I'm a mixed kid (white/black) and grew up listening to both rap/hip-hop and rock (I naturally gravitated to metal as I got older). When I tell someone that I fuck with both genres equally, no one seems to get it but things like N.E.R.D. and Rage Against the Machine can satisfy the craving for both. I mean, come on, it's just so damn cool to mix genres together !! 🔥🔥🔥
@@jessestarnes4564 amen! And in the 80s-00s, both genres rocked with each other ex. Public Enemy Anthrax/Rage Against The Machine/Cypress Hill/Metallica
amen bro... ive been a n.e.r.d/Neptune fan since 2001... and as years have gone by pharell and n.e.r.d have just gotten worse lol.. the new 2017 n.e.r.d album sounds so shit... seems to me they totally destroyed their classic rock , rap vibe with a touch of Neptune sound...... they should of made the 2017 n.e.r.d album with spymob again Reply
+induplicable This wasn't slept on at all. I didn't become a fan of rap until almost 10 years after this song came out, and when I came across it again I remembered hearing it everywhere back in the day. Also, there are over 1500 comments on this video, they just aren't showing up for some reason.
MTV used to play this video all the time when this song came out. This song wasn't slept on, but N.E.R.D as a band certainly was. People expected their sound to be like what they heard in The Neptunes beats. If listeners didn't approach N.E.R.D's music with an open-mind, they were sorely disappointed. Personally, I love their albums.
Sucks to see that most of the people don't even know about this part of Pharell's career, since this was way better than what he does now. (Don't get me wrong, i like his new stuff, but this....THIS.)
Your so right.... i remember being like 10/11 when this was on mtv.... and everytime the video used to come on I used to go crazy with my brother and sisters lol Im just glad i grew up in the late 90s early 2000s best music in all genres at that time....

How?? This is extremely dumbed down compared to other bands in the genre at the time. Example?? Check out the album "Orphan", by Darwin's Waiting Room.
@@EMMmaximino forget RATM what about the band Miocene?? Check out their self-titled full-length. It's got trip-hop beats and is like a mix between The Crystal Method, NIN, Tool, and RATM especially.
I'm 52. My daughter turned me on to Pharrell's unique and awesome talent 10 years ago. There is no one else like him. A combination of not only having a great singing voice but this man can sing, write, compose, choreograph, produce. What else can I say. He is the total package plus a very humble person. Kudos to Pharrell Williams. I am happy he is FINALLY getting the credit he has been deserved for so long! Godspeed Pharrell! You are one in a million!!!!!!!!
I used to have a pic of him in this outfit on Facebook years ago. He was splattered all over my myspace too. He inspired the guys in Odd Future a lot. You can tell.
@Noobiie69: Pharrell wrote "Happy" for Cee-Lo Green to perform as one of his own songs, but Cee Lo's producers denied the single saying that Green had to focus on his new material. And Pharrell is a ghost writer for MANY people, he doesn't have people write music for him, he writes his own lyrics, always has and always will.
This was the dopest album in years. When i was in the army. We would jam this in the barracks. Then he had his singles, N i would play this to people. They were blown over. Nerd was shizzzz.
Randy Quaid is everything I needed him to be for this role. Thank you Sir, for the crouch shots and strong demeaner. Shoutout to @N.E.R.D. for the classic!
Love this song ... keep coming back to it... keep singing it... keep forget and singing aloud "Guess you ain't heard that we swallow guys" ... Go quiet and red in my face even though nobody can hear me.
I just heard a TI song and thought he was underrated and wondered who else was and Pharrell Williams hit my brain which then reminded me he was in NERD first and then here I am....I'm also incredibly fucking high right now😅 I also really felt like it needed to be documented NOW to be re-read later when I'm sober when someone comments on it😂 Future sober me might really Hate high me if this blows up😂
God Pharrell was fucking unstoppable with the fashion and music back in these days...i mean he still is...but...idk he was like a god to me when i was young back in these days
Sitting in my room before school creating art the world will love, finding this for the first time. P, it’s almost over now. I’m putting in the work. It’s only a matter of time now👐🖖
Obviously a lot of you know nothing of Pharrell's background and starting as a producer far before N.E.R.D. He and Timbaland were in group back in high school when Pharrell co produced Rump Shaker for Wrecks n Effect. Pharrell always loved this type of music do to his upbringing in Virginia Beach. N.E.R.D was expansion of the Neptunes
Al B Hell yeah . Actually played that song yesterday when I was bopping around doing my housework Totally forgot about them producing it thanks for remind me 🙃
Oh yeah, Virginia Beach, the city of people who never left after high school. They don't have a culture other than a watered down version of what they wish they had.
Yep, I remember when he went to Princess Anne high school. He still shows up sometimes. A lot of my friends used to party with him. I wasn't quite old enough lol.
Oh God.. memories of me and one of my best friends singing this song 1,000,000 times on Guitar/Band Hero xx jajajajaja. Never thought a song like this could be considered Nostalgic... but, indeed it is :P
I used to love N.E.R.D in like sixth grade or seventh grade. Went to their show on the Sprite Liquid Mix Tour or whatever it was called. Pharell has changed a lot.

N*E*R*D, the best rap-rock band no one ever talks about
We talk about ‘em ♥️
More than rap n rock N*E"R*D brought the FUNK!
Virginia Beach represent!!!
They have a rival...they are named The Naptunes
def better than linkin park, more orginal
That classic Neptune sound !
I swear Pherrel Williams is one of ten coolest people to have ever walked this earth.
Its because he swallows guys
he really is, gets along w/ everybodyyy while still having his own style
and he was very cute too
Yea
He never ages 😂

Yes and, the two genres aren't nearly as far apart as people think they are. Different energy: Same Vibe.
Rock and roll is black music 🤷🏾♂️
it became overwhelmingly white over time and whites created their own style with it man stop discrediting people @@whfmantis

An entire genre in one song
Still one of my favourite beats. Love this song.

Nou IT'S NOT JUST FREAKING PHARRELL
I cant describe how much i agree with your comment. So much so it hurts....
They need to bring this type of music back
They were def. in a league of their own.
ThePresidentOfTheUnitedStaighёyts I don't know anyone else that made this type of music ever lol
Tyler is inspired by them and you can hear it in his instrumentals
ThaWhite Mamba NERD didn’t create rap/rock
@@10xWhiteMamba gym class heroes and oddfuture were similar imo
this song is still killer ... & the lyrics apply more now than ever !

These dudes embodied the 757 in the early 2000's, i love City 🏙️
Underrated song. I remember when this came out it got some OK airplay on the radio but nothing compared to what other shitty stuff got.
I love the way they bring "Rock" into this song ... HardRock DRUMS are kicking ASS!!!
super underrated. this song is fire
I miss N.E.R.D.
Oh, man, what a cool and funky production style these two have.
I used to have a pic of him in this outfit on Facebook years ago.
He was splattered all over my myspace too.
He inspired the guys in Odd Future a lot. You can tell.
How fun to watch this back all these years later. Never have I ever type of fun.
It's good to see stuff like this again. Been awhile.😂😂😂
A Rock Star NEVER dies just as the Legend will NEVER die.
It never gets old. All these years later.

really worrying that people are questioning if this is Pharell.......where were you guys when he actually produced good music?
I know, I feel like youtube is full of 12 year olds

Yeah IKR
fucking losers
He still does, you just don't listen to it.
Aaah, music. I remember the old days.
Heard this album soo often as a teen & his neptunes album 🙏🏻🤩
Holy shit a Hip Hop Song played with Rock Instruments. Thats Fresh.
word.
they re-recorded this version. original was mostly digitally produced.
I want a new N.E.R.D album!!!!
Nerd stands for no one ever really dies. Thats why Pharrell looks the same for the past 3 million years
