A lot has happened since 1999.  And I’m not just talking about stapling my pants cuffs together or giant tubs of gel from WalMart.  It has been, in fact, a good decade since the mighty Afroasiatic living legendness known as The Neptunes burst into the scene with their unique sounds such as “vwooo vwwooo” and “joip joip” and let us not forget “cvkrt purgjkqwzxb.”  Ahhhh, the onomatopoeic memories.

Okay, the true music nerds (no pun intended) at this point will note that it has in fact been actually FIFTEEN years since the very first Neptunes beats hit the radio, but the fact that these guys have music older than Miley Cyrus is truly a testament to how long they’ve soundtracked our lives.

In light of all this, the nice people at Blind I have been gracious enough to present the internets with Decemvir: A Decade of Rare Gems and Unrelease Material, with 2-discs worth of the hottest Chad & Pharrell shit you’ve never heard!  I certainly hope there’s more “yawmp yawmp” than “jvoo jvoo,” but I’ll be all right as long as it doesn’t contain any of the cuts with “opwoe opwoe” I’ll be all right.  As they say…indulge!
