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 :,(

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

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?

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
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"
this was another neptunes mid period minimalist drums jointhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHxoEKoM1Ew
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)

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:

― 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)

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:

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.
