Rapper, super producer and fashionista Pharrell Williams adds feathers and ... patriotism? ... military chic? to his combat helmet on the cover of N.E.R.D.’s upcoming fourth album Nothing. The cover was photographed by Terry Richardson and the album is due November 2.
PW discussed the album's concept with Entertainment Weekly.
"At first, the album was called Instant Gratification, and it was good, but not good enough. It was our answer to this generation, which we have nicknamed the “microwave generation”: The Microwavers. Even though the microwave is old technology, it actually happens to be the mentality of all the people on the planet right now. Especially the kids—they want it now and they want it hot. They don’t want it ten minutes from now. With Nothing, we feel like we’re reflecting society.
Skateboard P was last seen strutting in Chanel during New York Fashion Week ... without his Chanel guitar.
On Friday in New York City's Times Square at Honda's CR-z launch event, Pharrell and N.E.R.D.'s Shay Haley performed "Help Me" and new music from the upcoming CD. See photos from the free concert and watch some video AFTER THE JUMP ...
Pharrell is very talented and super creative. He also is not homophobic. Props to him.

I like Pharrell, and I used to have a slight crush on him. But as I've matured, so did my taste. Now he looks like one of those skate boarder kids who's in need of a shower.

Oh, i guess the cover explains the beard he's been growing the last couple of months. I love Pharell and NERD. They're just really fresh!

I love the beard he's rocking right now. I might try and rock one myself.
