Why are a lot of people casually forgetting about Chad(especially here on youtube)? He came up with licks chords and so much more that would literally change the course of the song and even spark the idea of a new song. He is the other genius next to Pharrell. Without Chad there wouldn’t be The Neptunes and vice versa. They literally need each other for the famous Neptunes sound. Best chemistry in producing ever. Listen to Pharrell’s solo stuff, great of course, but not that typical sound structure and feel. Chad is the freaking whizz-kid on keys and guitar and more! 🔥🔥🔥come on people! Give it up for Chad👏🏾🙌🏾👏🏾!!
Except he is a main portion. It's 50/50 not 70/30 or 80/20 or whatever ratio you believe. Pharrell is the face. But the neptunes as a production team and n.e.r.d exist not just because of Pharrell, but Chad as well.
@@MsTy2908 you actually proof my point about peoples misguided opinion, he is the main portion just as much as Pharrell is. Is he the face of the Neptunes, obviously not, is he just as important for the music the Neptunes, produced, 100% yesss🔥
I’m sorry but no mainstream group of pop / hip hop producers are genius. These guys are talented but it’s more entertainment than art. It feels good. Tastes good! It isn’t genius though. Genius makes you think. Entertainment stops you from thinking
These guys are geniuses indeed! From 2000-2006, they literally own the music industry. Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Usher, Ludacris, Snoop Dogg, Gwen Stefani. Their resume is very impressive!
Hearing Pharrell in the studio over the years keeps confirming to me. He's not a producer. He's a Visionary. He sees the whole production from song to video to clothes to business meetings, their reactions. Hes basically Spielberg with a piano.
This album was written before Timberlake was introduced to the project. What became Justified was originally offered to Michael Jackson, according to Pharell MJ turned it down as being too commercial for what he wanted to work with at the time and specifically asked Pharell to ask Justin Timberlake to go solo with this album. Justin also said directly that the reason he finally had the confidence to go solo was when Michael called him directly to tell him that he was ready to go for it and that the Pharell project was the right door for him. They both said if it wasn’t for MJ this may never have happened. Pharrell said on couple of interviews that Michael phoned into the studio during the first set of recording sessions, on two occasions, to ask how Justin was getting on with the vocals and check up on them all. Essentially this album had massive Michael Jackson blessings and influence from conceptualisation right up to structure and completion. It’s like a modern embodiment of a jackson album, that’s why it’s so good. Even the videos had constant salutes to his dance moves, at the time I was 17 I thought it was a piss take copy or a really good tribute act. “He’s ripping off MJ moves and vocal style” I said to people. Little did I know how involved Jackson’s soul was on the project. Now I look at this and smile.
@@kaafaa8036 Michael was moving forwards when the justified album was going backwards. The main reason MJ became an untouchable legend is because he always sought out to break down barriers musically. Doing what everyone else was doing was not his style.
@@kaafaa8036 invincible was an album MJ allowed many collaborators. I don’t class it as a proper MJ album. Too many different writers. I think MJ already retired by this point and was just enjoying letting others take control
I just love music man. Documentaries like this honestly fill my soul with happiness cause there is nothing like music. Listening to these songs as a kid and now adult is a beautiful thing because it gets you in different ways. Hats off to Pharrell Williams & Chad Hugo for being straight up musical genius’ & visionaries🙌🏾
honestly! love to know it’s not just me that likes watching things like this. from the behind the scenes to the reasons they sing the lyrics they to and who gave them the songs. all of it is soo interesting
Big ups to the sound engineer that mixed this record. The engineer is usually the quiet one that almost never gets credit publicly. But, makes the music gel perfectly together. This is one of the best mixed albums of all-time. Easily.
@@damienlewis7882jimmy douglas is one of the most extraordinary engineers ever !! i still think his work on jodeci’s diary of a mad band is out of this world
When this album came out I knew it was something special. As a hip hop head I resented the cookie cutting machine of pop acts like nsync, bsb, Britney and Christina Aguilera, etc... but when JT teamed up with the neptunes, I knew it would be fire... and it was. Some friends clowned me for liking the "new" justin Timberlake album but time has proven them wrong. Single after single, it became more than a pop record, like pharrell says in the documentary, this album fits multiple genres. Its flat out dope. Justified is still one of my favorite albums.
Hey bro I feel you 100%. I’m a true Hip-Hop head (underground) but appreciate the music these dudes made. It makes me want to put on a suit and tie and just dance sometimes
@SmallTownCemetery Comediante cause man, that first single with the Clipse, "Like I Love You" was so dope. I had to take a second look. Glad I did. Half Neptunes, Half Timbaland, are you kidding me?!?! Too sick.
idk about you but im grew up in the inner city and went to a predominately black high school and they loved justin timberlake and this album, to my surprise.
I'm glad Justin took a chance to allow Pharrell to take him out of his pop music comfort zone, you can really hear his rage on this album. The best he had done.
Took a chance on Pharrell ? He was the biggest producer at the time. He could’ve given those songs to Usher but he decided to give them to Usher instead
A lot of you misconstrued what Pharrell said when he stated these were written for Micharl. Her meant the productions, not the lyrics and medloies. You can clearly see him, Chad and Justin creating in these clips. Even the productions were more evolved on the final product from what you hear here. People like to slight Justin a lot. Yall really need to check his production and songwring resume outside of what hes done for himself. He's produced for Jamie Foxx, Charlie Wilson, Beyonce, Keri Hilson, T.I., Rihanna, etc.
Pharrell with neptunes in 2000 was like an aliens from another dimension who came on earth with "change rapgame" mission. They shocked game with they sound. It was incredible time for music.
This still hits he was they were ahead of their time. Justin paved the way. He is a legend and obv the neptunes. That album was complete fire.. also timbaland plenty influence
#2 on the billboard for that year is incredible but it's a shame they didn't get #1. They definitely deserved it for introducing the production that would shape an entire era of the 2000s
The end result, the music we hear on the radio and the records we get to play at home or in our cars are so sick, awesome, and I love it. But the process, the process is so fucken beautiful.
Am I the only one who wishes they could see all 15 hours of the "making of" footage? I'm such a music lover that I love when we are given the opportunity to see what the process is like when an artist is recording his/her album. To see from the very beginning to the finished product is just so satisfying. Thanks for this!
It's amazing how much Pharrell guided Justin in the delivery of his vocals. Pharrell was 29 here according to the intro. Man he really knew his stuff! (Still does)
It still trips me out that the majority of these songs off the album were originally intended for MJ! Love seeing this process! As a musician/engineer, I'm inspired to get in the lab and make some crazy magic!
Same sentiment! This album is one of the greatest contemporary R&B albums ever made. It still sounds as relevant to me today as it did twenty years ago. I love this album.
Ughhh this looks like a dream honestly, just a bunch of talented musicians and producers just flowing off of each other to create something really unique for it's time.

@@stanvanillo9831 Yeah, without RUclips back then I'd buy every dvd and vhs I could find and get all the extra footage I could. I remember buying this the day it came out, Nov 5 2002.
I was 22 year old in beauty school in LA. We always went to a club called Joseph’s. One night, the day after his single debuted we were in the club and Justin, Pharrell, Travis Barker, Jerry OConnel, Ted from Hey Dude and a bunch of famous people were there. Justin had a dance off with some blonde chick, Pharrell was lit and was dancing on a giant speaker and fell off. Jerry OConnel showed up in a taxi cab, by himself walked in ordered two giant mugs of beer, stood up against the wall, chugged two beers and left. Oh! and Nicole Eggert was crawling around drunk outside looking for her shoe. The early 2000’s, the good ol days.
And after we all went to Mel's on sunset Regardless if you were at Miyagi's, Saddle Ranch, Keyclub, Roxi it was all love back then. Damn I miss the early 2k !
@@melissap9416 Von Dutch trucker hats rhinestone dew rags and the ladies wearing them juicy couture sweat pants and us gents wearing bedazzled Ed hardy v neck shirt with the frosted tips hair cuts. ( Yes ) I was that guy 🤣 We you where either at Dennys or at Mel's after. Celebs had private after parties at the Viper Room. And if one of them came to Mel's it was an instant invite to a party in the H-Hills, if you had style and dressed nice wasn't with a ton of "special people" we know what that means. Lol The culture was fun but kinda douche if I look back 🤣
I was 38 when this came out and I absolutely fell in love with all the songs and videos. Well put together. Still listen to it today. Still love Stevie more though...😍
Yo the crazy part is him and timberland are cousin's, they been around music along time but the most humble dude is Chad. They play every thing in the studio and Chad be chilling, playing the background but he got a hand in every sound.
Chad singing The Rainbow Connection caught me off-guard. He has a pretty good voice, I wonder why he never provided any background vocal like Pharrell did...
Man this is amazing. It's like a time capsule seeing when these artist were at their hungriest for a classic record. Thats PHARRELL the PHARREL Williams, Skateboard P telling Justin Timberlake not to tell interviewers The Neptunes produced this track lol cause he wants shock value! lol so awesome to see this. Especially in hindsight after we already know what Pharrell would evolve and grow to become in the music industry. It's so crazy. NEVER STOP HUSTLING ya'll. It's achievable.
I remember '03 Rock your body coming out. I landed a great job and came out of dire poverty for good. It was spring and I was so happy and busy. Now I'm studying for my own songs coming out. I still love that song!
Man this Album gave me so much pride being a Virginian. There has never been a time when something produced by The Neptunes or Timbaland wasn’t in my headphones.
Yo this album is a classic with the The Neptunes and Timbaland producing on it crazy!!! Came out when I was like 12 and I’m still listing to it till this day. Amazing!!!
i know everybody loves to say things are underrated but i truly believe this is underrated...when u think JT u think future sex love sounds and his newer shit...this shit gets slipped under the radar now...i remember me and my dad drove from nyc to atl the summer this yr came out...classic album!
Just to be clear when Pharrell said all but one of the songs for Justified were for MJ , he's obviously referring to the Neptunes produced tracks. That's 6 out of 13 excluding the songs done by Timbaland, Brian McKnight, Scott Storch and The Underdogs. In fact he pointed it out the same year the album came out in an interview to Vibe Magazine. The songs he mentioned were señorita, nothin' else, last night, let's take a ride and take it from here. Rock your body was never entirely confirmed but I guess it checks out now. The only song that was never done for MJ was Like I love You which is the first track they ever recorded for Justified.
It’s cool to see JT during this time as a solo artist. This was the time around at the start of him breaking free of his NSYNC persona and finally becoming his own artist.
Probably because they didn’t want to go backwards, MJ had this sound back in 1979, he was way ahead of his time, as was Prince. They were both trailblazers.
@@Tintin-vd5kz I have to respectfully disagree with you on that. The Neptunes sound is different from Prince and MJ's sound from that era. For instance with the Neptunes' sound they use sparse instrumentation bcuz they want the drums to lead the way.
@@PharaohLawLess1 That kewl, but even Pharrell, Chad Williams and Timberland have said that at the time they had been listening to prime era Michael Jackson for inspiration and a lot of the cuts do sound like they wouldn’t be out of place on off the wall, maybe even b sides to compliment any of MJ’s single releases. 40 plus years and we are still listening to that classic album and it still sounds incredible, can we say the same for Justified? How many upcoming/future artists are going to claim Timberlake as their influence. This was the point I was making about MJ and Prince. When you read interviews of other musicians/producers that have worked with MJ, they have all said that he was always looking for new sounds. Peace ✌️ and Happy New year.
@@freezhollywood Yeah, Rock Your Body is not a classic per se it does have that MJ feel from the Off the Wall era but the sound is still different bcuz of the drums the Neptunes used and the sparse instrument and I think bcuz it was so raw is to why MJ didn’t want it but that Neptune sound was slept on and became big.
Thanks so much for sharing this video ! ... I love the relationship between Pharrell & JT back and forth during each song ... If ever you hear a filthy jam, there’s always a chance Pharrell is behind it ! .... The man is the modern day Quincy Jones
Absolutely love this.... great for people to see the actual work and levels of creativity that go into making timeless records... Just the whole studio vibe and the creative process giving me chills lol. love how Pharrel is so passionate about his craft both him and Chad were such a formidable and inspiring force back then to get a small glimpse into their music making process is priceless...
I bought this when it came out in 2002, I was 21 at the time and my friends thought I was stupid for listening to boyband-Justin. I bought it because I thought the lead single was good. Now I understand even better why I loved this record.
*It's crazy everytime they are stuck they ask Chad Hugo and he comes up with something on spot that blows their minds*
He's underrated in the game
Chad is a genius
I think I've heard Pharell said Chad is the musical genius, more than him. One of those geniuses that just happy creating for other people.
Exactly!! Why does he not get more recognition? He’s a genius
Chad doesnt seem to like the publicity.

@@stanvanillo9831 Yeah, without RUclips back then I'd buy every dvd and vhs I could find and get all the extra footage I could. I remember buying this the day it came out, Nov 5 2002.
I was 22 year old in beauty school in LA. We always went to a club called Joseph’s. One night, the day after his single debuted we were in the club and Justin, Pharrell, Travis Barker, Jerry OConnel, Ted from Hey Dude and a bunch of famous people were there. Justin had a dance off with some blonde chick, Pharrell was lit and was dancing on a giant speaker and fell off. Jerry OConnel showed up in a taxi cab, by himself walked in ordered two giant mugs of beer, stood up against the wall, chugged two beers and left. Oh! and Nicole Eggert was crawling around drunk outside looking for her shoe. The early 2000’s, the good ol days.
And after we all went to Mel's on sunset Regardless if you were at Miyagi's, Saddle Ranch, Keyclub, Roxi it was all love back then.
Damn I miss the early 2k !
@@WeylandLabs Omg!!!!seriously, We we’re probably there at the same time. those were the good ol Motorola razor von Dutch days! 😂😭😭😭🙌
Good ol days when there wasn’t a cell phone with a camera in sight and moments like those are just a memory.
@@melissap9416 Von Dutch trucker hats rhinestone dew rags and the ladies wearing them juicy couture sweat pants and us gents wearing bedazzled Ed hardy v neck shirt with the frosted tips hair cuts. ( Yes ) I was that guy 🤣
We you where either at Dennys or at Mel's after. Celebs had private after parties at the Viper Room. And if one of them came to Mel's it was an instant invite to a party in the H-Hills, if you had style and dressed nice wasn't with a ton of "special people" we know what that means. Lol
The culture was fun but kinda douche if I look back 🤣
@@corey1022 Nah we had our Tmobile sidekicks bro 🤣
"Last Night " is a MASTERPIECE SONG !
Still one of my favorite songs of all time to this day. That song is SO 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
And take it from here
@@M360-w6o yes offcourse :)
@@melissa2ea YES !
I believe that's JT's favorite song off the album as well. My favorite will always be Like I Love You, but Last Night definitely comes at #2 or #3
"Every time it rained, we had to stop recording and wait for the rain to pass" Had Prince been there, the rain would've make it to the album! RIP
I lost count how many times this video gave me chills. It's mind blowing to see a masterpiece like this be baked in the oven before it hits the floor.
I was 38 when this came out and I absolutely fell in love with all the songs and videos. Well put together. Still listen to it today. Still love Stevie more though...😍
🤟
@@64endlesslove tbh you're lucky to be that old!
I was 13 lol now 32 years old feel old lol
I was 17 in 2002
Yo the crazy part is him and timberland are cousin's, they been around music along time but the most humble dude is Chad. They play every thing in the studio and Chad be chilling, playing the background but he got a hand in every sound.
I still bang Justified to this day! It was so much fun watching everyone’s creative process! Geniuses 😍 I could watch for hours!!!!
Pharrell is referencing every step of the way...... wow, Timberlake was blessed.
@Jay Boogie They didn't "hold his hand", he was the voice and the vision. They all created together as equals.
@Jay Boogie big lies
@Jay Boogie i was agreeing with you lol
@@jas_bataillenope a lot of these songs were already made before JT Pharrell him self said a lot of these tracks were for Michael Jackson
Chad singing The Rainbow Connection caught me off-guard. He has a pretty good voice, I wonder why he never provided any background vocal like Pharrell did...
He did stuff on Kenna’s songs
I’m thrilled that this process was documented and shared! One of the best solo debut albums of all time!
I still listen to this album like all the time it's a modern classic
Man this is amazing. It's like a time capsule seeing when these artist were at their hungriest for a classic record. Thats PHARRELL the PHARREL Williams, Skateboard P telling Justin Timberlake not to tell interviewers The Neptunes produced this track lol cause he wants shock value! lol so awesome to see this. Especially in hindsight after we already know what Pharrell would evolve and grow to become in the music industry. It's so crazy. NEVER STOP HUSTLING ya'll. It's achievable.
This justified album is straight up car journey music, on repeat 🔁 x3
Chad man CHAD!!! Do not forget about him. A very important piece of this MASTER piece! 🧠✨
*I forgot how AMAZING/ICONIC this album was. This was the BEST era of Justin's music. Thank you for sharing this video xx*
10:48 I love when they listen and jam to the finished product, makes my heart happy 😊
I am pulling out this CD now! Yes, CD.
I have the original cd too ... the best!!!!!!!!
#PhysicalMediaForever
I remember '03 Rock your body coming out. I landed a great job and came out of dire poverty for good. It was spring and I was so happy and busy. Now I'm studying for my own songs coming out. I still love that song!
This album is so f**king iconic. And the fact it was captured being made is such a gift. I just wish cry me a river was captured also.
Absolute Classic. A timeless album for sure.
My goodness man the way that Last Night beat was hittin at 17:28 is outta this world #neptunes
@@AndrewKamenMusic Yeahh! Now's version is still hard but I would've kept it just like that
Man this Album gave me so much pride being a Virginian. There has never been a time when something produced by The Neptunes or Timbaland wasn’t in my headphones.
Same.
Up in Fairfax. 😍😁
Don't forget Missy, D'Angelo, Ella, Pusha T, etc!
@@vznquest Chris Brown from Virginia too
@@therealgunner5488 Chris Brown does different kinds of beats
"Last night" is my favourite song of the album !
Sure Pharrell is in the light and Chad is behind the curtain
I just love seeing this
side of everyone.
Everything about this is so good 💥🤗 I had no idea this footage existed .
Pharrell, Chad and Shay were a HUGEEEEE inspiration for me as a kid. ❤
Same 🖖🏽 startrak 4 ever
@@missgigip 🖖🏿🖖🏿🖖🏿🖖🏿
Gawd I used to watch these original videos religiously back in the early 2000’s. I’m glad they put them together. Thanks for sharing.
What a time capsule this is.
@@AndrewKamenMusic everything was so much simpler that time
Yo this album is a classic with the The Neptunes and Timbaland producing on it crazy!!! Came out when I was like 12 and I’m still listing to it till this day. Amazing!!!
What a TEAM my friends.... high connection baby!! the base of my teenage music years.... groovy days... love that moments!!
Tnx 4 so many guys!!!
growing up it is crazy to think about how this album crossed and was succusful in both black radio and pop radio
This is what you call everybody music. Made by everybody, for everybody and liked by everybody.
*successful*
I’m watching this 22 years after its release and I’m still so in awe of its magic! Watching the creative process is amazing!!! JT is the GOAT!
i know everybody loves to say things are underrated but i truly believe this is underrated...when u think JT u think future sex love sounds and his newer shit...this shit gets slipped under the radar now...i remember me and my dad drove from nyc to atl the summer this yr came out...classic album!
Just to be clear when Pharrell said all but one of the songs for Justified were for MJ , he's obviously referring to the Neptunes produced tracks. That's 6 out of 13 excluding the songs done by Timbaland, Brian McKnight, Scott Storch and The Underdogs. In fact he pointed it out the same year the album came out in an interview to Vibe Magazine. The songs he mentioned were señorita, nothin' else, last night, let's take a ride and take it from here. Rock your body was never entirely confirmed but I guess it checks out now. The only song that was never done for MJ was Like I love You which is the first track they ever recorded for Justified.
Neptunes did 7/13 on Justified
It’s cool to see JT during this time as a solo artist. This was the time around at the start of him breaking free of his NSYNC persona and finally becoming his own artist.
The drums on "Like I love you" are dope.😎
Justified is a masterpiece! Still my fav album of JT to this day!
Just wanted to respectfully say you’re very beautiful Estelle! Hope 2021 is starting off well for you!
@@bwalker8252 Oh wow Thank You so much!!! Im also hoping 2021 started well for you and sending you good vibes!! :) :D Take care!
I could cry right now. This is LEGENDARY
I almost started crying when he sang Take It from Here!!!
I’m just glad there are people that know the Neptunes exist let alone this album 🔥🔥🔥
Bout to bump this album right now when I’m done writing this! #Classic
Justin is a walking instrument with that voice. Cool to see how he makes it seems so effortless !
We need more footage like this .. real & just raw footage from actual artist back when music was music .. the shit was real!
I can’t believe Michael Jackson and Prince turned these songs down.
Probably because they didn’t want to go backwards, MJ had this sound back in 1979, he was way ahead of his time, as was Prince. They were both trailblazers.
@@Tintin-vd5kz I have to respectfully disagree with you on that. The Neptunes sound is different from Prince and MJ's sound from that era. For instance with the Neptunes' sound they use sparse instrumentation bcuz they want the drums to lead the way.
@@PharaohLawLess1 as classic as rock your body is it sounds like a MJ throwaway song from the off the wall era
@@PharaohLawLess1 That kewl, but even Pharrell, Chad Williams and Timberland have said that at the time they had been listening to prime era Michael Jackson for inspiration and a lot of the cuts do sound like they wouldn’t be out of place on off the wall, maybe even b sides to compliment any of MJ’s single releases. 40 plus years and we are still listening to that classic album and it still sounds incredible, can we say the same for Justified? How many upcoming/future artists are going to claim Timberlake as their influence. This was the point I was making about MJ and Prince. When you read interviews of other musicians/producers that have worked with MJ, they have all said that he was always looking for new sounds. Peace ✌️ and Happy New year.
@@freezhollywood Yeah, Rock Your Body is not a classic per se it does have that MJ feel from the Off the Wall era but the sound is still different bcuz of the drums the Neptunes used and the sparse instrument and I think bcuz it was so raw is to why MJ didn’t want it but that Neptune sound was slept on and became big.
This brings back so many memories. Classic
Thanks so much for sharing this video ! ...
I love the relationship between Pharrell & JT back and forth during each song ...
If ever you hear a filthy jam, there’s always a chance Pharrell is behind it ! .... The man is the modern day Quincy Jones
Loved the chemistry between everyone . They were productive af
Man, it's so cool to see these things, everything starts somewhere and you don't know how far it can get!
💯
I hope they collaborate again at some point. Justified was dope in the age where hip hop was peaking
Pharrell produced the man of the woods album
UM… They collaborated on every single JT album after this at some capacity my friend.
Lol
Absolutely love this.... great for people to see the actual work and levels of creativity that go into making timeless records... Just the whole studio vibe and the creative process giving me chills lol. love how Pharrel is so passionate about his craft both him and Chad were such a formidable and inspiring force back then to get a small glimpse into their music making process is priceless...
This video is a hidden gem, thanks for posting. Love it.
This damn album still resonates at the top of my sonic favorites
Justin is so lucky.. he worked with the the 2 greatest producers of all time.. pharrell & timbo.
And Chad
please don't down play chad
Chad and Pharrell are better than Kanye
@Confessions Of A Movie Freak Kanyes the best producer in his own head, thats about it.
man stop forgetting chad guys😭
Bro!!!!!!!! This is so clean!!!
Major thanks for the nostalgia trip, I felt 17 again for 21 mins
I bought this when it came out in 2002, I was 21 at the time and my friends thought I was stupid for listening to boyband-Justin. I bought it because I thought the lead single was good. Now I understand even better why I loved this record.
I was 17
I was 21 as well
