Pharrell is so humble. I have so much respect for him.

[@rtoriq]

I remember when I heard the “U don’t have to call” by Usher, and I heard the part “gonna boogie toniiiiight” I said damn imagine if Michael sang this song. Imagine my shock when Pharrell said he wrote it for him. I had the same shock when I heard “Happy” and when I heard the 3rd line of the chorus and thought “man I don’t know why I could see Cee-lo singing this”. Lo and behold, Pharrell wrote it for him and he originally sang it before Cee-lo’s team turned it down. Pharrell got a knack for matching someone’s sound, I must say.

If MJ had accepted those songs like Señorita, Like I Love You, & Rock Your Body? That surely would have put him back on the map musically and given himself another certified classic. “Frontin” was all Prince needed to connect to my generation, assuming they kept the Jay verse, it would’ve bridge a gap we much needed in hip hop.

[@CHPInc-fg5mo]

This is literally facts. This is why I admire Beyonce for working with new producers on the new album to connect to this new generation. Prince and MJ could have smashed the 2000's the same way Madonna ended up doing.

[@bladebrown4191]

In all fairness, he didn’t need to be put back on the map. He was every producer’s North Star. All those songs that fell into Babyface, Usher and JT’s hands worked out great for them. If they could’ve linked up, MJ would’ve helped them raise the bar even higher than those tracks.

[@andremoore7671]

​@@bladebrown4191 You're absolutely right, MJ was most definitely the standard but by the 2000's there were other pop sensations competing in music. In 2001 MJ's Invincible sold 8 million worldwide, incredible numbers for any artist but very low in terms of what MJ has been accustom too. In 2002 Justin Timberlake's "debut" album Justified sold 10 million worldwide. MJ is the GOAT overall but at that particular time, Pharrell had everything MJ needed to continue his run as King, instead Justin not only made a career off of Mike's leftovers but outsold him as well. I'm just saying had he accepted those major songs, Invincible would be universally recognized as a certified pop classic, along with unimaginable music videos, awards, and the record sells to match. Imagine Michael & Janet performing at that Half-time show, without the wardrobe malfunction of course lol.

That Timbaland beat he talking bout is Jay Z - Its hot(some like it hot) Jays verse and Timbo's beat just compliment each other so well. But listen to the instrumental its jus incredible. I totally agree Timbaland was WAY ahead of his time. The Neptunes is no slouch neither but you gotta give credit where credit is due. Plus also Aaliyah's - Are you that somebody where he got the baby laughing OMG! Salute to VIRGINIA for such great talent.

I love Timbaland, but I've always preferred Pharrell over him. I'd put all my money on Pharrell in a Verzuz

[@rome5152]

Wishing you all light and positivity

Never knew Pharrell is the reason they give gold roses now

[@DSLightning21]

Of course Prince turned down Frontin'. It contains a sample of MJ's "I Can't Help It" during the bridge, and Prince didn't like sampling (and a few other creative differences between the two icons) . 😉

[@princejaydonis]

You just educated me.... had to play that baseline in my head to recognize that, and you really have to know your music sonically to catch that.

[@treasurewashington8519]

Oh yes he definitely made many statements that he's a musician, not into sampling music but creating it

[@gellotion]

That's the final version that we heard. We don't know what Prince heard. Plus P is smart enough to not send *Prince* a track he knew would get rejected for something like sampling.

Wow man...that just blew my mind 🤯😤

[@MrDeezy921]

Prince was "frontin" lol. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Lol nice

[@HashimWarren]

Nore, please do "my top ten calls" book

[@RetrogradeBeats]

prince was very particular about working with people, he would help others out he thought made good Music especially up and coming artists but would not collab with them lol.

[@rayjay7959]

Honestly, even though it would have been awesome to hear Prince and Michael Jackson on The Neptunes tracks, I can't imagine Rock Your Body without Justin Timberlake or Frontin without Pharrell's voice.

[@ManilaSlim]

I wouldn't mind AI versions made to hear prince do frontin and Mike on those justin tracks

[@pkcannontv]

Dope and talented bro. Genius cat! 🎶

[@luckyrose6251]

ONE THING ABOUT SKATEBOARD P IS THAT HE IS TRULY GENUINE 💯 HE JUST GAVE NORE ANOTHER MILLION DOLLAR IDEA FOR FREE ...... A BOOK CALLED MY TOP TEN PHONE CALLS 💯 GENIUS ....

[@80sclassic63]

I agree with Pharrell about what Timberland did on that Jayz "Some Like It Hot" & Point Out The Bounce!

[@kdeloris2225]

Pharrelll said I was dialing 911 😂😂😂

[@NaturallyConscience]

Awe this was too short!!! I could listen to Nore and PHARRELL alllllll day. 💪🏾

[@mider-spanman5577]

One of my favorite songs and instrumentals is Skateboard P- Show You How To Hustle (ft Lauren London)
