THE NEPTUNES FULL
The Ludacris “It Wasn’t Us” featuring I-20 can get over on the strength of a rap that sounds like “Act a Fool” meets “Rollout,” but the track is full of silly sound effects paired with a track that tries to be Trick Daddy and can’t even be Trina. The misses on this album are all the more glaring as a result. Coming back to back as they do on “Clones,” the songs make a powerful statement – there’s no style of rap track Neptunes can’t attack successfully. On the Clipse track “Blaze of Glory” featuring Ab-Liva, Neptunes go 180 the opposite – heavy on horns, hand claps, and burping bass that scream funk. It’s electronic, obtuse, and has enough boom and pound for Busta to tie it together with his manic energy that makes even a whispered rap seem louder than a thunderstorm. The track is taken down to almost nothing but a set of synthesized drums, but at times a pile of tools seems to clatter to the floor in a cacophony of noise most notably after the first chorus. Busta Rhymes “Light Your Ass on Fire” is one of those Neptunes tracks that’s right for being so wrong, a feeling those who heard DJ Premier and Jeru the Damaja wrecking “Come Clean” to a decade ago can relate to. Which was better? Both were good actually, although as rappers Chad and Pharrell weren’t really as dope as the talent they usually work with.Īs such “The Neptunes Present… Clones” might seem like the perfect marriage – the beats of a red hot hip-hop production duo with some of rap’s best talent, including a lot of artists they’ve already worked with before.

They have an inner circle of “Star Trak” artists that get full albums featuring their work, peeps like The Clipse and Kelis, but then you’re just as likely to remember Pharrell’s crooning falsetto on Jay-Z’s “I Just Wanna Love U” or their stomping beat on Noreaga’s “Grimey.” Their sound is everywhere, and last year even profiled their self-produced rap debut as N*E*R*D on “In Search Of.” The album was good, but it may have left some people confused – two different versions came out, one with a live band and one with the traditional synthesized Neptunes style and sound. Then again, if you guessed “The Neptunes” for at least one out of any five songs you hear on the radio, odds are that you’d be right. My friends run the site The Neptunes #1 fan site, all about Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo |, all about Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo you can keep up to date with all their stuff on there.At least this much is sure – you won’t have to guess who produced any of the tracks on this album. My friends run the site you can keep up to date with all their stuff on there. However he does have a track produced by Pharrell on his album. Chad Hugo only produced the outro on an alternate version of the track. Really I can understand that times change and you can't always do the same thing as a producer you have to adapt with the times.Īlso that Earl Sweatshirt track is produced by Earl and the drums were done by Christian Rich. It's a dream of mine to one day work with them as like I said they are the reason I decided to pursue Music. I still have the utmost respect for both of them and their entire camp, I grew up listening to N.E.R.D and all the Star Trak artists and it really shaped who I am as a person. He still makes a lot of great music in my opinion but it seems unpolished but sometimes a few beats still really shine and you can hear that old Neptunes sound that was so mesmerizing. Gone are the hard hitting drums, analog spaced out synth sounds, and clavi riffs. He does everything in the box in Logic now and it shows. P is more of a mogul type now with various different business ventures, he said his heart really isn't in the music anymore and perhaps that can account for the drastic change in sound over the past few years. Although P tends to be cut a LOT from these artists albums. Chad is doing his own thing with his side project Missile Command and Pharrell is still producing for a lot of big names. However they have refuted these claims many times, and I know for a fact that Chad is still very much involved with their production but it seems that him and Pharrell don't work as closely as they used to.

Then in 06 rumors started to surface that Chad had left and Pharrell had started to produce things solo. They had a golden run from like 1998-2005. The Neptunes are the reason I started producing Music, first heard em when I was 7 or 8.
