Pharrell Says He’d Like To Work With 50 Cent

    Complex recently released the outtakes from their previously published interview with Pharrell Williams, including the announcement of the release of his next non Hip Hop album.

    During the outtakes, Pharrell was asked about fully producing a 50 Cent album to which he responded how he would do it if they ultimately came together.

    “I would love that,” Pharrell said. “But, you know, he would have to see why that makes sense…for himself. That doesn’t mean it makes the ultimate sense, I mean you know, people could read this and be like, what?! Ew, no. Don’t fuck with Pharrell.” You know? I would love to make an album with 50 that felt like a film. ‘Cause he’s an actor. He’s an actor and a rapper and all these other things. I would wanna put all those talents together and try and make a cohesive body of work that was all about him.

    “I’d just be Mario Puzo. I don’t have to be Corleone. I don’t have to be in it at all. I could just be the air in the room, which is just the storywriter or the backdrop. Cause he’s the storywriter.”

    50 Cent recently announced that he plans to release release of a “full body of work in January,” according to Huffington Post. The “full body of work” may or may not be an album and it is set to include original material.

    Toward the end of the outtakes, Pharrell dropped some hints about work he may have coming with film composer and music producer, Hans Zimmer.

    “Just remember me and Hans Zimmer,” Pharrell said when asked about how he manages different artists. “Just remember that. I can’t say anything else yet, but I’m super pumped up. And I rarely do that. I rarely tip people off, but this is Complex and Noah has always been incredibly, incredibly supportive. And has had a non-stop belief. I’m just incredibly thankful. Anything for you guys.”

    Pharrell and Zimmer have worked together before. Previously, Pharrell and Zimmer composed and produced the music for the 84th Academy Awards and participated in the drummer sessions of the soundtrack of Man of Steel by Zimmer.

      1. Cause Pharrell a has been himself and don’t come at me with that “Get Lucky” shit cause it’s Daft Punk’s shit not his

    1. This could be exactly what 50 needs quite clearly his current formula isn’t working so maybe some advice/production from someone outside his comfort zone will work

      1. 50 is a rich a/f business man involved in multiple projects including energy drinks (him and African families profit),ThisIs50, headphones, boxing promotion etc… what are you doing? im assuming you must be doing more if you consider him “dead”?… he hasn’t been that active in music but even still he will release a music video made by him and get millions of plays on youtube and still get current mainstream artists such as kendrick and wiz wanting to collab with him.. like seriously gtfo… even some of his oldest songs are still some of the most relevant songs in music today and are played constantly..

    2. 50 Cent is finished:

      GRODT = 8 million
      The Massacre = 5 million
      Curtis = 1 million
      BISD = 500,000

      From 2003-2009 he had a career but his teen fan base turned 18 and moved on without him.

      1. 50 is still selling more than most of the rappers out, the times has changed tho.. and BISD leaked like early, thats why it did so bad.. it had like 300k illegal downloads before the album was released

      2. He stopped being relevant in music around “curtis”. That album only went platinum because of the gimmick with kanye.

      1. They asked Pharrel about a 50 Cent album, Pharrel didn’t come out and say he wanted to work with 50 Cent, no one wants to work or collab with 50 Cent because he is so negative.

      2. and thats why pharell went into so much detail instead of brushing the question off… apparently… probably why 50’s name was brought up to begin with despite staying out of music for quite a bit and focusing on other things..

    3. 50 Cent is irrelevant but he made 7mil this year which is more than quite a few rappers, how I’d love to be irrelevant and make 7mil

      1. Will Smith made 25 million last year but as a rapper he is still irrelevant so what’s your point?
        JayZ is relevant on the Forbes list and on the HipHop charts Fiddy is relevant in the world of energy drinks and cheesy headphones.

      2. the hate is strong in BruthaDee’s soul!!! Why would someone who dislikes 50 Cent so much post multiple comments on an article about him… on a Saturday night no doubt!

      3. “the hate is strong in BruthaDee’s soul!!! Why would someone who dislikes 50 Cent so much post multiple comments on an article about him… on a Saturday night no doubt!”

        Why do you feel the need to mention him in 99% of your posts? Is it a mancrush or are you actually Bruthadee or whoever hyping himself up?

      4. whats so real about stealing white boys instagram pics and making up stories about the prince of saudi arabia sending you gifts? he been exposed for being a lying fraud too many times to count

      5. No album or touring yet his made 7mil thats more than certain rappers (no names) who’s dropped an album of some sort and toured

      6. 50 is a businessman and is successfully building up huge amounts of money… his boxing promotion, energy drinks which also feeds people in Africa, headphones etc.. i trust him with new music because at least money wont be the motive… i also think the label has a lot to do with the album being pushed back.. hopefully em and 50 make something big together in the future..

    4. just before I looked at the paycheck which had said $9918, I didn’t believe …that…my father in law was like they say realie erning money part-time from their computer.. there sisters roommate started doing this 4 only nine months and by now repaid the loans on their mini mansion and purchased a great new Dodge.

    5. In other news, Kanye West said he would like to work with Beethoven. the only person he considers to be on the same level of “Creative Genius” with.

    6. Curtis is never dropping again. He announced this album in 2010 and he’s gotten pushed back at least 20 times now…He’s scared to drop because he made fun of everyone’s low sales before and he knows he’s not going to sell shit. lol

      1. you a fucking lie,you can go look that shit up every fucking album 50 has dropped has been over platinum. You niggas kill me talking a bunch of bull shit. Lets not talk about niggas like Ross who got like 8 or 9 albums and not one has went platinum

      2. 50 not loyal dat wuz his downfall he lost everyone cuz of his ego from his fans to his own boys mayweather n banks dont even fuck with him all he talked about wuz sales games sales dis ross sales dat n dey both doin dere thin now while 50 scared to drop n if buck n banks wernt tied to his contract dey be droppin music too is a shame how big 50 wuz but atleast he caked up n set for life lol

      1. Mac Miller’s only decent projects are KIDs and Best Day Ever, and even those only showed a glimpse of potential that had yet to mature. But since then everything he has done has become increasingly a parody of himself. I’d be surprised if his next project is able to break 100k.

    7. until I looked at the bank draft saying $5501, I didn’t believe that…my… brothers friend was like they say really earning money part-time from there computar.. there friends cousin haz done this 4 only 10 months and resently cleared the depts on there cottage and bought a great Buick. try here… http://www.Fb39.Com

      How is Yeezus not nominated for album of the year but Macklemore’s is? These awards are so trash its honestly sad that they are considered to be so prestigious among popular culture.

    8. 50 can still do Big Sean’s first week numbers or better. To bad he clowned Rick Ross and Game’s sales before,and he has to much ego to sell less than them therefore he might never put out an album as he still rich.

      1. i dont remember him clowning rick ross sales other than that triple c’s album that sold like 6000 copies when gunplay and torch were on video talking tough… we all know how that worked out for gunplay

      2. word das wut im been think diz whole time he not comin out till one if his singles hits a top 10 billboard he afraid of sellin less den ross or game lol

      3. Ppl stop sucking 50’s dick that guy fell off admit no one want to hear repetation lyrics again and again unless find better ghost-writer. And then why Pharrell want to ressurect dead (50 cent) and also Game ends 50’s music career !!!!!!!!!

        #WESTCOASTRULES

      4. Yo Jayceon don’t you got a 600 Bars or something to work on. Where that Youknowwhatis V5 at? Kick rocks fools. You lost yo pass when you signed to Cash Money. Ja Rule knows whats up

      5. Game ended what now? the nigga whos last 2 albums aint even halfway gold? the nigga who signed to YMCMB instead of being his own boss?
