Jay-Z and Pharrell Williams teamed up for the touching track “Glory,” which was released shortly after the birth of Blue Ivy Carter. But according to Skateboard P, the song was entirely premeditated. During an interview with MTV News on the red carpet at the Academy Awards, the Neptunes producer said that it was a nod to Stevie Wonder’s “Isn’t She Lovely” and intended to commemorate the moment.
“It was something we had planned before it happened, so we were basically waiting,” he said. “That was like our nod and homage to when Stevie [Wonder] did it for his baby, Asia [on ‘Isn’t She Lovely’]. And we weren’t trying to make the same song at all, it was like we wanted to capture a moment in time to commemorate the birth of his baby. I did the same thing with [my baby] Rocket, I’m just more quiet and private about my life.”
Pharrell noted that Hov and Beyonce are constantly in the public eye, so it was important for him to make this sort of statement about his child.
“But he and his beautiful wife, they live a different lifestyle and for him it was important for him to stop everything that he had going on and just sort of make statement to his baby and his wife,” he said. “I was honored to be a filmmaker for that beat.”
wack song
apparently a “wack” song that was loved on this site, a site full of trolls even liked it.

…there you go you faggots. Also, just because a song gets plays doesn’t mean that it’s “liked” you retard. Look at all the views Nicki, Wayne, and Drake get, but look at the score that the songs are usually given. 1-2’s. Try again before you act like you know what you’re talking about.
fuck y’all imbeciles. arguing shit.fuck outta here !!!!
No. NO. NO.
Stop with the comparisons to the great Stevie Wonder. Just stop it.
Heck that just said it right there in the interview that this was about attention seeking and just seeking sales and whatever else. We didn’t need to hear it. They felt as if the world wanted to hear it. Arrogance personified.
God bless the child. But my God…just stop all of this nonsense. Seriously.
If you read the article he didnt compare the song with Stevie Wonder’s, but the intent behind it. Which is fair. Also just because YOU didnt want to hear it doesnt mean the world didnt want to hear it. Like Pharrell said their lives are under a microscope, even more so when Beyonce got pregnant. What was so bad about the song? He just simply expressed how he felt about being a father to a new born child. I’m positive that its relative to every father out there.
AP is correct.
Stop with the comparisons to the great Stevie Wonder!!

shit is a joke. the song is garbage and on NO level can be compared to stevie’s WORST song let alone isn’t she lovely. pharell is embarassing himself here. and this is not the first time either.
shit was all good just a week ago”, dam jay stay losing.

Beyonce should of aborted her baby.
nice comment brother, very evil and maniacal. Now join me in the dark circle for an arousing session of buttsex as your reward.
He and his beautiful wife …… thats right son!
Like i said the other day. He is just trying to reimage himself to us. We already view him as the old boring rapper that’s stuck in 2007(his last success) so now he wanna come at us all nice with open arms like regular niggas…but next year he’ll have a album coming out and be tlkn shit. He thinks him doing all this good will overshadow how he disses people and also to help sell records
no young uneducated friend, U look at Jay that way. I like most people look at him as one of our leaders of the hiphop culture!
Jay doesn’t need to try and sell records, he sells.
He doesn’t diss unless you come at him first with some slcik shit.
“I Will Not Lose!” – Jay-Z
You must’ve never heard of ‘Empire State Of Mind’ or ‘Run This Town’.
OF COURSE IT WAS JAY BEEN WANTING TO PIMP THAT KID SINCE BEYONCE SAID SHE WAS PREGO. JAY ALREADY SOLD HIS SOUL TO THE DEVIL
Ayo! Weren’t you the same person that said Jay and B will sell the babys pictures to the highest bidder!?
They just put it out for the world to see without making a dime on it.
Your a joke for real.
you stupid
jayz and beyonce think because they are the richest family in music that the world revolves around them and thier child. that the whole world should pause and celebrate their daughter. its sickening. I rmrbr when Beyonce was a young rising star in Destiny’s CHild, she was so humble and god-fearing. She has done a complete 180 since then
I am glad so many people know the relationship between God and Beyonce, I am sure God is thanking you for the help. Yall pussies all yall. Focus on your own life.
For anyone to think that wayne is better than Stevie Wonder is either 3 years old or smoking crack. For those of you that keep talking about Jay and B, I hope you this focus in school or your kids school.
Are some of you niggas serious? are you really comparing Stevie Wonder & Lil’ Wayne? y’all niggas retarded
I like this song!!

I always liked Pharrell’s shit, but seriously?!? Don’t ever compare that bullshit song to Stevie Wonder’s gem. What’s with all these producers and folks comparing this, that and the other…smfh…
He said he’s paying homage not comparing. go pick up a book
