The Neptunes And The Sound Part 2
As Written By Will Wonder
Here is a list of The Neptunes top hits and most influential songs
BRITNEY SPEARS
Boys feat. Pharrell (Co-Ed Remix) (#7 UK) (Single) (July 29 2002)
(It is set in the time signature of common time and has a tempo of 108 beats per minute. While the original Britney version features Spears solely, "The Co-ed Remix" which was released as a single, sees the singer and the song's co-producer, rapper Pharrell Williams trading lines. The remix version of the track contains a slower tempo then that of the original)

CLIPSE
Grindin' feat. Pharrell (#8 US Hot Rap) (Single) (May 14 2002)
(Arguably the most iconic track of The Neptunes' early-decade influence on hip-hop production, the beat was far more sparse in its percussive drum and woodblock arrangement than most popular hip-hop tracks at the time, predating later sparse Neptunes productions like Snoop Dogg's "Drop It Like It's Hot" that would further capitalize and expand on this style. It bares notable and acknowledged similarity to 1980s hip hop tracks such as Eric B & Rakim's "My Melody".The song was listed at #27 on Pitchfork Media's top 500 songs of the 2000s.)
CLIPSE
When The Last Time feat. Pharrell & Kelis (#7 US Hot Rap)(August 6 2002)
(Second official single from the Clipse's album Lord Willin'. It reached #19 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the group's highest-charting single)
COMMON
Come Close feat. Pharrell & Mary J Blige (#18 US Hot Rap) (November 5 2002)
(The song is produced by The Neptunes. Peaking at #65 on the Billboard Hot 100, "Come Close" is the only song from Common's 2002 album Electric Circus to make an appearance on the Billboard music charts)
