    wow, you guys just might have something special here…

    very cool. i’m always motivated by the music that you guys do. i love the concept of “seeing sounds”, that whole visual aesthetic music…and that guitar solo at the end was ridiculous (in a good way)

    “Sooner or Later,” other artists will follow suit. N*E*R*D sets the standard, “raises the bar” and basically touts excellence. The counter culture and masses are sickened by the bullsh!t videos we’ve been privy to lately. (Yep, I’ll speak for us.) N*E*R*D has an intelligent audience because of what they speak through their music – and to see a video in the making that is contextually relevant and aligned with current times is remarkable. How GENIUS to tie-in the realities of a downward-trodden economy with a broken spirit. I love the imagery, the Obama poster on the wall and mostly, the simplicity and story. N*E*R*D relates to US because they are down to earth, sincere guys. It ROCKS that they send messages to those of us losing jobs and feeling the crunch through their artistic expression and riffs that repeat in your mind when the song can’t even be heard. They get props from me for the substance behind this project, for the social tie-ins and the song is so great you’re forced to make ugly faces!?! The economy may be suffering, but N*E*R*D proves that art and passion thrive forever. We need more art in times like this!! It’s no wonder they get so much love from randoms and pro-skaters on set. They did a good job with following their guts and taking this direction. Loose camera angles, gray screens, the indie short film feel… Classy. Excruciatingly sick. Glad to get a dose.
    (That’s a long a@@ blog entry, huh? Sometimes, you just gotta let it do what it do.)

  31. misslaughalottt December 12th, 2008 2:40 pm

    my favorite song and i have a feeling this is going to be my favorite N*E*R*D video. I’m so glad you guys choose this as the third single. you really made this year eventful for me with the gitd concert, and the amazing show at the roseland ballroom…meeting you guys at the BBC/Ice Cream store back in may. Just simply a great year! I’m proud of the success you have achieved.

    I love it, Boddy Diesel!!!! Why is the guitar solo in the back?!?!? That’s the best part of the song!!!!

  33. justjoshin December 12th, 2008 3:24 pm

    Alright, the video itself looks like its gonna be crazy sick. but if i might say, pharrell has the DOPEST fit at the end of the video. Light blue button up, camo pants with the big cuffs. This dude is just plain filthy. From the clothes he wears (and makes), the jewelry, and lifestyle, and most importantly, the music, Pharrell is ill.
