Video: Bun’s Advice For “Young, Talented” Cats
“I can understand a kid [KiD CuDi] like that, who came into the game — he’s from Ohio, a small-town kid like myself — and within a matter of months, he went from being a person where, you know, like, ‘That kid’s got some pretty good talent,’ to, ‘Oh, my God, this is the next thing,’ ” Bun told us. “That could be pretty overwhelming for a kid that probably just wants to make good music. People are making him into a brand instantaneously, and that’s a lot of pressure to put on an individual. So I can completely understand someone being like, ‘You know what? I thought I was just going to be able to make music. This is turning into something wholly different.’
“One piece of advice I would give Cudi is to make sure he gets what he wants out of the situation, because there’s gonna be a lot of people who make sure they get what they want out of the situation,” he continued. “You gotta really know what it is you want before you step in. This game has a million directions it can pull you into, so if you come into it with no direction, then there’s no telling where you’ll end up. So you gotta make sure you come in with some kind of plan — just an outline, dude.”
And Bun isn’t just talking to Cudi here. He’s trying to talk to a whole bunch of “young, talented” cats like Asher Roth, B.o.B and Charles Hamilton, whom Bun said could all be capable of great things, so long as they learn not to believe the hype and take charge of their careers.“The reality is, these magazines and media outlets have to sit back and designate something and bring people’s attention towards something, so being labeled ‘the next big thing’ or winning best new artist, you know, you’ve gotta be careful,” he said. “Because once you take somebody who’s probably humble within themselves and be like, ‘You know what, you’re the next big thing,’ sometimes that alters their perception of themselves, their perception of the direction they need to go down, or even hinder their path. Or sometimes it propels it. This whole game is a Catch-22, man. read the rest @ MTVNews.com

No, but I’m still bummed over “The Commission” and “C.R.S.” isn’t helping either.

Also charles hamilton and cudi are the next big thing
Especially sonic the hamilton i mean ch- AR
March 25th, 2009 at 11:53 pm
Well hopefully Qtip & Common still end up dropping an album.
Beat-wise, they need to stay away from Pharrel. The last Common lp
was pretty lame, IMO. ..because of the beats.
March 25th, 2009 at 11:56 pm
that slaughterhouse ‘move on’ joint was official… dudes need to put out a mixtape or suttin
March 25th, 2009 at 11:57 pm

why do people insist on saying things like this.. let the music speak for itself..
March 26th, 2009 at 12:08 am
^Listening to Matt Taibbi will get you no where, he’s only poppin’ during hard times, he feeds of that…Now’s the time to get certain stocks for the low, but listening to that guy will leave you paranoid and broke.
^^
I mean, fact is facts tho, DMarv… and them paranoid cats be comin out with straight facts…
advice is something different. there are very few “experts” and “pundits” whose advice i take seriously
March 26th, 2009 at 12:09 am
they need to stay away from Pharrel

yeah, that nigga been increasingly more “miss” than “hit” lately

March 26th, 2009 at 12:39 am
LF: a friend of mine went to high school with C. Hamilton. she was saying dude had mad problems and would skip class to go play piano; and he was mad humble. i told her i think he’s garbage and has an unearned air of arrogance about him. we both had a big laugh.
March 26th, 2009 at 12:39 am
Pharrell was never hit. The nigga could just write the fuck out of an RnB song. Charles Hugo is really that nigga. P can make beats but it’s not the same if he and chad aren’t working together.
March 26th, 2009 at 12:45 am
That’s why they call themselves the neptunes and not Pharrell and the neptunes.
March 26th, 2009 at 1:01 am
who wouldve thunk all them years ago that Gucci would go from havin that wack ass so icey song, a murda case, a hit on him by Jeezy and all the Crips in ATL…
to bein the hottest bamma nigga on the streets?
what a difference a couple of mixtapes can make…

^^^Actually, i kinda enjoy the nah comments but i do get where your coming from (minus the unnecessary profanity). Sometimes you guys do drift off topic sooooooo much its like wtf??

imma look for the link but i remember an interview where the neptune said pharrell and chad had alot of shared resonsiblities on the beatz even though pharrell was in the light alot chad was a big part two. Dnt qoute me but they were like pharrell usually comes up with the chords and drums alot and chad sequence the track seeing how he was the band conductor (and i cant stress how important sequencing music is) Its just like me and my partner on the track even though i come up alot the music jus p sequence the music its like he has a special knack for it (and i must amitt i kinda suck at). but for sum reason i just come with the melodies its just playing our role
March 26th, 2009 at 8:12 am

sizzle. “Nightmares” is a classic
and that was mostly P. P’s shit is way more minimalist and synthd out…my guess is Chad brings more conventional musicality, melodies into the mix
March 26th, 2009 at 9:02 am
first clispe album was heavy stuff

*gets my combat jack on*
just being around the neptunes for the brief time I was I could see the importance both chad and p played. pharrell could just start with a simple melody phrase and chad would just take off with it and start putting the song together. p might try adding something else. the energy would be so fucking live. The joints p would make alone (You Don’t Gotta Call, Miami Vice) would knock but you can tell a lot is lost in his composition. Plus p doesn’t use effects on his sounds, it’s just the raw sound from whatever module he’s using. Joints they make together just sound a lot better to me overall.
Chad has some amazing solo production credits with Kenna and Ashlee Simpson (i know)
