@925209 Год назад

I love how Rick Rubin is having Pharell break down step by step his process. Then Rick reflects the parts that stand out. Pharell is basically hearing himself being spoken back at him so he can break down his process further. Rick helps the artist take apart their process to increase their self awareness of their self. He breaks it down with the artist down to a grain of sand just by reflecting them and being curious.

The connection Pharrell has with himself and with the universe is a delight to see. Whenever he speaks of his past you can almost see him holding the thread of his thought and traveling down each channel, each tunnel, arriving at places he was was, re-living the feelings, seeing the views as if the moment is there. It's not a surprise that his creations and the creations he's involved in are able to touch a wide range of people, regardless of their language/experiences/beliefs. What an inspiring brain. I feel very lucky to have been able to experience this conversation, even as just a spectator.

I remember hearing this when it first came out way before I started creating my own music. It almost sounded too spiritual for me to comprehend. As I’ve gotten into producing myself, I’ve only then started to fully understand the state of mind they’re projecting in the discussion. Music hits deeper when you create and then you start to look at it in different abstract ways. The evolution of your art is really something to admire and not take for granted through your journey. Always trust the process.

Rick Rubin is a man that used to rip coke with Slayer and produced some of the best death metal on the planet. His versatility, his knowledge of music to cross so many thresholds is truly a gift.

What Pharrell talks about at the beginning, the way he feels about a chord and try to reproduce that feeling is exactly what I do with image’s moods to design something! And then I try to understand myself through that feeling…. Wow! I never talked about this before to anyone!!! Great! This man is so different and open! Great human being!

@jmfs3497 4 года назад

I was talking to a coworker about how much hip hop affected me when it came out, and he doesn't understand that hip hop was ever underground. He was born in 1998. When I first heard hip hop it was on cassettes that were traded by hand. We often didn't even know who the artists were, we just knew the songs.

@devildee9286 4 года назад

Access to music has increased exponentially. It’s so simple now they can’t imagine . I would hear hip hop in the 70’s in NYC around neighborhoods, but the first time hearing Rappers Delight on the radio was a game changer 😳

@eyezlikeydrums 2 года назад

That's an incredible idea to make a documentary about the whole "Blurred Lines" music ordeal. Not about the song per say but the explanation(s) about feeling vs. actual chords, genres, etc. It could easily breakdown and explain it to many, including musicians who didn't understand or couldn't grasp the concepts and textures of feelings vs. theft. I didn't get it until it was just explained and I'm a musician. I didn't hear it that way (then) but now can 100% see your point and I get it. I totally get it. A documentary like that would enlighten many and clear some ish up! I'm sure it would. Netflix?
