Understanding The Neptunes Revolutionary Production

[@creydadj]

I call the Neptunes the percussion producers. Their percussion skills in producing songs are out of this world

[@colormegeeky]

They are some of my inspirations in music. 😁

[@Adenohypophysis0]

Neptunes, Timbaland, Kanye West, Scott Storch insane how these four revolutionized music. GOATS

[@KavanDignam]

facts they really pushed the boundaries of modern music

[@erboch7124]

You could probably throw Dre in there too

[@esho758]

Lil Jon and Three 6 Mafia too

[@creydadj]

Y’all forgetting Just Blaze. Probably the most technical and versatile out of all of them

[@creatrwaves]

top 4 producers of the 2000s according to billboard

[@danielsaintmusic]

man I've said it before and ill probably say it after every video, but this was INSANE. excellent editing, script, sounds, breakdown, recreation, new beats inspired by Neptunes, all of it. my only feedback is to give us more videos! hahaha 😭 keep up the good work bro! can't wait till the next one

[@KavanDignam]

means more than you know bro!

[@prodbymarmelad]

yes!!

[@steelokey]

Well said & I agree 100% lol 😂🎉

[@broolkeez]

The Neptunes been “mainstream” for 25 years!

[@fouulout]

@@broolkeez they dont really get talked about nowadays even though they still make great beats on some of the top rappers songs

[@ACCOUNTANTB]

Pharrell has world wide music knowledge. He has so many influences......its clear.....from rock, jazz, afro, samba....everything

[@siguuurddahlstrom]

I can’t express my love for Nerd, Neptunes and Pharrell himself💜 Edit:(I’m absolutely not forgetting Chad, I just mentioned Pharrell cause I like his album In My Mind) Brooo if Chad did a solo album, that shit would’ve been crazy

[@KavanDignam]

he's just a machine bro i dunno how you can make music that good for so long

[@darylallmanful]

Same here. I've been obsessed with their sound for years

[@LarrySwishamane]

🖖

[@joelmcleod6521]

Teddy Riley's New Jack Swing, Terry lewis and Jimmy Jam's sound, DJ Premier D&D studios beats and The Neptunes Production are my Mt Rushmore for Production. When they were in their primes, they were everywhere!!!! Their sounds, sonically made shifts in their genres.

[@jaideveremy4371]

Pharrell Williams is one of my favorite inspiration even my favorite song is happy it never gets old

[@KavanDignam]

he's one of the greats fr man!

Regarding the E Piano sound in Hot IN Heere. It's an actual Wurlitzer. They had the real hardware and used the same Wurli for Senorita. Wurlitzer has more bite when a key is played, than a Rhodes.

A lot about Pharell, wonder what Chad was doing😆

[@rayovsaan1820]

Most of the arrangement is Chad’s, instrumentation, chord progression, bridge, harmonies, layering, texture etc. He literally plays all the instruments except maybe for drums/percussion…It’s like Pharrell draws a terrible sketch and Chad turns it into Pixar. Kinda sad who gets most of the credit…But ya next time know what you’re talking about before you talk sh*t. Bet you don’t even know music 101.

[@Polostar79]

Pharrell did all of the drums as well as songwriting and vocal production. Chad did much if not most of the instrumentation. All those quirky keyboard sounds, guitar licks, piano, bridges were all Chad.

[@antoniokastrocarlisledemel6617]

The Neptunes saved Hip Hop from it's over reliance on samples, as amazing as 90s Hip Hop was and always will be, it was definitely lacking originality when it came to the beats but the Neptunes proved to me that there was still some originality out there cuz Chad and Pharrell(it ain't Pharrell and The Neptunes it's The Neptunes Chad & Pharrell) were virtually unlimited and that's in the more mainstream pop & R&B that they produced as well, Timberland, Scott Storch & Lil Jon were also amazingly original but not quite on the level of The Neptunes but from about 1999 to 2006 when they all were on fire, none were quite as Ubiquitous as Pharrell and Chad, not only were they original but they were also prolific and if they're not my all time favorite producers they're no question in my top 3 and Living Legends imo.. then u got their other ventures like clothing and Pharrell's highly influential style and his hooks and either guest verses or his solo work...yea it goes without saying they're both absolute legends
