Pharrell Discusses Grammy Hat & Updates Chad Hugo’s Production Work

    Pharrell’s hat was a trending topic on Twitter and other social networks on Grammy night (January 25). The producer-rapper-singer recently spoke about why the attention his hat garnered was unexpected. 

    “I was just wearing a hat,” Pharrell said in an interview with Los Angeles radio station Power 106. “You just never know those things.

    “I rest good knowing it’s just me expressing myself,” he continued, speaking of the hat that he says was made by Vivienne Westwood “as an ode to” Malcolm Mclaren. “I just don’t understand people who live in a box and are really comfortable saying, ‘Me too.’ It’s so weird to me.” 

    The topic of “me too” was a focal point of “Mr. Me Too,” a Clipse track released in 2006, which Pharrell and Chad Hugo produced as The Neptunes. During this interview with Power 106, Pharrell spoke about his relationship with Chad Hugo and how it has progressed over the years. 

    “Chad is working,” Pharrell said. “We’ve both been super busy…He’s gettin’ it. He’s workin’ on a bunch of projects and we’ll be doing a couple of them together as well. He needed to spend more time around his family, his son and his daughter and I understood that, but he’s still gettin’ it in…Chad is a genius.”

    1. So Pharrell says he doesn’t understand people who see something they like one someone else then wear it themselves. Less than one minute later says he saw Malcolm Mclaren wear that hat and he liked it so he wore it to the Grammys. Thats ok, creative people don’t have to make sense.

    2. I love the whole ” I was just expressing myself” defense and how it’s suppose to shield you from any and all criticism. Some dude will show up in a mini skirt, start dancing the funky chicken and singing “I’m a lil Tea Pot” and then when you make fun of it they say “I’m just expressing myself” and call you a hater. Fuck all that, the hat was ugly, dont mean shit to me if you were expressing yourself or they paid you to wear it, not my problem,. shit was just goofy and that’s it
