This song helps me remember how many N's are in banana. It's educational.

Pharrell is super interesting, I could listen to him talk about music for hours. His love for it is contagious.

NERD and the Neptunes are great man. I really like his older work, I feel he was at his prime. Songs like Spaz and Everybody Nose will always be classics to me. He truly is a dope producer.

I just don’t like how far Rick Rubin has his hand up his and every other artists ass.

Yeah the old stuff seems like original rock and roll music, it’s so soulful. I like the beats like in Everybody Nose and in Snoop Dogg’s Drop it like it’s hot that are kind of stripped down, but it’s still got this depth to it.

And you’re right, he has this eagle eye for artists that lets him single out what is unique about their sound and amplifies it. He does have his own sound, but he still has the restraint to know that his sound doesn’t work on everyone.

It really is! This was the song that made me discover him back in the day, and it's far from his best despite being a great song imo.

And Rick Rubin just creeps me out. He works with literally every musical artist in the industry, and says he's into "the esoteric", and he sees his job as seeing "the esoteric" in each artist he works with, and bringing that out. I see him as some kind of creepy wizard lol.

Exactly, Rick Rubin comes off as very self aggrandizing

Idc if Gwen is part of the spirit cooking crew, her and Pharrell killed this song and I will always stand by that. It hurts my heart knowing Gwen’s heart isn’t pure 💔

Also this song was a diss song aimed @ Courtney Love when she was talking shit about Gwen when she was attention seeking hard in the media a few years after Kurt’s (rip) passing and after Gwen left No Doubt, cool bit of info. The thought behind this song was Gwen would use Courtney’s attempt at starting a situation through the media as a concept for a single, without mentioning or giving Courtney the attention she wanted. But both would know what the song meant; it was a response, just not through talk shows or interviews. That’s why there’s a lot of “shh”ing and emulating “someone” doing lines mockingly if you pay attention.

And the shit that’s bananas is the unnecessary drama that came from no where along with Love’s antics.

Yup! It was around this time, when Courtney was doing her thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlLmPOoysts

She was so messed up all the time, she'd talk shit about someone one day and act like they were good friends the next time she saw them. She was sooooo desperate for media attention. "She was a celebrity"
