Video Notes: How Pharrell Built His Music Empire (Genius Strategy)
Pharrell is one of the smartest producers out there today. Pharrell production has won him multiple Grammy Awards and multiple chart topping songs.
In this Pharrell Production breakdown we will look at how Pharrell produces his tracks and how he makes his unique production.
Pharrell has been one of the biggest names in the music industry for the past twenty years, but how has he done it?
In my opinion he has used four main steps to achieve this.
First, he really cares for the collaborating. Especially when he collaborates with his life long friend Chad Hugo. When he produces with other artists, he knows how to get the best out of them. Collaboration is a difficult skill to master but Pharrell certainly has.
Secondly, he uses unique sounds and production techniques in his music. This instantly creates a reaction in the listener as the sound will be like nothing they have heard before. Pharrell and Chad's sound has been sought after for many years.
Thirdly, Pharrell loves working hard. He would be doing it even if it wasn't his main source of income. This passion allows him to work day and night, even on tour. Allowing his abilities to be ever improving.
Lastly, Pharrell always perseveres. He had 9 song attempts rejected for Dispicable Me 2, before his tenth submission was accepted. We will all fail, but we must learn from it and not let it deter us! Pharrell has certainly mastered this.
I'm Hugh, or 93 Acres and I hope you enjoy this video!

#Pharrell #TheNeptunes #ChadHugo - Навчання та стиль
What's your favourite Pharrell track? 🧐
That Girl and Havana have the best beats for me
Frontin
You Know What 👍
I Still Love You
the way she dances and the rest of fly or die is the best thing ive ever listened to
He needs to be credited for creating the sound of the 2000’s and credited for creating the aesthetic of the 2010’s
Apparently, there was one year in the 2000s when 40% of the billboard top 40 was produced by the Neptunes
@@Evan-ko6eb yepp it was actually higher than that in 2002’
I disagree with both those things. for one, being onto something early (like bape) doesn't mean you created the style. he had a hand in the 2000s but not nearly as much as scott storch, timbaland, or manny fresh.
as for the 2010s fashion & whatnot almost all those people dress that way because of Lil Wayne whether they know it or not.
@@darkskinwhite As far as the Wayne stuff i gotta correct you a bit brotha! You're missin' like 2 or 3 elements PRE Wayne. Jim Jones--yes JIM JONES started rockin those Italian brands, put them with the checkered scarves that the habibis had in the corner stores, and combined them wit the skull belts, and accessories that Stack Bundles and bird gang wore. Then, if you recall, Wayne hung wit dipset for a half a second and the rest is history. It probably seemed like he started the wave. But it's all about the person on the biggest platform
@@jonathanland5073 I agree with what you just said, Wayne wasnt the first but hes the reason all the kids started wearing it, that's what i meant.
Just started the video but I'm 1,000% happy step #1 talks about Collaboration and Chad. There's no Neptunes-era without Chad.
The more I researched the more I wanted to make another video about how amazing Chad is. Unbelievable talent
The signiture synth that the neptunes used in their beats is in the tribe called quest " bonitta applebomb" n they also have influnces from James brown, for example the beat for shake ya ass is James brown. They also have a huge early 80s prince influnce on their beats. Like for example.. Kelis milkshake is nasty girl by vanity 6 which was wrote by Prince.
This is some great stuff Okaydee!
@@93Acres yea im a big Pharrell / neptunes fan n a fan of prince . like u can clearly hear the prince influence on the neptunes or pharrells solo work / production
Yeah... u can kinda hear a loose connection in arrangement between Nasty Girl and Milkshake.
I always thought that the 'Nasty Girl' link was more prominent in Britneys 'Slave 4 U' tho.
Pharrell's mentality to adapting to the new generation all the time got us Neon Guts by Uzi and Alright by Kendrick in the 2010s.
Self improvement is always the goal!
Pharrell is a 10/10 producer. Always fun and interesting
Totally agree with this Burton!
This guy never gets old
So true
Literally both biologically and artisticly
analysis was amazing. I appreciate how deep you dove in and how well put together this if for one of my favorite producers. You just earned a sub. Blessings on your journey.
Delighted you enjoyed the video Josiah! Pharrell definitely deserves all the time & research 😄
I love The Neptunes as songwriters and producers Pharrell Williams Chad Hugo 🎶💯🔥
Cannot agree more! Absolute genius 🔥
He played the drums with a broken arm? That is dedication! 👏🏼😃 💯
He really is next level!
@@93Acres I totally agree!
Great job dude love seeing these breakdown analysis keep it up
Thanks a mil Benjiman! I got to say I'm really enjoying making them as well 😄
Great video.
Love this, i think this kind of video is what youtube needs, this is one of the kind video.
i always want this type of content, but people only covers about the gossip instead of their works.
we need deep dive of the artists background, and how they became who they are, how they work, their workflow, etc,
too bad, the view count is low, but i think if you keep pushing this type of content,
you could become mainstream youtuber like roomie official
Thank you Jensen! Roomie is a UA-cam Legend. Just here to help out as many aspiring musicians as possible 🙌
Loved this video man ...great stuff.
It gave me more confidence as an artist to embrace my differences and rareness as Pharrell says...
That's great to hear Dedas, it's our uniqueness that helps us stand out! Best of luck with your music making 🙌
This was great, would love a part 2!!
That sounds like a good idea Benedict 😄
He literally became the number 1 or 2 producer of the late 90s and 2000s he literally created a whole style that every producer tried to duplicate he's a genius along with Chad who doesn't get the credit he deserves but as the Neptune's they are one of the greatest production teams to ever exist in music and definitely deserve many more flowers and Grammys
this is great! I love it so much thank you
Delighted to hear that Kate! Thank you 🙌
Great video bro. I learned a lot.
So great to hear, thanks Lesedi!
This is a great summary! Valuable for your audience too
Education is everything!
Dope analysis!
Thank you Tyshaia!
super video man!
Thank you Kojak!
Wow I didn’t know I needed this! Thank you! I’m a big fan of The Neptunes and they are the reason I wanted to do more than singing✨💕
Thank YOU Shoshanna!!
Greatest versatile producers/songwriters ever Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo Known as #TheNeptunes🎶🎵💯🔥🙌🏿Till this day especially working with different artists from Pop Rock R&B Soul and definitely on Hip Hop Rap Music 🎶🎵💯🙌🏿🔥
Yes Stevie absolutely! They're some of the talented & hardest working producers out there for sure. To be at the top of the game for over 20 years is unbelievable 🙌
Really good video!
Thank you Caesár!
Thanks for this this was very inspiring 🏆
Delighted to hear that Poston!

Great pieces of work for sure!
Crazy
Pharrell is unreal
9:18 is pure dedication 😳
One of the best interviewers in the business!
Real geniuses.
Chad is a true Chad!
The OG Chad!
Did Pharrell produce vibrant thing for Qtip? That song was dope bac in the day
Need to dive deep on his film scores too!
Great idea this!
Frontin for sure
Such a great tune that
🔥🔥
🙌🙌
DUDE WTF I WAS JUST STARTING TO LISTENING THE PHARRELL DISCOGRAPHY TODAY AND SEARCHING HIS PRODUCE TECHNICS JUST TO DISCOVER THAT THE NEPTUNES IN THE DEADMAU5 TRACK RELEASED LAST YEAR I WAS SOOOO ADDICTED TOO IS THE PHARRELL NEPTUNES, I'LL NEVER GUESS, OMG
Haha he's a very talented human 😄 That's class, all your favourite musicians working together!!
Wow, amazing analysis! How old are you?
Thank you Aditya! I'm 28, with the case of the baby face 😄

Chad Hugo was the one that did most of the work
Actually who cares 😂 the made half the video about him and you think they don't respect his influence , and from what every one said in the video he did not necessarily do most of the work , he did was was important to the songs and pharrell has never denied that , your statement does sound like you want to bilittle the legacy or maybe am over reaching
That's just not true
@@tiktokfuncompilations1413 lol guess u where in his studio to know this huh ?
@@GILLISH Well no but there's credits on some of the songs, and its credited what pharrell would do, also, chad stepped away from the neptunes a little bit and P did a lot of the beats so there's that haha
@@tiktokfuncompilations1413 Credits? you might want to educate yourself on the music Bizz there could be 7 people in the room getting credit. that means nothing seeing that there are ghost writers also. he walked away 4 a reason
Producer of the decade is an understatement. Almost disrespectful lol.
He's a generational talent no doubt!
hey man do you where I can be teached on Logic pro x? Im struggling doing things that should be simple like syncing samples and shit :( Im almost giving up tbh
Hey Purple Heart, sorry I missed your comment it got caught in the 'held for review' section. Don't give up, I believe in you! 🙌 If you're willing to go to the lengths of watching UA-cam production tutorials I know you have got the drive in you to improve! I'm setting up tutorials through my patreon atm ( www.patreon.com/93Acres ), but there are so many ways to learn for free too, so don't rush into anything! Take your time and focus on one challenge at a time, like lining up samples for drums. Take on a new challenge each week. Spent at least 20 minutes each day of focused (put your phone in your bag) learning on that particular subject. You'll be amazed at how quickly you can improve. You can do it!!! 💜
WHATS THE SONG IN THE BACKGROUND, DURING DISTROKID TIMESTAMP, PLSSSSSSS
That’s actually one of my own tracks!
some of us have thought of the ideas but unable but only beaten by industry producers
If we keep putting in the work our chances will only get better!
I wanted ask you smh how do you know that what you've wrote and produced is ready to release? Tysm for this analysis 😄
You are most welcome Vraajawat! Great question, but a tricky one to answer 😄 My simple answer is when you feel comfortable (or preferably excited) showing it to people. It is a tricky one no doubt, as we nearly always want to make more changes. But if you make the music you want to hear, that will help you locate the finish line 🙌
@@93Acres ahh thanks mate, but I'm a perfectionist and I hate and I sleep on tracks for months
I think most people struggle with this! It's important to learn when to step away, or you'll end up spending a year on a track and that won't do you any good 😄
need to update the thumbnail and add chad
The more Chad the better 😄
3:22
Teddy Riley 🙌
Justin Timberlake was exaggerating. That look Pharell gave him calls it.
Hard to know for sure! Never let the truth get in the way of a good story he might be thinking 😄
You left out the most important factor behind his success. He was personally mentored by Teddy Riley - one of the biggest producers in music history.
Teddy mentored Pharrell ever since he was in high school and gave him access to all his industry connections.
If you dig deep, behind anyone who “made it” in entertainment is either: Family connections, money, or both.
For example, Akon became a multi millionaire by selling stolen luxury cars and used to money to buy his way into the music biz.
Irv Gotti became a multimillionaire in the construction industry and used his money to buy his way into the biz as well (that’s how he funded Murder Inc, signed Ja Rule and paid for all the marketing, promo, and production to make those songs blow up.)
Scott Storch was personally mentored by Dr Dre for many years.
Etc…
I did include Teddy there briefly! Hard to fit everything into a short video 😄
@@93Acres my mistake for not noticed that.
So no one is talking about how young he still looks..
Skin care routine 😄
🤗
do one on how tyler the creator was influenced by him
Great suggestion Maxten! Tyler is definitely worth a whole video himself
@@93Acres theres a playlist of comparisons with direct song references i made on my channel for research purposes if u like. theres a short and a long version. not to plug!! i just think someone needs to make that vid and im lazy and busy lol
The Neptunes the GOAT
They're so good
Chad was the world's first chad
The OG Chad
The short and actual realistic answer: He sold his soul
How so NS?!
Can you please do charlie puth next
That is a great idea Aditya! Will hopefully make a video on him later on in the month 🙌
@@93Acres thanks a lot mate
Thank you for the suggestion!
he is without a doubt my music goat
So many music creation skills we can learn from him for sure!
CHAD ?
We love Chad
Straight from the bottom just net working
Always networking!
What about KANYE?
Already started making a video on Kanye! Hugely talented musician no doubt about that
Thank you and God bless you and all of us in Jesus Christ’s King of all kings blood that was shed and name we declare and we pray amen 😊!
You're very welcome!
Ye better!😆
Yes Syed!
Pharrell W Williams W???????
He only gets W's
tbh producer of the decade was a bit too far. he's a GREAT artist, but he's definitely behind Max Martin and Kanye at "Producer of the decade".
Definitely worth a debate! I’m a big fan of all three musicians so I won’t argue with that 😄
Juist a heads up - Distrokid is one of the worst publishers out there. They have no AR.. no help center, no nothing.
Sometimes they respond on twitter, but I can't make them respond to any of my tweets in the past year regarding me running a youtube channel that is also used for promoting my music. So what I get is copyright strikes from my own publisher because I can't whitelist a whole channel... The only way to deal with that is to whitelist each video once I release it. Which can take up to 4 days to process, which is basically the lifespan of those kind of videos (talking head with one of my songs in the background).
So if you're promoting them, and if you have any contact with them, you should talk to them about this. I'm not the only one that has this issue.
Hey GE, will definitely mention this to them next time we're chatting. Totally understand your frustration there.
Just a potential work around that issue, if you make the video prior to release you could upload it to UA-cam as unlisted and get it cleared of the copyright strike before making the video public?
Also to clarify I've only had super experiences with DistroKid personally. I would never promote any brand or product that I didn't find amazing myself.
@@93Acres thank you man, I know about the "workaround" but the issue is that I tend to upload almost on a daily basis.. so I really can't do that.
I have had good experiences with them when I was only releasing music.. made 2 of my youtube channels to be artist channels with ease.. but the stuff that I do right now has both (videos on different topics and my music in the background and foreground) and I wrote them a ton of times on twitter, but I guess they're just ignoring those kinds of tweets.. Without them having any AR, that's the only way of communicating with them, unfortunately
@@GrumpyEyeGaming That makes a lot of sense. Twitter is certainly less than ideal 😅
93 Acres is Officially Elon Musk's son...
I don't know if this is a good or bad thing..
Nicolas Jaar is better tho
Time to research!
Man from the start you are all wrong "Drop it like it's hot" "Milkshake" "Hot in here" "Hollaback" are not Pharrell creation it's from the Neptunes. A producers DUO.
Which means him AND Chad Hugo created those hits. At some point you have to stop wanting to attribute everything to him alone, it's annoying at the end.
Cécé I talk about Chad consistently the whole way through the video! Chad is a legend, we love Chad 💜
video ruim
I don't understand? 😄
I am the biggest fan of him but he is not king of music.
Music is subjective
Just hyperbole Silambu!
Dr. Seuss is oh so wise 🙏
Exactly && he’s a damn scam artist what he did to Kelis is sick asf
