submeat's top 100 tracks of 2003: songs to download and love
#36 "Frontin'," Pharrell featuring Jay-Z (Star Trak)
Funny, innit, that of all the records he appeared on in '03, Pharrell's best is his own? A ridiculously minimalist groove (basically just a click track and a keyb countermelody) is topped by his pitch-perfect falsetto, while Jay-Z gets a very Ron Carter-sounding bassline added in for his verse. But how did Pharrell get "I was gon' tear your ass up" on the radio?!
