0:45 onwards.

Can’t believe I used wanna be like Skateboard B and N*E*R*D*.

I should’ve seen it coming with the hat ‘evolution’:

I'm not a fan of categorizing black people into "new black" "contemporary black" or whatever other silly categories.

That said, he's definitely mad condescending

He called himself a “new black”. It’s a call back to his own speech.

The ubiquitous star spoke to Oprah last week, blubbed while watching fan videos of Happy but, most curiously, defined himself as The New Black. "The New Black doesn't blame other races for our issues," said Pharrell, one of the world's most successful musicians, to Oprah, billionaire queen of the world. "The New Black dreams and realises that it's not pigmentation: it's a mentality and it's either going to work for you or it's going to work against you. And you've got to pick the side you're going to be on."

Pharrell 5'3?

He don’t look underdeveloped to u?

 

[Kasgoinjail]

I was with him until he dropped that
Overseer type vibe

 

[Billie Jean]

He don’t look underdeveloped to u?

Absolutely

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

Notice the prominent, "famous" Kneegrowz that fall into the bootstrapping rhetoric. Always absolving white supremacy and then brow-beating other Blacks.

 

[RaspberryFitted]

why did he look at his Rolex like he didn’t know it was on lmao

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

It’s easy to see why DMX didn’t like this midget mf. Met him in Joburg and he just gives off that vibe of “I’m different than the rest of the Blacks.”

 

[fact]

Seemed like a completely convoluted invitation to a “freak off”

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

Chad Hugo and that angry putbull looking dude would never

 

[Koapa]

Yall being a little too militant. The entire video is actually a great message for upcoming young brehs for whatever profession or just life. Learn how to control your emotions.

 

[DonB90]

Fake outrage incoming.

Dude said don't be emotional an take the opportunity afforded to you in the era we live in which is thankfully after the 13th,14th,and 15th amendment were passed and like clockwork first page is full of emotional responses
