Bridges are Choruses are very important in achieving mainstream success.

Yep. 9th Wonder for example. He's one of my favorite BEATMAKERS but he cant craft a bridge to save his life. Most of his beats are just str8 loops throughout the entire song. I dont consider him a "producer" so to speak. He's more of a beatmaker. In my opinion The Neptunes are up there with any producers of any genre that you can name as far as pure talent. Pharrell is one of the greatest musical geniuses in modern history.

Dope thread.
Most people don't really know what the bridge is but would know if you completely took it out of some of these Neptunes songs.
It's pretty damn hard to have a hit song with out a good bridge if you ask me.
Lil Jon was underrated in this regard as people thought he did nothing on the boards/prosecution side outside of the same things.

When people used to compare Timbo to Pharrel/Neptunes I just 
Pharrel just know how to take the song from dope beat to that next level. I mean really, the amount of bangers Neptunes are responsible for is just staggering.

*Pharrell I need a new N*E*R*D* album that's similar to Seeing Sounds.*
Back on topic. Neptunes is that shyt forreal. They got some of the illest bridges ever. Props to Pharrell for having hidden tracks on his albums.

How can people say they ::love:: music and not know what a bridge is 
.
But anyways, take a bridge out of nearly any song and shyt would sound repetitive, especially today.

Neptunes from an overall outlook is goat worthy.
Its that simple. They have some of the dopest tracks produced ever.

if we're talking current R&B producers/writers, the Underdogs have the best bridges. And it's not even a close second to my ears.
Pharrell has dope bridges tho. Frontin is my fav Pharell bridge.
But overall, nobody is "takin it to the bridge" anymore
