I'm a mixed kid (white/black) and grew up listening to both rap/hip-hop and rock (I naturally gravitated to metal as I got older). When I tell someone that I fuck with both genres equally, no one seems to get it but things like N.E.R.D. and Rage Against the Machine can satisfy the craving for both. I mean, come on, it's just so damn cool to mix genres together !! 🔥🔥🔥
@@jessestarnes4564 amen! And in the 80s-00s, both genres rocked with each other ex. Public Enemy Anthrax/Rage Against The Machine/Cypress Hill/Metallica
How?? This is extremely dumbed down compared to other bands in the genre at the time. Example?? Check out the album "Orphan", by Darwin's Waiting Room.
Sucks to see that most of the people don't even know about this part of Pharell's career, since this was way better than what he does now. (Don't get me wrong, i like his new stuff, but this....THIS.)
Your so right.... i remember being like 10/11 when this was on mtv.... and everytime the video used to come on I used to go crazy with my brother and sisters lol Im just glad i grew up in the late 90s early 2000s best music in all genres at that time....
amen bro... ive been a n.e.r.d/Neptune fan since 2001... and as years have gone by pharell and n.e.r.d have just gotten worse lol.. the new 2017 n.e.r.d album sounds so shit... seems to me they totally destroyed their classic rock , rap vibe with a touch of Neptune sound...... they should of made the 2017 n.e.r.d album with spymob again

I'm 52. My daughter turned me on to Pharrell's unique and awesome talent 10 years ago. There is no one else like him. A combination of not only having a great singing voice but this man can sing, write, compose, choreograph, produce. What else can I say. He is the total package plus a very humble person. Kudos to Pharrell Williams. I am happy he is FINALLY getting the credit he has been deserved for so long! Godspeed Pharrell! You are one in a million!!!!!!!!
+induplicable This wasn't slept on at all. I didn't become a fan of rap until almost 10 years after this song came out, and when I came across it again I remembered hearing it everywhere back in the day. Also, there are over 1500 comments on this video, they just aren't showing up for some reason.
MTV used to play this video all the time when this song came out. This song wasn't slept on, but N.E.R.D as a band certainly was. People expected their sound to be like what they heard in The Neptunes beats. If listeners didn't approach N.E.R.D's music with an open-mind, they were sorely disappointed. Personally, I love their albums.
Obviously a lot of you know nothing of Pharrell's background and starting as a producer far before N.E.R.D. He and Timbaland were in group back in high school when Pharrell co produced Rump Shaker for Wrecks n Effect. Pharrell always loved this type of music do to his upbringing in Virginia Beach. N.E.R.D was expansion of the Neptunes
Al B Hell yeah . Actually played that song yesterday when I was bopping around doing my housework Totally forgot about them producing it thanks for remind me 🙃
Oh yeah, Virginia Beach, the city of people who never left after high school. They don't have a culture other than a watered down version of what they wish they had.
Yep, I remember when he went to Princess Anne high school. He still shows up sometimes. A lot of my friends used to party with him. I wasn't quite old enough lol.
@Noobiie69: Pharrell wrote "Happy" for Cee-Lo Green to perform as one of his own songs, but Cee Lo's producers denied the single saying that Green had to focus on his new material. And Pharrell is a ghost writer for MANY people, he doesn't have people write music for him, he writes his own lyrics, always has and always will.
I used to have a pic of him in this outfit on Facebook years ago. He was splattered all over my myspace too. He inspired the guys in Odd Future a lot. You can tell.
Randy Quaid is everything I needed him to be for this role. Thank you Sir, for the crouch shots and strong demeaner. Shoutout to @N.E.R.D. for the classic!
This was the dopest album in years. When i was in the army. We would jam this in the barracks. Then he had his singles, N i would play this to people. They were blown over. Nerd was shizzzz.
I ain't gonna lie. I was watching Bringing Down The House the other day and heard Steve Martin playing this on the radio. I had forgotten about this song. Thanks👍
Oh God.. memories of me and one of my best friends singing this song 1,000,000 times on Guitar/Band Hero xx jajajajaja. Never thought a song like this could be considered Nostalgic... but, indeed it is :P
Love this song ... keep coming back to it... keep singing it... keep forget and singing aloud "Guess you ain't heard that we swallow guys" ... Go quiet and red in my face even though nobody can hear me.
Can we please welcome Randy Quaid back into the US with open arms and forgive any misgivings? He and his brother Dennis are national treasures and deserve to be treated as such. Just look at their body of work!
I used to love N.E.R.D in like sixth grade or seventh grade. Went to their show on the Sprite Liquid Mix Tour or whatever it was called. Pharell has changed a lot.
Sitting in my room before school creating art the world will love, finding this for the first time. P, it’s almost over now. I’m putting in the work. It’s only a matter of time now👐🖖

Leave rap out of this mf. Show me a single other contemporary medium that does not have lyrics like this 🙄. There are SO many different genres within rap this is truly insane to say. It’s the equivalent of “wow the sentences they allow in books are crazy.” MF
Niko Dolomite His back up vocals are unnecessary. It's almost like they gave it to him so cuz they feel sorry for him. And the production is done by mostly Chad Hugo and the remaining by Pharrell.
+aergdr no youre completely wrong, most of the production is pharrell, chad hugo adds or takes away things that he thinks will make the song sound better, shae is like the hype man at shows and also obviously has his parts in some of the songs. but real n.e.r.d. fans know that without shae theres no n.e.r.d.
That classic Neptune sound !
N*E*R*D, the best rap-rock band no one ever talks about
We talk about ‘em ♥️
More than rap n rock N*E"R*D brought the FUNK!
Virginia Beach represent!!!
They have a rival...they are named The Naptunes
def better than linkin park, more orginal
I swear Pherrel Williams is one of ten coolest people to have ever walked this earth.
Its because he swallows guys
he really is, gets along w/ everybodyyy while still having his own style
and he was very cute too
Yea
He never ages 😂

Yes and, the two genres aren't nearly as far apart as people think they are. Different energy: Same Vibe.

They were def. in a league of their own.

I actually dig this music video version than the other one. Must be the electric guitar and drums.

really worrying that people are questioning if this is Pharell.......where were you guys when he actually produced good music?
I know, I feel like youtube is full of 12 year olds
Pharell's still a pretty damn good producer.
Yeah IKR
fucking losers
He still does, you just don't listen to it.
These dudes embodied the 757 in the early 2000's, i love City 🏙️
Underrated song. I remember when this came out it got some OK airplay on the radio but nothing compared to what other shitty stuff got.
*Pharell was what 50 back then..now he's like 126*
*_you spelt vampire wrong_*
😂😂😂
are u dumb make no type of sense go to school
I think he's trying to imply that Pharell never ages when he gradually get older. Pharell looks young bro.
