      Pharrell is a fu**king idiot. I have no respect. He has zero music ability. I've been done with him for a while.

    How anybody can thumbs down a video of Pharrell dropping nothing but gems and overall positivity is beyond me....

      @Muhteo Před 5 lety +2

      EastBayMoonWalker510 _ maybe because he was performing at a fucking fundraiser in israel directly supporting the IDF. God why would anyone dislike a guy whos supporting an army that participates in systematic killing all the time. Even funnier how he went out of his way for trump not to play his song “happy” at his rallies

    @SWGYungBlaze Před 5 lety +2

    Pharrell Williams is one of the most influential and motivational minds ever! He’s is very intuitive and I can appreciate that. I’ve been a fan of Pharrell since he was with the Neptunes and I didn’t know much about them at the time. The older I became I realized that he is a dope artist then found out that he’s a fashion designer. He does so many great things in this world and people don’t understand it.

    @t.c.o.g.773 Před 5 lety

    This brother is a kool interviewer because he asks the questions and lets the interviewee answers verses answering for them by being rude and cutting them off no one can ever have the ability to tell their own stories like themselves people who cut others off in conversation indirectly is really telling someone to shut the f!#@ up and i hate that thats why if i see a person do that to someone i have nothing to talk to them about thats a blatant characteristic of a self centered /narcisist period!!! So props goes to the brother great interview!!! On pharell.

    Pharrell a legend but that Israeli defence force show he actively supported, performed at and took a cheque for made me think of him in a slightly different light. No humanitarian who promotes being 'one' and against division can honestly sit there and take a cheque from and actively support such a brutal and barbaric regime that has basically been ethnic cleansing a population for decades.
