I'm not expert enough to comment really so I had a look at what the press thinks...

http://www.jsonline.com/onwisconsin/...ar02/28855.asp

"The just-out debut album "In Search Of . . . " from N.E.R.D., alter-ego of production wizards The Neptunes (Pharrell Williams and Chad "Chase" Hugo), moves hip-hop into new musical territory even as it mocks the genre's cliches.

Williams and Hugo, bringing childhood friend Sheldon "Shay" Haley aboard to complete the N.E.R.D. collective (an acronym for Nobody Ever Really Dies), turn the radio hit formula on its head, throwing in elements of '70s soft-rock, AC/DC power chords, flat-out funk and whatever else tickles their fancy."

Are you talking about everything that Pharell Williams has done then or just N.E.R.D? Cos Frontin was just him with Jay Z wasnt it?

Why bump this very old thread to make an extremely pointless comment, especially when I doubt this user will ever come back to read it?
