Neptunes/NERD/ Pharrell Wiliams Rare Interview

[@thelightseeker94]

I've been on a neptunes old footage binge lately. I'm just now realizing what an impact they had on a 7-13 year old me. To this day I hear neptunes songs from the 2000s and I feel like this was the pinnacle of modern music across all genres. I gotta throw timbaland name out too. He was on fire at the time with his production across all genres. Must be a VA thing everybody out of that state was dope.

[@justinjones143]

I'm 30 and I feel you. Neptunes beats are timeless and P was my idol. Timbaland is a goat too.

[@designedbydaughter]

definitely a VA thing

[@preciousprecious8500]

This !!

[@M360-w6o]

“U Don’t Have to Call was for Michael 5 years ago”- this interview was 2002, so they presented it to him in 1997. Crazy

[@thelightseeker94]

I still can't get over that they had that incredible track done in 97. They were really from another planet.

[@thegoat3153]

Usher sounds just like Mike on there too. Amazing

[@maratnahimana]

That's crazy they kept that timeless beat for 5 years!!

[@bladebrown4191]

Yep. His management shot down some of their records before they even got to him. By the time it got to Usher, MJ tried to steal it back, but Usher wouldn't let it go 😂

[@M360-w6o]

@@bladebrown4191 MJ wanted more Superthug and Oh no Neptunes anyway

[@alienmonkei]

2017 NEEDS THIS!!! WE NEED THAT Neptunes FEEEL AGAIN

[@JordansConcept]

Alien Monkei PREACH. btw I follow you on Instagram 💀. You got dope art bruh.

[@TOONAGE]

Alien Monkei I’m gonna bring it back fr watch.

[@YoshiBugatti]

Alien Monkei it’s coming 🖖

[@MsTrueTy]

Yea i miss the neptunes sound. Pharrell and chad are just doing things on their own...but i certainly miss the magic of the neptunes sound.

[@alienmonkei]

@@apep.8555 I wonder about that though....I think the next "Neptunes" will be manufactured and shoved down our throat, it's already happening

[@audiodopebeats]

Thank God we have KZbin to watch all of these rare interviews! Never seen this one!

[@pompeybeats8915]

Man had it not been for Pharrell, I wouldn't even care about music! I make beats because of this music and life genius. Long Live Pharrell

[@playab2954]

PompeyBeats just a question do you have to learn music theory to make beats also what equipment should I get if im just starting out

[@pompeybeats8915]

theory is good for foundation to build on but in my experience and many others, its not absolutely necessary. I use mostly Fruity Loops software right now, but I started on the Roland Fantom X6 keyboard. If I were just starting out making music, I'd get into conversations and meetings with your local church musicians. Sorry so long winded but lastly, I'd use a lot of my time sampling and recreating so you can find out the mannerisms of music so to speak. Good luck my friend

[@TwanAM]

PompeyBeats Same Pharrell is that nigga man always strive to make music like his.

[@nerdywilliams]

fav interview from the era

[@RDoubt96]

This man made the U Don't have to call beat in 1997 wtf...mind fucked.

[@cellchirp]

goat

[@Zellymackintosh]

dawg what??? yu couldnt tell? sheeesh lol

[@pnmcrw]

Fucking amazing man, hard to believe, I'm playing all 97 hits i could think of nothing comes remotely close production wise!

[@RDoubt96]

pnmcrw exactly!

[@nigelbellusci3253]

futuristic sound

[@bladebrown4191]

People don't realize that alot of producers stockpile so much music before it's even considered for release, that by the time it's put out (or not), they've moved on musically 5 times over. That plays alot into several repetitive sounding beats coming out after a few hit it big.

[@guacamolegoblin]

Facts

[@puertoblack4605]

That host was all in his pockets at the end of the interview. I seen almost every Pharrell interview except this one. Thank you for sharing.

[@leowilsonmusic]

DAAMMN I WATCHED THAT LIVE !!!....STILL REMEMBER HIM TALKING,THINKING HE'S A GENIUS. TIME FLIES. NERD FOR LIFE

[@one.ebrown]

Bro you gotta tell the story about this experience man

[@Ayplus]

The Neptunes definitely DID reproduce their sounds many times, between 98-2002 alot of their stuff sounded similar. Too many to name, but it worked. Its how they developed a sound

[@Infraredx]

it was that guitar sound effect in every song

[@QuadrantBottomHalf]

Drums too.

[@galacticgraphicdesign1004]

those druums

[@neye5904]

Yes those drums for sure.

[@MsTrueTy]

They had a signature yes a lil sound that goes "yup thats the neptunes" however alot of their music you could tell was formed by the influence of the things that inspire them; and also the person in the room. They werent afraid to play around, take risk and be weird. They forever stay students to music...and that is why chad and pharrells are masters of the craft

[@andrewilliams6866]

Could they make a documentary/docu-series of pharrell and n.e.r.d. between the 90s until their seeing sounds album or even happy p... a clash between what noisey did for asap and that Netflix look mom I'm flying flick

[@csagouki]

lmao when the interviewer asked about how much he was making Pharrell crossed his arms AND legs

[@taekim8049]

csagouki yeah coz he was cramping pharrell's style

[@AndrewsOpinion15]

HAPPY 46TH BIRTHDAY PHARRELL WILLIAMS !!!!

[@livenaturallea]

Wow, I love finding new interviews! I love intense he is about his work, both Pharrell and Trevor. This was a great interview

[@fightermma]

Hi Something I have been in search for quite sometime is a connection with somebody that goes beyond vanity. It's very hard to do in this day and age. People can be, somewhat very superficial. On my quest to achieve this I have learnt a lot about human nature. It seems to me that those who are not given traits such as beauty or being wealthy are some of the nicest, kindest and generous people. While the "gorgeous" and well off seem to be the most arrogant and greedy people out there. Of course that's not to say there aren't beautiful kind people out there. I've been in the process of change for a while now and I have made some decent changes. I saw your profile and it intrigued me. I wanted to learn more about who you are and what type of path you would like on in life. Can we talk?

[@clarkvaughan]

06:55 "They're a star looking for a movie." Well put.

[@thelightseeker94]

yeah and Omarion's touch was a younger "The way you make me feel" I always said Micheal would go well on this song.

[@romaniaharry]

He dont like the fame

The interviewer is sooo annoying

[@jjeter1]

Mike wasn't signing no new other record deal. He was. His goal was to take over Sony's records.. and it's only two top record. Labels is Sony and universal now. I believe if Mike w never said nothing about him taking over Sony. He was still be here. That's my conspiracy theory
