Pharrell Williams is a virtual magician when it comes to crafting cold beats and hard choruses.

People often complain about deterioration of lyrical content, and how real lyricists no longer exist.

I don’t blame them after listening to endless songs that degrade women, celebrate weed and glorify the bling-bling. “The Neptunes Present … Clones” crashes straight into this jumble of musical cliches and somehow comes out unscathed.

“The Neptunes Present … Clones” is fun. I listened to it about 50 times and danced to it about 60. It’s filled with soon-to-be club hits and cruisin’ sounds.

If you’re driving anything on dubs, bumping the Neptunes’ latest with a trunk full of subs, either one of two things will happen:

1. People will run out of their houses screaming and dancing around your car like it’s the ice cream truck or . . .

2. People will scream “Turn down that racket,” while simultaneously dialing the local police department.

Here’s the bottom line: You’ll like it or you won’t.

It’s worth $15. In fact, Pharrell’s boyish good looks on the cover are alone worth the price of the CD.

Busta Rhymes, Jay-Z, Clipse, Ludacris, Snoop Dogg, N.O.R.E. and Nelly are among 20 lyricists who spit rhymes over this collage of rap, reggae and rock fusion.

The following chorus to N.E.R.D.’s “Loser” should be the anthem for the CD:

“We will not be the losers/ We won’t leave ’til our job is done/ We will not be the losers/ Sorry but we’re not the one.”

The Neptunes are definitely not losers after releasing an LP this on-point.
