N.E.R.D. how cool pt. 2

I remember having a skateboard growing up but none of the group that I hung out with stuck with the boards. Pharrell Williams, a.k.a. Skateboard P was part of the hip hop movement that made it not only cool to be who you are, but make music that was not etched in stone in any music category. Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo were signed to Virgin Records as the hip hop duo called The Neptunes. Pharrell and Chad met in a summer camp for the gifted and talented at the age of 12. The range of hits they are responsible for range from hip hop, R&B and pop songs with Britney Spears. N.O.R.E.s "Super Thug" was the first successful hit for the group but who would have envisioned them being responsible for hits like Jay-Z's "Give It To Me", Mystikals "Shake Ya Ass", Usher's "You Don't Have To Call", Britney Spears' worldwide smash hit "I'm A Slave 4 U" and several other #1 club tracks. In 2002 the group was awarded by The Source and Billboard as "Producers of the Year". That same year they were responsible for the hit "Hot In Here" by Nelly. Worth over 155 million the Vibe magazine viewers voted The Neptunes the 3rd greatest hip hop producers of all time behind Dr. Dre and DJ Premier. The compilation of hits from the late 90's New Jack Swing sound to Britney Spears pop has lead this group to their own sound today. Not bad for a bunch of nerds huh???
