How come Pharrell solo career didn't take off like Kanye's?

[Kliq_Souf]

In My Mind went Gold, but the album didn't get rave reviews.
What was the innanets view of the album? I wasnt really on like that yet.

Kanye and Pharrell basically crafted this new generation of rappers all about their fashion and vanity...
but Ye is a pop superstar and Pharrell is still just a mega producer...

short answer: dignity.

Because Pharrel decided to not join the Illuminati and now his career is suffering because of it.

 

[KnickstapeCity]

Pha-who?

 

[CELL]

Pharrel never wanted to be a rapper/singer/whatever

He always has and always will be a producer with the occasional song here and there

 

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

Kanyes main goal is CACnowledgment, Pharell's main goal is fukking supermodels in undisclosed locations

 

[Olu Dara]

In My Mind was wack tho
He should have stuck to singing and not trying to be a rapper

terrible thread

Pharrel just had the two biggest hits this past year. Blurred Lines and Get Lucky.

Kanye flopped.

huh?

Maybe by solo career you meant who is the biggest attention whore....

Pharrell is not suffering in the least.

Kanye's albums aren't even comparable to Pharrell's in the first place, part of a solo career is obviously dropping good albums and Pharrell's shyts have all been mediocre. Plus Kanye wanted to prove people wrong more than anything and probably spent more time crafting his rapper skills than Pharrell, and most of Pharrell's hits were on features or on production anyway, Kanye has hits across the board.

 

[Doctor Wily]

Pharrell has been and was always focused on creating lanes and not making any claim to them.
