I'm just going to chalk this up to I'm officially old and disagree entirely

I definitely have a diverse taste when it comes to beats.
Crazy thing is im not even that particular or picky when it comes to beats. But I do know when something doesnt sound cohesive and just sounds like a bunch of noise
Neptunes beats sound like loading up a whole circus in one Uhaul truck. An elephent trumpet here, flopping clown shoes as the backdrop,small monkey playing the cymbals,and cant forget the kazoo
I was actually impressed he made Alright by Kendrick. But then i found out i probably wouldnt have thought it was that great without what Sounwave added to it.
The argument yall have is that it fit that era which i admit. Alot of beats sounded like cheap,robotic,manufactured noise. Not sure why its wrong to say it sounds wack today and didnt age well though. Dont people say that about 80s and 90s production all the time? What makes yall think the 2000s should be immune?
Its wrong because saying its wack is an opinion. Aged well means that it was something that sounds worse now. Something like Snap or Hyphy or Crunk is something that didn't necessarily age well. They were trendy sounds with a short shelf life hence didn't age well. That is not true of The Neptunes sound.
And yes people say that about the 80's because a lot of artists and sounds from the 80's weren't lasting. Same is true of every era.
B-A-N-A-N-A-SUh huh that’s my shyt
That’s my shyt
Now, she taste just like candy.

Using an Sp1200 is sampling dumbazzOh really?!!
That aint shyt.
Do you know they used to have to hold auditions,and put a whole damn band together? Had to wait for Muddy Draws Paige to catch a bus from Tenessee to Florida,hopeing he didnt get snatched up by the Klan becsuse he was the only saxophonist who could pull it off? All that,just to compose a damn instrumental. But you talking to me about more buttons back in the 2000s and less sample time.
So you must really think lowly of the people who sampled,if your trying to minimize what producers now do. The differences your talking about are small, When you compare it to what old heads had to go through to make music. So excuse me if im not going to disqualify todays producers for having it a little easier.
I got a few thoughts on this other than FOH:
They were able to make chicken soup and give it to chicken shyt artists and it bumped. And vice versa with chicken soup artists. I don’t believe we have had that same run in today’s market of producers and artists.
Pharrell was the face of the group but we have to give Chad his credit because Pharrell on his own has had his moments where he’s been Shaq with the Heat jersey (carried by the artist on the production) and Shaq with Suns/Celtics/Cav jersey (his own music).
But what we’re not going to do is say producers today are better as music has become more and more simplified to make. Let’s not do this brehs and brehettes. I know there’s a couple that actually have some musical background as in they can pick up the sticks or can do something with a piano in front of them but a large majority haven’t shown this in their output.

My point was you crying about people who have it easier with sampling today,as opposed to back in the day.
While disregarding how much easier the people sampling back in they day had it,when comparing them to the people who made the music they are sampling in the first place
So what if its one click today as opposed to a bunch of buttons,or takes a little longer.
That aint shyt in the grand scheme of what musicians had to do to compose the music that still gets sampled to this day. So you downplaying todays producers for having it easy is laughable
I truly dont see how you can say Hyphy didnt age well when you like Neptunes beats.
This beat would fit right in to the Neptunes catalog
And alot of yall would call this beat garbage.
Yall need to acknowledge yall just liked the rappers on those songs and not the beats themselves. Its nothing wrong with that,but its blinding yall to think those beats were classic or ahead of their time. Theres no way you would ride around bumping the instrumentals to those neptunes records

The Neptunes proved to be more than a trend. They held a dominant sound in music for like 5 consecutive years. Then you have Pharrell who was hot a solo producer for several years. This has nothing to do with personal preference. Furthermore, how do you tell someone what they actually like or were riding around listening to.

The point is, you can't compare someone clicking a mouse with samples already given to them to someone finding their own samples with inferior equipment. I don't understand how that's so hard to comprehendMy point was you crying about people who have it easier with sampling today,as opposed to back in the day.

LOL
some of those bleeps and bloops did not age well, breh
They proved nothing really. When you only work with the biggest names its easy to not look like a trend. We watched Dre help put nikkas on 20 years apart with his production. Can the same be said for the Neptunes? Trap music has held a dominant sound for longer than 5 years and has aged better than those Neptunes beats. So what should we do with that info?
Does a dominant sound make something great? Mumble rap has also been a dominant style in hiphop. Its easy,quick,and doesnt take genius to recreate
