Best neptunes track not by the neptunes... I reckon that Britney spears one would be a contender.

Jole, Friday, 19 December 2003 11:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Dude, that *was* by the Neptunes

Blazin Squad 'Flip Reverse' obviously, though.

Enrique (Enrique), Friday, 19 December 2003 11:46 (twenty-one years ago)

You mean as in "Not as artist" i.e. remixer...?

That Badly Drawn Boy one.

mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 19 December 2003 11:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Nah man... the other one

Jole, Friday, 19 December 2003 12:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Hmmm... was that Britney/madonna track the neptunes?

http://www.startrakmusic.com/web/neptunes_all.aspx

if so, they're not admitting to it.

Jole, Friday, 19 December 2003 12:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Nah, 'Slave 4 U' and 'Boys' were tho'.

Enrique (Enrique), Friday, 19 December 2003 12:33 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm taking this to mean 'track that sounds like it was produced by Neptunes but wasn't'

Nio 'Do You Think You're Special'

stevem (blueski), Friday, 19 December 2003 12:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Hyori Lee - Do Me

scissors (Honda), Friday, 19 December 2003 13:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Kelis - Milkshake??

neil simpson (neil simpson), Friday, 19 December 2003 14:40 (twenty-one years ago)

This thread needs rules, sicne 'Milkshake' is by the Neps.

Enrique (Enrique), Friday, 19 December 2003 14:43 (twenty-one years ago)

was that christina aguilera one with little kim and whole verses that didn't seem to contain any words by the neptunes?
it sounded like a bit of a neptunes rip off,although i quite liked it...

robin (robin), Friday, 19 December 2003 14:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Ok rules...

1. The song has NO INVOLVEMENT whatsoever with the individuals Chad Hugo or Pharell Williams.

2. Despite the above, when people hear it they go "Hey, is that a neptunes track"

crap. rules make my nice thread geeky :,(

Jole (Jole), Friday, 19 December 2003 14:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Bow Wow's "Let's Get Down" sounded kind of like Jazze Phae's impression of the Neptunes circa 2001, but better.

Al (sitcom), Friday, 19 December 2003 15:48 (twenty-one years ago)

"Flip Reverse" seconded.

CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Friday, 19 December 2003 16:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Sugababes - 'Soul Sound' Soulchild remix

The alternative was Zena - 'Let's Get This Party Started', but it's mondo derivative, vacuous shit.

Barima (Barima), Friday, 19 December 2003 21:19 (twenty-one years ago)

is that track by christina where fumbles after old skool cred in the accompanying video by staging a would-be 'battle' in the omnipresent hood - รก la jason nevins' already-then-retro video for his remix of 'it's like that' - between the b-boys on the one side and flygirls on the other side ... is that track by the 'tunes?

Jay Kid (Jay K), Friday, 19 December 2003 21:27 (twenty-one years ago)

jay-z - nigga please hahahahahahaha

robert crunkgau, Friday, 19 December 2003 21:33 (twenty-one years ago)

if it is not, then i could very well have been

Jay Kid (Jay K), Friday, 19 December 2003 21:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Bow Wow's "Let's Get Down" sounded kind of like Jazze Phae's impression of the Neptunes circa 2001, but better.

Yeah I know I cant har it without going "It's how I feeeel!"

Jole, Saturday, 20 December 2003 11:18 (twenty-one years ago)

seven years pass...

Right now I'm totally obsessed with The Neptunes' percussion/drum sound, in tracks like:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKjii7RE7PQ

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EDIg35QnI8

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEzWZYjUu3Y

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gul0ZDtnGzI

can someone point me towards some Non-Neps tracks with a similar sound?

The Brainwasher, Saturday, 18 June 2011 01:33 (fourteen years ago)

ha weird how the first thing popping into my head w/ that twista was uk funky

but i think its just the bongos

arachno-misogynist (D-40), Saturday, 18 June 2011 01:37 (fourteen years ago)

the first 3 were from that mid period after Justified when they got more into live drum sounds and looping Pharrell playing drums, i was never really into that stuff but there's definitely a lot of it... "Diddy" is more like classic early hit parade drum machine Neptunes imo

some dude, Saturday, 18 June 2011 01:37 (fourteen years ago)

yeah im def hearing diff feels from a few of these

arachno-misogynist (D-40), Saturday, 18 June 2011 01:37 (fourteen years ago)

like the money maker drums arent far from grinding, really

arachno-misogynist (D-40), Saturday, 18 June 2011 01:38 (fourteen years ago)

it was funny when Pharrell went on and on about "Give It Up" being a Baltimore club homage but there was just a vague similarity in the tempo and hook but the production was miles away

some dude, Saturday, 18 June 2011 01:38 (fourteen years ago)

my fav of this Neptunes style is probably Twista's "Lavish"

some dude, Saturday, 18 June 2011 01:38 (fourteen years ago)

this was another neptunes mid period minimalist drums joint

arachno-misogynist (D-40), Saturday, 18 June 2011 01:38 (fourteen years ago)

yeah it prob is just the bongos, but I'm getting a sort of latin, funky vibe from the percussion in these tracks. here's another one:

The Brainwasher, Saturday, 18 June 2011 01:39 (fourteen years ago)

The Twista tune is great!

Tim F, Saturday, 18 June 2011 01:41 (fourteen years ago)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4a_OoBWryl8

this was another underrated one

arachno-misogynist (D-40), Saturday, 18 June 2011 01:42 (fourteen years ago)

Brainwasher this comes to mind as excellent fake neptunes with gorgeous percussion:

Tim F, Saturday, 18 June 2011 01:48 (fourteen years ago)

oh man good call. i was just listening to that lp again

arachno-misogynist (D-40), Saturday, 18 June 2011 01:49 (fourteen years ago)

ha that is a dope one, I love that album. This "Drop It Like It's Hot" remix is crazy, I don't think I've ever heard this O_O... "Lavish" is great too

The Brainwasher, Saturday, 18 June 2011 01:59 (fourteen years ago)

the Neps really fell off :( ... I'm hoping for a resurgence soon

The Brainwasher, Saturday, 18 June 2011 02:00 (fourteen years ago)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_hf30d7NRw

oh man this sounds way better than i remember. well, the beat does

arachno-misogynist (D-40), Saturday, 18 June 2011 02:01 (fourteen years ago)

oh yeah i liked that track

trying to remember the last Neptunes track i really liked, maybe Clipse "I'm Good"? you know what was amazingly awful was the score for Despicable Me, almost ruined the movie for me.

some dude, Saturday, 18 June 2011 02:44 (fourteen years ago)

wow, Neptunes produced that terrible T.I./Chris Brown joint last year? i had no idea

some dude, Saturday, 18 June 2011 02:46 (fourteen years ago)

I liked this Game track from last year:

it's weird, rev's 'best timbaland songs not by timbaland' was pretty easy but i wouldn't even know where to start w/ this thread

J0rdan S., Saturday, 18 June 2011 02:51 (fourteen years ago)

ryan leslie's entire discography!

The Brainwasher, Saturday, 18 June 2011 02:53 (fourteen years ago)

true

J0rdan S., Saturday, 18 June 2011 02:53 (fourteen years ago)

And that one song on frank ocean lol

arachno-misogynist (D-40), Saturday, 18 June 2011 03:14 (fourteen years ago)

You'd think w all the grinding reverence there would be more songs that tried to sound like it

arachno-misogynist (D-40), Saturday, 18 June 2011 03:16 (fourteen years ago)

great drums here

sisilafami, Saturday, 18 June 2011 13:11 (fourteen years ago)

mystikal's 'danger' could fit in here despite being early neptunes

also, being neptunes

arachno-misogynist (D-40), Saturday, 18 June 2011 15:11 (fourteen years ago)

this one kind of fits:

billstevejim, Monday, 22 August 2011 05:37 (fourteen years ago)

a bunch of the songs on tyler, the creator's album wolf start with the pharrell four count. "jamba" is prob the one that sounds most like it could be a hell hath no fury kind of track.

in places all over the world, real stuff be happening (voodoo chili), Monday, 27 June 2022 19:46 (three years ago)
