ZiggyZiggs 30,036 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Lmao y tf is Pharrell sitting there and laughing? His last album with a HUGE single sold like 590 K in the US. And Happy was his last hit. He should worry about his own sales Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rat Boy 42,634 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I think it's Gaga. As mentioned before, the hints Jimmy is giving are so specific and align with Gaga. Like @Albertodift said, Jimmy probably has his mental timeline mixed up. If it isn't her, who else could it be? Remember it's a high profile star so we shouldn't need to be digging deep to find out who it is. "****ing rat" - @Dynamite Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dit 46,301 Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 On 7/7/2017 at 7:31 AM, Bradley said: ok still, Gaga writes all of her albums on the road and many of them were successful Expand yes but he is talking specifically about 1 record that he considers to have been an under performance. He did not say all the records the artist wrote on the road were not a success. He did make it sound like this was the first time that this artist had written the bulk of the work on the road but again with everything else mentioned in this thread to ignore or dismiss the fact that this is probably 99% about Gaga is strange tbh. We can disagree with his opinion but at the end of the day he was almost certainly speaking about Gaga now that I read a lot of these comments and made my own research. Can you pin point any other aritst who was considered a big success, signed to interscope, had big enough commitments that were valued at upwards of 50 million dollars (as mentioned in the interview) and later on under performed (in his opinion) other then Gaga?

gagagoogoose 30,952 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Didn't Gaga write 60+ songs for BTW when she was in the middle of the Monster Ball Tour? Some of the best albums came from artists being on the road. Eg. E.MO.TION Like Gaga said: “If god calls you, pick up the damn phone.” Ideas come during random times.

Arturo 40,746 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 The criticism was fine until they all laughed about it like it was some well known joke. Also Pharrell is in no place to be laughing. Outside of Happy he's as relevant to music as Ryan Tedder. Writing a bunch of stuff and just hoping that out of the trillion he wrote one or two will stick. Also im sure ARTPOP and Joanne have brought interscope more money than any recent female artists albums in their roster and most other artists in their roster excluding Eminem and Kendrick Selena, Lana, One Republic, Maroon 5, Madonna (since MDNA), and Carly aren't bringing in bank.

Also, I think Jimmy is probably taking about Robin Thicke... Paula was released in 2014 right after he toured for Blurred Lines and sold 24K first week in the US but 550 copies in Canada 530 in UK and 157 copies in Australia and that's AFTER a world wide smash hit single. ARTPOP and BTW are in different realms. AP couldn't dream of the Paula nightmare. Expand Makes sense. Probably why Pharrell knew who he was talking about.

Pharrell is a legend. Sure he might not the most successful solo artist but his impact as a songwriter/producer is undeniable. He was behind a lot of hit records in the 2000s. I'd do a little more research before throwing comments like that around. But yes, the laughing was rude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
