    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 CZcams 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!

    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.

  • @Alexander_Grant
    @Alexander_Grant Před 3 lety +65

    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.

  • @dpendsonwhat2441

    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 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
