Man, honestly, Pharrell and Kanye are the most talented guys from hip hop....they can produce, sing and rap and they been doing this in a high level for 20 YEARS They really CHANGED the sound of hip hop and music in general, making hits for every artist from every fucking genre...35 grammys together (Kanye 21 and P 14) true GOATS
I cant stop watching these podcasts. Who knew such a interesting interviewing subject would be this good of an interviewer. Ok Rick. I see you. The GOAT
This was amazing to listen to … His work at the time of N.E.R.D. is incredibly underrated but someone really needs to play P “My Drive Thru “….his work with Santa Gold was very good ..I enjoyed it more than most of his other collaborations ..I wish he could’ve remembered it … as much as it’s a worry the “album” as a format is coming back it just needs a leveled up medium..
In 2019, Pharrell was highlighted at the Essence Festival. It was LIT! He came onstage as they played his hits. There were too many to count and all were bangers.
I know for rights issues they didn't play the songs, so I stopped and sought out each song and listened to it then came back. It was great because I felt like I was right there with the two of them in a way that just having them played in the video didn't.
There’s something cold and very limited about Americans really inherent to a culture that’s so young and closed on itself. Those limitations allows space for insane focus in professional achievements but little room for real human complexity, intelligence and depth. Pharrell like few other really great cultural figures from the US like Madonna are aware of that void and gravitate towards European and other cultures as they get older consequently, making them stand out from other American artists.

he godfathered it. the blame is not off him completely. You will probably never meet a bigger N.E.R.D. fan but the fact is he did hits with everyone. Meaning he was a big part of all the music you here today. The Clipse were the 1st true drug rappers. Nothing but coke bars lmao. And Pharrell ushered that sound in. Mix that with Kid Cudi and you have...tadaa...todays sound.
All of it changed and progressed. You didn’t. This not hate. Some people don’t like change. Some do. Some blame and some are honest with them selfs. I do not like rock or country currently. But that’s me not liking it. Not the music being shit. That’s on me not the music. This is speaking from a producer, song writer, missing and recording engineer. I used to be like you. Since I worked on my frame of mind I’m a lot happier and understanding of things. God bless.
Thanks for posting! If you have a second, I tried my hand at a cover of Marvin Gaye. As a fellow music lover, I'd love if you'd take a listen. It's on my channel. Hope you enjoy!
