What do you guys think of this? I was just about to start a Neptunes appreciation thread too and then i heard this, they're truly amazing. I really like this, whats the feeling over here?

Someone (Byron Crawford, IIRC) tweeted yesterday about how Blue Ivy being one day old and having a record out is obviously an Illuminati conspiracy.

Where is the Board's Latin expert when we need one?
Might be too personal for folks to be using it as their "we're having a baby!" anthem.
I can do without the baby sounds.
I don't get why he keeps saying sorry after glory though...am I hearing it right?
A friend of mine was breaking this news to me. She's into that Jay is in a secret society shit.

Its not a bad song actually but i still think its corny.
TMZ Rap
Pssshhh...Iike it's the first time a musician or artist paid tribute to their child.
I like the song. It's touching. Anything anybody ever says to or about their child can come off as corny to some. Goo goo ga ga.
(insert rhetorical Batmon question here)
I've heard that rumor too, but in this day and age of TMZ RAP ;-) don't you think it would have been exposed by now?
It's not my favorite track by any stretch, but it's a very touching song. I won't waste my breath trying to explain to non-parents why this is such a sweet song, and parents won't need it explained.
I feel like he's appologizing for going on and on about her birth and how happy it makes him.............it's one of my favorite parts of the song, very human moment.
Thank you for this.
In a way it feels like a follow up/companion piece to his verse on New Day. Never would have guessed it was a Pharrell production.
pfffft
piss the fuck off
That hospital officials will bend over backward in catering to deep-pocketed guests, going so far as to bring in extra guards and tape over security cameras so privacy will not be disturbed.
And that other parents would be made to feel like second-class citizens on what should have been their own happy occasions.
Bronx dad Edgar Ramirez reported that security personnel blocked him from seeing his newborn daughter for an appalling three hours. ???The security was just ridiculous,??? he told the Daily News. ???I felt like I was in a prison.???
Neil Coulon of Brooklyn said he faced a 20minute wait to visit his twin daughters in neonatal intensive care. At one point, his wife, Rozz Nash-Coulon, said she was told the floor was on ???lockdown,??? and if she left the unit, she couldn???t return.
This is no way for a hospital to treat any parents, no matter how ordinary their income or unknown their names. Especially when the hospital gets taxpayer funds fromMedicare and Medicaid.
Lenox Hill Executive Director Frank Danza said he???s investigating but so far all but one of the parents he has talked to had no major complaints.
He confirmed the hospital happened to renovate its ???executive suites??? just before Blue???s arrival ??? but called this a coincidence and denied her parents gave $1.3 million to finance the face-lift.
He also confirmed the hospital beefed up security for Jay-Z and Beyonc??, as it does for many ???high-profile??? patients ??? but said he was unaware of anyone being held up more than a minute or so.
But why should new mothers or fathers be held up even for a second? So deeper-pocketed parents won???t have to mix with the hoi polloi?
The state Health Department should get to the bottom of whether people were detained for anything close to 20 minutes, let alone three hours ??? because that would be seriously wrong.
Surely, Jay-Z and Beyonc?? never intended to inconvenience anyone in celebrating a blessed event. But the hospital failed to deliver.

THANX FOR THIS^^^^
I'm biased though - I'm generally a sucker for earnest "new baby" records (Stevie obv, also see here: ), plus my wife and I just had our own first child...
(F*ck a poo-poo photo on FB; this is my new profile pic)
I like the beat... and it's surprising that Phorreal made it. Not sure if it's brilliant or anything...but it's nice.
Back in 1995 or 1996 Jay-Z guested on the radio show I was doing and he came through with one or two guys and a little boy who looked to be about two. I always assumed the child was his. I've seen a lot of rapper entourages, but I'd never seen one with a kid before.
As far as baby songs go, I always liked this:
You probably think I'm joking when I say this, but I don't get it. Seriously.

Rumors have been circulating since Beyonce gave birth to Blue Ivy on Saturday night that the couple are shopping the first images of the newborn around to magazines for a multi-million dollar payday.
The couple reportedly left New York???s Lenox Hill hospital with baby Blue Ivy in the early hours of Wednesday morni
