Ladies, if he’s:

- Dense yet very attractive

- Doesn’t take up a lot of space compared to others but rotates his body fast

- Has nuclear pasta

- Has an escape velocity one-half the speed of light

That’s not your man. That’s a neutron star.

I see it as a skills issue on the artist side. Pharrell has made phenomenal albums with artists from Justin Timberlake to Clipse.

There were artists in the 90’s and early 2000’s who worked with him and flopped. The ones who succeeded had something extra in their skills bag.

I got a question - Is there Pharrell fatigue, or are artists just not using him right?

▫️Lil Baby - Dead Fresh is a hit, but has been memed to death and I’d say quality is debatable
▫️Quavo - got middling reviews at best on what he no doubt expected to be a banger album
▫️John Legend - Did anyone even listen to this?
▫️AZ Chike - Lamb Truck Keys is genuinely great
▫️TI - Let ‘Em Know, another hit but was received differently depending on the audience (younger ppl less open to this song)

I don’t think it speaks to Pharrell’s capabilities as a producer, but more so just the fact that it’s a copycat industry and people see something that works, and try to repeat that even if it doesn’t make creative sense.

What do you guys think?
