Snippet of Pharrell's Complex Interview
Style Master General
Pharrell Williams got a lot on his mind. First of all, his money. Then there's his solo album. Not to mention his style and his music. Oh yeah, and the haters, too. Sit back as the Neptune beat bully tells Toshitaka Kondo how he really feels.

Let’s all be honest. The first time we saw Pharrell “$2 million for a beat, thanks” Williams, side by side with Noreaga in the “Superthug” clip— wearing a headband, yellow-tinted sunglasses, and a silk Hawaiian shirt—not a single one of us thought we were looking at the style icon of our generation. And even when he started showing up places in Dunks, a trucker hat, and a handlebar mustache, professing his love of skating and plugging his rock band, N.E.R.D., heads still weren’t ready. Matter of fact, the term “weirdo” might’ve gotten thrown around. Now, he’s looking more like an eccentric pioneer. Why? Because, well, he’s rich, thanks to all the hot-ass weirdo beats he’s produced. And also ’cause he’s largely responsible for the popularization of the streetwear uniform rocked by cool guys coast to coast. And now, rightly so, the man is catching more than a few checks for his influence, from, among others, Louis Vuitton, A Bathing Ape, and his own lines, Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream. Complex caught up with the Neptunes’ more visible half to talk about fashion, swagger jackers, being a neo-backpacker, and those damn Italian heartthrobs.
