- Pharrell Williams is a Grammy-winning songwriter, producer, and performer. Getting his start in music alongside Chad Hugo as the production duo known as The Neptunes in 1992, Pharrell has produced chart-topping hits for artists including Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, and Snoop Dogg. He has co-composed the music for the Despicable Me film franchise, including hit “Happy,” which became the best-selling song of 2014 and earned Pharrell an Oscar nomination. Pharrell’s collaborations with Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé, and Gwen Stefani, alongside his work as a solo artist and frontman for alternative band N.E.R.D., have solidified his reputation as a creative force in the music industry. With 13 Grammy wins and two Oscar nominations, Pharrell continues to progress the sounds of post-new jack swing, R&B and rap, and pop.
Currently, Pharrell serves as the creative director of Louis Vuitton, and he has recently announced his role as a co-chair for next year’s Met Gala alongside Lewis Hamilton and Anna Wintour.
In October, his animated biopic Piece by Piece, a collaboration with LEGO, premiered alongside its titular song by Pharrell. The film is now available for rent or purchase to enjoy at home. Link here: www.focusfeatu...

me and bro in the middle of moving his couches
Hilarious 😂
😂
lol
Facts lol
No fr lol
The way Pharrell pauses to collect his thoughts… really want to learn from that. He commands attention
The way he recollects his church experience, hes describes it so fresh and heartfelt and excited like hes still that kid in church, it just grabs you
Testament to Rick also. He gives the space.
Hell yeah 👍
Is that hard for people to do??
Pharrell is an insanely eloquent and clear speaker, and Rick did such a great job of asking timely, thought-provoking questions to have Pharrell dive even deeper. This was a great interview. I could listen to them have "casual" conversation for hours
Every day we inch closer to a three stacks interview
We already had one ?
@@unnamed776-m9ha new one
@ yeah four years ago before he released an entire album with adept skill in a different genre ?
⏳
oh! can't wait for 3k to talk about his wack flute album posturing as ambient music when he really lacks the technique to bring us something melodically/harmonically substantial!!
I have diagnosed ADHD and music is the only thing that makes me feel normal. When I got on meds, I realized meds gave me a bit of the feeling that I get when I'm making music. totally engaged, the outside world falls away, and I can keep following the thread all the way to the end.
35:46 my fav part so far.. making by yourself, for yourself. always doing it and never gonna stop.
HELL YESSSS AAAAA IVE REPLAYED THE OLD PHARELL /RICK RUBIN INTERVIEW TOO MANY TIMES
YUHHHHHH!!!!!
Rick Rubins voice is like Mufasa levels of soothing
I am just commenting, because there might be a chance rick Rubin or Pharrell could read my words. I already reached a point where I KNOW my art won't reach any kind of heights of any of these both careers, but I am thankful for their work and thoughts, because I feel as creative I am not alone with certain thoughts. Anyone else stumbling across this, keep on creating, hone your craft and speak from the soul/heart. Your perspective an view on the world matters, at least to you and to the ones around you. One might not get monetarily enough, but you feed the souls of your loved ones.
You're greater than what you see. You don't know anything of where your art could reach, don't tell yourself otherwise especially if its not a choice you wish to make. You control where you go by your decisions and thoughts, be wary of the story you tell yourself.
🙏🏽.
nah man give up the whole industry is a joke. these rich fucks are dangling a carrot in front of you.
@@ExamplesOfMyExistence Thank you for that very self-reflective comment! I appreciate your view on my struggle. Sure I've got a certain view of my artistic as well as personal journey I go through while being creative. I don't know maybe I just want to vent a little bit and vocalize my inner frustrations. It might be part social media and simply lack of eyes on my work. I mean without trying to sound like I want to be an "influencer", it is just. At the end, Art / Music is meant to be looked at and heard, otherwise it isn't art. The play and reaction with the viewer and audience is in symbiosis with the creation process of the artist. Otherwise what is it other than a therapeutic practice, or a hobby?
@@LevelH34D No problem family. Of course we all vent, and I understand the frustration of the lack of validation and/or acceptance. I do have to ask though, are you not an observer of the art you create? Is getting views on social media from random people really what makes this expression of yourself art? I’m sure you go out into the world whether for work or a social life maybe food, the clothing you wear when you go out, is that not a unique expression of yourself that’s others see and experience constantly? Brother when you talk to others are you not sharing your personal vision? It’s all simpler than we think, start small with little things you can share and show, decide what you want to do and how to do it, but be patient with yourself and allow it to come. Perhaps you reach no one as you say, if this isn’t satisfactory change what you’re doing. Art is expression brother, what you want out of it is what you will work to get. Do not do the same thing with no results and expect it to change (I don’t know your life or things you’ve done, take these words as you will)
In terms of spiritual, creative, life wisdom. This is like Christmas in the morning, my bday in the afternoon, NYE at night.
Very well put
haha so true, Pharrell is the living legend because hes seriously been following his curiosity his whole career, like my big brother through my whole journey as an artist
Rick Rubin is such a great interviewer. Pharrell is a legend! Thanks Guys! Blessed to Exist!
Being able to hear the water in the background is such a nice touch. Calming.
best pop songwriter in hip-hop history...the stuff he wrote for MJ and Prince...like "You Don't Have To Call" and "I'm A Slave For You" and the whole Justified album for Justin...some of that stuff would have been MJ's or Prince's best single on whatever album they would have released in the 2000's...but apparently, they didn't hear what was special about Pharrell's work...
Him and chad were giving out hits like free candy. Here you go Snoop, Britney and Justin. Heres a hit for you Nelly, Jay Z and Usher. Have a couple hits Gwen, Ludacris and Kelis. Lol
I forgot about those other ones, thank you for reminding me!
'The humility is as thick as the humidity is'
My feelings exactly 👌
"being able to do what you love...endlessly, I want that for people." wow, thank you for your well-wishes and beautiful energy, Pharrell. It is received and I will draw/paint/create for the rest of my life. No one may see my creations, and that's ok because I am in love with the journey. I am grateful to be connected to the universe and the earth in this way.
there are no better videos on the internet right now than these. please never stop.
I just watched the first Pharrell conversation for the first time the other day. This is the most perfect timing Rick thank you for this.
Love the passion Pharrell has given his music.
I don’t know why, perhaps from growing up a musician and not too much younger than Pharrell, but I found myself crying all throughout the entire Piece by Piece. Especially as a Filipino-American, they really did Chad Hugo well, despite the lawsuit issues they’re having. I’m nowhere near as successful as a musician, but it literally was like looking at a reflection of my own life, and what a creative way to do so. I really hope him and Chad patch things up.
Chad Hugo looking for some $ he's a 🐍.
@ and Pharrell ain’t? Chad basically made him.
@@pastense made him? Look who's on top ? Pharrell stand out because he's million times better.
@ really? Tell me what’s better, Neptunes sh!t or everything Pharrell did after that? All that music was laid down by Chad. Down to the drum programming. Also, Pharrell never could work alone, always needed some kind of muse when Chad stepped back. Just because Chad prefers less spotlight doesn’t mean he’s a snake. Pharrell wouldn’t be capable of the things he does now if it wasn’t for Chad. Even Pharrell would say that. Why you think he slowed down on the music to seek other ventures? You obviously didn’t watch movie thoroughly. TBH, Pharrell’s the real snake, but I mean that in the best way possible. He’s an inspirational icon either way. This whole beef is just unfortunate.
@@pastensebro both of them apart probably wouldnt be were they are today. You can say “whats better neptunes stuff or Pharrells solo stuff” and come to the conclusion that neptunes stuff is better but you can say the same thing about neptunes stuff vs solely chads stuff. Them together is better than either apart. I just hope they resolve this issue before they are both no longer
Never heard Pharrell speak in interview.... Very in depth and thoughtful person.... He speaks like as he knows, what he knows, he really knows... Very confident in what he says and how he speaks. Very insightful and thought provoking as well....
The 26:00 minute mark totally had me fixed on Acts 17:26 .. "From one man He made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands." ... Pharrell gets this for real.
I wish this conversation were longer, it’s so soothing listening to them take a deep dive into Pharrell mind
no. all is said by 50mins bro.
This interview blessed me in all the ways my spirit needed. Thank you God & thank you Pharrell 😭😭🙏🏾🙏🏾
Tf?🙄
> People like.....
Pharrell, Dave Chappelle, Maya Angelou, and Oprah Winfrey have been amongst the people bringing light to darkness with their talent, actions and words. That is more precious than gold to the human race.
I find myself to be agreeing and have already be feeling the very same way Pharrel thinks or feels, very special to be resonating in the same way that Pharrel is as of right now. Loved this interview.
This is a powerful interview. Thank yall both.
I really resonate with what Pharrell was speaking on regarding the Spiritual impact of Music , and how he found that early in the Church. As a child I do not remember much about the sermons in ( Baptist) Church , but in hindsight I do remember feeling things through the music , voices, and instruments that were used . The choir , and the musicians spoke things I couldnt explain until now in that music..
I keep learning that Music is really a spiritual vibration… and the voices, momentum , and instruments in the music speak their own language..
I always say that I want more Rap Musicians to utilize more live instrumentation because it would literally bring life to their music .. and I think eventually major healing/redirection in messaging too..
Virginia is your home😊 I’m from Richmond, Va….thanks Pharrell…we all love you❤
When Pharrell said at the end that he has long prayers and even pray for people he lost in contact with, that's a person who cares about people. And him teaching his kids empathy and humility through actions. That's very inspiring to just help people just because (no rewards or expecting of getting something back)
truly inspiring
i came here fast asf
With no second thought
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: Whaaattttt me 3 🎯
But it’s: On video
I tried
Same
Hearing Pharrell say when it comes to creating about his self it’s usually uninspiring, like a mirror looking into a mirror but when it comes to creating for others the potential is unlimited. I relate so much to that commissions feels so much more fulfilling than person projects
I am obsessed with Pharrell! His words make me want to listen. The stories he tells are captivating!
I love hearing topics around church and music, as well asv sound and universal concepts. This chat covered some dope points. One of the bars that I really resonated with is when Pharrell said: "Anything that is concievable, can happen"!
"Big Bang the start of the beat" -thats major bar
This interview is a blessing by the forces that be. The wealth gained from this interview is insurmountable.
P. is really an Artist.
Pharrell is so rare human being. still human, cool dude.
real look on stuff, even if he got all stuff around.
It’s The “I Want This For Everybody For Me”! Clear indication that if you push through fear, push through doubt, you can & will achieve “Greatness & Phenomenal Things”!
This came out at the exact perfect time for me I needed this. Super therapeutic. Thank you both for being open and sharing this. Beautiful 🙏🙏
23:02 P says “Type Shit” 😆
Pharrell really was lock-in all year.
The line about his kids being like songs or bridges .. wow 🥹
Pharrell the realest
I enjoyed every second of this✍️🧡💜
I love any videos with Rick. Rick and Pharrell? AGAIN?! Absolutely.
LOVE this interview!! So much respect for the both of you as artists. Would love a music collaboration with you two!! Also, took my family to see your movie for my birthday. EVERYONE LOVED IT!!! (Ages 46-10) We were dancing in our seats. It was so much fun. Thank you for that magic!
🥰🧱🎶❤
this was pure bliss and harmony! thankyou Rick and Pharrell for taking the time out of your day to do this!
1’s and 0’s and 1’s and 0’s and Pharrell and Rick are floating on the same cloud
Pharrell, maybe one day i could tell you in person but just in case Im not able too, thanks for the lesson in humility. I’ve never considered how egotistical I was until now. Your music is phenomenal but your perspective, outstanding. Thank you.
didn't have any expectations clicking on the link, but in the end it's good to say that Pharell seems like a great guy!
loved the stories about music in church and his appreciation of the "existence".
Pharrell is the most genius artist of our generation
ON TIME😊❤❤❤
These Videos make my day fr
Beautiful 🌟
This was way better than I imagined. Quite an inspiration
Beautiful.
This man is avoiding saying the word ‘God’. Everything he is explaining is giving credit to a higher power and he finally realizes he doesn’t have control, doesn’t have to please anyone, that his gift from God is much greater than Pharrell understands. The impact the three songs did without him knowing and how all the duck were lined up in a role for that to happen. It ain’t luck, It’s God having a larger plan. The spirit is God folks. I hope everyone here gets to have that relationship ❤
Pharrell creations are always exciting.The crows were satisfied. Perfect ending.
Praying for Pharrell. I love his perspective on church and God. Many ppl need to have a relationship with God and understand how the Holy Spirit is so powerful. It can shift a room just with worship and music
This it amazing. So much to learn from these leaders.
Take a shot every time he says LEGO
The 2 heavenly souls that have inspired and influenced the last 40 years of generational musical history
You people are ridiculous
Man P your amazing, wise words always lift up. And thank you through my love to your music and persona, you give a remind to us to never give up and motivation to continue, because we exist.
"Becuase I love Music, Music is the skeleton key that opened up every door for me" - 🔥🔥🔥
Super dope movie. Especially as a vb native. It was really crazy and beautiful to see Mt. Trashmore and the Neptune statue on the big screen.
A grown ass man talking about Legos
A grown ass man about to be paid more than you'll ever be paid in your life from lego. Always a hater projecting in the comments. Don't be that guy.
Bruh we got less than 100 years on this planet stop spending your life occupying your mind with who you “ought” to be to get approval from others. Be yourself and stop limiting yourself and others based on an idea in your head. We all gonna be gone in 100 years.
Great interview! loves when he shared who his God was ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
MISSISSIPPI 😊❤❤❤
So inspiring 🪬✨🌱
Loved this interview I can soooo relate👌☮️
Thankful. Another great conversation between two humble and self aware legends.
Those shades are so tough
Big Love from Tocantins, Brazil

Beautiful interviewi
Great interview with Sam "Ace" Rothstein. He was brilliant in that Casino documentary.
Scarcity = bold 🌌 The fact that it’s a secret preserves it 😃🙏
Nobody is speaking about the yellow teeth matching the earrings , pendant and the rings Pharrell really pays attention to details n it's sick finding yellow teeth Kool af ❤
Yellow teeth? You mean gold grills 😂
Salute Pharrell for continuing to shine light on VA beach through and through 757 birthed me 🏄🏾♂️
