Read it and let me know if this is what everyone is thinking; seems so.

Thanks Card Puller!

Dear Pharrell:

You are fucking up. As a concerned listener and devotee of your infectious beats created with your compadre Chad Hugo, I feel its my personal duty to point out that you my dear are without a doubt on some different shit. Cut it out already.

I first noticed you slipping shortly after “Excuse Me Miss” dropped. You were supposed to be putting out the new N.E.R.D album which had been delayed for the 50-11th time. I was cool with your hooks, and I wasn’t even all that pissed about your incessant “Ummm Yes Sirrrrrr” on every damn track. I was feeling your beats and that’s all that mattered.

Then all of the sudden, you were rapping and singing on every fuckin track, and hocking that retarded Ice Cream shit. You were suddenly everywhere, and I couldn’t look up without you singing the hook or the damn bridge on something. I mean what happened to beats, and btw where the fuck is Chad? I only remembered his ass was missing after seeing Kelis in “Young Fresh and New” the other day.

Oh and may I add a big WTF to that steaming pile of shit you did with Gwen Stefani. Congratulations you actually managed to fuck with her cool points, and yes she had a fucking ton after “Holla Back Girl” fuck you very much.

Now, every two seconds you are on my tv with Con-yey’s gassed up ass singing that shitty “Number 1″ song. I can’t take it! But the last straw for me is Sleepy Brown’s “Margarita”. Clearly the song is a summer banger (did I say that?) however, you managed to sing the hook on a song with an actual R&B singer on it. Sleepy was more than capable of singing the hook on his own damn song, but here you come fucking up.

If memory seves me correctly, you aren’t a good a singer, and you arent that great a rapper either.So I am begging, for the love of god, go let Chad out of the basement, dust off your Neptunes hat, put up your StarTrac salute, get back in the studio already and just do beats. That’s all nothing else, just beats and hurry.

I am at my wits end with you and I can’t fully comprehend your Kanye connection either so quick fast quit him like Jamie did and be on your job please and thanks. I expect results like you are writing “Rump Shaker the Remix” so get crackin. Don’t be too upset, I am writing a similar letter to Timaland.

By full frontal nudity, I mean Pharrelll is ready to put his own wears on display on his upcoming solo album In My Mind. Below is an excerpt from Pharrell’s skateboardp.com website:

The fans, when they come up to me, they just treat me like I’ve had an album,” Pharrell says. “So I started thinking, ‘What am I doing?’ Maybe I should do an album.

In early 2005, Pharrell began working on In My Mind, an album that captures both his hip-hop and R&B personas. Pharrell explains, The hip-hop songs are more the introspective side of my view and how I look at life, and the R&B stuff is the more vulnerable side.

The album features appearances by Gwen Stefani, Kanye West, Slim Thugg, Daddy Yankee and a few other people. Pharrell is definitely doing his thing, but can I just say… I CAN’T STAND PHARRELL!

What is with this theme of domination everyone has? bell hooks would call it ‘patriarchial hip hop’. I believe that IF you can rap, sing and dance, then SAMBO get out there and do the damn thing. But there is something in this entreprenurial spirit that hip hop has created that a lot of people get confused. Yes build your brand, try new things, but people like Pharrell get on my fucking nerves because although he is a great producer he’s is no one’s singer, rapper or front man. Oohh let me piggy back with Jay-Z and get a hit called “Frontin”. And Oooh, let me try to reproduce Gwen Stefani’s success from “Holla Back Girl” with “Can I Have It Like That”. Clearly we weren’t feeling you so NO YOU CAN’T HAVE IT LIKE THAT!

Interscope didn’t believe it either hence Skateboard P was sent back to the lab and he re-emerges with a great song “Number One” featuring Kanye West. “Number One” is hot track because it’s well produced, and that is where Pharrell does a good job. But people are either getting it twisted or the machine is just pimping his popularity by allowing this Billionaire Boyz Club and all these other hair brain schemes. Have you seen the video?

Kanye is the star of that video. He upstages Pharrell, kinda like Eve did in Mary J. Blige’s video for “Not Today“. Pharrell is just an accessory to Kanye’s suprisingly subdued star power.

So now that I have ranted, almost inappropriately, I ask… Are you feeling Pharrell? Feeling him enough to go out and legally purchase his upcoming cd In My Mind? Or is this a get it while you can culture and Pharrell’s schizophrenic actions are just a sign of the times?

I love how Kanye repeats “World Famous” which is a throwback Malcolm McLaren “World Famous Supreme Team Radio Show”. Amerie puts a spin on the very same sample for a song that MAY appear on her upcoming CD. (But since I can’t get my m4a converter to work, y’all gotta wait til I figure it out before I can leak the Amerie. It’s fire though…)
