Pharrell Williams

Never underestimate the power behind the element of surprise.

"Man, be a risk taker, number one, but also be identifiable."

There’s a poetic beauty to how exceptional artists such as Kubrick are able to become a benchmark, influence, and idol for those who come after their death.

How close are Donald Glover, Eminem, Common, and more to winning an EGOT?

"His melodies and his concepts—he's a timeless alien.”

"The album coming soon."

In a new profile, frequent collaborator Pharrell Williams described what it is that makes Tyler such a special talent.

"I actually made 'APESHIT' and 'Stir Fry' in the same day and hour..."

Make out those royalty checks to Pharrell’s children.

Frank Ocean has mastered the art of humanizing himself on wax.

In the search for greatest ever, only 8 producers are truly deserving of the honor.

It’s a shame that a lot of the politics found on N*E*R*D's new album feel so forced because the music comes close to their best.

Praise the rapper, but never forget who provided the canvas.

“What he’s saying has so much color.”

“The record company, at the time, wasn’t understanding where we were and the world was changing."

Pharrell, you're far too humble.

"I want to always be introducing things that deserve to be in the space of other quality music."

"It was about letting my ego jump off that building, a shadow of me jumping off, and another incarnation flying to the sky."

"So Pharrell basically haggled my label into giving him the $40,000, and then he just ghosted on the entire thing."

In case you weren't already excited for SZA's album.

"When he’s talking over the beat, you’re like, ‘man…why do you feel this way?’"
