Pharrell Williams In My Mind Dow: A Retrospective on the 2006 Classic Album



It's not like he disappeared from the music scene, Pharrell was still producing tracks for some of the biggest names in the industry.

The second part is the important piece here. So how does that work in practice? Let's say you have the word "feel."

I have to give a special shout-out to the best lyric teacher I know: Pat Pattison. This incredible genius taught me everything I know about lyrics and has opened my mind to how one word can change how the whole song feels. He's seriously unlocked the lyric floodgates for me.

Boi-1da: Personally, I don't feel like I am. I feel like I have a lot more to prove. Although I've been doing this for 10 years successfully, there's more for me to do before I even consider myself with them. ... In my mind, I'm still not there yet. I'm striving to be like somebody like Dr. Dre or somebody like Pharrell. Those guys have had moments in time with their music and have taken over decades. I still strive to be as greats as those guys.
