Footage includes a range of conversations with both chart-topping legends and underground kings. In a pre-CZcams world, when local television still had some clout, Distortion 2 Static used original programming to cover Hip Hop culture with a depth of knowledge and respect. D2S offered a mirror for its community to feel seen.

Respect to the cameraman for zooming in on their classic drip
camera guy was reallyyy tryna make the most of this moment
I like it
the camera guy is on crack
@@KingKarlton 😂😂😂😂
I was not on crack! lol
Hey man, we didnt know if we would get this chance again lol (fyi we did.. other interview coming soon. With better camerawork lol)
I love Shay's and Pharrell's respect for rock music. People should never seperate genres by skin colors.
jimmi
Especially since Rock was created by blacks
@@sorethumbs379 Yes, true. And then kind of "owned" by white people. Although there have always been some great black rock artists. Hendrix, Prince, Bad Brains, Living Colour just to name a few.
@@laurisaarinen1126 Chuck Berry & Little Richard birthed rock n roll
Recommend me some rock music like N.E.R.D
5:18 Pharrell clearing the illest levels on snake at this point.
LOL
underrated comment
Oh man, let’s not forget to mention how hard P’s letterman is drippin.
He would literally be photographed/recorded wearing the same pieces over and over and would still always be praised for his style. ☠️🔥🐐
It made meeting him all more surreal.
Virginia Beach, Princess Anne High School letterman jacket. 🖖🏽🖖🏽🖖🏽 Pharrell is a Va beach legend.
Ppl talking in the background made it hard to focus on this iconic interview
You can here Pusha and Malice in the background! Must of been a wild ride.
@@firstson8686 yes just look how they are wasted
Very calm and subtle bape fleece
These guys were ahead of the game in terms of style. Definitely elevated the bape brand
@@NTEDOG561 wayy ahead of the game bro
when Pharrell says "Exclusive Audio Footage" - for the true heads!
Man, FLY OR DIE is Underrated!!! AMAZING ALBUM!! At first I was thrown off by it, but then I grew to fucking LOVE IT!! My Second Favorite NERD album, IN SEARCH OF.. is my Favorite album, also my Favorite album of ALL TIME, Yessirr!! 🖖🏼
Fly it Die was my highschool soundtrack!!!!
fax
i love Jump with Joel and Benji from Good Charlotte!!
Pharell is GORGEOUS!!!!
this is so amazing
He mentioned Clipse was about to release Hell Hath No Fury this was 2004 also since they were talking about the second NeRD album
Corey Banks right the anticipation was high for hell hath no fury. Limewire was flooded with fake tracks
Channing Smith 🖖🏾
Pharrell wanted a reaction at 7:00 interviewer did a great job of not giving it to him. So Pharrell had to open up. Amazing.
we stayed focused lol
U can tell pharrell hates the neptunes signature sound which is feel like pharrell felt stuck n that style n sound which is why he started changing his production up towards the 3rd nerd album seeing sounds. With that album pharrell was running from that neptunes style. Wen he did he did the songs with draft punk n ronin thick n the happy n his second solo album. He really stripped that old neptunes sound. Came with a new sound. Songs like lemon and get loose and alright and stir fry With that Anthomy James brown type vibe to it. That's pharrell's new sound.
Hate is a strong word i wouldnt say he hated the Neptune sound. But he did Hate The Neptune BOX that they tried to place and keep him in; and anyone connected to him in. He was trying to break the barriers of the industry back then (In my opinion he suceeded). Pharrell was a musician first and wanted to make Any and every kind of music and art possible. And they wanted him to stay in his Black hip hop lane. And he was like F Ya i do more then just Hip hop. I do Pop ish (like i love you) Country ish (provider) Rock, alternative fusion; hell i even make jewerly and clothes! Something they really frowned artist of color to do. He is the living Renaissance Man of our generation. And during this time he was fighting for the right to jump genre to genre. During a time where honestly All artist of all colors were boxed in by race, musical Genres and position in music. They wanted him to just produce and only produce hiphop. No singing,no rockband, no working in other genres of music, fashion cross overs, no movie scores no stay in your Lane! Thats what he kept hearing from the industry and im glad he was brave enough to ingore them and let them call him wierd for a time. That fearlessness and bravery to be himself made them legends. Pharrell thank you for fusing everything and changing the game. The Neptune finger print (or sometimes his own print chad and him dont do everything together) that begining 4 count or those really out of place bridges. Hell that piano line you hear from time to time. The signature will always be there....but he refuses to be stagnent; forever evolving. I respect him for always being true to himself and his craft. F a BRAND this is his Craft his heart. I love him and chad for what they did for Music and us as a people.
Darrell Holmes dont forget neon guts
This isn't true. It's just that they wanted NERD to be separate from The Neptunes. As they got older, they changed workstations, DAWs, setups etc. so "sounds" changed inevitably with that. Every NERD album sounds different. In Search Of has a late 60s, 70s aurora with a lot of synthfunk remnants. Fly or Die was more intimate, I believe, as Pharrell and Chad not only arranged & composed but also played every instrument aside from the guitaring by Lenny Kravitz & drumming by ?uestlove on "Maybe". Seeing Sounds was very alternative, retro, and synth pop-ish. Nothing was extremely organic, yet alt-pop. No One Ever Really Dies (which I personally was disappointed in aside from 3-4 tracks) was a nod to current pop culture. I believe Pharrell, in his mind (see what I did there), wanted his and Chad's work to be sort of like alter egos and at this particular moment, he was trying to disassociate himself from "The Neptunes" for the sake of "NERD".
@aaron cole there's a lot of people that can manipulate that sound way better than he can. personally, I don't think he's that talented but to each their own. I think it's best to just let their sound be their sound and let it be a part of history.
@@thundorkat what lol how y’all really don’t like the no one ever really does album do you 😂 I don’t see how it was a nod to current pop culture they said they had there ears away from what was popular during the making of it and just wanted to experiment. Personally it’s my favorite n.e.r.d. album it’s more influenced by punk than anything else
Damn, you can see all over Pharell's face he has something on his shoulder. Maybe was upset that he had to do the interview
yeah im sure they did tons of these back then. this was before social media so as an artists you did so many of these interviews.
bs neptunes had a distinct sound. the 1st 5 secs of a track you knew it was neptunes or when you heard their snare or guitar it was a wrap. it was like they remixed everything from 99-'03 then they experimented more and even then they kept their old trademarks
because they work on feel rather than what listeners consider their sound. when people start analyzing their work and speaking in technical terms, it's irritating and can stifle the convo. when you make something that feels good, you use what got you there until you're moved to go somewhere else.
@@bladebrown4191 Respect. I love that response
I swear they put the camera on a german sheperd head cause ...
Lmfaoo 😂
yo we were new to this ok lol
LMAOOOO
😭
That Varsity Jacket too clean 🔥💯❗️
The guy in the brown bape was doing a Pharrell impression
Just now getting into Pharrell-it’s great to see he’s always had this knowledge, even if he was a lil hard headed at the start
PHARRELL
YE
DILLA
EXPRESSION
COOL
FOR THE KIDS
ALL IN THE SAME VIDEO
WOW
this is very special
This is like a futuristic old school video 🖖🏽
I just realized how much pharrell resembles babyface! He is definitely native american... I can tell in his features! Great video.
Thanks for watching!
Good Interview, Misleading Title
pharrell williams to awesome in d2s archives !!!
Love ❤️
Idk why but I've always felt like Pharrell and Chad do the most work since they are the most talented.
yeah Shay’s definitely along for the ride. It’s not what u know, it’s who u know
shay brings energy
@@astroant5214 Pharrell by himself has enough energy to light up a room. Shay is just a long time buddy who wasn't left behind and that makes P an even better person for that. Hell i would of loved to be part of N.E.R.D. too. I'll just be known as that guy and you know what? Ill be happy with that.
Shady💀
Shay helps with arrangements and concept ideas on songs. Shay is also a producer. In an interview Pharrell said me and Chad go out there musically and sometimes it's all over the place story wise. Shay brings it back to earth and help makes it easy to understand.The Neptune's originally was a big group of people. They were a group first. It's just Pharrell and Chad got famous for beat making. And Shay is one of the few that hung in there. So when NERD finally got a chance to make music, it was a childhood dream come true. To finally be recognized as artist themselves. I think it's really Cool because these three guys are best friends. Shit Idc if my bestie just wanna play the tamberine let's make this money! But seriously Pharrell would get so mad when people assumed Shay or others didn't pull they weight. The problem was Interviewers back then couldn't differentiate NERD vs Neptunes. So they always asked about the Neptune's. Eventually he said Neptune's is a job to be done, NERD thats they original dream. That's where they as artist create what they want. And Shay is apart of that process. He isn't just there for the ride. He just could less about the fame part. In fact both Chad and Shay are on record stating they rather not be as big as Pharrell. They get to live they dreams, make music with they real friends and go home.
That man is so fine even when annoyed
Girl yes
❤️
12:19
🖖
Pharrell is THAT dude
goat for sure
they are so high
anybody from the 75, is that a Princess Anne Letterman Jacket P is wearing/ is that where he went to HS?
Princess Anne Drumline letterman jacket yes
@@DandMproductions23 nice , thanks
🖖🖖🖖🖖
N E R D
Classic Shit! 🖖🏾🔥
Shay was wrong!!! there was definitely a distinct sound
Exactly
The first album really did have a distinctive Neptune’s sound .. that’s why they recorded the first album with spymob
I reckon people love the first album
Coz it’s classic Neptune’s sound with rock
He was more than likely talking about the original European release.
Damn, what happened right before this interview??
I hate that interviewers ask the same questions
this camera movement is annoying
Hip Hop is that raw shit.
Hip hop shit
it's especially fitting for that era, those camera movements COMPLETE this interview. stick to your tonight shows i don't think this might be for you....
I have so many questions:
What kinda hat is Shae wearing?
Why doesn’t Shae get mentioned in the credits on albums?
What does Shae actually do? Lol
Love him to death, but his existence in the band has always been a mystery to me.
LMAOOOOO why is he HERE!?!? I think it's just because hes a childhood friend
A fitted cap
Drums
he obviously does rap vocals lol it shouldn't be a mystery
he's not a musician but N.E.R.D wouldn't be N.E.R.D without Shae, it would just be a solo Pharrell project
N.E.R.D's entire vibe revolves around the dynamic between Pharrell & Shae's vocals together
ThiefofBaghdad put some respect on chad hugo
ayo good lookin out
Dookie_N3RD she wants to move 👀 love ur pfp
