Which of These Singles is Your Favorite?
Pharrell album might snatch that #1 spot, sorry Rawse.
Pharrell’s Happy is a great example of how todays music is. people like the happy party feel good fantasy music over the gritty hard real music.
Thats why the south is still popular and New York isn’t.
CAN YOU BLAME THEM? WHO WANTS TO BE ANGRY ALL DA TIME
You can’ wallow in misery and enjoy your gritty music while you stare at walls in your empty bedroom with your earphones on but the rest of us will be enjoying that feel good party music socializing with drunk girls and clubbing and having fun.
