Faster, Stronger The fastest thing at yesterday's US Grand Prix wasn't Lewis Hamilton it was Pharrell Williams, who shamelessly hooked himself on to the F1 wonderboy's bandwagon with impressive speed. Yessir. Our favourite newt-faced Ice Cream Man professed his desire to work with Hamilton (we're assuming Lil Lewis has a Daddy Freddy-style rocket flow) during an embarrassing pre-race interview with ITV's trackside moron, Martin Brundle. Pharrell has been up to his old tricks again recently, namely re-recording flop albums with live instrumentation in the hope they'll rise Lazurus-like from the bargain bins. While he shouldn't have bothered changing the first NERD album (the original, electronic version still sounds great), In My Mind wasn't even a good album to begin with. ?uestlove's occasionally bland blend of hop-hop-jazz-funk is not going to save it. We blame Nigo. Pharrell was cool until he shaved off his spivvy ‘tache and got into the whole BAPE thing. That said, let us not forget that three years ago the Neptunes provided the first, and still the best, hip-hop take on a Daft Punk song. Sorry Kanye. Pharrell & the Yessirs - How Does It Feel?
