What are some of the hardest Neptunes beats...?

[ShaDynasty]

Clipse f#cked up by going with other producers on third album. Hell Hath No Fury is dope front to back. And Clones album was a summer soundtrack for me. These dudes r very talented and can make any genre of music. Peace

I thought the 3rd LP was solid. There was only a slight dropoff in quality and some of my favorite Clipse tracks are on there: Popeyes, Freedom, Doorman etc.

Btw Chad did an interview fairly recently and said him and Pharrell have been producing a bunch of new stuff for various artists.

looking forward to those new ones!

Freedom is my fav cut on Till The Casket Drops, I'd say it's in my top 5 Clipse tracks

[hotnikks]

Nore and Neptunes should ve done a whole album together back in those days.

yessss.

[ShaDynasty]

NORE - Grimey was their best collab imo.

[hiphopjunky]

Clipse-Chinese New Year. Noreaga-Full Mode. Foxy Brown-Gangsta Boogie. N.E.R.D.-Lapdance. Ice Cube featuring Clipse-In The Late Night Hour. Noreaga-Grimey. Busta Rhymes featuring Rampage The Last Boy Scout-Call The Ambulance. FamLay- Rock N Roll. Ludacris-Pussy Poppin. Roscoe P. Cold Chain-Delinquent. This dude is like the Holocaust/Killa Sin/Polite/Reverend William Burke of Star Trak. Sooo dope and never dropped an album. Snoop Doggy Dogg-Vato featuring B Real.

Was about to say Grimey but saw your comment. That along with Grindin and Oh No are probably my favorites

SBI (Surrounded by Idiots) : Magnum AKA Pharrell & DJ Timmy Tim AKA Timbaland & Magoo

1991 demo tape



the YT comments are right imo that these guys were ATCQ influenced

[ShaDynasty]

^ That was a common criticism of Magoo especially back in the day. I always thought Magoo was solid, good flow and probably a better rapper than Tim anyway.

Who else is a fan of the Kelis album Kaleidoscope? To me that's probably the best record they ever produced, although of course the first 2 Clipse albums are up there too. One of the rare 00s R&B albums where the songwriting matched the production.

[Rev Jones]

^^definitely a classic album in that it has its own sound and topics. not your run of the mill rnb album

[Rev Jones]

also, her voice simply sets her apart from most rnb singers

[ShaDynasty]

^ She was hot as fuck back then too. The 2nd album was also produced fully by The Neptunes with Clipse, Roscoe features. It had some bangers, but a lot of it was pretty corny and sounded lazy, like it was written too fast. It was shelved in the US. Tasty was dope, then after that I lost interest.
