Pharrell feat. Kanye West - Number 1

Has this been talked about already? Pharrell looks like Tinky Winky with that bag.

I had a thread about the song a few weeks back but this is my first time seeing the video. It's catchy and definitely a better lead single than the other tracks he put out. This will probably get better rotation.

This will get attention just because its a "collabo". But this track furthers my believe that artists are dead and its all taken over by producers. Everyone sounds the same, the beats, the production, its all so tired already can we please get something new. If u noticed in the video they couldnt get Kanye and Pharrell in the same shot because their heads were so big. Hopefully these days of the producers are over so we can get back to some artists.

I'm getting major Off The Wall-isms even from the look of the video!

This could have been a Justin Timberlake song if Pharrell didn't have the balls to sing it himself.

Does this song remind anyone else of MJ's original demo for "P.Y.T."? Particularly the verse. Or am I just crazy?

Also he sounds a little like Randy Jackson.

Pharrell needs to release a new version witout Kanye rapping on it. Ballads and rap hardly ever go together. Kanye bungles this song mainly because there really isnt a convincing part for him.

I like the beat and the harmonies. This is the better of the three singles so far.
They actually paid Hype williams for this video? lol

I dig Pharrell he's got the Prince?steely Dan thing going. Kanye is on the way out.

what happened with Pharrell's solo record? It was supposed to come out, I guess the single bombed and now it's pushed way back. Seems it must have sucked or something. that song "Have it Like That" was just like the Snoop song, so it probably didnt do too well.

All the songs were shit, they tried releasing two singles and both tanked. I see they are trying again with this one? It is now being "released" on July 25. Or something. I'm sure we'll never see it.

For shame! biggrin

So you didn't cop the box set? If you like early solo adult MJ you gotta hear that song. It's what he originally presented to Quincy before Quincy and James Ingram basically changed the whole song into something else. Give it a download wink

hmm Oh my. That was... really, really bad. I'm sure it will be polluting the airwaves very shortly. And why is Pharrell dancing around like a MJ wannabe holding a handbag?

From the youtube comments:

"Not only can I believe he has a 'man' purse and sveral blouses on, but they are even DANCING AROUND THE FREAKIN' PURSE!!! WTF? It's bad enough Pharrell and Kanye are wearing hanky's and bandana's around their necks tied in bow's, but DAMN. I can see Pharrell's heart beating through that tight azz shirt."

Not bad, very Off the Wallish. I will admit Kanye yelling all over the song does take away from it. But I'm sure this will be better recieved on radio than the other two singles.

I see Hype has run out of ideas again. And I guess he's out of the stage of putting video above and below the letter box.
