The Neptunes

[arXter]

Ever since I joined MJ forums, I've been seeing their names drop so many times (especially since Mike missed out on a great opportunity to collaborate) so I'm sure we have fans.

Probably the greatest mainstream production of the noughties. Emphasis on mainstream, though, because I consider many other lesser-known producers to be far better. But still, you have to give it up to Pharrell and Chad for keeping the good music alive.

Some favourites:

Common
Come Close
(Instrumental)

Sade
By Your Side
(Neptunes Remix)

JT
Señorita

Not sure if it's officially The Neptunes or Pharrel, but love the work they did with Madonna on Hard Candy.

And yes, I wish Incincible had seen an MJ/Neptunes collab.

I love the neptunes
A lot of the songs they have done years a go still sound fresh and new today which for producers is rare now a days.

I really like them as well. I will post some of my favorites when I get home from work.

I really like this; haven't heard it before. I need to get me a good dose of Madonna sometime.

And yes, Invincible really is insensible.

^ Girls Dem Sugar is really nicely composed. I remember obsessing over finding the instrumental back in the day and it was like finding the holy grail when I hunted it down.

Produced by the Neptunes

[mjscarousal]

Alot of there productions are cool but the artists they produce beats for make crap music though

I haven't heard it in a very long time, but Signs? with Snoop? that was hot. And Boys- Britney Spears.

Neptunes thread and no one mentions Clipse or Jay-z, these are why the Neptunes are big in the first place, Pharrell and Chad didnt really hit it off until "I just wanna love you" and "Grind", they produced tracks for SWV and mase in the Mid 90's and no one cared
