.” When asked about the trio’s more rock-oriented sound” he replied “It’s got more steroids in it, but hip-hop is definitely one of the shots.”

 

Well, well Mr. Pharrell. Sounds damn good to me! And if my memory serves me correctly, PHarrell and the Neptunes NEVER had a problem moving the crowd… Ya dig?
