The 25 Best Pharrell Hooks

Pharrell has been one of popular music's premier producers for the past decade, and he's still absolutely relevant. In the past month alone, he's made headlines for starting the entertainment company I Am Other, launching Qream Liqueur, joining Twitter, and raking in $10 million last year (according to Forbes). Still, we haven't forgotten what he does best: music. More specifically, choruses. Hooks. The catchy part of the song that everyone loves. We combed through P's catalog and pitted his greatest ones against each other. These are The 25 Best Pharrell Hooks.

there is a hook in that song, "DUDE".

Good list, but I was hoping to see the Clipse's 'Popular Demand Popeyes' on here. Pharrell absolutely killed that hook

Damn. This list made me realize how much Neptunes productions were apart of my high school years/early 20's

Excellent Job Complex... !!! Thiz list waz a nice read...

Great list but I think Rock Star deserved to be #1. ANNND I would have liked more lesser knwon N.E.R.D. but I can understand why it's not on there. Overall though nice.

cool, carry on
Lev August 18th, 2011 at 01:41 PM
What about Grindin'? even though it was not a hook
Chantel August 18th, 2011 at 01:42 PM
FYI, its not just Pharrell makin these hooks. There are 2 other members, Chad and Shay; all 3 are known as N.E.R.D. Just cuz Pharrell in the spotlight dont mean he is the only one makin the beats. Complex, yall shoulda got your fax straight!!
Chad August 18th, 2011 at 02:15 PM
Actually Chantel, N.E.R.D. is the name of his band with Chad and Shay but the Neptunes which is his production name under which he made all of these beats is just Pharrell and Chad, so you are right it's just not Pharrell it's also Chad Hugo but Shay isn't apart of the Neptunes he's just in N.E.R.D. Alot of people get The Neptunes and NERD confused
Chad August 18th, 2011 at 02:18 PM
but also as far as the actual hooks go, which this countdown is based on.. it is just Pharrell singing so Complex is right.
lame August 18th, 2011 at 02:13 PM
I DARE A MUTHERFKKER TO CUM IN MY FACE yeah, great hook. GAY.
Anon August 18th, 2011 at 02:23 PM
Clipse f/ Pharrell - Gangsta Lean was my favorite hook.
