Pharrell: "Never Stop Working On Music Because.."

[@drewsmudemyoozik]

Back in the day, I had an idea that I never acted on. Later on, I heard a Jermaine Dupri track just like the idea I had. I was so mad, but I drug my feet on it! Stop thinking that you are the only one that thinks the way you think!

[@CurtissKingTV]

Jermaine checked that book out expeditiously 🤣 the worst feeling at first but also can be validating

[@drewsmudemyoozik]

Yeah Mane! … lol

[@TheTrueChrisA.K.]

Dang. Had a similar experience, fam. Was gonna flip "X Factor", but held off...fast forward some months, I hear a song called "Nice For What" use the EXACT same parts was gonna use. 🤦🏼‍♂

[@drewsmudemyoozik]

Ouch! I know that one hurt! Hey, great minds think alike. You be the first one next time!

[@mikenomics1014]

@TheTrueChrisA.K. Sheesh! That's a big one. You and the op Keep grinding those examples just show yall on the right track!

[@gullydeluxe]

Back in like 97, my homie was starting to do beats and he did a lot of hihats & 808s (trap) and I started putting melodies on top. We never did anything with those ideas. Fast forward a few years later, no lie, That was becoming the sound of the South. And the melodies with the trap beats are the standard. Im not saying we were the creators of the sound. Im saying we had early access library cards 🤷🏿‍♂️

[@VANDREL100]

The presentation of ideas are more important than the origination of idea. Without the presentation we would not be talking about the idea in the first place!

[@LaynoProd]

“stop sleeping on the ideas you been gifted with” 🙏🏽💎🤯 love that thank you Curtiss for this video and sharing Pharrell wisdom, a lot of inspiration for my next project and upcoming music sessions

[@Incisixn_Beats]

Forreal music writes itself

[@Machetebeats]

Thankyou Curtis!❤

[@aaronchambliss7425]

Ever had a crazy idea and then boom its gone forever because you didn't act on it only to hear it someplace else later like the radio! This is what Pharrell is talking about.

[@jdmswxrld]

Timing is a Beautiful gift!🙏🏾💪🏾 #BeGreat

[@fedoramcclaren4294]

Oh my goodness!!! I ALWAYS have these grandiose ideas, and based on my lack of instruments, it is difficult to do. Many of us just forget it because we want it to be EXACTLY like how we heard it in our heads.

[@baldman5k]

Oh my god, YES!! I have absolutely had ideas come to me in a dream, and when I woke up, it was just about gone, BUT… I can’t tell you how many damn times an idea (FULLY FLESHED OUT IDEA) comes to me when I’m trying to fall asleep. Omg, it’s THE WORST… Especially since there’s only been a couple times where I had the right amount of determination and discipline to GET OUT OF BED RIGHT THEN, so I could write it down or voice record the idea on my phone… MAAAAN… so many incredible ideas just faded off into sleep land tho… DAMN… 😮

[@ScottThePisces]

Yeah Rick Rubin mentions the same thing in his book, we're all antennas for creative ideas. When it's time for an idea to be in the world, it'll come to you and if you don't act upon it, don't be surprised if someone else has the same idea.

[@gregh_777]

these ideas sound a lot like the things discussed in Rick Rubins book The Creative Act: A Way of Being. Highly recommend checking it out. I loved the audio version.

[@CurtissKingTV]

You are now the 5th person to suggest it to me. Lol Ordering now

[@gregh_777]

@@CurtissKingTV yea man. It's real food for thought

[@SmokinAcesProd]

Thank you for yelling at me with the message😂. Too often I get these ideas and things will keep me from laying down.

[@DarevBeatsgotthefire]

It’s mysterious how I watch you everyday and everyday comes with a whole new inspiration from watching you. Much love from Nigeria big bro🫡🫡

[@FNSMusicGroup]

Enough said Curtis, thank you that was deep, really opened my eyes to things! Pharrell snapped, that's deep because Divine energies also coming into play with that. Just say that the most high may have gave you a blessing, but you didn't appreciate it, so the most high gave it to somebody else who appreciate it better than you! 💯 Be grateful, because the universe might need you more than you think! It just maybe you that can make that change! If you take it!

[@gemsound]

Them adding a pic of him from 2000 but saying it’s him in 1990 is the most hilarious part of that meme.😂

[@CurtissKingTV]

😭 they’ll do anything to prove their point

[@bemci1975]

brooooooooooooooooooo, again broooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo this is real 😂.... I work in an ad agency, ideas is what we live for, so this topic of borrowed ideas isn't talked about enough, i remember one time Rick Rubin said something similar to this, i make music all the time, in my head i'm hans zimmer in reality i don't know music theory, i get frustrated most times when orchestrations gets played in my head and I can't bring it out to reality, it hurts really bad 😂😭

[@alexlacy1051]

Remember everyone is unique just like everyone else 😂😂😂

About 20 years ago, I worked for Subway and I came up with a custom sandwich... the Roasted Chicken Marinara Sub. A couple months after I quit (or got fired), guess what new sandwich Subway unveils?

[@RFJSTYLE0522]

Pharrell is the greatest 🙌 and he will always teach wisdom because he loves music 🎶 it's not a job for him that's something that he love to do.

[@calel5470]

Rapid changes in styles, trends and technology also make it easier for stagnant artists to fall behind, mainly in the hiphop genre.

[@MicYoung]

I got mad past due Library books 📚 in hard drives and 📓 lawd have mercy

[@CurtissKingTV]

😭 too relatable

[@BLUNTZnBEATZ97]

I guess i can understand what he's saying in the sense that I use to be heavy in the drumkit scene, making drum kits left and right and when i wanted to go a different direction i would always get frustrated because the company I was working with would hassle me about not doing what THEY wanted... So it felt like more of a chore later on than anything else... And then eventually i would scrap the ideas and stick to the script... I no longer work with them anymore and although im not making as much money... I dont miss it...

[@angiewizefool]

Much coolness King, 👊🏾‼️🔥😁🙌🏾🙏🏾Blessed wishes...

Yep. We are not meant be masters of the universe but expressions of an ultimate power.

[@SimpllMusic]

All ideas I have are from things I know, so it kinda already exists but it was never made the way I want to make it, that's why it won't stop me from creating something new. :D # #philosophy

Loved this 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@kennardwaters3410]

What I ve been doing lately is following the ideas of the legendary Roc Marciano. I am by far not a beat maker. But i have a zoom sampletrak, so i ll sample a part of a beat loop it up and make songs on the straight sample. I know thats lazy but i get the song done and a later date can reconstruct it on an original beat or give the idea away to someone else someone with the resources. I just like to write its a hobby.

Oh and as for you having that sound in your head that you need to get out and you wanted to sound just like you needed the sound try Dubler you can say whatever you want n a mic and it played it just like you made it with your mouth 💯 tech getting crazy!

[@qigonglungz]

Superman Method: Incentive to buy your own equipment instead of using the money to Ball out of control... Before you get that chain, get that studio built... next learn how to use the equipment... When the contracts wolves show up.... you now have a "Fortress of Solitude" to continue to be an artist and not give it away due to contract to anybody....

[@kaampaulokovu3245]

Krazy,, I have a lot of ideas no musicship lol😂😂😂😂

[@nicholashayes5773]

Or just keep making music in secret and keep it in your personal vault without telling the label about it lol.

[@nickgoodlock263]

I'm pretty sure Nikola Tesla believed ideas are just out there in the universe and you just have to tune in for the idea to come to you.

The Universe has no power stop giving credit to the creation but instead the creator. Ideas are apart of the Manner of God that falls on all men/women. Seek him and exercise your gift to tap in 💯

$7.3 million loss for Pharrell Williams over Blurred Lines. His lawyers didn't find him a way out of it.

[@teebonemalone601]

Add doing Kelis dirty!

[@bryantoconnor691]

Music has been made FREE A terrible blow for everybody ! Creativity exists in a original form people in position just steal from one another ! 😮😮

[@MatrixxSoundlab]

90% of the bangers that I've made started out as beatboxed or hummed ideas in my phone! And in some cases I even keep those original ideas in a track, hidden in the percussion, because those ideas come while I'm at work, while I'm driving, while I'm sleeping, etc. And if I don't get them in my phone AS SON AS THEY COME, I'll lose em! Before smart phones, I'd call home and leave my ideas on my answering machine. I posted those a few years ago, showing how my ideas start in my phone. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJu6nJqogpaMZ5Y
