Duration: 1 min 42 s
Description: Pharrell Williams is a brilliant songwriter - but he doesn't put much effort into his song intros. Here's a selection, from his first production - SWV's Right Here - to four tracks off his latest album GIRL. They all use the same trick to get into the song.

he still needs to have a great, catchy song. also the heading is misleading, he doesnt write the song intro then the song, he writes the song, then extras - such as intro, outro, middle 8th, etc

He did this too in "My Drive Thru " with Santigold and Julian Casablancas

Better than going "DJ KHALEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED"

it's more like a count off than an intro, it's kinda dope

Prophecy III - Envy 

The gleam of the apple on the tree turns heads, but B3WARE the rampant vine that enwraps the EyE. Insidious are the entangling grips of desire that render you unknowingly masked. The fruits of the eTHERjUNGLE lands are abundant and limitless. However, the greediest become the greenest. Beneath the Zelosyne lake lays a dilapidated Chamber enshrouded in Poison Ivy. It is said, this is where the Jaded 0nes float, tainted £merald by over consumption of the h0ll0w apple, and forgetful of their blessings...

Envy is the third Prophecy from REINENREALM.COM, the portal to REINEN’s worlds - due for unlock later this year. An alumnus of Paul Institute, the mysterious London collective founded by Jai & A. K. Paul, REINEN is fast moving into unchartered terrains with a deep conceptual vision of her multi-dimensional art. Envy is her second self-produced track of the collection with a feature from long term collaborator A. K. Paul.
