Yes.
And I say proudly he has been my little asian genius since way before this new Seeing Sounds hype.
I remember when I couldn't even find "In Search Of" available for Mp3 download ANYWHERE on the web. I wasn't on the N.E.R.D. or Startrek forums but I was the only girl I knew my age who had that album and also wasted a little cash on "Fly or Die" and never let anyone talk shit about "In My Mind" cause I still think almost every track was golden, (though chad had nothing to do with that). Well anyway what I'm saying is that I loved them since before they were hot cause they were "New Music." But I don't know why I'm trying to prove my love of em' to you guys anyway... Chad was always my favorite while my friends crooned for Pharrell, personally I think Pharrell looks like an Ant Eater while Chad was always my Samurai fantasy. Hey, if you blogging dudes get to drool off the likes of Ms. Olivia Munn... (yes Klep, I know she's awesome), then I want to obsess on Chad for a couple seconds a week...
And not just for his chinky eyes and perfect cheek bones, and his new balder head, (I hated the shiny hair)... or for his newer buffer looking bod or his all around sexiness....
But for the fact that he's from Virginia and those people are the best. I'm buying a house down there. Summer vacays to Va Beach are something I recommend everyone do before they die. But you must drive down there...
Well anyway... not only that lol,
But also from looking at the back of every album I liked since 2000. Period. That certain sound that made me develop my own sound one day, was the sound of Chad Hugo on a beat. He does the work, Pharrell does the hooks and has a great voice for those tracks... But Chad is asian, c'mon... He works those keys mathematically.
Look forward to more of Mr. Hugo on here. My Asian Cravin'. ©
Haha. He's an ass.

Good to see Chad being recognized. You can always tell when "The Neptunes" make a track or if it's just a Pharrell track. Which is exactly why IMM failed. No Chad on there. On the same note you can kinda feel a Neptunes comeback for that same reaason Chad is all over it again. Madonna album is a great example... no more "produced by Pharrell for the Neptunes" credits anymore. Sounds good to me!
ReplyDeleteHe's like the brains behind a lot of production him and Pharrell do. People don't know he produced all of Kenna's music, and both of Kenna's albums were beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHe's really a cool lowkey guy... and I have a lot of respect for what he does and stands for.
GOOD POST!!
