"parents kill more dreams than anybody"

[@wandafischetti1186]

LOVE THIS INTERVIEW, BEAUTIFUL ARTISTS, LOVE AND ADMIRE THEM ALWAYS!

[@shanellsplace]

I know many people feel some type of way about Spike Lee, but this interview is AWESOME!!!

[@redclay2657]

This is becoming my favorite channel. I love the intimacy and authenticity of the interviewers ability to genuinely connect to these artists of various genres

[@namibsecurity6755]

Two great minds...I feel both,inspired,uplifted and enthused,Thank you so much Pharrell and Spike #MindFood

[@LaPetiteshy]

Wow, asolutely blown aqway by this interview!So many truths being told here!Big ups, putting those two together around one table!

[@shiorikiba15]

I'm an eighteen year old aspiring musician and it's crazy how educational these have been for me i have just about watched every episode and it has opened my mind to so much pharell williams is a genius who sits and talks with other geniuses but yet he still refers to himself as a student and you can tell all this by how tuned in he becomes when someone is speaking he is truly my biggest inspiration and I hope to one day work with him

[@McCloud23892]

Love Spike, Pisces are the most creative signs Artistically, Musically, etc.

[@DrCentra]

This is magical.

[@constanceescobar58]

I was 20 in 1989 and I saw and heard it all.

[@ste90999]

(About the topic that was opened at 24:30) In ancient Greece music,gymnastics,maths,astrology and grammar were the lessons that were taught to every citizen in the advanced city's of Greece,every one had to know since and art thus having a higher and smarter evolving civilization (just like the Egyptians) and thus bringing us to were we are now.The age were living in does not encourage artists,scientists or dreamers it encourages workers,people who will process goods for other people to work and process goods to obtain the other goods.That is the paradox we are living in and are trapped in and i think is the down full of art in this age and how we view it as a whole in modern society.I really hope we open are eyes and maybe create a different path for the children of the future so we can evolve and thrive as species.

[@GuilermoJones]

two of the greatest minds!

[@empowermph]

SHE'S GOTTA HAVE IT Soundtrack / Score by Bill Lee, Spike's father. I recommend everyone to buy, download, listen to this masterpiece.

[@jmet678]

[@cllgscreative]

Love how spiritual both of these dudes are.

[@skeetmoses]

LOL you see Spike when that girl came out LOL Pharrell didn't flinch he's like "sure" LOL

[@aliahspirituality]

Beautiful and inspiring conversation. the creative energy and excitement jumping off these two Is electric

[@BusiLethole]

one of the best conversations between two people. love this!

[@j2times2006]

16:50 starts the absolutely best part of this video. Very inspiring and hopefully it will point the rest of us into the direction of where we want to go.

[@UKLeonie]

Beautiful interview I hate to watch this end

[@SuaveeGuy1]

The facial expressions of the people Pharrell interviews when the nude girl comes out is always HILARIOUS to me. lmao. Great interview. Very inspirational & informative.

[@RobBanManasseh]

Surprised at how similar Pharrell and myself are in terms of upbringing, views, and musicianship. I always love to hear jewels from Mr. Spike Lee. Great interview!

Pharrell, this is one of the best series I've ever watched. KZbin or otherwise and I've only seen 2!! Keep it up, these are super inspirational!

[@MiguelExhale]

Where did the girl come from? I was rolling!

[@Genjuro66]

this was a kool interview,lots of history behind this man,spike lee,Pharrel interviewing him just makes perfect sense

[@GratitudeGriot]

I love that Pharrell had a fanboy moment while Spike gave P his props for creating the sound of summer 2013❤️🖤💚 Two icons of different generations vibing. This is very much similar feel to the James Baldwin + Nikki Giovanni convo in London. This was dope🙌🏾

[@lateshiachilds3640]

I'm loving these interviews Pharrell.

[@fmcdomer]

everything comes to an end. learn that and you will live live to the fullest

[@Leepee91]

Spike Lee is fucking crazy - I love him!

[@kiamackenzee]

Pharrell HATE taking compliments, because he’s so humbled.

[@LeeBoros]

Inspiring!

[@HSVIRK]

pharrell's humility makes this type of interview great... he's humble, that's why i fucks with him.

[@11FBA11]

spike lee is awesome.

[@rightlung1]

The most refreshing thing in a while

[@8Questpuss]

LMFAO MAN ALL MY SERIOUSNESS JUST GOT THROWN AWAY WHEN THE NAKED WOMAN CAME IN LOL FUCK!!!

[@zhongtv]

legend

[@jamarlbryant1445]

Great interview

[@Zmoneeey]

DOPENESS!! REALLY ENJOYED THIS INTERVIEW!

[@realhardtruth]

Spike Lee is a legendary filmmaker.

[@wevoskick]

Pharrell is the type of young black to make me want to be educated.

[@empowermph]

deep talk, totally agree about parents supporting vs killing dreams. temporarily keeping distance from them while you work is best, though you dont wanna disappoint them, it can be best if their pessimism and antagonistic views during your career pursuit is slowing down your progress. We're all born for a specific reason and purpose, let no one, not even your own blood, stop you from your evolution. and church music influences, so true. today all modern gospel sounds like 90s R Kelly songs, the same bump n' grind style they opposed back then.

[@didibjj]

much respect for both these guys

[@je11re]

Love your interviews! This one has my heart pounding!! Amazing ! & Aries since birth 3/21 !! Love it

[@soniklava]

this interview is so beautiful

[@kiamackenzee]

This was good ! He actually draws you in when he speaks

[@0Moreno0]

I'm glad I came across this video, it just answered my question to the key of success.

[@MCBazFRESH]

The passion with which he talks about the Clyde Frazier Pumas!

[@rebelcode7697]

pharrell has to be one of the most eclectic and open minded people in the world. he can have a conversation with anyone

[@neptunesOC]

Why Someone will Vote a Vote Down on this Interview! This is Awesome & Wicked! History in the Making! Pharrell & Spike Lee.

[@ifgodwz1ovus]

Omg....the doctor, Vietta Johnson, works at St Margaret's hospital where I was born in1979....Omg. Omg.

[@MaffiosaTony1976]

lol I noticed that too, Pharells too polite so he just shuts up haha

[@jacklindvall]

I don't like the naked girl, it's funny seeing their reaction granted but it's just weird and awkward.

[@JoeTheViewer]

I was like, What The....

[@realtorforlouisiana]

agreed.. i get that they wanted something unexpected ... but in certain conversations, that's taking away from it... sometimes it fits, BUT IN THAT convo, it took away from what was going on

[@empowermph]

youre soft dude, girls dont like you more for taking their side, you'll be in 'just friends' zone quick. on the surface, girls will appear to agree with you, but inside, they want guys to just be a dude, and stay attracted to them on an Alpha male, primal level. men with low testosterone like you, dont seek legacy, power, nor women. this is the elite's ideal circumstances, turn men sensitive, or gay to each other, thorough media and social political correctness, so they dont have any competition from other men, and they get to keep the wealth and pro-creation of their own genes for generations to come. wake up and man up.

[@realtorforlouisiana]

a bit of a jump to assume that's what he was doing in the 1st place

[@jacklindvall]

Em x Photon Are you talking to me?

[@vshiipp]

Thank you for this.

[@Ishmaelgaynor]

i love this interview it was amazing

[@floralboy8626]

Parents can be the the dream killers of ambition, self-sabotage with self-destruction not a great homemade recipe.

[@charlette51]

Great Interview!! Pharrell Is Soooo Handsome! And Spike Well, He's My Favorite Film Director!

[@b7k1l8yn]

Spike's chuckle @ 27:00 priceless

[@jayjames1165]

Wait. Is there some back story to why a naked lady just gave them water?

[@rashidsentongo8419]

i always like to listen smart talks thanx.

[@luismoctezuma7120]

Simply amazing.

[@skeetmoses]

[@realhardtruth]

Perfect and on point

[@geraldanthonykelly]

Great interview!

[@MiguelExhale]

All of this knowledge these geniuses are dropping and it was kinda muddy with the naked woman. However, Spike’s reaction is priceless 😂😂

[@Funkologycc]

Kool

[@TheCreatorCollab]

My life Story 20:45 Spike Lee real Talk !!!!

[@blackberrycobbler4me]

me too. dream killers

[@syrus2014]

I totally agree. As a black woman who loves Spikes films I'm dumbfounded ....there should have been some objection by both men! They should not have permitted their kingship to be polluted with the tawdry and frivolous and demeaning . Shame. And shame on them.

[@danielkvillanueva]

FUCK WHAT PAGE IS THIS?! This is awesome! Spike and Pharrell talking creativity and the past... plus naked girls pouring drinks @27:00 Great show!

[@KrisJanJack]

PW, true Aries...in the highest regard. You do know Aries rules the ego and "them." Anyhoo, great interview. Thanks for sharing. Listen up, both of y'all...this has been HEAVY on my mind for a sometime now really stronger since seeing the TLC movie. Let's do the "Tami Terrell" movie. Yes, the UnSung is there but the movie? A must! Used to want Lil' Mo to play Tami, now? It's "Bondy Blue", she can really sing too. Please let's do this! Pusha T can play James Brown. Usher, Marvin. Leon, David

[@IJAbraham]

"Birth of a Nation", the film.

[@jermain716]

Wow

[@Whatisright]

Spike Lee droppin the truth like Allan Watts. Don't do it for the money.

[@FTMuisikTV]

LOL Moment 1 (06:00) Spike: "It was hot as SHIT! we can say that word? Pharrell: "Sure!" Spike: *Profanity* "Hot as SHIT!..

[@4SZZN]

Maybe i missed it but are they saving the part where he speaks about Denzel for another episode or a part 2?

[@DrivingDallas214]

i need the uncensored version yo...

[@thebestofmosdef]

Pharrell's never seen "Killer of Sheep"??? DAG!!!

[@bluemarvel4601]

To serve the black man 👍👍

[@IJAbraham]

"Musicians are the closest to God"! Spike Lee (2014).

[@SayconTalks]

I've written my best songs on flights as well..Spike & Pharrell yes.. lol I'm surprised no one has commented on 26:54 yet? LOL Blurred lines indeed. Saycon Sengbloh

[@Saskiequelle]

Your profile pic was more interesting to me :)

[@MrGramz09]

Reserve channel, I am other, the trashlab, and jay z's KZbin channels are my favorites!!!! Oh and tastemade lol

[@shananagainandagain]
