🛹 threee songs for a pharrell appreciation session

It was my goat Pharrell’s 50th (but, like, looks-wise 28th?) birthday this week, and you may have seen that he’s set to be the new creative director at Louis Vuitton. If you know me, then you know he’s been my #1 cultural icon since I was in middle school. I spent my days whistling “Drop It Like It’s Hot” and tapping the "Grindin’" beat on lunch tables. Given his decades of continued success and relevance, it’s only right we pay our respects.

“Margarita” by Sleepy Brown feat. Pharrell and Big Boi
Released Jan 2006—Spotify

The pastel polo and jorts—visionary 🥹. A criminally overlooked summer anthem from Pharrell’s discography.

“Breakout” by N.E.R.D.

Push people! Praying for the return of Pharrell, Chad, and Shae.
