There's Hope For You Yet...

this is a joint i caught that features Pharrell and Timbaland in their group from high school with the baw Magoo. their group was called 'Surrounded By Idiots' and this is what they sounded like before they developed their own style. its an interesting listen. just for the fact you can hear them strait takin styles from other places and eventually developing styles that others emulate now. i guess Picasso is right... "good artists borrow. great artists steal." check it out...
