Finally I get to see one of my ideas come to life! This Friday June 20th, Timbaland Vs. The Neptunes @ The Library in Chapel Hill. Gonna be a really dope event, and as you can see we have some good sponsors lined up for it. Paradime and I will be playing all Timbaland and Neptunes produced tracks all night long, starting at the mid-90s and all the way up today’s hits. Come and celebrate/appreciate these great producers with us!
Let’s spark it off with a gem from the Clipse. Here’s the video for “The Funeral” which I’d never seen until I was making this post. This song was on an album the Clipse made which was shelved and never released (they got dropped by Elektra back in the day). Check the appearance by a young Pharrell in the video. Circa 1997. This was ahead of it’s time I think.
And here’s a pretty unknown Timbaland-produced track by Skillz, “Off The Wall”. I used to love playing this joint on my radio show. Circa 2003 when a lot of Timbaland’s beats were instrument stabs and drum heavy (see Cee-Lo, I’ll be Around). Sorry for the piss quality of the video, but finding this one on youtube is like finding a needle in a haystack.
VA, whatup.
