Hmm… https://youtu.be/Ow3hfdPwTuo?si=wazYJfJ5CovqBzfB



I'm not sure if you are being facetious or not, but Pharrell's song Happy
is very much in the same style as Walking On Sunshine which is in the opening
of the video you posted the link to.


Really? Did not now that, the song was just the first on that I thought of when
nubs said radio.

  
  
May watch it later, what style is it? If it’s rap I don’t want to hear it… not
my style.

Just because the artist is black doesn't mean the song is rap music. This
is a pretty disgusting stereotype and really has no place in polite society.
If you took a moment to research him, you would see that he has had a large influence
on modern music and is arguably one of Gen X's most talented producers. On
top of all of that he is returning a great deal to society through philanthropy
and working to help those in need.


What?! Also was not what I was thinking, rap can be made by anyone, I just don’t
want to watch a rap video if I don’t have to.

  One of the things that I love about LEGO is how it transcends age, socioeconomics,
religion, personality type, politics, race, etc and brings us all together in
1 huge creative umbrella. Any time you can reach another group and bring them
into that umbrella is a win for us all. I think this is actually a brilliant
move on TLG's part.



Just an FYI on a guy you've never heard of:

Williams has stretched his influence between music and fashion, but one of the
most important facets of his career has been his philanthropy work. Bettering
the world around him for the future generation has been one of his greatest accomplishments.
He launched the nonprofit From One Hand to AnOTHER inc. to promote a positive
education for underprivileged students. He then went on to launch his nonprofit
organization YELLOW to create a better learning environment for young students
in his home base of Norfolk, Virginia. The school features small classrooms and
intuitive technology that allow underprivileged children to get an education
in STEM and the arts. He also poured $35 million into the Pharrell Williams Resource
Center in Virginia Beach for low-income students to stay after school.

His efforts to end generational poverty are endless and forever changing lives.
No matter how successful he became, he never forgot his roots in Virginia Beach
and is always looking for more ways to better the community for little kids who
are just like himself 30 years ago. He spoke in front of thousands for the International
Day of Happiness for the United Nations. “You should know that happiness is your
birthright,” Williams said.

Hmmm…. Interesting, I will do more research on him.

[...] I think you're just prejudiced against the LEGO Group.
