Here's the context for the non-Nard nerds out there: At this point in 2008, Nard has been on Much Music (Canada's MTV) for seven years, but he's been doing interviews since the late '80s. He was very well known in Canada for his goofy personality and off-kilter questions but primarily he was known for his knowledge of rock music, in particular '60s garage rock and punk. Of course, these aren't the first rappers he's interviewed, there's the famous Snoop Dogg interviews, Ice Cube, Nas, etc. But Nard's ability to impress Pharrell here led to Pharrell telling Jay-Z he should talk to Nard. It was also not long after this that Nard no longer worked for Much Music but instead starting building up his TH-cam page. So, this interview is really a turning point in Nardwuar's career, it's the moment that the hip-hop world really started to pay attention to him and no longer laugh him off, as Pharrell even does initially. But he sticks with it and is clearly blown away by Nard's dedication and passion. Love you Nardwuar!
@@truelovewontwait Let's get it to the top of the comment section so everyone can read it! Nardwuar pinned the last one of these I wrote once it got enough attention
***** The one time I caught him revealing his source. He was interviewing Nirvana and Courtney Love asked him how he knew that. He said he read it in the book Come As You Are. After that Courtney stopped being a bitch (or less of a bitch) to him.
:Kraig Adkins, what can you tell us about this particular item right here? -Those are my keys! :Those are your keys, yes -But but... How did you find them, how did you know i lost them?! :You are Kraig Adkins, we have to know!
This is the level of recognition that Nardwuar deserves. Kudos to Pharrell for recognizing and paying compliments when respect is due. Carl Sagan! Chuck Norris!
after watching all the nardwuar interviews in the 90s, and seeing him get trashed... it's so satisfying to see his hard work come to fruition. Finally getting the respect he deserves.
Around 6:15 Pharrell's mind is completely blown. Defenses down, and honesty. Almost like a teenager again. Fucking, this is why Nardwaur is badass as all fuck.
This interview must be preserved at all costs forever. Actually uplifting to see the joy bouncing off of these three guys, I bet they made each others day.
I love how this guy is able to push everyone's buttons... not just in terms of his humor, but how he's able to make little connections that resonate with the different interviewees. In particular, seeing Pharrell light up when he broke out the Carl Sagan record was pretty great.
+emmie1995s Not just that, but you can really tell what a genuine, curious and perceptive person he is from this interview. Pretty much unfair considering his talent.
Pharrell almost shed a tear a few times in this interview. You can tell Nardwaur touched him and Pharrell appreciated the talent and dedication like no other interviewer plus it took him down memory lane as opposed to the regular clout chasing interview

you know, I think I know why these interviews are so impressive. Narwuar doesn't present these people as current music sensations, but instead presents them as individual history lessons. which is awesome. it gives the interviewer and the audience wayy more information about our subject.
I am very late to Narduwar but what I love about this interview is he’s so present and committed to making Pharrell feel special and recognized in a unique way; in addition to letting him finish every one of his thoughts & reactions. It’s actually a beautiful way to approach the world- selfless, generous, and making a thorough attempt at leaving a lasting, gratifying, unforgettable impression on a fellow human. Bravo.
It's amazing how humble Pharrell is. When he said "yes sir" on a question "you guys are called N.E.R.D" at 8:06. You can see that he's raised right and the fame didn't got to him at all.
It is part of his slang but pharrell is still a very humble and people focused person, I've been following his career for a while and he's never made something I haven't been impressed by and it's always cool to see him interact with people who are really good at what they do
This is how interviews are suppose to be..Nardwuar does his research and some interviewers don't they will probably ask about rumors. Nardwuar goes into depth about music ,about there childhood , even about things we didn't even know as fans and some artist didn't even know what he even know.
I AM DA TONE Great interview. I'm glad Pharrell acknowledged it too, Nuard has a lot of great interviews with in depth research but some artists are nonchalant and dismissive towards his efforts.
He begins with Pharrell's childhood and then goes through his life, puts everything in his lap, completely catching him off guard and leading him into a stage of nostalgia, irritation...
The beginning of this interview into the transition is so fascinating to me. You have two giants of their craft, one who knows where it's going, and one who thinks it's a normal interview, I can see Nard feeling the tension, so he brings himself down and makes fun of himself, knowing he has about 10 trap cards in his back pocket, and Pharrell naively takes the bait. Then the outer shell of Pharrell drops, which you normally need for bad interviewers trying to get a soundbite for TMZ, as soon as Nard starts bringing out the old memories. It's an incredibly interesting power dynamic to me that resolves from mutual antagonizing to mutual respect, one of my favorite interviews ever. I loved both Pharrell's music and Nardwuar's interview before I saw this, but the interview just cemented those.
Pharrell was likely a kid who watched Cosmos when it was on. Cosmos was a great show that helped kids see the wonder of science. Carl Sagan was terrific at spreading science and making it palatable to the general public. I wish he was still around.
This exchange epitomizes a growing mutual respect as the interview progresses, truly great to watch and appreciate. I believe this was the foundation of Pharrell's friendship with Nardwar
I still come to this video every so often to witness 2 things: 1) How humble and authentic both Pharrell and Shay are. But especially Pharrell. He seems like such a sincere laid back dude. Like down to earth as fuck and super approachable.. the perfect person to drink a few beers with. 2) The reaction of Pharrell as Nawdwuar slowly uncovers hidden gem after hidden gem of underground information as the interview progresses. It’s clearly stuff that means a lot to them and he’s just so fucking blown away. And seeing Pharrell’s genuine appreciation and acknowledgment of how much work Nardwuar put into bringing all of that together is so satisfying. This is easily the interview that made me realize Nardwuar should be taken seriously. He isn’t just some shticky gimmicky goofball.. but a mad scientist with underrated talent and crazy work ethic. And it’s all thanks to Pharell
Pharrell’s entire vibe this whole interview was on a whole other level like I’d don’t even know how to describe it like he seems like an awesome person and the appreciation he shows and everything it’s just cool man
I wish everyone reacted the way Pharell does and NERD....this speaks volumes for what type of guy Pharell is....some of the artists act too cool for Nardwaur and I hate that...Nas is the only person I give a pass on the way he reacted because he's Nas
Nardwuar always seems so real and it's like he never means to offend anybody in his interviews. This guy is awesome, and i would really love to see even longer interviews ... I mean it's always really interesting cuz' he's done a lot of research before the interview and he AND the artist he's interviewing are always telling you something new and really interesting ... well, that's it. Narwuar is awesome ! DOOO TOOOOO :D
Nardwuar logic: 1) establish connection by giving them something to laugh at 2) build trust by talking about their childhood memories 3) once trust is established, make fun of them
I watched this interview about 5 times over the last months...and it never gets old. It's amazing to see how Pharrell (one of the biggest geniuses of our times) gets blown away by Nardwuar research!
I really like that he wanted to know about Nardwuar’s name, such a small detail but you can genuinely hear the curiosity in his voice. That’s often not something he receives on his end.
It's crazy to know how much this interview affected Nardwuar now. I think it means a lot how to Nardwuar much this interview meant to Pharrell because this is still Nardwuar in his beginning stages. I think this really shaped Nardwuar and helped reinforce how great an interviewer he is now. It's nice to see two hardworking individuals affect each other this much.
Always come back to this every so often. Such an uplifting video. Nardwuar finally got the true recognition he deserves. It’s beautiful. Also overlooked is how he keeps Shay in the video when let’s get real… no one really knows of him. Seems like a good guy though
I remember the first time i saw this and i instantly thought that Pharrell would not react well to Nardwuar. To see him really kind of appreciate the knowledge and bizarre approach is what makes this one of the best interviews he has done.
Pharrell clearly doesn’t like his first impression of Nardwuar. He grinds him about his name and Nardwuar just rolls through. It doesn’t take long for Pharrell to realize that when you’re great at what you do, you call the shots. It’s kind of like going to shithole looking restaurant, regretting being there, then eating the best meal of your life. Pharrell doesn’t even want to do an interview part way through, he just wants to shower Nardwuar with praise!
I’ve been to that restaurant and after eating I suddenly realized how everything I thought was terrible about the place was actually perfect. Because it just all fit together but I was too blind to see it.
always loved this one pharrell is just blown away how many interviews does the interviewed just stand speechless in awe of the research of the questions nardwaur a cold beast
Man, don’t know why, but only found Nardwuar’s interviews just this month. And yeah, been binge watching it. Thanks for this man. Hope you’re alright this 2020
I wish they would show the entire interview. At the end you can see pharell with that "incredible bongo band" album featuring the apache break, so they obviously left that part out
i love how pharrell appreciates talent no matter what the form

I really appreciate this dude. Watching it with this context is just amazing
Pharrell's reaction is priceless.
I felt Pharrell wasn't respecting him in the beginning. That caused him to be blown away.
At least in the end he was so blown away that he hooked nardwuar up with Jay Z. I wish Nardwuar had more tome to do his research on him.
He was super respectful and asking politely about his name even. I don't get saying no respect.
James Richards yeah but when bro starts growling his name u could see Pharrells reaction is like wtf... 😂
sleeper Yeah but who wouldn't. Pharrell was respectful and respectfully responding the entire Interview.
this guy was wikipedia before wikipedia
lmao great comment
hahahaha
sick ass comment
one mistake: it's EDGAR Cayce- and Edgar is a f*cking legend.
that would be called an encyclopedia. Shame you missed out on them.
Pharrell's reaction puts the biggiest smile on my face. Nardwuar is thee best interviewer of all time. hands down.
I agree. his reaction makes this interview so fun to watch. I've watched it a dozen times just to see Pharrell light up
Eric Andre is good too though, maybe a little juvenile but confusing a guest is a pretty effective interview tactic.
Have you not seen questlove?
Sean Evans from Hot Ones is definitely getting up there too
And kids think that Sean Evans from hot wings is the shit. No fucking way.
Nardwuar is like a magician never showing how he does his tricks.
***** The one time I caught him revealing his source. He was interviewing Nirvana and Courtney Love asked him how he knew that. He said he read it in the book Come As You Are. After that Courtney stopped being a bitch (or less of a bitch) to him.
Mark Macmillan I'll have to check that out. Thanks.
Mark Macmillan he clearly states that in Narduwar v. Nirvana... Amazing "discovery" 20 years later
camelspider99 who shit in your cereal bowl?
It might not have been released when you commented this but he talks about how he finds Information in his TED talk
Pharrell got Nardwuar an early interview with Jay Z purely off how incredible this interview was.
+Llama -->Unfortunately that lead the Jay Z interview to not be so good as Nuard didn't have much time to prepare.
+ally blap yeah but to be fair, it was still better than most of the same generic interviews that everyone does.
yea and Jay-Z was kind of a Dick most of the interview..he didn't even realize he was talking with his cigar in his mouth until a few questions in
@@shanetheclassic was not his fault. he wasn't prepared for nard
@@TheChosenMoose01 no one is prepared for Nard that's the whole point

Johnny Hansen the questlove one is amazing tho
+Johnny Hansen nah bro lil waynes is entertaining af, and j cole and kendrick ar both gold
Andrew Gomez weird al interview is pretty good since they are basically the same person
Still relevant
I love every Snoop one though for fun and the chemistry. This one for Pharrell's graciousness and impressed attitude.
the more the person loves music in general, the more the interview is amazing. this one is almost my favorite.
I think the one with questlove is my favorite because of that. It's like two music encyclopedias having a chat, for 45 awesome minutes. It's insane.
@@Mrdest211 that is also top 3 cause he was giving nardwuar facts
"Nardwuar is like a dumb stupid name like Sting" lmfaoo
kg21mack Yeah, that shit was hardcore. I wish Sting watched that, getting trolled by Nardy.
it's amazing how he came up with that reply, on the spot.
did a spit take when he said that and I wasn't even drinking anything
Why do I feel like he's hiding something tho lol
Lol wouldn’t be surprised if Sting turned down an interview with him or something
I am very late to Narduwar but what I love about this interview is he’s so present and committed to making Pharrell feel special and recognized in a unique way; in addition to letting him finish every one of his thoughts & reactions.
It’s actually a beautiful way to approach the world- selfless, generous, and making a thorough attempt at leaving a lasting, gratifying, unforgettable impression on a fellow human. Bravo.
Pharrell went from, "this dude a loser" to "this dude is amazing" real quick lol. I remember watching this year ago, still dope to watch.
I have watched this video way more times than an interview is supposed to be watched...
Right?
Sean Connery about slapping women. #Classic

5:30 - Pharrell’s reaction is priceless when the rumpshaker album comes out. Love how setback he is by the gifts. Pure genuine.

This is like a Nardwuar origins story for me right now!
***** Haha I feel like I have his Rookie Card now.

Most impressive interview in the history of interviews. Nardwuar might be the most underrated guy on the planet.
He is a Serviette, he cleans up what Musicians forget haha.
😂😂😂
Actually he got a whole croud to spot on him in the early days ,then he was just nardwar...
The beginning of this interview into the transition is so fascinating to me.

This is the best interview I've ever seen. Go Nardwuar...you're the bar for music journalism.
Craft > commerce. +1,000,000xp
I can't believe Pharrell likes Carl Sagan. Sagan is my hero and I have never heard a musician talk about him. I have to look into his music now
lol
look up Greydon Square
Grayson Square is a must
Pharrell was likely a kid who watched Cosmos when it was on. Cosmos was a great show that helped kids see the wonder of science. Carl Sagan was terrific at spreading science and making it palatable to the general public. I wish he was still around.
Pharrell and his group were all about space and science.

This will go down in history as one of the most legendary interviews ever given.
The way Nardwuar tied Mork and Mindy with Carl Sagan into explaining the origin of the N.E.R.D name was God tier.
I like how Nardwuar started off poorly in this interview and then completely amazed them.
Jessee D lmao
in their eyes the clown became a magic clown
He didn’t start off poorly, they just thought they were being trolled so they were reluctant to press forward until he we verified gangster.
Pharrell’s entire vibe this whole interview was on a whole other level like I’d don’t even know how to describe it like he seems like an awesome person and the appreciation he shows and everything it’s just cool man

I watch this video every couple of weeks. Nardwuar is a national treasure. His contributions to music journalism are unmatched.
What this is, is not an interview. This is two amazing artists/performers appreciating and celebrating each other.
Nardwuar always seems so real and it's like he never means to offend anybody in his interviews. This guy is awesome, and i would really love to see even longer interviews ... I mean it's always really interesting cuz' he's done a lot of research before the interview and he AND the artist he's interviewing are always telling you something new and really interesting ... well, that's it. Narwuar is awesome ! DOOO TOOOOO :D
I love how personable how Pharrell is. Dude won me over as a fan just for how human he was. Love it.
Nardwuar logic:
1) establish connection by giving them something to laugh at
2) build trust by talking about their childhood memories
3) once trust is established, make fun of them

Pharrell clearly doesn’t like his first impression of Nardwuar. He grinds him about his name and Nardwuar just rolls through. It doesn’t take long for Pharrell to realize that when you’re great at what you do, you call the shots.
It’s kind of like going to shithole looking restaurant, regretting being there, then eating the best meal of your life.
Pharrell doesn’t even want to do an interview part way through, he just wants to shower Nardwuar with praise!
You thought he was grinding him? I just thought Pharrell was genuinely interested about the origins of his name.
I’ve been to that restaurant and after eating I suddenly realized how everything I thought was terrible about the place was actually perfect. Because it just all fit together but I was too blind to see it.
@@OzoneGamerStation who the fuck invited mr idgaf lmao
@@onfim3305 I got that reference
You misread the situation. That’s not what happened here.
always loved this one pharrell is just blown away how many interviews does the interviewed just stand speechless in awe of the research of the questions nardwaur a cold beast
NEW MUSIC VIDEO OUT NOW ❗❗ th-cam.com/video/PH09qtoyaac/w-d-xo.html 👈🏽👈🏽🔥
Pharrells expressions were so genuine
D...stands for Damn...
this is one of the best interviews i have ever seen
My favorite is the “doot doo” at the end, he’s so mentally stunned still by all the random details he knew so he just lets it out.
Man, don’t know why, but only found Nardwuar’s interviews just this month. And yeah, been binge watching it. Thanks for this man. Hope you’re alright this 2020
It's nice to see how humble Pharrel is. And he's so appreciative of Nardwuars' unbelievable craft 👏 just cool dudes shooting the shit
if yall saw the movie you'd know why the carl sagan vinyl was so important
Im from 3023, Nardwurd still taking interviews.
Incredible
Thx, nice 2 know
I would love to see Nardwuar on "cribs" to see where he keeps all that stuff XD
Alison Isaac he lives in a safe with shit that he keeps for interviews 😂
I wish they would show the entire interview. At the end you can see pharell with that "incredible bongo band" album featuring the apache break, so they obviously left that part out
this interview probably inspired that genius lego film Piece by Piece. . . Nardwuar, you truly are the GOAT.
