In My Mind by Pharrell Williams album reviews & Metacritic score: One-half of the superstar production duo The Neptunes, Pharrell steps into the limelight with this long-delayed solo debut, which mixes both rap and R&B and inc. Jan 01, 2006 You'd think he would've been on his second or third solo album by the time the decent In My Mind was released in July 2006, but Pharrell has always considered himself a producer/songwriter first, a background figure who isn't a singer - and, for that matter, he's not much more than a competent MC.

Best Friend Lyrics Pharrell Williams
[Intro: Pharrell]
Yeah, yep
Spit my gum out right now, yeah
What up, world?
Got my inspiration in the studio with me tonight, feelin’ good
Got a lot to smile about
Talk to y’all niggas
Yessir, hey
[Verse 1: Pharrell]
My best friend say I’m bottled up, I need a fuckin’ therapist
But I can’t think of nobody I wanna share this with
Why should I open up on somebody else’s carelessness?
Pop, there goes the top, nigga, so here it is
Mama workin’ all day, Daddy out in the streets
Imagine ten years old, full of doubt and defeat
Growing up around criminals, with clout and deceit
My grandma Loucelle used to tell me, “You about what you weep”
She used to help me with my homework, addiction, subtraction
Added faith to my life and doubt got subtracted
Wanna skip your mind from crying? Better learn something, son
You be beatin’ on my couches, why don’t you try hit the drums?
Look, ooh, you see me, Ma, they wish they could be me, Ma
As I got better, her body was eaten by leukaemia
Seventh grade, it was cursed and sad
But the gift within it was when I first met Chad
But even Chad could tell you that my Christmas was jinxed
‘Cause Grandma Loucelle died on 12th 19th
I can’t help but wonder what kind of black cloud I was under
‘Cause fifteen years later, the other died that summer
Bummer
[Chorus: Pharrell]
My best friend told me (What?)
You be actin’ tough, that’s fine (Uh-huh)
But the weight of the world can really crush one’s mind
So let it out, P (What?) Let it out, P (What?)
Let it out, P (What?) Let it out, P (What?)
See, you won’t even know you hurt sometimes
Until you in conversations, it comes out in a line
So let it out, P (What?) Let it out, P (What?)
Let it out, P (What?) My nigga, let it out
[Verse 2: Pharrell]
Ayo, 1021 Atlantis Drive, nigga was action packed
That’s Atlantis Apartments, we live in half the back
That’s where the 12-year-olds there, they be flashing crack
And when they shoot you, nigga, they ain’t tryna pass it back
Ayo, Didi, Fleet and Marvian, can you imagine that?
The place we love the most, the hood was built to smash us flat
But I escaped ’cause I chased, what made me passionate
Now I got my skate team and spit these acid raps
So many niggas will rise, so many them niggas try
So many them niggas ended up duck-taped and tied
So many them same niggas, man, they moms eyes cry
So, they just got older, still on the corner with they pride
Well, let me tell you niggas something, I’m so glad you alive
Long as you got a breath, a pulse, nigga strive
Divine intervention this is, I heard a voice, nigga, listen to this
[Chorus: Pharrell]
My best friend told me (What?)
You be actin’ tough, that’s fine (Uh-huh)
But the weight of the world can really crush one’s mind
So let it out, P (What?) Let it out, P (What?)
Let it out, P (What?) Let it out, P (What?)
See, you won’t even know you hurt sometimes (Uh-huh)
Until you in conversations, it comes out in a line
So let it out, P (What?) Let it out, P (What?)
Let it out, P (What?) My nigga, let it out (Okay)
[Verse 3: Pharrell]
Jesus will arrange it, but Jesus won’t change it
Hold yourself responsible, on yourself, you blame it
You mad, nigga don’t articulate in Sans Script
I.E. we best friends, speak best friend language
I’m a happy nigga, you can’t approach me in anguish
Whoever said anything worth working for would be painless?
Can’t be mad at the world ’cause you and your girl ain’t famous
‘Cause you both on Bape, BBC and chain-less
Also you’re Range-less, therefore switch lane-less
Now you brainless, dangerous, ’cause you pull out the stainless
All of a sudden you smart, now you do something heinous
First time you get caught, now your ass is famous
No longer chain-less, and the bus switching lanes is a bad look
Your girl with ya man sellin’ lane-less, stop
Nigga, rewind and reverse slides three times
Reassess your thinking and trust me, it’ll be fine
First, picture your goal, and repeat, “It’ll be mine”
Or fuck it, nigga, just keep imagine killin’ me, fine
Now you scrunching your face, tryna ace attainment
When you should be tryna find a place to base your shame, nigga
Success is tangible, don’t wait for fame
I thought you would receive it better if I ain’t say your name
You unsure of yourself, sit still and think
Review those actions if it fit, put your name in the blank
[Chorus: Pharrell]
My best friend told me (What?)
You be actin’ tough, that’s fine (Uh-huh)
But the weight of the world can really crush one’s mind
So let it out, P (What?) Let it out, P (What?)
Let it out, P (What?) Let it out, P (What?)
See, you won’t even know you hurt sometimes (Uh-huh)
Until you in conversations, it comes out in a line
So let it out, P (What?) Let it out, P (What?)
Let it out, P (What?) My nigga, let it out (Okay)

“All songs produced by: Pharrell Williams for The Neptunes.” One has to admit the self-proclaimed “Skateboard P” is a “live by the sword, die by the sword” kind of guy. Pharrell and his partner Chad Hugo have laced beats for many of the biggest hip-hop hit songs in the last ten years, but whenever The Neptunes tried to be the stars in the booth instead of on production the results were mixed at best. Former RR writer Jayson Young summed up the dilemma well in his 2002 review of their rap debut “In Search Of” when he said of Pharrell “If this boy was a battle MC, he would be eaten alive by absolutely any rapper you can think of.” Harsh, but true. Pharrell is not an offensively whack MC given that he doesn’t try to portray being a hard-ass “Superthug” but no one will ever accuse him of writing a rap masterpiece. Maybe it’s not such a gamble to produce your entire solo album when you’re one-half of The Neptunes given their beats have made stars out of some really retarded rappers; then again Pharrell could have had an easy out if the album flopped and he had brought in a bunch of guest producers to do his shit. “It’s not my fault, it didn’t have that Neptunes sound.” No chance of that now for Pharrell, it’s time for the 15 tracks of “In My Mind” to either make him or break him as an artist both musically and lyrically. “Can I Have it Like That” featuring Gwen Stefani does get him off to a good start:

“Back in the day, my clouds was grey
And it seemed liked my angels couldn’t blow them away
But then I sold my first verse and copped that NSX
But I was still ridin in them thin-ass jets but now…
Man my vision so clear
Out the window of the Leer and I’m talkin on my celly
All the shit that you should hear, listen clearly now
… Hello? Can you hear me now?”
In MY mind I heard the voice of Del the Funky Homosapien echoing over and over again: “MC’s should know their limitations.” Thankfully Skateboard P does here – he’s keeping the rap simple and to the point. There’s something oddly charming about his vocal tone. He never shouts or gets loud, quite frankly it seems like his voicebox is made out of glass and would shatter if he did, but it still works. As much as I hated hearing LL Cool J whisper for an entire song on “Phenomenon” it actually serves as a good comparison, because LL still used his delivery and breath control to have a commanding presence on the song. Pharrell is no LL though – his voice is much higher pitched and he doesn’t have three decades of perfecting his flow under his belt. What Pharrell does have is those beats, and “Can I Have it Like That” delivers another Neptunes banger. The staccato drum introduction is a trademark that dates back to Run-D.M.C.’s “Sucker M.C.’s” but Pharrell didn’t go retro here – the song shifts gears after the intro into a low pulsing bass tone matched with a high energy tempo that instantly makes this song perfect for the club. What impressed me most is that Chad and Pharrell sometimes fall into the trap of finding one perfect bar and looping it ad nauseum, but here Pharrell keeps changing up the layers that accompany the bass. P even switches up the entire beat to an almost complete different song after the first chorus for a few bars before returning to the main bass refrain. The only bad thing I can say about this track is that Gwen Stefani was underused – would it be that hard to have her croon a bit?
Pharrell definitely (and thankfully) delivers on the production for “In My Mind.” The swinging synths of “How Does it Feel?” evoke the feeling of cooling in Florida on a warm summer night. “Best Friend” is that kind of R&B production you’d hear on the radio that WOULDN’T make you change the station – smooth and playful with just enough hip-hop attitude. P also picks the right guests to go along with his beats. It’s no surprise to hear Slim Thug on the hard-edged “Keep it Playa,” Snoop Dogg on the slick love track “That Girl,” or Nelly on the suprising rock/pop anthem “Baby.” Pharrell does more singing than flowing on this beat but that’s okay because St. Louis’ finest holds it down for him when it’s rappin’ time:
Pharrell In My Mind Prequel
“As I look through the crowd of pupils into your pupils
Yeah boo I see you too
Damn right I wanna do you too
In your eyes I can tell what you’re thinkin
Why ain’t we somewhere hot for the weekend
Seafood eatin – I heard you like Red Lobster
You the type might like to sunbathe
Jump off the yacht, jet skis or runways”

It seems obvious by the time I’ve finished with “In My Mind” that this isn’t an album that should have trouble finding an audience. When he’s called on to do it for delf on tracks like “You Can Do it Too” and “Our Father” he does what’s appropriate – keeping his own lyrics and delivery simple and effective; even switching up to singing when necessary or hitting a Curtis Mayfield like falsetto on songs like “Angel.” At other times he lets the guests speak for him and they do it quite well, from Jay-Z on “Young Girl” to Kanye West on “Number One.” Let me also be a little bold (some might say crass) and proclaim that I expect a lot of people to be doing the nasty to “Take it Off (Dim the Lights)” this year. Despite my reservations about how Pharrell could handle a solo album going in, it’s clear he took his time with “In My Mind” and decided to do it the right way. At the end of the day I can’t fault him for being Skateboard P – he’ll never win any of those freestyle battles but he can damn sure make a record that you’ll enjoy listening to multiple times.
