[edit] picture

rather unfortunate that Shae has the word 'ape' on him in the lead picture? lol.. if anyone can find another? Bungalowbill 15:46, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Well, it's a BAPE shirt, which stands for "A Bathing Ape."

[edit] genre

despite clearly coming from a hip hop (production) background. i dont hear any hip hop.. and soulful.. well u have that linked to soul music and it has no soul music link whatsoever.. (theres no rapping either to the fool who labelled them as a rap group..). Funk rock is the closest i could define them as.. and i think thats the most correct..

[edit] Spymob

Spymob are not a funk band or a funk-rock nor is their own music particularly funky. They were employed as merely a studio band for this album but all the music they've released under their own name is clearly power pop. Listen to the Neptunes-produced song of theirs "Half-Steering..." off of The Neptunes Present... Clones for a blatant example of this.--Lairor 08:38, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Quote

What does N*E*R*D stand for? N*E*R*D stands for No-one Ever Really Dies. The Neptunes are who we are and N*E*R*D is what we do. It's our life. N*E*R*D is just a basic belief, man. People's energies are made of their souls. When you die, that energy may disperse but it isn't destroyed.

Scientology, anyone?

no, just mumbo-jumbo. and pharrell being 'deep'.

[edit] discography

I deleted the two adds in the discography section. There is no source the upcoming album will be called Shae's Here Finally and Where'd Chad Go? is completely new to me. I did a Google search, and I didn't find anything. Either this was just a rumor, or someone tried to be funny. --Soetermans 19:15, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

• Shae's Here Finally (2007)
• Where'd Chad Go? (2005)

Someone keeps putting up "The Evening Honey" feat. Biz markie, which does not exist —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.196.209.100 (talk) 22:48, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Neutral point of view

The article as written sounds more like a promotional brochure for the band than it does an encyclopedic article. Alan 15:54, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:N*erd.jpg

Image:N*erd.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:04, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
