N*E*R*D is an alternative rock/funk/rap group which formed in Virginia Beach, Virginia, United States in 2001. The group consists of lead singer Pharrell Williams (vocals, keys, guitar), Chad Hugo (guitar, bass) and Shay Haley (drums).
Williams and Hugo are also known as the Grammy-winning production duo The Neptunes.
N*E*R*D's sound is a blend of rock, hip-hop, and R&B. N*E*R*D stands for "No-one Ever Really Dies".

N*E*R*D's sound is a blend of rock, hip-hop, and R&B. N*E*R*D stands for "No-one Ever Really Dies".
Williams and Hugo originally recorded the band's debut album, In Search Of..., for European release in 2001 using similar digital production techniques used on Neptunes-produced records. However, they decided that if N*E*R*D was to be different from The Neptunes, it should sound different. This led to them re-recording the album (still titled In Search Of...) with the power pop band Spymob for worldwide release in 2002.
In Search Of... achieved moderate success in the United States.: the album reached number 59 on the Billboard 200; its first single, Lapdance, reached the top 40 on the rap charts; and its second single, Rock Star, reached the top 40 of the modern rock charts in the US and is still incredibly popular today. "Lapdance" also went top 40 in the Netherlands and its music video received heavy airplay on American MTV2. The album was well-received by critics even though it was not as successful as many of the Neptunes' productions for other artists.
The album won the second annual Shortlist Music Prize, awarded (by a group of musicians, journalists, and other music professionals) for Best Album that had sold less than 500,000 copies at the time of nomination. The band performed at the show, bragging that the week prior to the ceremony, the album had, in fact, achieved gold status by selling over 500,000 units.
Fly or Die
The band recorded their second album Fly or Die during 2003. The band actually learned to play the tunes live, as Chad Hugo told MTV News on December 9, 2003: "We're the ones playing the instruments live this time. "I just started playing guitar last year so I'm learning as we go. Pharrell's playing drums. [Last time] we didn't have time to learn certain instruments so we got Spymob to help us out."
The band also recruited some assistance to record the album with Lenny Kravitz playing on the track Maybe (which has been featured in ads for XM Satellite Radio) and Joel Madden and Benji Madden of Good Charlotte playing on the track Jump. Several of the tracks discuss issues of particular concern to adolescents, for example Thrasher, which is about bullies; Drill Sergeant, about rebellion; and Backseat Love, which talks about first love.
Fly or Die went on sale on March 22, 2004. The album went top 10 in the USA, while the lead-off single, She Wants to Move, went top 5 in the UK, top 20 in Norway, Ireland, and Denmark, and top 30 in Australia and top 40 in the USA and the Netherlands. The music videos for "She Wants To Move" and its followup single, "Maybe", received strong support from music video stations globally.
In 2005, N.E.R.D ended their contract with Virgin Records. After becoming "hooked" on the energy from their fans, the band began recording their third studio album, spending their own money. Williams and Hugo later established Star Trak Entertainment, a subsidiary of Interscope Records.
Seeing Sounds
The third album from N*E*R*D is called Seeing Sounds. The album's title, as well as its content, revolves around the neurological phenomenon of synesthesia, the mixing of sensory modalities. After touring in promotion of their previous album, Fly or Die, N.E.R.D felt that album was too consistent. For their following album, they wanted to create the atmosphere of hyperactivity they knew their fans wanted.
The album debuted at number seven on the Billboard 200, selling 80,000 in its first week. It received mixed reviews, with critics lauding the production of the album. Some writers called the record N.E.R.D's best album to date, while others criticized Williams' singing and the album's content.
The album was released on June 10, 2008. The first single off the album, titled "Everyone Nose (All the Girls Standing in the Line for the Bathroom)" featured a video with fans as well as stars like Lindsay Lohan and Kanye West. In June 2008, the second single off the album, titled "Spaz", was used in a TV commercial for the Microsoft Zune. The third single "Sooner or Later" featured a video dedicated to America's economic crisis.

N*E*R*D Lyrics
Shake it up
Shake it up girl
Shake it up, bass
Hey
Shake it up
Shake it up
She makes me think of lightning in skies
(Her name) She's sexy
How else is God supposed to write
(Her name) She's sexy
Move, she wants to move
But you're hogging her, you're guarding her
She wants to move (she wants to move)
She wants to move (she wants to move)
But you're hogging her, you're guarding her (damn)
Mister
Look at your girl, she loves it (Look at her)
I can see it in her eyes
She (come here babe) hopes this lasts forever
Hey (uh, uh, uh)
Her off beat dance makes me fantasize
(Her curves) She's sexy
Her ass is a spaceship I want to ride
(Her ass) She's sexy
Move, she wants to move
But you're hogging her, and guarding her
She wants to move (To move)
She wants to move (oh, no move)
But you're hogging her, you're guarding her
(Beat it)
Mister
Look at your girl, she loves it (I know you love it girl)
I can see it in her eyes, she
Hopes this lasts forever (hey)
Hey
Yeah, this is your part girl
Uh, this is your part girl
(Move, she wants to move) c'mon
Oww, (Move, she wants to move) ehh
Man (and move, she wants to move)

But you're hogging her, you're guarding her
Beat it
Mister
Look at your girl (damn) she loves it (shake it up)
I can see it in her eyes, she
Hopes this lasts forever
Hey, c'mon
Mister
Look at your girl (look at your girl) she loves it (she wants me)
I can see it in her eyes, she (huh)
Hopes this lasts forever, hey
Somebody get us some water in here!
'Cause it's hot
(Yo why you, why you, why you wit' that fool?)
It's hot y'all, hey
Ha, ha, ha, ha-ha, ha
Ugh

This has an unusual structure for a dance/rap song, its almost a rhumba and you can fox trot to it. I love it, its edgy, primeval, rhythmic and danceable at the same time. Im more of an electronic music fan, or fly 80s and 90s rap like Beasties and De La Soul, but this song god its good.
OMman10
This song take inspiration in Flamenco mixed with element of Rock, Pop and others latin style
bing chilling
It’s not rap at all 🤦🏽♂️

I love all the enemies of fun in the comments. All leading in the industry of sucking the joy out of anything anyone takes pleasure in…. you need a hug and a punch in the face.
Jon Artan
Whys everyone want to put shit in boxes all the time
Emma Asante
Would say it’s more salsa or samba type of dance to go to with the music

Unreleased/Underrated R&B Grooves
I literally have not seen this in the past 16 years since it was released in 2004, and boy does it bring back lots of memories! I remember this got non-stop rotation on Channel V overseas in early '04. What a time to be a youngin' and get all this crazy good content. Pharrell & Missy Elliott were truly runnin' things in the American nation and international regions with their addictive hits.

After graduating from high school, for senior week, I was the only person who thought to bring not only music, but also SPEAKERS. This was our unofficial theme song. Dancing on tables in our living room at the resort, the first time I drank--such good times.
