N*E*R*D - NOTHING

N*E*R*D's new album NOTHING is pretty DOPE. It's not the best N*E*R*D album but their consistency and production keeps growing and getting better. Pharrell's vocal ranges and harmonies are better too. Some of the songs still suffer from various schizophrenic moments of confusion where you wish that it would either stay one way or the other, instead of spiraling into a clash of sounds. "Help Me" is currently my favorite.

Wale -ft. Pharrell Let It Loose * Hand Me Downs*

I dig Wale here and there. His delivery is a bit too "rapping for rap sake" his style is designer "cool kid" his mind set seems "conscious rap head." He's got a lot going on. But this record....this record right here.....obviously wasn't for him at first. Clearly this was given to Jay-Z (or Nelly) and he passed on it and gave it to his young boy. The beat came with a great hook, a hook that you can hear a bar deleted out which probably said something like..."HOV is in the house." My prob is, It's a great beat with a great hook. That got thrown away twice! Once by Jay and again by Wale. Whatever he is rapping about has nothing to do with the hook or the feeling of the beat. The song then comes across as awkward. Dammit Man!!! I hate when good songs go bad!!!

This new joint Work That," from the Teriyaki Boyz ft. Pharrell and Chris Brown (for like 2 secs) has a severe Baltimore Club sound. The joint is hot for real. A lot of Asian Butts in the video.
