Pharrell having the top 2 songs in the US and being the biggest star of this summer makes me feel so vindicated in my years of stanning.
The king is back.
Edit - I'm not even going to say the songs (Get Lucky and Blurred Lines) are perfect songs, but they are great songs and in the case of Get Lucky, really fucking awesome. Pharrell makes flawed music. He has a mediocre voice, he uses shitty midi sounds and samples, he's somewhat corny, but his arrangements and knack for making the best out of nothing is what makes him a GOAT. With a shit voice like his, he transcends a 70's/80's disco homage into the most ACCURATE emulation of a new Michael Jackson song. Yeah, the song is long and repetitive but it does the job of making you want to DANCE and be HAPPY.
Blurred Lines is just FUNKY. Shit you can dance to, vibe to, nod your head to, just anyone can enjoy. Yeah the fisher price sounds suck but the arrangement and the drums just go.
And on the other side, Twerk It has an insane beat with some mediocre sounding drums but that water drop sample, godDAMN. It just goes and Busta does it so much justice.
Also not to be underrated is Pharrell's beat on the new Mac Miller album. The beat itself is okay but the arrangement is so good that Odd Future's The Internet, and Mac Miller, made that song one of his best. I hope Mac uses live instrumentation live on his tour with the Internet being there, because it would benefit him.
Goddamn Pharrell.
