'Pharrell: Places and Spaces I've Been' - Good Read

[B-Wonders]

Just picked up Pharrell's new book, 'Pharrell: Places and Spaces I've Been', and it's been a good read so far. Pharrell's influence on our generation is undeniable: music, fashion and lifestyle. His ability to branch out and be successful in all of his other ventures is impressive.

The book has got some interesting conversations; the one with Hov is dope (talking about 90's hip hop and Biggie). Going through the book and seeing all the different ventures that P has done, you can't help but the man.

Has anyone picked up the book? What are everyone's thoughts on Skateboard P and his impact on hip hop and pop culture in general?

Redefining cool for a new generation, Pharrell Williams is a creative force, using music, fashion, and design to express his distinctive style. Originating at the crossroads of art, design, popular culture, and street savvy, Pharrell Williams’s output is unique. By playing off different disciplines—namely music, fashion, street art, and design—and using each as an element in the other, Pharrell has redefined the role of the contemporary recording artist, blazing a trail for other musicians and prominent cultural figures. Illustrated with lavish photography, this book also explores his musical career in depth, charting his many projects from his production team The Neptunes, to the band N.E.R.D., and his collaborations with friends Kanye West, Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, and other hip-hop royalty.This unprecedented volume documents Pharrell’s prolific body of work and his contribution to contemporary culture. In his own unique graphic language, he details his extensive creative pursuits, including clothing lines, jewelry, and accessories designs for Louis Vuitton, furniture and other product design, limited-edition toys, graphic designs, skate graphics, and collaborations with Moncler, Marc Jacobs, the artist KAWS, and with architects Zaha Hadid and Masamichi Katayama/Wonderwall.

They all thank Andre3000.

I was pondering whether or not I should pick it up. I have the Bape, Supreme, as well as the KAWS books and I must say, I love Rizzoli's publishing style. I might pick it up.

I got it off Amazon. It retails for $55, but Amazon is selling for $32 and change (Pharrell: Places and Spaces I've Been: Pharrell Williams,Jay-Z,Ambra medda,Nigo,Takashi Murakami: 9780847835898: Amazon.com: Books). It is worth it my dude; very well put together with 240+ pages of dope conversations/interviews and pictures.

Skateboard P created the greatest brand in modern day Hip-Hop FACT.

How many guys can say they branched off at least 4 different genres, produced Grammy nominated tracks, made drinks, produced entire film soundtracks AND collaborated with a company to produce a dope line of highly successful clothing?

his career should be the blueprint for many Artists and should be defined as the greatest. He's ground-breaking in every sense of the word.

Well said my dude. Looking at P's accomplishments, I feel that he doesn't get enough props both in hip hop and pop culture as a whole based on his influence and impact.
