Pharell Williams is one half of the most in-demand production team in music today. The duo of Pharell and Chad Hugo comprise The Neptunes. Since they made “Superthug” for Nore, they have been making hits for everyone from Jay-Z to Britney Spears. Pharell recently spoke to MTV concerning their musically freedom, working with Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake and the rumour of his relationship with Beyonce Knowles.
“Everybody is letting us do what we wanna do, the most important thing is not having any real constraints and making sure something works for the artist and not doing something just to do it or to make money and just to have a song for an artist…We did seven joints on there, Justin’s album is incredible because of the amount of musicality he gave us the room to bring to the project. It’s a whole other level.”
“Beyoncé is a talented person, but as far as those rumors, they are just rumors. You know what happens, you work with an artist that’s beautiful and they automatically say something’s going on with me and her. She’s very much into her career and I couldn’t tell you about her love life. I don’t know her on that level. Girls, I’m still single. It’s a cute rumor, but it’s not true…The new Jay-Z stuff, I got some crazy beats, man…It’s crazy material, man, it’s gonna be classic, classic material. I can’t really talk about what the songs sound like or how many [I produced], but it’s incredible.”
