![]() ![]() Remi's talk about the tangles of creative partnership coincided with the recent Instagram Live Verzuz battle between producers Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds and Teddy Riley. To be our best, some of us need to dared. Same for when Remi challenges Winehouse to rise to the honor of a beat he created for Nas. To, as Snoop quotes Pharrell, " put that in the vein." About how Snoop must have felt seen, and understood. I think about vulnerability and how Pharrell convinces Snoop Dogg, when Snoop was going through a musical reinvention, to rap from the stance of a mature man deeply in love with his wife, Shante Broadus. That thought brings me to the randomness of timing and how both Remi and Nas lost their mothers in flanking years. I think of Remi as diplomat and counselor in the way successful producers must be - or else have middling songs and short careers.
