The fact that so many people didnt know Pharell was behind these hits goes to show how underrated he is as a producer

[@di7787]

They are surely very young ;)) I ain't even a hip hop fan and know lots of things that he produced

[@AuthorLHollingsworth]

@@di7787 I second that. Majority of those songs were early 2000's. Back in the day Neptune was announced like Rock Nation, Murder Inc., and Bad Boy. Good days!

[@LeoJusti]

All producers. If he's underexposed imagine the rest of us lol

[@ctm9364]

All producers are underrated Producers really deserve more credit than artists Especially for those artists who dont even write their own songs. If artists have demo's and they are just spitting what someone else did then they shouldnt deserve the credit producers have Producing imo opinion seems very hard and special skill

[@DrummerJacob]

@Daij Age absolutely has something to do with what music you appreciate and know about. And judging by your abuse of the word 'literally', Id say youre in the younger age group because words still have meaning for the rest of us.

Pharell's producing skills are not given enough credit

[@TheWutangclan1995]

This video makes me appreciative of the fact that most of the songs I’ve listened to growing up have been produced by Skateboard P.

[@gorehammer42o]

He was such an idol of mine throughout my teenage years. When NERD collab'd with Fiasco, it was pure perfection man. Missin them old hip hop days.

[@gorehammer42o]

Ok boomer.

[@bernaldulce]

I had that album and nobody could tell me nothin in school

[@malikfisher4413]

Where’s neon guts

[@KidLondon]

Malik Fisher don’t fooled by the views, that’s not a Hit song compared to these songs on this video...

[@dmbot2003]

@@KidLondon shut the fuck off

[@xnrst]

neon guts wasn't released when this video was made

[@nottheoriginalhandle]

Arthur Morgan you can shut the fuck off too

[@ashtonmonica8216]

That's what I was gonna say!

[@SethV]

Pharrell's hands down best producer in the game!!!!!!

Him, Ye and Tyler

@@butchalini725 You said it my man!! ayy madlib goated too

[@akibasimpson7113]

It’s a signature, but it’s also a way to catch your attention at the beginning of the song.

[@eddiegonzales3262]

The whole time I’m waiting for “Neon Guts”

[@codsquad3819]

This was released befor that song came out

[@cmgyt5724]

I've noticed this, but never knew he did it to so many songs. Probably not an INTENTIONAL producer tag. More-so just a suspense element that he realizes helps hype up the crowd prior to actually dropping the track so he kept doing it. Regardless, he's a genius for it. You forgot Common's "Universal Mind Control"

[@MarcusJII]

Y'all late noticing this. I always look for em now

[@rafsan8727]

Marcus J ayt man thats good for you. want a medal?

[@rafsan8727]

want a medal?

[@MarcusJII]

You didn't have to say it twice we heard you the first time big fella lol

[@lejiffstix6229]

so do you? you haven't answered yet.

[@MarcusJII]

Le Jiffstix only if you give yourself a trophy for caring so much

[@Sixersszn0]

Fun fact Pharrell trademarked the four count at the start of song so pretty much every song that has it is a Pharrell song

[@jadend9757]

Damn, all my favourite songs from different artists always seem to be produced by him. This man is a genius 👏

[@andregordon2599]

I actually really like this. It's a non obnoxious way to put your signature on a beat, unlike other ridiculous producer tags (I see you " Murda on da beat, ho")

[@anshul.bhosale]

You mixed two producers there, it's "murda on the beat so it's not nice" and the other one is "mustard on the beat, ho"

[@Matthew-cx9gj]

I mean, some of them can be just super obnoxious like "We got London on Da Track" because of how high pitched it is, but if you look at for example, Father Stretch My Hands, that producer tag helps it be that much better at the beginning personally.

Damn Son Where’d you find this?

808 Mafia

[@victoria4]

how have i never noticed this?? i hate myself

[@kristopher7smith771]

That's the sickest tag bro is literally music

[@Sijan.G]

People don’t realize how big of an Icon/Legend Pharrell is lol🤦🏻‍♂️

[@KaizerMan]

He does this as a sly way to come up with a quick introduction. Like right after the 4 beat count it goes straight into the song and without it the song would feel like it was made by an amateur. So the 4 beat count is a quick and easy introduction. I might use it in future for some of my songs :D

[@omgitsalexis1000]

Kaizer-Man interesting, that makes sense. Did he say that or you just came to that conclusion?

[@THEINFAMOUS1011]

Kaizer-Man none of these beats would sound like they were made by amateurs minus the 4 beat count 😑😑😑

[@KaizerMan]

THEINFAMOUS1011 Well maybe not but it would sound like it was made by someone who doesn't understand song structure.

[@bruyeretv]

Yeah that's strange. Obvi he understands the hell out of song structure, maybe he just isn't a fan of crafting intros lol

[@MisterFoxx]

He does it for the DJs when they need transitions in their sets

[@tyworley]

This is something so simple that I never noticed but I will notice from this point onward

[@ProdAdrian]

biggest inspiration ever
