Pharrel Williams Overexposure

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

Alright, so he produces....yeah, great, but isn't he the least bit concenred of spreading himself too thin? I can't count the sheer avalance of cameo appearances he's logged on other peoples' records. I mean, give it a rest.

Also, it's not like his voice is all that great. Seems awfully thin to me.

Discuss.

I wondered if he was deliberately trying to look dorky in the Timberlake video

― James Blount (James Blount), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 22:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, I feel obligated to come to mr. Williams defense since I still haven't grown tired of the neptunes sound, I always point to their work as an example of top 40 clearly kicking indie ass in sonic/artistic innovation. However, Pharrel must be super coked up if he fails to recognize his dorkish behavior as of late. Seeing him prance smugly through Snoop's Beautiful video greatly increases his punchability factor for me.

― theodore fogelsanger, Wednesday, 16 April 2003 23:03 (twenty-two years ago)

shitty lyricist, decent producer, tired Curtis Mayfield-rip-off vocalist, doesn't particularly excite me as a visual presence (and I'm not picky, I think Puffy is terrific on MTV). I don't care if I ever see him, hear his voice again. And I'm not DYING for more beats, though I'd probably take them.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 23:04 (twenty-two years ago)

I think he's gorgeous and I like his shtick in videos. Maybe I haven't been watching enough MTV.

― Amateurist (amateurist), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 23:05 (twenty-two years ago)

also, the man participated in a homage to the movie Harlem Nights. This is not what we do.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 23:09 (twenty-two years ago)

he was already overexposed a year or so ago. visually and sonically - half of the neptunes stuff is great, half is complete and utter bollocks.

by the way: what do you guys make of 'provider'? in the first, and better, version, i was convinced that the lyrics were ironic ("i'm a rider, giiirl - and i love you!"), but with the new and analog mtv version, i'm not sure any more.

― Jay K (Jay K), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 23:37 (twenty-two years ago)

let's talk about chad hugo underexposure

― Honda (Honda), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 23:55 (twenty-two years ago)

that is not stupid! why is he never anywhere to be seen? is pharell putting him down? or does he really prefer that ps2 to getting out much?

― Jay K (Jay K), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 23:59 (twenty-two years ago)

ding-ding-ding!

― James Blount (James Blount), Thursday, 17 April 2003 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm perplexed by many of y'alls preference for NERD In Search of version 1. I like both versions but the rock out songs have more hooks, making the euopean version seem unfinished in comparison. I like both versions of Provider but Lapdance and Run to the Sun with the live instruments are tighter more danceable.

― theodore fogelsanger, Thursday, 17 April 2003 00:14 (twenty-two years ago)

my girlfriend thinks he is cute as well, but he looks awful with his head shaved in the 'Provider' video. i think it must be great to be Pharrell right now tho and i like what he's doing generally. yes he did look quite dorky dancing with Justin, notice that Pharrell doesnt seem afraid to put himself out like that - he's got that Nerd schtick and is not blinging like Puffy or Dre were although he's just as facey, here there and everywhere.

one thing that bugs me is how much Pharrell actually does in the studio. he seems a very dynamic inspiring ideas man whereas Chad Hugo is the silent engineer mastermind who actually makes it all happen. i'm not sure how they work live, but Pharrell's obviously a jack of all trades - he does a passable Curtis Mayfield impression on one of those Nike adverts, and the voice is something different at least.

― stevem (blueski), Thursday, 17 April 2003 00:25 (twenty-two years ago)

i still think that provider was ambiguous and dangereous on the first album. on the second, it's just plain nice.

― Jay K (Jay K), Thursday, 17 April 2003 00:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Come to think of it, I do miss the sampled voice of the little girl that opens the first version. Perhaps it would have been more interesting if they had kept some of the electronic versions along side of the rerecordings. I heard the rerecorded version first and I immediately assumed that all of the lyrics were ironic, if not playfully menacing.

― theodore fogelsanger, Thursday, 17 April 2003 00:43 (twenty-two years ago)

If you want to hear Chad Hugo's influence as a producer, check out "New Sacred Cow" by Kenna, which has been eBay available since the tail end of 2001. It's a great record that has yet to be released, although Sony has it on their schedule for late May/early June. Hearing Kenna's stuff lets you know that Hugo is quite active in the "Neptunes Sound." However, Pharrell is the one who my girlfriend showed her breasts to -- long story -- so never underestimate the power of "the sexy," I guess.

― Erick H (Erick H), Thursday, 17 April 2003 01:18 (twenty-two years ago)

jesus, people were asking for the kenna album when I still worked at a record store (2001) - it's still not out?

and, ahem, you must tell that story

― James Blount (James Blount), Thursday, 17 April 2003 01:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Well...the truncated version is that Pharrell heads up her "list" -- the list of "I'd-screw-that-famous-person-if-I-had-the-chance" that couples comfortable in their relationship all have -- so when we talked to Pharrell after a NERD show, she gave him a lil' show. I didn't pay much attention at the time, considering that (A) I'd seen her breasts before and (B) I was chatting up Kelis, who is even hotter in person than in the videos. I mean, a fella's gotta have his list, too.

And as far as Kenna goes, Universal really screwed him over...people actually wanted the record when "Hell-Bent" was receiving MTV airplay, but they lost that juice real fast. I always hate seeing majors do that to cool records, but the Kenna fiasco seemed especially egregious. What a bummer.

― Erick H (Erick H), Thursday, 17 April 2003 01:28 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah, that whole Kenna situation is a bummer. didn't he switch labels recently? if it ever comes out, i'll definitely buy it. Chad came hard with those beats, seriously. as for Pharrell being the public face, i'd imagine that's just their personality types. one wants to be out front, the other's happy staying on the low.

but yeah, Pharrell's video ubuiquity may soon eclipse that of Puffy circa '97. but eh, i got no beef, let him do his thing. i have to admire anyone who can get on MTV looking as dorky as he does in the "Excuse Me Miss" video.

― Al (sitcom), Thursday, 17 April 2003 01:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Pharrell is the Phil Spector of the early 21st century.

re: pharrell williams' oft-mentioned dork-factor, here's a statement from the nerd www.

We call ourselves N*E*R*D because we have a different view of life. A nerd is someone who wants to be cool to everybody but it's not his fault he's witty and smart and his social skills aren't the best. If you ever listen to a nerd speak about their experiences in high school, they tell an ill story. They have an ill perspective because of the shit they've been through. You ask the average person, the kind of people that would tease nerds in high school, you ask them what their life is like and they'll give this bullshit, lame boring ass story you'll snore to. I don't mind being called a nerd. We are the people who are proud of being smart, being witty and being clever when everyone else doesn't understand. That's what we do, that's the flag we're raising and waving.

― brian badword (badwords), Thursday, 17 April 2003 04:23 (twenty-two years ago)

does anyone else think the production on the snoop track is zzzz?

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Thursday, 17 April 2003 04:31 (twenty-two years ago)

'excuse me miss' sucks bad too

― d k (d k), Thursday, 17 April 2003 04:34 (twenty-two years ago)

"beautiful" doesn't really grab me by the wang like some of their other stuff but i like it ok, i guess.

i feel pretty ehhh about "excuse me miss" on the other hand.

and only partly due to my preference for snoop over jay-z.

i can't even remember what "excuse me miss" sounds like in fact, and i've surely heard it fifteen or twenty times.

― brian badword (badwords), Thursday, 17 April 2003 04:44 (twenty-two years ago)

ditto

― James Blount (James Blount), Thursday, 17 April 2003 04:50 (twenty-two years ago)

I actually like "excuse me" plenty -- it sounds so smoov and I love the swooping synth thing -- it's like joy division's Atmosphere but sexy.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Thursday, 17 April 2003 05:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Over-exposure maybe, but Pharrell must have a sense of humor about it seeing him like a winking lounge singer in the new Jay-Z video. I'd rather see his mug than most others on the video channels.

In all interviews, the Neptunes stress that they both work equally on the productions. I don't think Pharrell's visibility should be interpreted like he either does everything or that lets Chad Hugo do all the "real work".

Kenna was signed to Flip Records, Lim Bikzit's Interscope-affiliated label...

― JoB (JoB), Thursday, 17 April 2003 07:00 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm with Sterling re 'Excuse Me Miss'

thing is its hard to imagine Pharrell having all this time to appear in so many videos AND work in the studio as much as Chad Hugo (just like with uber-posers Puff and Dre)...but his influence is obviously there in everything they do

― stevem (blueski), Thursday, 17 April 2003 07:51 (twenty-two years ago)

i read somewhere that chad does the beats and arrangements and pharell does melodies and choruses (which are admittedly the two parts that make the difference between a good neptunes track and a great one).

― edward (big E.D), Thursday, 17 April 2003 08:51 (twenty-two years ago)

that bloke's got a wonky mouth.

― piscesboy, Thursday, 17 April 2003 10:44 (twenty-two years ago)

did you notice that on Justin Timberlake's 'Last Night' there's a little music-box/xylophonic melody that is basically just 'Do the Hustle'?

― stevem (blueski), Thursday, 17 April 2003 10:53 (twenty-two years ago)

what's the deal with the two nike adverts soundtracked by nerd? are these new and unreleased songs?

― ss, Thursday, 17 April 2003 12:45 (twenty-two years ago)

yeh i think Nike commissioned them especially - there's a third one now too, the frisbee one

― stevem (blueski), Thursday, 17 April 2003 12:55 (twenty-two years ago)

t's like joy division's Atmosphere but
sexy.

DIE, BLASPHEMER, DIE!

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 17 April 2003 13:30 (twenty-two years ago)

you can't roll a blunt to Joy Division

― Al (sitcom), Thursday, 17 April 2003 15:45 (twenty-two years ago)

I read somewhere that chad does the beats and arrangements and pharell does melodies and choruses

I've interviewed N*E*R*D twice and on both occasions they explicitly denied this. The Nike song is downloadable from Nikefreestyle.com last time I checked.

― JoB (JoB), Thursday, 17 April 2003 15:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Excuse me miss rubbed me the wrong way intitially but now I think it's tops. It's all about the bass drum.

― theodore fogelsanger, Thursday, 17 April 2003 17:18 (twenty-two years ago)

all their contributions to the Blueprint2 were shockingly mediocre (although "Fuck All Nite" has a great chorus and the goofiness of the beat is endearing). the new beat they did for the "Excuse Me Miss" remix is a little better, though. "Nothin'" type drums and some nasty fuzz synths.

― Al (sitcom), Thursday, 17 April 2003 18:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Half of the Neptunes recent output is mediocre at best. For example:

Their recent Jay-Z stuff (not including 'Nigga Please')
Busta Rhymes: Call The Ambulance
The recent Snoop stuff (Title track OK, but not a Snoop track for sure)
Their song on the Sean Paul album
Their song on the Common album

... i could go un forever ...

Of course, the Clipse stuff, the Miss Jade song, Hot In Herre, their Justin stuff et al is undeniably OTM. I just guess that this is how it works with these guys. Prince's output had that dicotomy as well. He did pretty well, too.

― Jay K (Jay K), Friday, 18 April 2003 14:10 (twenty-two years ago)

"Fuck All Nite" and especially "Nigga Please" are both great - the latter is seriously *beyond* brilliant. And I love "Call The Ambulance" too - one of the few good songs on the new Busta, surely?

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Sunday, 20 April 2003 11:05 (twenty-two years ago)

the thing i love most about 'nigga please'?

"...it's too late for that"

― Chip Morningstar (bob), Sunday, 20 April 2003 12:46 (twenty-two years ago)

naw, the best bit is the bass trampoline underneath "that chick - that's me, that six - that's me, that boat - i had it on the mediterranean sea".

― juiceboxxx (juiceboxxx), Sunday, 20 April 2003 18:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Nigga Please great though it is, just sounds like a re-rub of Busta's 'As I Come Back'

― ss, Sunday, 20 April 2003 18:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Busta's 'As I Come Back'

which is k-quality!

― stevem (blueski), Sunday, 20 April 2003 18:52 (twenty-two years ago)

There was a Meet the Neptunes segment on Extra last night. (I was sick, okay?) It was incredibly boring -- they asked them about the people they've worked with and (amazingly!) got responses like "Yes, Britney's very nice, and very hard-working." The best one was Janet Jackson:

PHARRELL: I just love her tone, she has the greatest voice.
CHAD (dreamily): And she looks good.

That was the only thing Chad said the whole time.

― nabisco (nabisco), Sunday, 20 April 2003 19:00 (twenty-two years ago)

NB "Beautiful" still sounds like a half-formed attempt at something for the Timberlake record that they scrapped and then wound up kicking to Snoop. I still like it, though.

I like a shit ton of songs he's produced, and I like a lot of his songs, but there's this strange phenomenon whereabouts the better and more confident his falsetto gets the less I like to hear him using it.

Pharrell is so talented you gotta add extra L's and D's to the word to encapsulate his tallentted-osity.

― Michael Patrick Brady (Michael Patrick Brady), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 21:15 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't know what the haters are on about. Pharrell is great on "Change Clothes".

― o. nate (onate), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 21:25 (twenty-one years ago)

The difference between Pharrell overexposure and P. Diddy overexposure is that the former doesn't simply go "Yeah," or "uh huh" after every line that the main performer says.

― Michael Patrick Brady (Michael Patrick Brady), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 21:27 (twenty-one years ago)

I just love Pharrels face.. He´s just a teddybear.. I would give him a hug any time.
And the voice.. He could sing for me any day....

― SarahCphDk, Wednesday, 21 January 2004 20:38 (twenty-one years ago)

One thing I've never completely understoof, after listening to people like (early) RZA, (early) Timbaland, Organized Noise (did Outkast/Goodie Mobb etc)...why do so many people think his/their production is innovative? It's pretty obvious kick-kick-twang beat patterns, with carefully edited guitars and a falsetto on the chorus. Is it "innovative" cos it's so clean. It's good to dance to, but I don't get blown away listening to it in other situations, and neither does anyone else I know.
Is this just an example of non hip-hop critics finding a "way in" to hip hop?

― paulhw (paulhw), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 22:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Hmm, this is a very interesting question! I will not let it die. Anyone want to take a stab at it?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 22 January 2004 01:52 (twenty-one years ago)

i kinda like N*E*R*D* KINDA is the key word

― Dude (The Yellow Dart), Thursday, 22 January 2004 06:38 (twenty-one years ago)

N*E*R*D is the part of the Neptunes I like least. All their production jobs, even if they sound incredibly similar to their previous works, kill the dancefloor, far more than those mentioned, who seem to be more about being listened to than being danced to.

As to whether they're innovative, I'll leave that who know more about this kind of thing.

― Nick H (Nick H), Thursday, 22 January 2004 12:32 (twenty-one years ago)

I just think it's become one of those lazy, self-perpetuating music crit cliches. It fits nicely into the (false) idea that mainstream hip hop is now more innovative than the underground. People who write this seem to take pleasure in their own newfound revelling-in-popness.

― paulhw (paulhw), Thursday, 22 January 2004 15:07 (twenty-one years ago)

I'd be interested to test this. OK, so Pharrell earns millions per year, but so do we if we pool our resources. How many regulars are there on ILX? 100? 200? That's a lot of income.

I know Pharrell and I would say the "over-exposure" has come about due to the problems of his Startrak label's albums ALL getting pushed back to later and later dates, his "Dude... We're Going To Rio" DVD not coming out yet, the damage between he and Kelis as of late, and problems securing a safe haven for his creativity. So don't hate too much he's just a normal guy who works hard for his fucking money. I saw him last night and talked to him and he was so fucking tired we didn't get to hang out. He's always pushing pushing pushing and he doesn't stop moving or all his endevors would disappear and he would be used constantly. So it's not over exposure it's preservation. Give him a break and buy Fly or Die if you've only downloaded it please. Tks... DJ Patchwork

I can truly appreciate the beats of the neptunes and expected to hear just as enjoyable music when I went to see N.E.R.D. in concert. Instead I got terrible lyrics, and Pharrell thinking he is the next coming. I felt like i was at a Bobby Brown concert in 1988. N.E.R.D. definatley needs more work on the lyrics and performing and less effort in the swoon dept.

Most people that I know don't like him. They don't like him because of his voice (they say he sounds like a girl).They also say he doesn't have enough pimp.To me he doesn't need pimp.He has the looks and the voice.I'd do anything to meet him.
P.S.-Does anybody know where he is or will be next?

If I'm reading this right, there is a Pharrell solo album ready (even though, when Frontin' was a hit, he said he would never do one).

And I may be a Pharrell apologist, but "Exclusive Jam" (what a title!) by N*E*R*D on the new Gilles Peterson Presents the BBC Sessions double CD is possibly the worst thing I've heard this year. It goes on and on and the singing is terrible! I can't believe either party wanted to release this utter dud.

Is it okay if I consider this statement amazing?

I have to say I'm upset, because I saw this thread in New Answers and I assumed a release date had been announced or something. Booooo.
