To be fair, many of the tracks are infectious as hell, specifically the premiere single, 'Can I Have It Like That.' Granted Pharrell's flow is a little sticky, but the smoky timbre of his loose lipped baritone is ruggedly appealing in a manner of speaking. Instead he's brought along a passel of powerfully recognizable friends including Gwen Stefani, Slim Thug, Jay Z, Snoop, Nelly, Kanye West, Pusha T, and Lauren. As can be expected Pharrell ain't flying solo, per se. records and a Neptunes album, Williams may just be pushing the envelope a little too far. But there's also too much of a good thing and after having laced up more artists than you can shake a stick out, having dropped two N.E.R.D.

Pharrell Williams is currently residing in that penthouse near the stars, reaping the benefits of having stumbled upon a signature production sound that has made many a pop star hip and of importance to those who follow pop culture's ever changing heartbeat. Let's face it, when everybody is clamoring to have you create a beat for them or croon Curtis Mayfield style on their next single or even lace them up with Billionaire Boys Club freebies, you damn well know that you're livin' pretty close to the top of the world. There's something to be said about being the King N.E.R.D.
