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)

The Neptunes
As Written By Will Wonder
The Neptunes- composed of Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo- were basically responsible for the sound of almost every top ten record at the turn of the century. Impressed with their unique synth and sample heavy mixes they reached the rare status of superstar producers. The Neptunes influenced an entire generation of Hip Hop/Pop music. They gave the industry a much needed change of pace, changing hip hop from a gritty sample based sound to a new sample free soundscape. They eliminated the use of sample clearances (which significantly decreased production budgets) by using a combination of synthesizers and sound modules. They used minimal equipment which was readily available to other producers at the time. A lot of the “spacey” sounds that they incorporated into their music was derived by sampling Roland Juno-106 sounds (which was released in 1982!). This is a testament to their creativity, using readily available ...by Published on 02-20-2012 08:28 AMCategories: Dear Dynamic
