Pharrell recently sat down with Jason King, a professor of Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music for an in-depth conversation to discuss the highlights in his 20-year career. He shares that Kelis’ “Milkshake,” Nelly’s “Hot in Herre,” Snoop Dogg’s “Drop it Like It’s Hot” and Clipse’s “Grindin” were some of the greatest hits in his catalog.
