’s interpolation of the track for “First Class,” the Louisville rapper’s first solo No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
“I met Will.i.am at studio in North Hollywood which was like the epicenter of a certain phase of hip-hop,” recalls Fair of the intimate Enterprise studios where “on any given night, you could find Timbaland or Missy Elliot and in some cases even Kanye West – everybody was hanging out there and every single room had some kind of hit banging out of it.”
Already being long-involved with the evolving scene, Fergie joined the Peas after speaking with Iovine, Fair and “Will [who] was a great inspiration to [Fergie]. He’s really part of the vision of that period of time.” Between 2003’s “Elephunk” and 2005’s “Monkey Business,” — Fair, Fergie and Will’s mutually creative understanding of one another became second nature and by the time “The Dutchess” arrived in 2006, Fergie’s prolific solo career had already been years in the making.
“[The interpolation] is really a gigantic co-sign of Fergie and Will.i.am’s continuing relevance in culture,” says Fair. “It was just a great feeling and reaction all the way around. That her work would be embraced by a different generation — that’s great, especially in this very qualitative way.”
