-Dada.
-Yes, sir.
8
00:00:58,099 --> 00:00:59,684
Careful. Don't crash.
9
00:01:03,605 --> 00:01:04,689
You okay?
10
00:01:06,733 --> 00:01:08,234
Yeah, but you're not
supposed to have that

00:01:08,276 --> 00:01:10,779
-on the table, buddy.
-Dada.
12
00:01:11,654 --> 00:01:13,448
So, can you do me a favor
and tell everybody
13
00:01:13,490 --> 00:01:15,784
I'm trying to do an interview
for the film?
14
00:01:15,825 --> 00:01:17,327
Okay, babe.
15
00:01:17,368 --> 00:01:20,038
But just tell the kids to be--
quiet down, like...
16
00:01:24,626 --> 00:01:26,586
-And good morning, brother.
-Hey.
17
00:01:29,923 --> 00:01:32,217
-Are we good?
-Yeah. All set.
18
00:01:32,258 --> 00:01:33,384
Okay.
19
00:01:33,426 --> 00:01:34,886
-Hey.
-Hey, how you doing, man?
20
00:01:34,928 --> 00:01:36,096
Good to see you. How's it going?
21
00:01:36,137 --> 00:01:37,097
-We're recording? Yeah?
-Yeah, yeah.
22
00:01:37,138 --> 00:01:38,223
Okay, cool.
23
00:01:38,264 --> 00:01:40,475
Quiet on the set!
24
00:01:42,685 --> 00:01:44,646
You know what I always
thought about?
25
00:01:44,687 --> 00:01:45,730
What's that?
26
00:01:45,772 --> 00:01:47,607
What if, like...
27
00:01:47,649 --> 00:01:49,442
What if nothing's new?
28
00:01:50,944 --> 00:01:52,904
What if life is like a LEGO set?
29
00:01:54,572 --> 00:01:57,200
And you can put 'em together
whatever way you want.
30
00:01:58,451 --> 00:02:03,206
But you're borrowing from
colors that already existed.
31
00:02:04,958 --> 00:02:06,918
Does that make sense?
32
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,253
Um...
33
00:02:08,294 --> 00:02:09,504
You know what would be cool
is if, like,
34
00:02:09,546 --> 00:02:12,590
we told my story
with LEGO pieces.
35
00:02:13,716 --> 00:02:15,301
-Seriously?
-Yes.
36
00:02:15,343 --> 00:02:17,137
-LEGO?
-Yes.
37
00:02:17,929 --> 00:02:19,430
Mm-hmm.
38
00:02:19,472 --> 00:02:21,558
Just imagine all the color
that would bring to it.
39
00:02:21,599 --> 00:02:22,433
Sure.
40
00:02:22,475 --> 00:02:24,269
-Limitless color.
-Mm-hmm.
41
00:02:24,310 --> 00:02:26,187
This is the best way I can
really be my purest self...
42
00:02:26,229 --> 00:02:28,022
-Yeah.
-...without feeling weird.
43
00:02:28,064 --> 00:02:29,107
Okay.
44
00:02:29,149 --> 00:02:30,817
Man, I'm saying just...
45
00:02:30,859 --> 00:02:32,819
Just be open. Just be open.
46
00:02:32,861 --> 00:02:36,114
So, what would you be wearing
in this interview, then?
47
00:02:36,156 --> 00:02:39,284
Dad hat, T-shirt, shorts,
48
00:02:39,325 --> 00:02:40,910

Here's an easy question.

00:02:47,417 --> 00:02:50,920
Well, maybe
it's easy, maybe it's hard.

54
00:02:52,922 --> 00:02:54,257

The beach was
less than a mile from Atlantis,
78

the housing project
where I grew up.
79
00:04:54,294 --> 00:04:56,254

this was the hood,
80
00:04:56,296 --> 00:04:58,965

85
00:05:22,822 --> 00:05:25,241
We lived in the crash zone,
86
00:05:25,283 --> 00:05:28,286
so we had the best view.
87
00:05:32,165 --> 00:05:34,834
You couldn't tell me
that life was not amazing.
88
00:05:37,879 --> 00:05:39,881
And I loved music.
89
00:05:40,798 --> 00:05:43,051
Like, everybody loves music,
but I'm realizing
90
00:05:43,092 --> 00:05:45,803
I had a different kind
of relationship with it.
91
00:05:45,845 --> 00:05:46,971
Like, it was--
92
00:05:47,013 --> 00:05:49,515
literally was mesmerizing to me.
93
00:05:52,727 --> 00:05:54,896
I didn't even know
that I was mesmerized.
94
00:05:54,937 --> 00:05:56,731
I just thought
that's what all Black kids did.
95
00:05:56,773 --> 00:05:59,317

It's called synesthesia.
100
00:06:14,082 --> 00:06:16,751
It's not something that you see
with your physical eyes.
101
00:06:16,793 --> 00:06:18,878

And me.
118
00:07:11,764 --> 00:07:14,892
As parents from a project,
119
00:07:14,934 --> 00:07:18,771
we needed to be encouraging
and tell him like...
120
00:07:18,813 --> 00:07:21,899
You can do anything
you want to do.
121
00:07:21,941 --> 00:07:25,736
People are able
to accomplish things
122
00:07:25,778 --> 00:07:29,115
because they work hard
at what it is that they do.
123
00:07:30,283 --> 00:07:31,742
That's my mom.
124
00:07:37,457 --> 00:07:40,209
We basically lived
in the same neighborhood.
125
00:07:40,251 --> 00:07:44,005
We were kids, so it was like,
"Hey, we're gonna ride our bikes
126
00:07:44,046 --> 00:07:46,507
to Mount Trashmore."
127
00:07:47,300 --> 00:07:48,759
And I was the kid
128
00:07:48,801 --> 00:07:51,053
in the neighborhood
with the skateboard.
129
00:07:58,186 --> 00:07:59,437
Yeah.
130
00:07:59,479 --> 00:08:01,522
We explored everywhere.
131
00:08:02,648 --> 00:08:04,484
We would go to neighborhoods
132
00:08:04,525 --> 00:08:08,404
and point at massive houses
and dream.
133
00:08:14,577 --> 00:08:16,454
Virginia Beach Oceanfront was
134
00:08:16,496 --> 00:08:18,956

You have Timbaland,
who's known as DJ Timmy Tim.
139
00:08:34,555 --> 00:08:37,517
We all kind of knew each other
from school.
140
00:08:39,602 --> 00:08:41,145
Yeah, I knew Timbaland.
141
00:08:41,187 --> 00:08:43,189
I knew Timbaland 'cause
we were in class together,
142
00:08:43,231 --> 00:08:45,858
and he was cool with Missy.
143
00:08:45,900 --> 00:08:47,860
And that's how I met Missy,
through Tim.
144
00:08:49,487 --> 00:08:51,572
At the time, we weren't thinking
145
00:08:51,614 --> 00:08:54,367
we were going to be artists.
146
00:08:54,408 --> 00:08:56,536
We just loved doing music.
147
00:09:08,548 --> 00:09:10,841
In Virginia,
we've been saying for years
148
00:09:10,883 --> 00:09:13,719
there's something in the water.
149
00:09:13,761 --> 00:09:15,179
They always say
there's something in the water,
150
00:09:15,221 --> 00:09:17,723
but I think
it's just Virginia itself.
151
00:09:33,823 --> 00:09:35,491
But I wasn't the best student.
152
00:09:38,035 --> 00:09:41,205
I found school difficult,
you know?
153
00:09:42,707 --> 00:09:44,792
You go from being
in sixth grade,
154
00:09:44,834 --> 00:09:46,877
where you only really had
two teachers,
155
00:09:46,919 --> 00:09:48,379
but seventh grade was like
156
00:09:48,421 --> 00:09:49,630
you had
seven different teachers.
157
00:09:49,672 --> 00:09:51,048
It was just too overwhelming.
158
00:09:52,258 --> 00:09:54,677
Hey! Earth to Pharrell.
159
00:09:54,719 --> 00:09:58,556
Stop daydreaming
and get to work.
160
00:09:58,598 --> 00:10:00,641
I have, like, anxiety about it
161
00:10:00,683 --> 00:10:02,935
and refuse to go back.
162
00:10:04,604 --> 00:10:07,189
So, I was
in seventh grade twice.
163
00:10:09,984 --> 00:10:12,236
The teacher contacted my mom
and said,
164
00:10:12,278 --> 00:10:15,197
"Look, he's got
enough credit to pass."
165
00:10:15,239 --> 00:10:18,909
And my mom was like,
"No, he needs to...
166
00:10:18,951 --> 00:10:20,953
he needs to do it again."
167
00:10:24,749 --> 00:10:26,709
The boy is smart.
He's brilliant.
168
00:10:26,751 --> 00:10:29,253
But he only did enough
to get by.
169
00:10:30,046 --> 00:10:33,174
Do you feel like
you fit in as a kid?
170
00:10:33,215 --> 00:10:34,300
No.
171
00:10:35,801 --> 00:10:39,805
I was detached.
172
00:10:41,223 --> 00:10:44,268
And more in dreamland
all the time,
173
00:10:44,310 --> 00:10:48,022
because oftentimes that's all
I had, was my imagination.
174
00:10:48,064 --> 00:10:51,275

00:10:51,317 --> 00:10:52,735

176
00:10:52,777 --> 00:10:55,529
I wanted to escape.
177
00:10:55,571 --> 00:10:57,031
Hello and welcome aboard.
178
00:10:57,073 --> 00:10:59,075
You're right on time for
another ride on the big train.
179
00:11:00,451 --> 00:11:02,495

180
00:11:03,496 --> 00:11:07,124

I felt like
everybody else was like,

"Oh, that's an odd child.
He's odd."
192
00:11:52,545 --> 00:11:54,463

Pharrell was lifted up.

Were you making any music yet?
225
00:14:09,139 --> 00:14:11,100
No, 'cause I didn't take band
226
00:14:11,141 --> 00:14:13,310
in my first time
in seventh grade.
227
00:14:13,352 --> 00:14:16,605
I mean, like, even singing
or playing piano or anything?
228
00:14:16,647 --> 00:14:18,315
The closest I came to music
229
00:14:18,357 --> 00:14:21,861
was lining my grandmother's
pillows up off of her couch
230
00:14:21,902 --> 00:14:24,989
and taking the cake mixer
and a whisk.
231
00:14:25,030 --> 00:14:26,866
And those were my drumsticks.
232
00:14:39,587 --> 00:14:43,173
She saw that in me, and that's
when, in the seventh grade,
233
00:14:43,215 --> 00:14:45,593
she got me a snare drum.
234
00:14:53,642 --> 00:14:55,895
But she started me on my path.
235
00:14:57,479 --> 00:15:00,149
My grandmother was the one
that was like, "Listen..."
236
00:15:00,190 --> 00:15:02,860
When you go back to school,
you should take music.
237
00:15:21,295 --> 00:15:23,589
And that's when I met Chad.
238
00:15:23,631 --> 00:15:27,051
Chad understood colors in music,
239
00:15:27,092 --> 00:15:30,137

They was like little nerds.
247
00:16:07,758 --> 00:16:12,429
Chad was always kind of quiet.
248
00:16:13,138 --> 00:16:14,598
I mean, it's true.
249
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,266
Yeah.
250
00:16:16,308 --> 00:16:18,644
But to see the two of them
251
00:16:18,686 --> 00:16:20,187
do music together,
252
00:16:20,229 --> 00:16:23,315
it's like they read
each other's minds.
253
00:16:30,906 --> 00:16:32,199
We were just being ourselves
254
00:16:32,241 --> 00:16:34,243
and were just-just having fun,
you know?
255
00:16:34,284 --> 00:16:37,037
Chad is literally like a savant.
256
00:16:37,079 --> 00:16:38,622
I've learned so much from him.
257
00:16:41,250 --> 00:16:43,669
He was like,
"I met this kid named Chad.
258
00:16:43,711 --> 00:16:46,338
"He has some music equipment
at his house.
259
00:16:46,380 --> 00:16:48,090
We should go and check it out."
260
00:16:48,132 --> 00:16:50,426
We started going over
to Chad's house,
261
00:16:50,467 --> 00:16:51,593
over the garage.
262
00:16:54,263 --> 00:16:56,223
I'm sorry, I have to say it.
263
00:16:56,265 --> 00:16:58,600
We skipped so much school.
264
00:16:58,642 --> 00:17:00,019
It was so bad.
265
00:17:02,187 --> 00:17:04,982
Every day,
we would create songs.
266
00:17:05,024 --> 00:17:08,235
Everything sounded futuristic.
267
00:17:08,277 --> 00:17:10,237
"Let's try this.
Let's try that."
268
00:17:10,279 --> 00:17:11,739
It's like the person
who invented
269
00:17:11,780 --> 00:17:13,323
peanut butter and jelly.
270
00:17:13,365 --> 00:17:14,825
It's like a weird mixture.
271
00:17:14,867 --> 00:17:16,160
And if you can pull it off,
272
00:17:16,201 --> 00:17:17,327
it becomes something new
and different.
273
00:17:17,369 --> 00:17:18,829

out of life
than just making it, you know?
290
00:18:18,931 --> 00:18:22,559
I think he had a job
at McDonald's for 30 minutes.
291
00:18:25,354 --> 00:18:28,440
He had a whole separate business
292

selling nuggets
out the back door.
293
00:18:32,778 --> 00:18:34,613

294
00:18:34,655 --> 00:18:35,739

They were so good.
299
00:18:49,461 --> 00:18:51,338

300
00:18:51,380 --> 00:18:53,257

to Future Studios
and work with him.
357
00:21:47,597 --> 00:21:51,685
If we do this right, whoa.
358
00:21:53,103 --> 00:21:54,438
All right. All right, now.
359
00:21:54,479 --> 00:21:56,148
How many of you are ready
for Teddy Riley?
360
00:21:59,609 --> 00:22:02,446
Do you even remember
what the music was?
361
00:22:02,487 --> 00:22:05,824
It was a lot of, like,
baby Whitney Houstons.
362
00:22:07,326 --> 00:22:09,995
All of the judges were like,
363
00:22:10,037 --> 00:22:12,039

the next greatest singers."

It went from

383
00:23:11,723 --> 00:23:13,683
Pharrell went from rapping
384
00:23:13,725 --> 00:23:15,435
to singing,
385
00:23:15,477 --> 00:23:17,687
and then got on the drums.
386
00:23:17,729 --> 00:23:21,400
It felt like the most incredible
freestyle performance.
387
00:23:25,821 --> 00:23:28,949
And I just knew
that's what I'm looking for.
388
00:23:33,036 --> 00:23:36,540
A'ight, guys, let's look
at what we have here.
389
00:23:36,581 --> 00:23:38,375
-Mr. Pharrell.
-Yes, sir.
390
00:23:38,417 --> 00:23:39,543
-Chad.
-Yes, sir.
391
00:23:39,584 --> 00:23:41,128
-Shae.
-Yo.
392
00:23:41,169 --> 00:23:45,382
You know, we're looking for
new artists and new vibes.
393
00:23:45,424 --> 00:23:46,508
So...
394
00:23:46,550 --> 00:23:48,635
-Yes.
-Oh, wow, okay.
395
00:23:48,677 --> 00:23:51,221
Absolutely. Can't wait.
396
00:23:51,263 --> 00:23:52,889
Here you have it.
397
00:23:59,479 --> 00:24:01,189
Whoa. It's real.
398
00:24:01,231 --> 00:24:02,899
Oh, .
399
00:24:02,941 --> 00:24:04,359
This entire time,
400
00:24:04,401 --> 00:24:05,986
I'm just thinking, "I don't know
401
00:24:06,027 --> 00:24:09,656
where life is gonna lead me,
but I'm just gonna go for it."
402
00:24:13,618 --> 00:24:15,454
It's The Neptunes for Teddy.
403
00:24:29,134 --> 00:24:31,386
Teddy was, like, super busy.
404
00:24:31,428 --> 00:24:32,721
I think he was, like,
405
00:24:32,762 --> 00:24:34,556
working on Michael's
Dangerous album.
406
00:24:34,598 --> 00:24:36,266
He just was meticulous
about everything.
407
00:24:36,308 --> 00:24:39,227
He would spend, like, an hour
just mixing a snare. I'm like...
408
00:24:39,269 --> 00:24:41,021
What is he listening to?
409
00:24:46,151 --> 00:24:47,736
They meant business.
410
00:24:47,777 --> 00:24:49,696
They didn't want kids
running around the studio.
411
00:24:49,738 --> 00:24:51,615
My studio etiquette
was so wrong.
412
00:24:51,656 --> 00:24:53,825
You know, Teddy would play
a chord, and I would go...
413
00:24:53,867 --> 00:24:56,453
Hey, why don't you change it
to this chord?
414
00:25:01,875 --> 00:25:04,628
And the engineer would just
give me the dirtiest look.
415
00:25:04,669 --> 00:25:05,921
Hey, man, listen.
416
00:25:05,962 --> 00:25:07,297
Teddy's the boss.
417
00:25:07,339 --> 00:25:08,965
-Mm-hmm.
-When he's working,
418
00:25:09,007 --> 00:25:11,468
-you don't say anything.
-Yes, sir.
419
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:14,221
You're lucky to be in the room.
420
00:25:14,262 --> 00:25:16,848
That's where
I learned discipline.
421
00:25:25,273 --> 00:25:28,235
And a lot of times,
Pharrell would give me tracks,
422
00:25:28,276 --> 00:25:30,487
and he would say,
"Tammy, can you help me
423
00:25:30,529 --> 00:25:32,197
write some lyrics to this song?"
424
00:25:32,239 --> 00:25:33,949
You know what I mean?
425
00:25:33,990 --> 00:25:37,202
♪ Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah. ♪
426
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,372
The thing that raised
my eyebrows was
427
00:25:40,413 --> 00:25:42,332
Pharrell leaving home
late at night.
428
00:25:43,333 --> 00:25:47,712
And I'm thinking,
"This guy is wasting his time."
429
00:25:52,884 --> 00:25:55,178
This one night,
430
00:25:55,220 --> 00:25:58,181
I just-- I needed help
on this record...
431
00:25:59,599 --> 00:26:02,686
...because I didn't know
how to really rap.
432
00:26:02,727 --> 00:26:03,853
I said...
433
00:26:03,895 --> 00:26:06,523
-All right, Pharrell.
-Yes, sir.
434
00:26:06,565 --> 00:26:07,899
Man, I need a rap.
435
00:26:07,941 --> 00:26:09,359
And I was like, "Really?"
436
00:26:09,401 --> 00:26:11,319
-He was like...
-Yes.
437
00:26:11,361 --> 00:26:13,029
This is a big task.
438
00:26:13,071 --> 00:26:16,950
This record cannot come out
until I get the proper rap.
439
00:26:16,992 --> 00:26:18,577
You got it.
440
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:23,707
I don't think he had it,
441
00:26:23,748 --> 00:26:26,543
but he just went in the room
and freestyled it.

00:28:04,808 --> 00:28:07,519
That gave him, like,
an artistic itch.
486
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,939
So I would go up
to Teddy week after week
487
00:28:10,980 --> 00:28:12,816
and just sort of
question him, like...
488
00:28:12,857 --> 00:28:15,318
-Man, I'm trying to make
my own music. -No.
489
00:28:16,111 --> 00:28:19,197
He said I wasn't ready.
490
00:28:25,829 --> 00:28:28,331
I was, like, really
at my wits' end.
491
00:28:28,373 --> 00:28:31,334
I thought I might have to get
out of that deal with Teddy.
492
00:28:40,802 --> 00:28:43,221
So I talked
to my pastor about it.
493
00:28:45,223 --> 00:28:48,476
And I remember being
so confused.
494
00:28:49,352 --> 00:28:50,979
Look, in Virginia,
he's the only guy here.
495
00:28:51,020 --> 00:28:53,523
Like, what's--
How is this gonna happen?
496
00:28:53,565 --> 00:28:55,358
Listen.
497
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,361
If you're standing
at the bottom of a mountain,
498
00:28:58,403 --> 00:29:00,155
can you see the other side?
499
00:29:01,406 --> 00:29:03,032
No, you can't.
500
00:29:03,074 --> 00:29:05,410
But does that mean
there's no other side?
501
00:29:07,954 --> 00:29:12,000
The other side of that
is your life leveling up.
502
00:29:13,585 --> 00:29:18,089
What God has for you,
no man can stand in the way of.
503
00:29:19,591 --> 00:29:21,468
-He said, "Trust God."
-Trust God.
504
00:29:22,510 --> 00:29:23,720
And I did.
505
00:29:33,396 --> 00:29:35,273
Hey.
506
00:29:36,232 --> 00:29:37,734
Pharrell would come to my house
507
00:29:37,776 --> 00:29:39,903
with a beat in his head.
508
00:29:41,988 --> 00:29:44,199
We would tell ourselves,
"We can do this."
509
00:29:45,325 --> 00:29:46,785
Let's make some music.
510
00:29:46,826 --> 00:29:48,244
I'm choking on french fries,
511
00:29:48,286 --> 00:29:49,954
but that's okay.
512
00:29:56,252 --> 00:29:59,088
Music was just coming out of me.
513
00:30:00,048 --> 00:30:02,300
Can't tell you
where it's coming from.
514
00:30:03,968 --> 00:30:05,303
I don't know.
515
00:30:05,345 --> 00:30:07,138
I love it.
516
00:30:08,973 --> 00:30:10,517
Creatively, I'm going in there.
517
00:30:10,558 --> 00:30:12,685
I'm just reaching into oblivion,
518
00:30:12,727 --> 00:30:15,104
reaching into the future,
519
00:30:15,146 --> 00:30:18,149
and we don't know what the hell
we gonna bring back.
520
00:30:19,359 --> 00:30:21,236
I'm new to this.
521
00:30:22,445 --> 00:30:23,947
But it's awesome.
522
00:30:33,665 --> 00:30:36,459
For, you know, like five years,
523
00:30:36,501 --> 00:30:39,003
time just passes,
just stacking beats.
524
00:30:45,802 --> 00:30:47,303
I was so ambitious.
525
00:30:47,345 --> 00:30:50,139
It's all I cared about
was, like, getting on.
526
00:30:57,438 --> 00:31:02,527
Pharrell definitely wanted to be
in front of the mic. 100%.
527
00:31:02,569 --> 00:31:04,404
He wanted to rap.
528
00:31:04,445 --> 00:31:05,738
He wanted to sing.
529
00:31:05,780 --> 00:31:07,782
He wanted to rap sing.
530
00:31:07,824 --> 00:31:11,703
What am I gonna do?!
531
00:31:13,746 --> 00:31:15,456
I don't know, man.
532
00:31:15,498 --> 00:31:17,959
Definitely thought it was time
to go back to school.
533
00:31:18,001 --> 00:31:19,961
Get another profession.
534
00:31:21,004 --> 00:31:22,589
Yeah, but, I mean, listen.
535
00:31:22,630 --> 00:31:25,758
All it just takes is the right
opportunity to do our music,
536
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:27,010
and it's gonna go.
537
00:31:27,051 --> 00:31:28,177
We're gonna figure it out.
538
00:31:30,555 --> 00:31:33,308
So I called this A&R guy,
Kenny Ortiz.
539
00:31:35,101 --> 00:31:38,855
One of his interns
would always answer the phone.
540
00:31:38,897 --> 00:31:40,356
That was Rob Walker.
541
00:31:40,398 --> 00:31:41,608
Hello?
542
00:31:41,649 --> 00:31:42,859
You know, the first few times,
543
00:31:42,901 --> 00:31:43,860
it was kind of like, you know...
544
00:31:43,902 --> 00:31:45,194
Kenny's not here.
545
00:31:45,236 --> 00:31:47,530
He's busy.
546
00:31:47,572 --> 00:31:49,824
Because he literally called
every single day.
547
00:31:49,866 --> 00:31:51,326
And then it got to the point
548
00:31:51,367 --> 00:31:53,369
where he wasn't calling
to see where Kenny was.
549
00:31:53,411 --> 00:31:55,330
He was just calling to say,
"What's up?"
550
00:31:56,497 --> 00:31:59,167
-What's up, man?
-Hey, man.
551
00:31:59,208 --> 00:32:01,252
What's going on?
Like, what's happening?
552
00:32:01,294 --> 00:32:03,046
We were like phone friends,
like...
553
00:32:03,087 --> 00:32:04,255
Oh, that wasn't from you?
554
00:32:04,297 --> 00:32:05,715
They almost made...
555
00:32:05,757 --> 00:32:07,050
There was a connection there.
556
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,220
And I finally met him.
557
00:32:12,931 --> 00:32:16,059
And I was like, "Oh, wow,
these guys look like somebody."
558
00:32:16,100 --> 00:32:18,102
Oh, what's up, man?
559
00:32:18,144 --> 00:32:20,146
Finally nice to, like,
put a face with a name, man.
560
00:32:20,188 --> 00:32:23,524

this music.

00:32:29,113 --> 00:32:31,824
Like, blown away.
And I was like, "Holy..."
565
00:32:35,745 --> 00:32:38,414
Wow. Like, this is great.
566
00:32:41,668 --> 00:32:43,586
I didn't have
a manager. I was like...
567
00:32:43,628 --> 00:32:44,796
Yo, you be my manager.
568
00:32:44,837 --> 00:32:46,089
Manage you?
569
00:32:46,130 --> 00:32:47,548
Yo, I don't know anything
about management.
570

Well, we can learn together.
572
00:32:51,469 --> 00:32:53,513
So I was like,
"All right, let's do it."
573
00:32:55,264 --> 00:32:57,892
After that, we went crazy.
574
00:33:02,897 --> 00:33:04,649
Every week, we'd send out tapes
575
00:33:04,691 --> 00:33:07,944
and then he would market them
around as best as he could.
576
00:33:07,986 --> 00:33:09,654
Five to ten new beats a week,
577
00:33:09,696 --> 00:33:13,116
and then I would then go around
to the A&Rs, to the artists.
578
00:33:13,157 --> 00:33:14,534
I was sleeping in lobbies.
579
00:33:14,575 --> 00:33:15,952

We met everybody
that was somebody.
586
00:33:25,586 --> 00:33:28,089
And Pharrell was coming
full throttle.
587
00:33:29,215 --> 00:33:30,717
Like, "I'm coming for the crown.
588
00:33:30,758 --> 00:33:32,969
I'm coming for you.
I'm coming for everybody."

a full-fledged conversation
as we're performing.

12 and a half won't work, man.
600
00:34:05,501 --> 00:34:08,087
Pharrell gets on the desk,
and I'm like...
601
00:34:08,129 --> 00:34:10,131
Bruh, why are you on the desk?
602

to knock upside the head.
609
00:34:29,484 --> 00:34:31,569
I had to have a talk
with Pharrell.
610
00:34:31,611 --> 00:34:34,405
Like, he had no money,
my unemployment ran out,
611
00:34:34,447 --> 00:34:36,240
we're all living
with our parents.
612
00:34:36,282 --> 00:34:39,202
This was, like,
everything I was banking on.
613
00:34:39,243 --> 00:34:40,286
I said...
614
00:34:40,328 --> 00:34:41,537
Hey, man.
615
00:34:41,579 --> 00:34:42,371
Yeah, what?
616
00:34:42,413 --> 00:34:43,873
Like, we can't do that, man.
617
00:34:43,915 --> 00:34:45,541
You're gonna, like,
kill yourself in this thing.
618
00:34:47,376 --> 00:34:50,088
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But, hey, I'm an artist.
619
00:34:50,129 --> 00:34:53,758
But selling beats,
that's a way to get in.
620
00:34:56,886 --> 00:34:58,471
Okay, fine.
621
00:35:01,015 --> 00:35:02,391
At the time,
622
00:35:02,433 --> 00:35:04,727
I chose to look at it
the wrong way,
623
00:35:04,769 --> 00:35:06,771
to think that, like,
I was being rejected.
624
00:35:06,813 --> 00:35:10,274
I didn't realize that I was
being told to train harder.
625
00:35:13,236 --> 00:35:14,612
-Hey, N.O.R.E.
-Hey, what's going on?
626
00:35:14,654 --> 00:35:16,447
It's N.O.R.E. Yep.
What's your name? Morgan?
627
00:35:16,489 --> 00:35:19,450
-Yep. Morgan.
-How you doing, Morgan?
628
00:35:19,492 --> 00:35:21,035
Good, good.
629
00:35:21,077 --> 00:35:22,620
So, I was just wondering,
630
00:35:22,662 --> 00:35:24,622
how did you know about
The Neptunes?
631
00:35:24,664 --> 00:35:27,083
What was it like
when you first met them?
632
00:35:27,125 --> 00:35:28,459
Uh...
633
00:35:28,501 --> 00:35:31,087
I first met Pharrell
because Rob Walker.
634
00:35:32,839 --> 00:35:35,258
And at the time, I had
never heard of The Neptunes.
635
00:35:35,299 --> 00:35:36,759
Two dudes, one Filipino
636
00:35:36,801 --> 00:35:38,594
and the other Black,
from Virginia Beach?
637
00:35:38,636 --> 00:35:41,848
Come on. This is--
This doesn't even make sense.
638
00:35:41,889 --> 00:35:43,391
But they played me one beat,
639
00:35:43,432 --> 00:35:45,268
then they played me
another beat.
640
00:35:52,650 --> 00:35:54,777
I remember
I was on my way to Miami
641
00:35:54,819 --> 00:35:56,779
and Pharrell said,
"This third beat..."
642
00:35:56,821 --> 00:36:00,283
This third beat, don't listen
to that until you get to Miami.
643
00:36:00,324 --> 00:36:02,201
Why? Why wouldn't I listen
to this third beat?
644
00:36:02,243 --> 00:36:03,619
And he's like, "Yo, listen."
645
00:36:03,661 --> 00:36:05,204
People take my beat sometimes,
646
00:36:05,246 --> 00:36:07,290
but people don't let me produce.
647
00:36:07,331 --> 00:36:09,167
I want to produce this.
648
00:36:10,001 --> 00:36:11,460
No one had talked to me
649
00:36:11,502 --> 00:36:13,504
like that before,
you know what I'm saying?
650
00:36:16,674 --> 00:36:18,467
It took everything for me
in the world
651
00:36:18,509 --> 00:36:20,803
not to listen to track three.
652
00:36:23,472 --> 00:36:25,725
I remember the hotel
like it was yesterday,
653
00:36:25,766 --> 00:36:28,144
and that's when I actually
listened to track three,
654
00:36:28,186 --> 00:36:29,478
called "Superthug."
655
00:36:38,529 --> 00:36:41,616
I took a risk with
these two kids from Virginia
656
00:36:41,657 --> 00:36:43,910
who had
this totally different sound,
657
00:36:43,951 --> 00:36:46,829

That's how I counted my bars.

00:37:03,804 --> 00:37:05,681
Listen, all we got to do
is get the hook.
666
00:37:05,723 --> 00:37:07,433
-And Pharrell saying, "We got
the hook." -We got the hook.
667
00:37:07,475 --> 00:37:10,519
He kept me
and just took out the "ones."

00:37:10,561 --> 00:37:12,647

-They're gonna laugh at me.

I remember bringing them
to Nas.
682
00:37:52,603 --> 00:37:54,563
But everyone was
a little skeptical
683
00:37:54,605 --> 00:37:56,607
because Pharrell purposely
684
00:37:56,649 --> 00:38:00,278
wanted to make hip-hop but
not look like a hip-hop star.
685
00:38:01,696 --> 00:38:03,906
You know, it's like opening
a bakery shop, right?
686
00:38:03,948 --> 00:38:06,617
For the first two months, the
bakery shop is not doing good.
687
00:38:06,659 --> 00:38:08,369
And then you go
and you tell everybody...
688
00:38:08,411 --> 00:38:11,080
This bakery shop is it.
It's awesome.
689
00:38:11,122 --> 00:38:12,957
Then you travel somewhere
and you come back,
690
00:38:12,999 --> 00:38:15,251
and the bakery shop is all over.
691
00:38:15,293 --> 00:38:16,961
Everyone is just--
They want these muffins.
692
00:38:17,003 --> 00:38:20,006
They want these cookies.
They want these bakery good--
693
00:38:20,047 --> 00:38:23,801
And you get to say,
"I knew this was gonna work."
694
00:38:26,554 --> 00:38:29,932
When "Superthug" dropped,
everything changed.
695
00:38:29,974 --> 00:38:32,268
-Forever.
-Hello?
696
00:38:32,310 --> 00:38:33,686
We started getting the calls
697
00:38:33,728 --> 00:38:35,396
to work on this
and to work on that
698
00:38:35,438 --> 00:38:37,940
and to work on this
and to work on that.
699
00:38:38,733 --> 00:38:40,234
The magic of
the music business is
700
00:38:40,276 --> 00:38:42,236
how many times
can you do it again.
701
00:38:42,278 --> 00:38:44,280
'Cause this is the hot seat.
702
00:38:45,823 --> 00:38:48,451
Not everybody can sit
in that hot seat for long.
703
00:38:49,827 --> 00:38:52,788
I remember watching
the Mystikal video.

returning my calls
to everyone calling.
711
00:39:05,426 --> 00:39:06,635
"Yo, can you hook me up

712
00:39:06,677 --> 00:39:08,054

Let's roll.
720
00:39:24,362 --> 00:39:26,322
So, did you
first notice Pharrell
721
00:39:26,364 --> 00:39:27,865
when he started having hits?
722
00:39:27,907 --> 00:39:30,993
No, I don't, I don't think
I paid attention to him
723
00:39:31,035 --> 00:39:33,871
in that way, to--
just to be completely honest.
724
00:39:33,913 --> 00:39:35,373
I knew Pharrell.
725
00:39:35,414 --> 00:39:39,502
I dated a girl in Virginia
who called Pharrell her brother.
726
00:39:39,543 --> 00:39:43,339
So I think I, like,
saw him at the airport.
727
00:39:43,381 --> 00:39:47,259
He was rocking the mustache
and trucker hats and all that.
728
00:39:47,301 --> 00:39:48,344
And I was like...
729
00:39:48,386 --> 00:39:49,512
He's trippin'.
730
00:39:49,553 --> 00:39:51,555
Um, yeah.
I knew him from before.
731
00:39:51,597 --> 00:39:53,808
He's Jay-Z. He's a legend.
732
00:39:53,849 --> 00:39:55,851
You know, I'd reached
a level of success
733
00:39:55,893 --> 00:39:58,646
as a, quote-unquote,
"superstar."
734
00:40:00,648 --> 00:40:02,191
I was always looking
for performers
735
00:40:02,233 --> 00:40:05,861
that was new and different
to give them a shot.
736
00:40:08,364 --> 00:40:09,698
For "Give It 2 Me," I think
737
00:40:09,740 --> 00:40:11,200
I heard the beat,
and I was like...
738
00:40:11,242 --> 00:40:13,119
What the hell is that?
739
00:40:14,787 --> 00:40:17,873
It was, like, new and quirky.
740
00:40:18,833 --> 00:40:20,501
And the next day,
741
00:40:20,543 --> 00:40:24,547
I was shooting a video
for another track.
742
00:40:24,588 --> 00:40:27,383
And Jay goes,
"I changed the single."
743
00:40:27,425 --> 00:40:29,093
What do you mean
you changed the single?
744
00:40:29,135 --> 00:40:31,929
He said, "I did it last night.
I'll play it for you."

-Pharrell.
-Pharrell?
756
00:40:57,163 --> 00:40:59,498
Pharrell just took it.

764
00:41:10,968 --> 00:41:12,887
At the same time
of being a visionary,
765
00:41:12,928 --> 00:41:16,849
Pharrell has, uh, an affinity
for, like, hood shit.
766
00:41:18,767 --> 00:41:22,271
He was fascinated by it,
but that wasn't really him.
767
00:41:22,313 --> 00:41:23,731
Or-or was it?
768
00:41:23,772 --> 00:41:25,691
No, he definitely
wasn't that at all.
769
00:41:25,733 --> 00:41:27,610
We mean really not at all.
770
00:41:27,651 --> 00:41:31,989
Not an ounce, not a drip
of street is in Pharrell.
771
00:41:36,452 --> 00:41:38,162
That's why we loved him so much.
772
00:41:38,204 --> 00:41:40,831
He was like the young brother
that we all wanted to protect
773
00:41:40,873 --> 00:41:42,166
because we knew
he had the talent
774
00:41:42,208 --> 00:41:44,502
to open up doors for all of us.

One time, everybody, jump!
783
00:42:07,358 --> 00:42:10,694
He was sort of, like,
finding himself and his way
784
00:42:10,736 --> 00:42:12,821
about how he was gonna deal
with this success now.
785
00:42:16,700 --> 00:42:19,286
Yeah, I think he went
a little crazy with it.
786
00:42:22,122 --> 00:42:23,374
This is my favorite game.
787
00:42:23,415 --> 00:42:24,917
This is Galaga.
788
00:42:24,959 --> 00:42:28,212
Everything in my house
is vintage.
789
00:42:28,254 --> 00:42:30,506
Some of the stuff is Dutch.
790
00:42:30,548 --> 00:42:33,801
I always wanted a house
like James Bond.
791
00:42:33,842 --> 00:42:37,179
But, you know,
Chad was, um, different.
792
00:42:37,221 --> 00:42:41,600
This is my wife's,
uh, glass collection.
793
00:42:41,642 --> 00:42:43,185
She loves art.
794
00:42:44,103 --> 00:42:47,231
This is the family room
where we watch TV.
795
00:42:47,273 --> 00:42:50,693
Lately, it's been so busy,
we hardly watch any TV.
796
00:42:56,699 --> 00:42:59,827
My ambitions were more eclectic
797
00:42:59,868 --> 00:43:02,580
than what we had
previously done.
798
00:43:02,621 --> 00:43:04,331
That was back when, like,
799
00:43:04,373 --> 00:43:06,917
they would look at you crazy
for working with a pop artist.
800
00:43:06,959 --> 00:43:08,544
Like, "Why would you do that?"
801
00:43:08,586 --> 00:43:10,879
-Rolling sound. Marker.
-Okay.
802
00:43:10,921 --> 00:43:12,881
Uh-oh. We have some gardeners.
803
00:43:12,923 --> 00:43:15,634
Let me go get them t-to stop.
804
00:43:18,012 --> 00:43:20,097
-Okay, we're ready.
-Okay.
805
00:43:20,139 --> 00:43:22,766
We got our... We got
our quiet back.
806
00:43:22,808 --> 00:43:26,228
So, for me, the idea of
working with The Neptunes
807
00:43:26,270 --> 00:43:30,733
was the most out-of-bounds,
weird idea.
808
00:43:30,774 --> 00:43:33,402
Like, they'd never really
worked outside of hip-hop
809
00:43:33,444 --> 00:43:34,903
when we worked with them.
810
00:43:36,780 --> 00:43:39,408
I remember the day
we went to the studio.
811
00:43:39,450 --> 00:43:41,410
-What's up, Gwen?
-Hi.
812
00:43:41,452 --> 00:43:43,454
-No Doubt.
-Hi.
813
00:43:44,413 --> 00:43:47,625
Pharrell was, like,
intimidatingly cute...
814
00:43:49,335 --> 00:43:50,753
...and hip-hop.
815
00:43:50,794 --> 00:43:54,882
And I'm not hip-hop.
I'm from Anaheim.
816
00:43:56,050 --> 00:43:59,386
Pharrell, he was like,
"I'll play you five tracks."
817
00:43:59,428 --> 00:44:00,471
I'm like...
818
00:44:00,512 --> 00:44:01,597
What? A track?
819
00:44:03,182 --> 00:44:06,352
At that time,
we just wrote songs as a band.
820
00:44:07,311 --> 00:44:11,940
But I remember he played us
the track for "Hella Good."
821

Oh, my God.
825
00:44:21,575 --> 00:44:24,286
This song is ridiculous.
826
00:44:28,874 --> 00:44:31,043
The band really was
kind of hesitant.
827
00:44:31,085 --> 00:44:33,253
We've never done a collaboration
like this before.
828
00:44:33,295 --> 00:44:38,092
I want to write a dance song
you could hear in a club.
829
00:44:39,176 --> 00:44:41,637

we can come up with.

How can we make something new

out of something
that already exists?
838
00:45:05,285 --> 00:45:07,037
To me, the most common thread
839
00:45:07,079 --> 00:45:10,082
of different worlds
is a feeling.
840
00:45:10,124 --> 00:45:13,168

leave hip-hop.

00:46:50,891 --> 00:46:52,810
I told somebody
the other day...
865
00:46:52,851 --> 00:46:54,269
First of all,
Snoop is very tall,
866
00:46:54,311 --> 00:46:56,939
and then he's in the studio
with like
867
00:46:56,980 --> 00:47:01,109
15 Crips who are all six-five.
868
00:47:01,151 --> 00:47:02,820
You ever been in a city
where you could see
869
00:47:02,861 --> 00:47:04,488
the fog really low?
870
00:47:04,530 --> 00:47:06,949
That's what it was like.
871
00:47:07,908 --> 00:47:09,868
Snoop has mystical vibes.
872
00:47:09,910 --> 00:47:11,954
Bow-wow-wow.
873
00:47:11,995 --> 00:47:14,039
I'm just, like, channeling him.
874
00:47:35,102 --> 00:47:37,938
So I made that beat
out of my mind.
875
00:47:42,484 --> 00:47:47,948
♪ Snoop ♪
876
00:47:49,825 --> 00:47:51,493
He had the drum pattern,
877
00:47:51,535 --> 00:47:53,495
but he had left a reference
for the hook.
878
00:47:53,537 --> 00:47:55,831
And he didn't say the words.
He just was like...
879
00:48:00,252 --> 00:48:03,213
So I had to figure
the words out.
880
00:48:04,172 --> 00:48:06,341
♪ Pop it like it's hot, yeah ♪
881
00:48:06,383 --> 00:48:08,343

885
00:48:16,143 --> 00:48:18,103
Then Chad came in
and started putting
886
00:48:18,145 --> 00:48:20,981
all of that
dynamic synthesizers like...
887
00:48:29,281 --> 00:48:31,533
That was like
the candle on the cake.
888
00:48:31,575 --> 00:48:32,826
We was like, "God d--"
889
00:48:38,707 --> 00:48:40,918

894
00:48:49,927 --> 00:48:52,471
This the crazy part
that they may not know.
895
00:48:52,512 --> 00:48:57,309
"Drop It Like It's Hot" was my
first number one single ever.
896
00:49:00,187 --> 00:49:03,607
-Skateboard P. Chad.
-What's up, bro?
897
00:49:04,775 --> 00:49:06,568
-That was dope.
-Yes, sir.
898
00:49:06,610 --> 00:49:08,403
This is a brilliant record.
899
00:49:08,445 --> 00:49:10,238
You gave me something
that I was missing.
900
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:11,740
I was always a bad gangster,
901
00:49:11,782 --> 00:49:13,450
but you couldn't see
the fun in me.
902
00:49:13,492 --> 00:49:15,953
-You brought out a smile.
-Hell yeah.
903
00:49:18,163 --> 00:49:19,623
Up until The Neptunes,
904
00:49:19,665 --> 00:49:23,877
we didn't really have
hip-hop superstar producers.
905
00:49:23,919 --> 00:49:25,921
And so, as an editor,
I was like,
906
00:49:25,963 --> 00:49:27,381
"I need to pay attention
907
00:49:27,422 --> 00:49:29,633
because I've never
seen this before."
908
00:49:31,134 --> 00:49:32,594
...talking about the state
909
00:49:32,636 --> 00:49:34,972
of hip-hop
and where we're at right now.
910
00:49:35,013 --> 00:49:37,140
So as a producer
who's basically dominating,
911
00:49:37,182 --> 00:49:38,767
what do you think about
hip-hop right now?
912
00:49:38,809 --> 00:49:40,769
Like, do you think people
aren't being creative enough?
913
00:49:40,811 --> 00:49:42,104
Too creative?
914
00:49:42,145 --> 00:49:43,772
-May I say something?
-Yes. Go ahead.
915
00:49:43,814 --> 00:49:45,607
What you think about me?
916
00:49:45,649 --> 00:49:48,276
-I want to know. Be honest.
-Uh, well...
917
00:49:48,318 --> 00:49:50,153
You should let me be on a cover
with my bike.
918
00:49:50,195 --> 00:49:52,489
-Oh, God. All right.
-I got a little bit of looks.
919
00:49:52,531 --> 00:49:54,574
I can make the girls get hot
and go crazy, all right.
920
00:49:54,616 --> 00:49:57,035
Oh, boy. Enough.
921
00:49:57,077 --> 00:49:58,704
Hip-hop-wise,
922
00:49:58,745 --> 00:50:03,291
I survive off of my addiction
to exploring new territory.
923
00:50:03,333 --> 00:50:04,960
-You know what I'm saying?
-Right.
924
00:50:05,002 --> 00:50:07,796
So watch out because the way
I'm-a do it is gonna be so fly.
925
00:50:07,838 --> 00:50:10,173

at the same time.

Pharrell took what they were
doing in high school,
1033
00:55:22,694 --> 00:55:26,781
and now that we have a platform
to really do real records,
1034
00:55:26,823 --> 00:55:29,534
he made it so the world can see.
1035
00:55:32,579 --> 00:55:36,124
You know, we go
on tour overseas, and we see
1036
00:55:36,166 --> 00:55:40,378
70, 80,000 people going bananas.
1037
00:55:44,674 --> 00:55:47,135
Like, that just opened our eyes
1038
00:55:47,177 --> 00:55:50,096
to a whole different
perspective.
1039
00:55:54,142 --> 00:55:57,145
We've been around the world
and people embrace him the same.
1040
00:55:57,187 --> 00:55:58,563
No matter where he's at.
1041
00:55:58,605 --> 00:56:00,398
Japan, Russia,
anywhere in the world.
1042
00:56:15,330 --> 00:56:17,040
It's funny, man, because
1043
00:56:17,082 --> 00:56:20,627
there's such a big market
for alternative-thinking kids.
1044
00:56:20,668 --> 00:56:24,130
I am, like, the biggest example
of a hybrid thinker.
1045
00:56:33,264 --> 00:56:35,517
-Star Trak.
-N.E.R.D.
1046
00:56:35,558 --> 00:56:36,684
-Star Trak.
-Nerd for life.
1047
00:56:36,726 --> 00:56:38,395
Star Trak.
1048
00:56:38,436 --> 00:56:39,687
Nobody told him,
1049
00:56:39,729 --> 00:56:41,439
"You can't do that."
1050
00:56:41,481 --> 00:56:44,359
Nobody told him,
"Black people don't skate."
1051
00:56:46,069 --> 00:56:48,113
What he sees, he believes.
1052
00:56:49,197 --> 00:56:51,866
But maybe it's the gift
and curse of him, too.
1053
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:09,342
See, a lot of times,
we do things with people
1054
00:57:09,384 --> 00:57:10,844
and they don't use them.
1055
00:57:10,885 --> 00:57:16,141
So we hold on to beats
that we feel, like, are special.
1056
00:57:16,182 --> 00:57:19,394
It's like wine. It only gets
better with time if it's good.
1057
00:57:24,691 --> 00:57:27,402
This beat was for Prince,
1058
00:57:27,444 --> 00:57:30,113
and he heard it
and didn't respond.
1059
00:57:31,656 --> 00:57:33,741
But I saw the potential.
1060
00:57:43,042 --> 00:57:45,211
I tried my best to get this beat
1061
00:57:45,253 --> 00:57:46,588
for Usher.
1062
00:57:46,629 --> 00:57:49,632
I begged him for that record.
1063
00:57:49,674 --> 00:57:51,342
And I was like...
1064
00:57:51,384 --> 00:57:53,261
What? Why would I do that?
1065
00:57:53,303 --> 00:57:54,596
He was like, "Because he's gonna
1066
00:57:54,637 --> 00:57:56,097
take that record
where it needs to go."
1067
00:57:56,139 --> 00:57:59,851

1125

Right. And when Pharrell said,

"I want this to be like
the LEGO movies."
1127

1137
01:01:22,553 --> 01:01:25,056

90 minutes of questions.

01:03:55,498 --> 01:03:57,124
What-- How long are you going?
When are you go--
1205
01:03:57,166 --> 01:03:58,876
Yeah. And I would stay there
1206
01:03:58,918 --> 01:04:00,962
and sing melodies
over what Chad was playing,
1207
01:04:01,003 --> 01:04:02,964
and Pharrell would come back
and be like,
1208
01:04:03,005 --> 01:04:04,841
"I'm working on
this skateboard brand
1209
01:04:04,882 --> 01:04:06,467
that I'm doing."
1210
01:04:06,509 --> 01:04:09,220
Hey, it's the new fragrance
from Pharrell Williams.
1211
01:04:09,262 --> 01:04:10,304
Gonna like it.
1212
01:04:10,346 --> 01:04:12,473
Because it smells good.
1213
01:04:14,058 --> 01:04:17,478
He did a drink called Qream
with a "Q" for "queen."
1214
01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:20,022
-Ladies like it, right?
-We love it.
1215
01:04:20,064 --> 01:04:24,235
That pink liqueur, it looked
like Pepto-Bismol to me.
1216
01:04:26,696 --> 01:04:29,323
There was a lot going on.
1217
01:04:29,365 --> 01:04:31,826
I wanted to be like, "You don't
need to be doing that.
1218
01:04:31,868 --> 01:04:34,328
You need to go create.
Go make some music."
1219
01:04:39,876 --> 01:04:42,753
The thing that happens
after you get success
1220
01:04:42,795 --> 01:04:44,338
is everybody got an opinion
1221
01:04:44,380 --> 01:04:47,341
of how you should do things
and what you should do.
1222
01:04:47,383 --> 01:04:48,885
That's when everybody comes in
1223
01:04:48,926 --> 01:04:50,511
with this
"shoulda, coulda, woulda."
1224
01:04:54,891 --> 01:04:57,184
I'm like,
"Yo, those are bad guys.
1225
01:04:57,226 --> 01:04:59,770
"They're, like, trying to get
on the next step of the ladder
1226
01:04:59,812 --> 01:05:02,273
through you," you know?
1227
01:05:02,315 --> 01:05:03,983
It's like
they were coming to him
1228
01:05:04,025 --> 01:05:05,902
with their "expertise"--
1229
01:05:05,943 --> 01:05:07,987
and I got air quotes up
when I say it--
1230
01:05:08,029 --> 01:05:09,572
to get records,
1231
01:05:09,614 --> 01:05:14,118
but they took away his attention
from what was important.
1232
01:05:26,464 --> 01:05:30,051
You know, I think
what is really important
1233
01:05:30,092 --> 01:05:33,971
is keeping your ear
to the streets.
1234
01:05:37,308 --> 01:05:42,313
And you can't do that
when your head's in the clouds.
1235
01:05:58,120 --> 01:06:02,667
My grandmother, she was sick.
1236
01:06:06,545 --> 01:06:09,382
She had an incredible
impact on me.
1237
01:06:14,220 --> 01:06:18,265
She saw things in me
that I couldn't see in myself.
1238
01:06:29,402 --> 01:06:32,196
I remember
my grandmother used to say...
1239
01:06:32,238 --> 01:06:34,281
"Find
something you love to do..."
1240
01:06:34,323 --> 01:06:37,493
...and you'll know
when it's right.
1241
01:06:37,535 --> 01:06:41,288
When you can find a purpose
for humanity in it.
1242
01:06:54,677 --> 01:06:56,887
But what does that really mean
1243
01:06:56,929 --> 01:06:58,681
at the end of the day?
1244
01:07:00,933 --> 01:07:03,519
I-I don't know.
1245
01:07:11,986 --> 01:07:13,654
Is Pharrell coming through?
1246
01:07:13,696 --> 01:07:15,239
He said he was.
1247
01:07:15,281 --> 01:07:17,658
I don't know if he is,
to be honest.
1248
01:07:17,700 --> 01:07:19,660
Why don't you just go
and raid his house?
1249
01:07:19,702 --> 01:07:20,953
Take us there. We'd love to.
1250
01:07:20,995 --> 01:07:23,164
So, are The Neptunes
1251
01:07:23,205 --> 01:07:25,499
the top priority
of your business now or...?
1252
01:07:25,541 --> 01:07:27,168
Mm...
1253
01:07:31,297 --> 01:07:34,258
-Maybe.
-"Maybe."
1254
01:07:35,384 --> 01:07:37,470
The Neptunes broke up.
1255
01:07:38,721 --> 01:07:40,598
So many of the people
in the room with him
1256
01:07:40,639 --> 01:07:43,726
when he was at
his most adventurous left.
1257
01:07:46,020 --> 01:07:47,396
It--
1258
01:07:47,438 --> 01:07:49,190
Yeah, it was,
it was a difficult time, man.
1259
01:07:49,231 --> 01:07:52,193
He couldn't pay someone
for a hit.

Businesspeople,
they're trying to tell you
1272
01:08:21,263 --> 01:08:24,391
to basically regenerate
yourself from a past time.
1273
01:08:24,433 --> 01:08:29,063
But if your best ideas
come from the future,
1274
01:08:29,105 --> 01:08:32,650
you can imagine your worst ones
are gonna come from the past.
1275
01:08:40,116 --> 01:08:43,744
I made the worst record
of my life
1276
01:08:43,786 --> 01:08:47,123
called "All Eyes On Me"
with Pharrell.
1277
01:08:48,124 --> 01:08:49,834
I don't remember the song.
1278
01:08:49,875 --> 01:08:52,044
Of course you don't
remember the song.
1279
01:08:52,086 --> 01:08:54,130
It's so bad.
1280
01:08:54,171 --> 01:08:55,923
It was trying to be pop.
1281
01:08:55,965 --> 01:08:57,216
It was like, "We're gonna have
1282
01:08:57,258 --> 01:08:58,801
"a record on pop radio,
1283
01:08:58,843 --> 01:09:00,845
"and we're gonna have
a hot record in the streets,
1284
01:09:00,886 --> 01:09:04,640
and we're just gonna have all
these fan bases all at once."
1285
01:09:04,682 --> 01:09:06,642
It was reaching.
1286
01:09:07,810 --> 01:09:11,230
I was in the studio with him,
and he's playing me
1287
01:09:11,272 --> 01:09:13,107
all of these songs.
1288
01:09:13,149 --> 01:09:15,860
It was-- It just
really wasn't that great.
1289
01:09:15,901 --> 01:09:18,404
And he says to me,
"This is the radio record."
1290
01:09:18,445 --> 01:09:20,656
And then he plays me
another song, and he's like,
1291
01:09:20,698 --> 01:09:22,658
"This is the record
for the girls, right?"
1292
01:09:23,909 --> 01:09:26,620
And h-he giving me a thumbs-up
like, "This is hot, right?"
1293
01:09:26,662 --> 01:09:29,165
And I gave him, like,
the sideways thumb, like...
1294
01:09:29,206 --> 01:09:30,666
Eh, kinda.
1295
01:09:31,417 --> 01:09:33,043
But he was like, "Kinda?"
1296
01:09:33,085 --> 01:09:34,712
Yo, just stop.
Just turn it off, man.
1297
01:09:34,753 --> 01:09:36,130
Just turn it off.
1298
01:09:36,172 --> 01:09:39,592
You're Pharrell, bro.
Like, what are you doing?
1299
01:09:40,384 --> 01:09:42,636
You don't make the radio record.
1300
01:09:42,678 --> 01:09:44,805
Like, you don't make
the girl record.
1301
01:09:44,847 --> 01:09:47,683
Man, you just make music, bro.
1302
01:09:49,268 --> 01:09:51,770
So when you say
he says he was lost,
1303
01:09:51,812 --> 01:09:53,147
I believe that.
1304
01:09:53,189 --> 01:09:55,482

When I looked over my shoulder,

I just didn't like
what I was doing.

I didn't like the decisions
that I had made.
1350
01:11:50,806 --> 01:11:52,975
The pieces
just didn't fit anymore...
1351
01:11:55,686 --> 01:11:58,564
...because relevance is a drug.
1352
01:11:59,481 --> 01:12:00,858
Staying relevant
will have you doing
1353
01:12:00,899 --> 01:12:04,403
all kinds of things
that you regret...
1354
01:12:05,863 --> 01:12:07,489
...just to win.
1355
01:12:09,658 --> 01:12:10,868

1356
01:12:14,830 --> 01:12:18,125
Pharrell, excuse me.
1357
01:12:18,167 --> 01:12:20,210
Carl Sagan?
1358
01:12:20,252 --> 01:12:22,379
Take a look.
1359
01:12:22,421 --> 01:12:27,384
The Earth, it's a pale blue dot.
1360
01:12:29,219 --> 01:12:30,721
That's home.
1361
01:12:30,763 --> 01:12:36,143
On it, everybody you love,
everybody you know,
1362
01:12:36,185 --> 01:12:40,689
everybody you've ever heard of
lived out their days there.
1363
01:12:42,024 --> 01:12:43,984
Every mother and father,
1364
01:12:44,026 --> 01:12:46,487
every inventor and explorer,
1365
01:12:46,528 --> 01:12:49,365
every saint and sinner,
1366
01:12:49,406 --> 01:12:52,034
every supreme leader,
1367
01:12:52,076 --> 01:12:55,913
every revered teacher of morals
1368
01:12:55,954 --> 01:12:59,500
in the history of our species
lived there.
1369
01:13:00,376 --> 01:13:01,794
The delusion that we have
1370
01:13:01,835 --> 01:13:04,630
some privileged position
in the universe
1371
01:13:04,671 --> 01:13:09,802
is challenged by
this point of pale light.
1372
01:13:10,594 --> 01:13:13,806
And there is no hint
1373
01:13:13,847 --> 01:13:15,599
that there's anyone
who will come
1374
01:13:15,641 --> 01:13:18,185
and save us from ourself.
1375
01:13:18,227 --> 01:13:22,773
That will happen
only if we do it.
1376
01:13:25,317 --> 01:13:26,985
Wow.
1377

And I might not have been
the best person.
1380
01:13:43,919 --> 01:13:47,965

...everyone wants you to win.
1424

The idea that
you want me to win."

-Yeah.

So after all that, did people
just think it was easy, then?

01:17:09,750 --> 01:17:11,668
Oh, yeah, of course.
1437
01:17:11,710 --> 01:17:14,087
I call that distant assessment.
1438
01:17:14,129 --> 01:17:16,590
No, it was just starting
to get hard.
1439
01:17:16,632 --> 01:17:18,050
Why?
1440
01:17:18,091 --> 01:17:21,762

if I could do it again.

how to make a song like this.
1452
01:17:57,839 --> 01:17:59,466

what does "alright" represent?
1549
01:22:43,291 --> 01:22:45,168
You know,
there was a lot going on,
1550
01:22:45,210 --> 01:22:48,338
and still to this day
a-a lot going on.
1551
01:22:48,380 --> 01:22:50,215

1552
01:22:50,256 --> 01:22:55,053

attached itself
to every struggle.

1569
01:23:35,260 --> 01:23:37,387
You know,
there's strength in numbers.
1570
01:23:37,429 --> 01:23:41,933
And to inspire people
to be aspirational,
1571
01:23:41,975 --> 01:23:44,144
you don't just aspire up.
1572
01:23:44,185 --> 01:23:46,396
You aspire left to right
as well,
1573
01:23:46,438 --> 01:23:49,315
because that's what creates
a unified front.
1574
01:23:49,357 --> 01:23:53,153
Without it, then you're just
like a broken community.
1575
01:23:53,194 --> 01:23:55,822
And we've had spells
where it's felt like that.
1576
01:23:55,864 --> 01:23:59,659
If we put our heads together
or our hearts together,
1577
01:23:59,701 --> 01:24:01,161
like, what can't we do?
1578
01:24:03,121 --> 01:24:05,457
The bird is even chiming in.
1579
01:24:05,498 --> 01:24:07,167
Why?
1580
01:24:07,208 --> 01:24:10,670
Because the crow gets it.
1581
01:24:10,712 --> 01:24:12,297
Yes.
1582
01:24:13,548 --> 01:24:14,924
Yes.
1583
01:24:14,966 --> 01:24:16,885
That's right.
1584
01:24:16,926 --> 01:24:19,137
You see? That's how it works.
1585
01:24:33,151 --> 01:24:35,320
Pharrell!
1586
01:24:35,361 --> 01:24:37,322
Hey! Thank you, Pharrell!
1587
01:24:38,573 --> 01:24:40,700
Oh, my gosh!
1588
01:24:42,911 --> 01:24:45,747
I'll never forget what
this neighborhood felt like.
1589
01:24:45,789 --> 01:24:47,082
Ever.
1590
01:24:47,123 --> 01:24:48,792
All of that is hitting me
right now.
1591
01:24:50,418 --> 01:24:52,462
That was my room right there.
1592
01:24:53,338 --> 01:24:58,009
My grandmother lived here
until, like, I was 15.
1593
01:25:20,865 --> 01:25:23,618
Why me? Why me?
1594
01:25:28,456 --> 01:25:32,127
I grew up with kids
that could do anything.
1595
01:25:33,628 --> 01:25:36,464
But no one saw
the propensity in them.
1596
01:25:37,674 --> 01:25:40,093
All I saw was talent.
1597
01:25:40,135 --> 01:25:41,636
Beauty.
1598
01:25:43,054 --> 01:25:45,557
Everybody has that.
1599
01:25:48,643 --> 01:25:51,479

1602

Trying to, like, take it apart
brick by brick.
1603
01:26:00,989 --> 01:26:02,657
Put it back together.
1604
01:26:02,699 --> 01:26:04,826
So it makes sense.
1605
01:26:22,969 --> 01:26:24,429
One day, you wake up
1606
01:26:24,470 --> 01:26:27,599
and you realize
that this was all designed.
1607
01:26:29,142 --> 01:26:30,727
And because it's a design,
1608
01:26:30,768 --> 01:26:33,605
