So, rapper Twista held the Guiness World Record for being the fastest rapper in 1992, but he never quite impressed me. I didn't even know he was still recording, but apparently he has an album, "Mobstability II: Nation Business, dropping this year. But I heard the first single "Give it up" (featuring Pharrell) and I might have to eat my words. OK, I'm a little late (it was released last summer) but damn, it's so catchy that it deserves a mention.
Pharrell not only sings the hook but also produced it, so naturally it's tasty ear-candy. But beyond that, it features an arrangement of percussions ranging from bongos to cowbells (I repeat, cowbells! "Gotta have more cowbell!"), creating a instant dance hit (even though it only peaked at 88 on the Billboard charts).
Still, the video is worth watching, too.
I'll even forgive its blatant objectification of woman as yummy food because Pharrell gets a lot of camera time, and I don't mind objectifying him.
