There's this one video of him on the Graham Norton show participating in a card trick being done by Chris Pratt. When Chris asks Will what his card is, he says the "A of Hearts." That was the first time I realized everything may not all be there.
10:17 - "So I'm watching this movie _Waiting For 'Superman'_ and I'm like 'Wow, that's really sad.' But what's the sad thing is the title. Not what's happening [in the film]. It's the fact that they're waiting for Superman." ~William *What's happening in the film:* _"Waiting for 'Superman'_ is a 2010 American documentary film [that] criticizes the American public education system by following several students as they strive to be accepted into competitive charter schools such as KIPP LA Schools, Harlem Success Academy and Summit Preparatory Charter High School. Geoffrey Canada describes his journey as an educator and recounts the story of his devastation when, as a child, he discovers that Superman is fictional, that 'there is no one coming with enough power to save us.' Throughout the documentary, different aspects of the American public education system are examined. Things such as the ease in which a public school teacher achieves tenure, the inability to fire a teacher who is tenured, and how the system attempts to reprimand poorly performing teachers are shown to affect the educational environment. Teaching standards are called into question as there is often conflicting bureaucracy between teaching expectations at the school, state, or federal level. The film also examines teacher's unions. Michelle Rhee, the former chancellor of the Washington, D.C. public schools (the district with some of the worst-performing students at the time), is shown attempting to take on the union agreements that teachers are bound to, but suffers a backlash from the unions and the teachers themselves. Statistical comparisons are made between the different types of primary or secondary educational institutions available: state school, private school, and charter school. There are also comparisons made between schools in affluent neighborhoods versus schools in poorer ones. Since charter schools do not operate with the same restrictions as public institutions, they are depicted as having a more experimental approach to educating students. Since many charter schools are not large enough to accept all of their applicants, the selection of students is done by lottery. The film follows several families as they attempt to gain access to prominent charter schools for their children."
He strikes me as a George Lucas type. He's got loads and loads of ideas but he needs actual reasonable people to tell him no or consolidate his ideas into anything that is actually useful or good.
I was in the middle of commenting about how painful this is to listen to at this slow speed and shut it off, when suddenly it stopped. I don't know what to do with this power.
He communicates like a toddler. When he was describing the things he wanted in a hotel bathroom it sounded like a child telling his parents what he wants in his future dream home.
He had that "Pixel, futuristic, Y2K-ish" look on his hair since the album "The Beginning" *SINCE 2010* Will has this kind of weird thing since that album were he is like this big ass futuristic genuis or something, and their albums while the Black Eyed Peas was a thing were falling into a downright spiral from kinda interesting like Elephunk into downright "STOP WITH THIS SHIT ALREADY" kinda thing. Like you had The Beginning, The Time, The End and all the damn unnecessary re-releases of The Beginning like that album was as good to re-release in different types or some stuff. Look, im a huge Black Eyed Peas fan and i really loved their earlier stuff, the first Album and Elephunk are still my favorites of them, but clearly Will has some "issues" and its even more clear that this was the "beginning" of the drag out and painful end of the Black Eyed Peas.
He didn't word it that eloquently but I thought that was actually good advice for designing a logo. Most people with little/no experience wouldn't consider things like wanting it to be identifiable regardless of size, I found it kind of interesting.
Even he doesn't understand what he's saying, how it would be helpful for people that do not know much about the subject if is not conveyed in a clear way
@@vjara94 What? He says some pretty straightforward things, he just reaches for words a lot and doesn't elaborate. I found it kinda helpful just because I have the basic intelligence needed to infer why a logo still functioning well in black and white is valuable, even though it's not something I've considered before because I don't often deconstruct company graphics.
@@nobodyspecial675 Everything he said was super basic shit that anyone could infer from thinking about company logos and what they have in common. Ralph Loren, John Deere, The flag of any given group or nation, all adhere to one or more of these suggestions. That doesn't make them profound thoughts, it just means any crackpot know nothing can make sound surface level suggestions. It's like saying "cartoons make for good marketing toward children" is advice anyone wouldn't already know.
Agreed. I think even though it doesn’t seem like he’s saying anything particularly ground-breaking, time and again brand logos pop up that ignore even the most basic rules of design
I had no idea that intel had Will.i.am on the payroll in this capacity. Im just imagining the blue man group in this position and that wouldve been real fun
Yeah I was thinking "he's right" about that stuff but as you say, first thing they teach in graphic design class. Although it was the most intelligent thing he said in all these clips. The stuff about gramophones was nonsense.
@@aarondavis8943 the gramophones rant sounds like someone who doesn't understand that "-phone" just means sound and thinks they came onto something really profound when it's really just like 2nd grade etymology
I think Intel just knows that they don't really have to advertise to anyone already in the market for a computer looking for info, so instead use the advertising budget to tour around some celerity name that they can attach to advertisements for prebuilt computers and the such. At least my best guess, and would guess something else similar again. Even makes sense from a marketing standpoint, because you can just use his music in the ads. Advertisement all around.
None of us realized back in 2003/2004 that William was being 100% sincere & serious when he sang "Let's Get Ret*rded In Here!" We all thought he was making a crude analogy for getting "turn't up" as we say these days, but it turns out he was being completely sincere. He genuinely meant it! And ultimately, he followed-through on that desire....
Will.i.am's style is some awful collision between an Austin Powers-type "international playboy" via Kubrick's 2001 & a sassy mall-walking grannie probably called Gloria Anne who dresses for comfort + visibility in 1994. Also I usually don't love the Life Extension Techno RichFolk but I hope he keeps pursuing immortality bc otherwise I can't deal with the onslaught of "Will.i.was" jokes that'll be his ultimate legacy.
My family was ritually sacrificed during a Sinaloa cartel shootout with police. I was the only one able to relay the emergency sms to the first responders... or... I would have been. Wasn't feeling 'The Vibe™', tbh.
The thing is about his initial tangent about logos, he's right about the importance of a logo being versatile in today's brand (capitalist) world. He just lost his train of thought, and started not really saying anything but world salad, probably because he doesn't actually understand why the elements he described are important. That's just my opinion though.
One I thing I like with the not answering “bad vibe” calls thing with the pulse is the caller has to have the pulse for it to work. So this is a product you’ve bought that potentially tells people not to answer your calls.
The primary issue with how he speaks seems to be that he cannot generalize ideas. He always defaults to giving examples instead. He can't just say 'Why do computers have to keep getting smaller?', he says 'Why can a computer only be a desktop or a laptop Is it a bathroom?'. He doesn't say 'Anthropologists study the differences between cultures', he says '... Study the differences between Brazil and Japan'. Seriously, listen for this tendency. It's EVERYWHERE in how he talks.
If you flip your logo upside down and it’s not right side up then there’s a problem If you change the logo’s language and you can’t read it, then there’s a problem If your logo has a problem then there’s a problem If your logo can’t do a backflip and then speak in binary then there’s a problem
12:24 - Well, to be fair, it's entirely possible that he's quoting someone. Because the clip begins in the middle of his statement, while he's mid-sentence. So it's possible - _probable,_ in fact - that he's just having trouble remembering the exaxt wording of the quote that he's trying to recite. Which *_WOULD BE_* an example of Ol' Willy Ayam utterly FAILING at public speaking, just not in the way that you're accusing him of.
Wow I had no idea that was a real song. It came up randomly on my CZcams once and I thought it was just a bad parody of let's get it started. Yikes Also by wearables are we talking about sheaths or?

Me too lol
Sorry, a harmless song that contains the wrong combination of syllables was actually harming the fabric of society, so it must be erased from history.
It's a funny song. But the Twitter crowd would definitely try to 'cAnCeL' them for a 20 year old song. Also, it’s a fun song to dance to.

I'm watching this at 2x speed, so Will sounds normal while Adum is too fast: checkmate, atheists.
...Just kidding, Will can never sound normal.
He communicates like a toddler. When he was describing the things he wanted in a hotel bathroom it sounded like a child telling his parents what he wants in his future dream home.
Damn if I had known such basic things like 'start with black and white' then maybe my design career would go better
be careful adum. Will I am has already beat up a gay man for criticizing him before. dude is nuts.
He had that "Pixel, futuristic, Y2K-ish" look on his hair since the album "The Beginning" *SINCE 2010*
Will has this kind of weird thing since that album were he is like this big ass futuristic genuis or something, and their albums while the Black Eyed Peas was a thing were falling into a downright spiral from kinda interesting like Elephunk into downright "STOP WITH THIS SHIT ALREADY" kinda thing.

“An older Jaden Smith” is the perfect description for him.
These are quite literally the MOST generic things that are taught in art class about making a logo. - From someone who made a logo
literally the entire time i kept thinking "these are basic concepts said in the longest way possible"

William is an ideas man who doesn't have any ideas.
This is damn near identical to The Onion HP Cloud video, except that was satire and Will is 100% serious.
When he said he would fix the speed, i assumed he would speed it up. Im such an idiot, this is amazing

You have to check out his song "Geekin"...And that would answer your question
He sounds like he's trying so hard to be deep and philosophical that he doesn't end up saying anything of real substance
