There's plenty of comparisons to be drawn between Kanye West and Pharrell Williams. They're two of the most acclaimed producers in hip-hop, for one thing. They both embarked on recording careers after establishing themselves behind the boards. And let's not forget their dapper fashion styles, either, which are noted at virtually every event they attend.

But if the two have been competing all this time, it's time to end the contest: The titans came together over the weekend in Miami to shoot Pharrell's new video, "Number 1."

The video is said to revolve in part around Pharrell's Billionaire Boys Club clothing line. The song was produced by Pharrell under his "Skateboard P" alter-ego, while Kanye chipped in with guest raps.

"Number 1" is the next video from Pharrell's long-delayed In My Mind LP.

In My Mind drops on JULY 25TH!!

Yeah it does seem kinda tacky to promote ur clothes through a song.

Ugh...Can I Have It.. flop

Angel ... flop


I hope he comes with a winner..although I thought Angel was one of the highlight songs of the year to me

'In My Mind', the long-awaited solo album from Pharrell Williams, is due for release on July 25, 2006.

'cause that's the future of making money in music...all the peripheral stuff.

I won't hold my breath until I see it in stores July 25th. I'm kinda ticked we've all had to wait so long with no info, at all.

i don't care about the music...he's fine!

Meet Pharrell's two younger brothers.

I dont know who that cat is in the middle.

This video is so incredibly funny. Best part is when they dance around the gigantic man purse. It really is a Louis Vuitton ad and nothing more - just like the Say Somethin' vid was. dreamfactory has he signed a contract with them or something?

VoicesCarry said:

Not that I know of. He is a fan of LV, as is Kanye. They are both really jet setting and flossin' in those 2 latest videos. He is leaving the skateboard themes and cutoffs behind, I guess. I do think the bag was a bit much though, but u cant please everyone all of the time. I still like the song though.

dreamfactory313 said:

I think I would like the song without Kanye, so maybe he will have a no rap version on some promo or something.

I actually love that he's going really upscale and chic in his vids. But the man purse had me It was massive!

VoicesCarry said:

I was put off by it too. U arent alone. The first thing I thought was, 'this was Kanye's idea.' It looks like Jimmy Hoffa's remains are in that bitch!

dreamfactory313 said:

Now the FBI digs LV, too!

VoicesCarry said:

hell yeah...
