I been listening to N.E R.D. since middle school. I am 34 yo. I finally got to meet at the Hollywood bowl when he had a concert with Bruno Mars. Pharrell really is the way he portrays himself. He is really humble and down to earth.
Yeah he definitely is! i met him years ago, like '06ish, in philly... and he was sooo cool and just so chill & down to earth, like i felt like i was talking to just a regular guy that I had known for years. i treasure that moment forever.
Darrell Holmes not only that he also took inspiration from the way he dressed and his music videos. Well I’m not sure if Pharrell directs his own videos but I see a similarity with the bright colors and everything.
Pharrell literally made it cool to be a black person into shit I like skating bmx punk rock bright colors and I’m from Maryland so I go va beach and Norfolk often for concerts and comedy shows and cheap shopping
It's crazy. I wasn't even old enough to listen or even get to know NERD or the Neptune's back in 2004. I was still in elementary school. And finding their music from the time I was about 17 and now @ 22 is really awesome. The melodies, beats and sounds are almost timeless for me because its all so relevant.. in my opinion at least. Songs like Jump, Happy (off the seeing sounds album) and fly or die sound ike the songs I needed when I started high school.
its funny to see how P has changed style so much during those years. The way he was rocking Bape was fucking cool... definitely miss those times, but yeah, this is inspiring to watch, makes me want to wear it again, haha.
So motivating,I'm from va beach and played in the band myself and I've been wear bape BBC baby milo ice cream since day 1. Pharrell has always been himself and was even ahead of his own time
What high school did he go to? I can't remember. I know Chad was a Kempsville grad but I couldn't remember if Pharrell was as well. Missy Elliot was from a school nearby as well. Can't think of the name of that school either.
having just turned 15 right now and being a huge NERD fan make me wish that i was able to see just how influential he was at the time. i love that i love NERD and not many people my age know who they are. it makes me feel like i’m apart of some secret club and watching this documentary from one of the small corners of the world makes me realise how just awesome pharrell and chad and shay are. it’s not just their music. i love pharrell’s bbc line and the things he’s done for the community he’s surrounded by.
i just graduated high school and have grown up listening to NERD since I was basically born (in 2004) I love their music and also wish I was there in that time to witness how influential they were in that era. I totally agree with you that its not only the music that makes them great. Its crazy that pharrell has influenced so much in our gens pop culture but I don't think many people see that yet. Love to see people my age love NERD too.
I'm happy that Pharrell was my ultimate hero during my youth. I've achieved success, steer clear of drugs and excessive drinking, and lead a healthy lifestyle. I vividly remember being 19, sitting in my car, listening to "Push People," and dreaming of becoming a successful manager in a big city, while grappling with the contrasting dream of my girlfriend who wanted to remain in our village and start a family. We each pursued our own paths, and I'm grateful that this music served as a catalyst for me to achieve these goals. For me so many neptunesbeats sounded like "big business"... I wanted to be part of this. Today I didn´t see it through this romantic glasses, because I suffered a lot to get where I am... But lIstening to this song again after 13 years was funny... thanks pharrell
So you like those boots and mask ye wears? I will agree with pharrell's style, I just can't bring myself to like ye's style but it maybe bc I've never cared for him. I mean I'd be a fool to say he hasn't written some good music but the the music of his I like I could probably count on my hands. Not hating, just my opinion and happy for him that he is able to make a living on something he loves to do, I'll never hate on that whether I like or dislike someone's art. What with ye's style do you like?
@@KingAbel510 fair enough but it actually was "was/is" and I know in the middle of my comment I drifted to music but whenever I stated style I was referring to fashion style. If you meant ye's old fashion style, like the pink polos time frame, I dug that shit.
@@djbrotherelectric his as well as Pharrell’s and my main point being was how it was visionary. Both of their fashion and music sense even back then is still applicable now. And how they’re still both valid in the industries of both music and fashion today. Say what you want about those “boots” YZY brand for Adidas was probably the highest selling shoe in the world at a point. Don’t really have much to say about opinion yours or mine in the words of JayZ men lie women lie numbers don’t. ✌🏽
nerduwell nah but my boy P was whipping a phantom back in 04 , he never mentions the Enzo tho . its sad cuz that how I remember him . I remember my boy P as being a man of many trades

Where is dude that spit that Verse......45:00 y call push. When you there......we all start from somewhere.....it's not all always about talent there is alot of TALENT out here .....Ye/Kanye started to gai. Notoriety as a PRODUCER....NOW LOOK'
This really means a lot to me how this man can have a real impact on my life thanks to his music and words, he just changed the way I see things and my life in general, belive it or not. I'm very grateful and I'll forever be. Forever Star Trak .
me too. I was 18 when "in search of" dropped.... that album made me feel like I was the cool one and not the anime loving nerd that I was. The music changed how i talked to girls. it gave me confidence
Just seeing this in 2020. I remember this era of Pharrell. I was 11 at the time and my older brother had shown me the video to She Wants to Move. I thought it was the coolest video ever and I've been in love with Pharrell and N.E.R.D every since. My brother passed away last year and among other amazing things, I'll never forget him introducing me to their music. RIP Jarvis❤ #NERD4ever

They just cause disruption to most people. But if you give them a place and say this is your place, then they're going to have fun and won't cause problems in other places. " 43:34 "It's about bragging, a true philanthropist just does his work. The biggest giver in the world is anonymous.

its been 7 years since the last album .. any news when the new one supposed to be coming. its a shame they don't go back to their roots and make another album with spymob and Neptune sounds.
One of the best eclectic artist of all times he can make a beat, sing, rap, play different instruments, he got is own universe, on the stage his a beast what else can he do?
Ironically, N.E.R.D. died over ownership of the trademark issues. NERD was the most influential group in my most informative times. I couldn't understand why they were a niche thing. Best times of my life though.
Just now getting into creators such as Pharrell Virgil Rocky, I can’t believe the insane amount of knowledge they possess and how generous they are with it. Soon

Holy shoot, Tyler the Creator took so many sounds from Pharell, it's astounding the similarities. Brilliant.
Lil' Bane yea tyler basically took his style n flipped it around into his own thing.
They work together on a few projects
Darrell Holmes not only that he also took inspiration from the way he dressed and his music videos. Well I’m not sure if Pharrell directs his own videos but I see a similarity with the bright colors and everything.
Also why he loves rolls Royce so much
