[@Artistjm]

Correction for the video: The Neptunes actually started working with Justin Timberlake before he went solo. They produced “Girlfriend” for N’Sync. Also, they are one of the only producers to do almost every genre out. Check out “By Your Side” remix for Sade, “Don’t be Light” Remix for AIR, and “Sympathy for the Devil” Remix for The Rolling Stones. They’ve done a ton of music for international artists too like Australia’s Kylie Minogue and UK’s Ed Sheeran. Their remix of Garbage’s “Androgyny” is legendary too.

[@M360-w6o]

They were talking about JT as a solo artist

[@M360-w6o]

@@Artistjm Yeah I know they produced Girlfriend featuring Nelly but they just skipped that part for some reason. But Pharrell said countless times that Jay Z introduced him to JT. Also once they made Girlfriend, that’s when Pharrell suggested to JT that he should go solo.
