On Usher:
"He's just a maestro ... his voice is unmatched ... he supersedes what most people think he can do," Pharrell said. "I just love when we're able to do colorful black music. There's nothing like that. I love all kinds of music and all genres, but obviously just colorful black music is a good feeling for me personally... We were even able to squeeze in two bridges, which is a rarity for pop radio."
On Jay Z:
"He just continues to get better — it's like fine wine," Pharrell said of the rap veteran. "He's something else. When you talk to him, you see purple. He's wisdom."
