Pharrell Cries "Happy" Tears During Oprah Winfrey Interview

Pharrell was so overjoyed with emotion during his interview with Oprah Winfrey for an episode of Oprah Prime that he couldn't help but start sobbing. It all started when the pair began talking about his catchy song "Happy."

"Zero air-play, nothing. And the next thing you know, we put out the video on November 21 and all of a sudden—boom. I mean, when I say boom, I mean boooooom," Pharrell told O.



"And we were like, what's happening? First of all, people are putting up their own videos. It was like no longer my song."

That led to Winfrey cueing a montage of videos from all over the world of people getting happy to "Happy"—that's when the musician couldn't hold it in any longer.

"You know, I was just thinking about your grandmother. I bet she didn't even imagine that," Oprah tells Pharrell who is wiping tears off of his face.

He joked, "Why am I crying on Oprah?" Winfrey responded, "It's being used for something that's greater than yourself. I get that."

"It's overwhelming because it's like I love what I do," Pharrell said, "and I just appreciate the fact that people have believed in me for so long, that I could make it to this point to feel that."

Kanye West – Black Skinhead | Video

Notably without a radio single to speak of, Kanye West‘s Yeezus sees its first single of sorts with the official visual accompaniment to the hard-hitting “Black Skinhead.” Having first popped up on an in-house web page for Universal Music Group, the black and white production is entirely computer generated and predominately features an animated West following a brief introduction reminiscent of the backdrop from the track’s Saturday Night Live debut. Is a video game-esque Yeezy what you were expecting from Yeezus‘ first music video?

What Is Your Favorite Jay-Z Album?

Yes, I know. There are not too many questions that have been asked in music as frequently as what is the best long-player by one of hip-hop highest regarded emcees. And with every release of a new album by Jay-Z, this question becomes relevant again. Does teh Brooklyn native still got it? Are his lyrics still as potent and is the beat selection on point? Yesterday's arrival of his twelfth studio album Magna Carta...Holy Grail has sparked all these questions and more. Who's to blame anyway. Shawn Carter's catalog encompasses countless classics that have continuously raised the bar for any modern-day music release - whether in terms of content, marketing strategy and overall impact.

Behind Kanye’s Mask - NY Times Interview

Kanye West, the prodigiously talented and at times controversial hip-hop star, will release his sixth studio album, “Yeezus,” on Tuesday. He recently looked back on his life and career in an extensive interview with Jon Caramanica, a pop music critic for The Times.

“No rapper has embodied hip-hop’s often contradictory impulses of narcissism and social good quite like he has, and no producer has celebrated the lush and the ornate quite like he has,” Mr. Caramanica writes. “He has spent most of his career in additive mode, figuring out how to make music that’s majestic and thought-provoking and grand-scaled. And he’s also widened the genre’s gates, whether for middle-class values or high-fashion and high-art dreams.”

This piece will appear in print in the June 16, 2013 issue of The New York Times
