Pharrell Williams – I’m a PC

by Kevin Ma, October 7, 2008

Continuing Microsoft’s latest “I’m a PC” campaign, Pharrell Williams gives his insight not only on the state of technology but how music and life tie into the N.E.R.D moniker. Certainly more entertaining than some of the recent comedy driven pieces, Microsoft hits the nail on the head with this intellectual web-only short.

    I can kind of understand that Pharrell wants to promote NERD cause NoOne Ever Really Cares about the band (In Search of.. was great, their following two albums have been poor). What pisses me off is when people act as though money grows on trees and there is an infinte amount for the taking. That is YOUR accumulated labour that P is taking ~love Pinko

    ^^^ how is windows an epic fail. saying windows is an epic fail is like saying windows is the dream cast of software. and it cant be an epic fail because majority of the companies in the US uses windows. any way im not mad at SBP, its business nothing personal … I’m a Mac ;-)

    CHA-CHING!

    What’s worse? P using a Mac but endorsing PC’s…or P sticking to Dunks and then Bapes, but then doing Converse ads?

    Not to mention a Gold iPhone…. Oh well, get your paper Skateboard P. Like Dave Chappelle said, “I endorse Coke and Pepsi, whoever is payin at the time”. Jay-z did a PC commercial and was on the net searchin on a Mac. It’s not that serious

    Pharrell has said he uses Macs in past interviews
    Maybe he uses a Mac and uses Windows on it?

    Bullshit. I work at an Apple reseller in NYC and I know firsthand that Pharrell uses a Mac-based studio workflow. It’s easy to forget that Pharrell, Justin Long (”I’m a Mac”), and John Hodgeman (”I’m a PC”) are all getting paid in very real dollars for their very empty endorsements. I make no arguments for or against any one platform, but before you buy that next computer with your idol’s face on the box, remember that celebrities have bills, too.
