    Hello Hybrid? Do you know why the Despicable Me 3 score hasn't been put up on this website?

    @Hybrid: did you know that If I Stay has a release?

    As it says at the top, Pharrell did the main theme, as well as a few other themes (which, I believe, were all written for the first film and then carried over to the sequel). He also wrote three original songs for this film: "Just A Cloud Away," "Happy," and "Scream."

    I was wondering the same thing. ;) Maybe you can ask Hans. Isn't he doing a reddit today? :P

    I guess what I'm trying to say is How much of Amazing Spider-man 2 is Pharrell Actually doing?

  7. MacArthur January 14, 2014 at 8:21 pm - Reply

    Does Pharrell actually compose music or just rap it
