I knew chad was a genius when Snoop said he was the one that put that last keyboard part on the hook of Drop it like it's hot. The song wouldn't hit the same without it.

[@chis5050]

which keyboard part?

[@GuysPlayHorror]

Right before the first line of the hook "When the pimp's in the crib ma. Drop it like it's hot, drop it like it's hot".

Virginia made the Futuristic sound and basically made Alternate Rap music. With the Clipse rapping hardcore over obtuse beats, Kelis making Alt-Pop, Even Timbaland, Missy, Lex Luger, DRAM, Teddy Riley. The sound is boundary pushing and weird sounds with Street subjects

[@homedeezyfasheezy5662]

I had my leg amputated due to a bad car accident in late 2001. When I got back in the groove of things in 2002 Neptune’s beats where everywhere. So many of those songs helped me normal again. To this day those songs take me back. Thank you Chad and Pharrell

[@barsbarsbarz]

I saw a wild stat that said in 2006 or 2005 Pharrell had produced 40% of songs on the radio for a few months. GOAT producer imo

[@lefthandedsophiethepop-wit503]

This documentary is right on time, I've been revisiting the Neptunes music lately and I've come to the conclusion they were the real Avant-garde hip-hop collective of the 21st century. Over outkast , over kanye, over timbaland! The pop music landscape of 2021 bears the influence of Pharrell and Chad! Tyler the creator, the weekend, even Billie eilish wouldn't exist without The Neptunes/NERD, their music now sounds timeless and sounds almost like a hip-hop version of Brian Wilson/the beach boys sonic genius! Long live Star Trak true musical prophets🖖thanks for making this excellent documentary.

[@forayblahzay]

If you're not a producer who grew up in the 90s and early 2000's you wont put respect on chads name. The thing i like about The neptunes is their versatility across ALL genres of music INCLUDING remixes. They were REAL remixers. they made a song so un-recognisable you had to hear the vocals to know who sang the original and made it sound better. Example, One of their best remixes SADE - by your side and Backstreet - The Call. Prince - The Greatest Romance ever sold. Even their more obscure Remixes ALL Saints - Black Coffee. and theyre still making beats for artist and still sound good. Even with their sound scaled down. That new joint they produced with SZA "Hit different" or Kendrick Lamars "Im Real" its still the neptunes sound.

Chad has always been a BEAST! So much talent, and the swag he had was always deserved, because he was dancing to international hits he wrote.

[@Redley_Ex]

I was definitely out in the clubs in nyc in the 90’s (especially late 90’s) when the Neptunes sound was unfolding. The sound was so fresh, different and innovative that we didn’t even know how to dance to them but we knew it was 🔥 I feel so lucky to have lived that 🤗

[@jesswilson6012]

Facts. I’m from the south and remember visiting Connecticut in ‘99. I think they were playing a DJ Clue mixtape at the skating rink and it was the first time I heard Half-A-Mil’s Thug Ones. Seems like it came out right after Nore’s huge hit Oh No. I was blown away by the sounds back then and couldn’t find Thug Ones anywhere. Soon as I saw his album in stores it was instant cop just off the strength of being in the skating rink in CT that night. I copped just about every album I could that had a Neptunes produced song on it.

[@xsing8279]

I remember walking around campus listening to "mr. me 2", also the "#1" with Kanye made me feel fly/smooth. "frontin" a classic, always take me back to high School. I love that we had that song, thank you P and team for making that track. It is still played everyday by someone

[@619rasta]

I appreciate you for giving Chad his flowers, respect. Fr, fr.

I grabbed In Search Of... on the day it was released. It's one of my favorite cd's to this day. Straight Classic. Later I would find out about this other version of the album without the Spymob assist... I died and came back to life over that version. Personally, I made love to someone very special to me, for the very last time... with that album playing. The music played into the situation... I can't even listen to it anymore because she passed away. Am I High 🤔

[@jayden.6]

i was born in 2001 in Minnesota, so growing up, my favorite song by NERD was She Wants to Move (still is). but i recently decided to take a deep dive into the culture of the Neptunes and thus i discovered the unreleased songs from 2000-2004, and that Magnetic beat is otherworldly... i also love his r&b. I Still Love You by 702, Luv U Better by LL, Senorita by Justin, Touch by Omarion... these men are geniuses. I also gravitated towards Chad because his personality. he never really needed to be in the limelight.

[@SCOODAMcGOODA]

I never knew "frontin" was for prince! I can hear it too! Damnnn. Great stuff!

[@TimidTheProducer]

This is making me so giddy, I can't even watch it right now! I know this sounds ridiculous, but my heart is always full when I listen to them, or watch anything regarding them because they are that good! Their contribution to modern music is absolutely unfathomable, Untouchable, and cannot be placed in any category. Ladies and gentlemen, we are looking at two of the greatest men the world has ever known in music. I'll have to come back and watch this when I've had a little wine in my system to chill me out, LOL! STAAAAAAAAR TRAAAAAAAK!

[@JBurney]

"I still love you" by 702, and "run for the sun" by n.e.r.d. are probably my 2 favorite. Chiming in from Wilmington, NC, but grew up in va beach, graduated HS about 5 years after Chad and Pharrell. Only ever saw Pharrell once, he was at the strip driving an Acura NSX.

@@cloutcancun nah but you specifically said part 1 was from the beginning to 2010, so we figured if you left out those monster tracks going year by year, that you wouldnt revisit them.
