We're back with my friend Pharrell Williams,
the incredible brilliant Pharrell Williams.
[CROWD CHEERING]
So many different things you do, so many different areas.
You were here-- first of all, congratulations, on the album.
Seven years it's been, right?
Yes, ma'am.
Since you've done work with them.
Yes.
Was that pressure that it had been that long?
I go through modes.
You know how like there's like method actors,
I'm kind of like a method musician.
Like I dyed my hair green and next thing I know, I was like,
oh we're getting ready to do another N.E.R.D. album.
As soon as you dyed your hair green you knew that?
Yeah, I just knew.
Wow.
Right?
Don't you think that like sometimes maybe when
you get highlights or whatever, it
feels like all of your clothes are new?
You guys feel that way?
It feels like you've got a whole new lease on life.
I do.
[INAUDIBLE] or whatever.
I do.
I understand what you're saying.
I'm like that about music though.
No, I know.
I understand what you're saying.
Hey, last time you were here, really the last you're here you
were about to have a baby and it turned out
that three babies came out.
Yeah.
Three babies!
[CROWD CHEERING]
Yeah.
How are they?
They're good.
Yeah.
They are beautiful, and intense, and beautiful.
Yeah.
And do they all sleep at the same time,
or does one sleep and the others are up and then they
take turns?
They're pretty much on the same schedule.
Oh, that's good.
It doesn't have to be that way, but miraculously it is.
Yeah.
And they're pretty calm.
They're like super zen.
Really, all three of them?
Yeah they are.
They're like, they're cool.
In the very beginning it wasn't.
In the very beginning it was just kind of
like rage, rage, rage!
[LAUGHING]
And we were like, OK, you know.
And now they're zen.
Yeah.
Lucky.
Yeah, and it's 92 of them.
Yeah, lucky.
So you're producing Justin Timberlake's album
or you produced it.
What's that like producing with him?
Because he's a producer also.
Do you clash on things, or do you--
how do you do that?
No.
It's always, I mean whenever we get together is always fun.
When I met him we did a song for I think his last NSYNC
album called girlfriend.
And after that I mean we just kind of had a rapport.
He trusts me.
I was telling him, like look I think
you can do this on your own.
And not to squeeze anyone out.
I just felt that he was in that place, because he
was such a leader.
And you could kind of tell he wanted to call a lot of shots.
Yeah.
And I was like well you should be doing this for yourself,
let's do it.
And we kind of had the same rapport since Justified.
Yeah.
He's terrific, isn't he?
He's a good guy.
So you're performing at the NBA all-star game this year.
We have an 11-year-old fitness expert, Demarjay.
Who actually you saw.
You know who he is.
Yeah.
He's covered the game for us.
And I heard you both want to meet each other.
So Demarjay, come on out.
Hi, Demarjay.
Hi, how are you?
I'm good.
How are you?
You haven't met yet?
No first time,
[LAUGHING]
You're like such a--
your energy is amazing, bro.
Thank you, thank you.
Yeah.
You know I'm trying.
Yeah, no.
He's a very special kid.
Yeah.
And I heard that he, there's a song
that he does that he uses one of your words
from your motivational speeches.
I love you man.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Let's have a look at the clip, let's see what you used.
Who wants to tell you something.
A speech right now.
Either you work hard for it, or you don't work hard for it.
Yeah.
So you use that in a song?
Yeah when he said, "either."
[LAUGHING]
But he had like this interesting patois.
And I'm like seeing them or what looked
like you know maybe in New York City court, basketball court
or whatever.
But he had like to strong patois.
It's like, wow.
And it just fit the song.
It's a song called Secret Life of Tigers
on the N.E.R.D. album.
I got it here.
Well your parents cleared it, so we're good.
Perfect, perfect, perfect.
Yeah, yeah.
So do you have a new motivational speech
for this year?
Of course.
You want to do a little bit right now?
Yeah, let's go.
With the patois.
With the patois?
Yeah.
OK.
People it's not 2017 anymore.
It's 2018.
We have to realize time is short.
Time is ticking.
Yes, there's going to be dream stealers along your journey
who are gonna try to steal your dream.
But let me tell you what you do.
You stay locked, in focus, you have tunnel vision.
That means you don't see nothing else around you.
Of course there's going to be dream stealers beside you.
But let me tell you, you put that up and say,
uh-uh dream stealers, it's not happening.
I'm blocking you.
Bye- bye.
[CROWD CHEERING]
Thank you, thank you.
With people like that, kids like that this country's
going to be just fine.
Yep.
Thank you.
Yep.
For real.
He's pretty special.
All right, well you did such a great job last time
we're going to send you again to be our correspondent at the NBA
All-Star game, again.
