Is it safe to say 98% of the Neptunes beats aged awful?

Agreed, throw Timbaland in the mix as well. I don't know any well-known collabo as bad as Jay-Z/Timbo :snoop:

Their earlier shyt was outdated even then. Always reminded me of some Sonic level board music shyt. Outside of Jay/Clipse, most of the shyt they put out was trash. They got much better to me in 05 when Slim Thug came out

as one of the biggest Neptunes fans ever i must admit their shyt aged horribly. especially their rap beats. i think their best work was when they collabed with Kelis

This is true, most of their shyt from 99-02 is just :huhldup: when you hear it now, not to mention they went through that "sell everybody the same beat" phase that most popular producers went through. Thank god for the Blueprint, cause NY rap was sounding :flabbynsick: with all that keyboard shyt in the late 90's-early 2000's.

If you always thought they were awful, it has nothing to with how the beats aged. Aging awfully is when a song that sounded great in '98 now sounds obsolete against today's stuff. That or, a song that sounded great in '98 sounds like garbage now.
