RAP OR GO TO THE LEAGUE. 2 CHAINZ


Written by : Christina Rateau (@blue_spiritu)

Sometimes you need a reminder that you’re a G, know what I’m sayin’? I have the peeerrrfect song for that! Check out ‘Momma I Hit A Lick’ by 2 Chainz featuring Kendrick Lamar (& produced by Pharrell Williams). I kid you not, whenever I listen to this song, it restores my gangsta confidence.

In this song, both 2 Chainz and Kendrick talk about their successes in the game. To me, it’s kind of like a ‘Momma I made it’ type of song. [Trust me, I will play this for my Mom when I make it]. There’s definitely some honorary mentions on the new album though! Check out the following: “I Said Me (produced by 30 Roc & Dat Boi Squeeze)” and “I’m Not Crazy, Life is ft Chance The Rapper & Kodak Black (produced by FKi 1st & Mike Dean)”

Moncler在這2013年可謂大放光彩,繼與Mary Katrantzou的合作計畫之後,這次與音樂人兼制作人 Pharrell Williams 合作推出太陽眼鏡,具新鮮的組合。音樂圈與時尚圈的交流是十分緊密,互相交流的文化使設計變得獨特,就如這次太陽眼鏡的設計不但具有個性的氣質,亦配合品牌的形象,使具性格之餘亦不失一致性。這次Pharrell Williams亦擔任這款眼鏡的代言人,可以說親力親為。號外!眼鏡喜愛人注意!還不趕快入購 Moncler X Pharrell Williams的太陽眼鏡!!

Cool, Cool, Coooooool. We riding with Moncler. We’ve been for a hot sec how, with the magazine we can just show some proper love. So the latest addition to the stable of Moncler is this Parrell Williams designed piece. On the official, its for the ladies but I can’t see nothing that identifies it as a women’s piece, and ain’t no fella gonna get any masculine points deducted if he can pull these off. Cooooool.

來自美國維珍尼亞洲的超級巨星Pharell Williams,早在兒時便與好友Chad Hugo組成樂隊Neptunes,同時又與另一友人Shay Harley組成另一個組合N.E.R.D.,在1990年代出道時已開始引人注目。出道至今日,他已涉足至時裝、藝術、影視界,今年甚至變身成作家,與著名出版社Rizzoli推出名為《Places & Spaces I’ve Been》的書籍,誓要在出版界大展拳腳。我們與 Skateboard P(Williams的別名)做了一次專訪。

You don’t recognize this man? That rock your under must be comfortable, dark, and soundproof. Pharrell Williams mofo! His proficiency in producing the hits is perhaps only surpassed by his prolific output. I don’t have enough appendages to list of what he has done, and done successfully. Just to let you know we were able to sit down and chat with him as he was in Hong Kong to promote his book, ‘Places and Spaces I’ve Been’, from publisher, Rizzoli.

SPITGAN – Pharell你有其他較少人知道的別名嗎?
PHARRELL – Golden Bones、Megatron。

SG – 好,我們就由Nothing開始說起。(Nothing 是N.E.R.D.近期的音樂大牒)
P – Yes sir。這張大牒當中有3首歌其實我是頗討厭的,因為我覺得像是被置在一個主要音樂廠牌經常遇到的局面──電臺的人總想找一些適合在電臺播放的歌曲。但N.E.R.D.從來不是一個會配合電臺的樂隊,我們大部分時間都是在一些音樂節或現場演出。這是一張為樂迷度身訂做,而不是去配合電臺而妥協、變得商業化的大牒。除了那3首歌,當中有很多歌曲,像《Inside the Clouds》、《Help ME》、《God Blessed Us All》、《Life As A Fish》我都十分喜歡。

SG – 他們把你迫得很緊嗎?
P – 也不是,但已經令這張大牒留下一些污點。我仍覺得那是一張很具水準的大牒。特別是《Like a Fish》,當中可以看到你們的大躍進。我們知道所有事物都是一個迴圈。這是Hippies回歸的日子,是時候去表達自我。我們看到這個日子的來臨,對於能夠成為首幾個提倡者我感到十分驕傲。

SG – 你為Neptunes創作的第一首歌曲是什麼?
P – 與Blackstreet及Teddy Riley合作的《Tonight’s the Night》,那是我們的第一首佳作。
