I agree somewhat but I think some of their early/mid 00's beats are still fire.
Kneegrow what?Dirt Off Your Shoulder is still probaly top 3 most embarrasing beats i ever heard in my life

Ummm, nah. Just Blaze has some incredible music that still sounds fresh. Some of the stuff he did that doesn't involve soul sampling is garbage though. Kanye is one of my favs, but a lot of his production circa '03-'05 is dated and suffers from those garbage snares he was using.
But has it aged as bad as neptunes and timbs shyt from that period,definitley not.
Kneegrow what?
That beat is horrible,this nikka actually has a sound effect of a shoulder being brushed off in the beat
....get that ghetto techno shyt outta here

Much of it still has that stuck in 2003, 2004, 2005 feel to it. For example, both Timbaland and Kanye worked on Brandy's Afrodisiac. I remember feeling Kanye's tracks on that album possibly more than the Timbo ones. Now, I can't even listen to the Kanye tracks like that, while the Timbaland ones either sound better or still knock. Still don't like "Sadiddy" or "Turn It Up" though. Lloyd Banks' "I'm So Fly" still goes too. Same goes for The Game's "Put You On The Game". I even still like Jay's "Dirt Off Your Shoulder", but "Lucifer" from the same album was one of my favorites, but those snares are now annoying.
As far as Just Blaze, some of the stuff he did on Memphis Bleek's MADE album is horrible. Just's tracks from the first half are dope. I don't really think the Snoop or the Nelly songs from Philadelphia Freeway have held up either.
In regard to The Neptunes, I don't really like R&G: The Masterpiece as much as I did when it first dropped. I might be in the minority, but "Drop It Like it's Hot" still sounds dope. As far as their other stuff, I never liked "Change Clothes" or much of that Clones album they dropped. Some of the Kelis stuff from that era doesn't sound as good now either.
Let's Get Blown is still my shyt.

You outta my wheelhouse with the rnb,so ill give you that
....but im strictly talking hiphop,i dont questionthem on he rnb or pop side....and you still liie Dirt off Your Shoulder but not Lucifer:
?that sounds almost blashemous to me....Drop it Like Its Hot is still great,but im giving snoop alot of credit on that one....without snoop i think it sounds hollow as a instrumental,snoop holds that beat up alot is my suspicion....Made had some great beats on it,id have to go back and check production credits....prettysure Blaze produced Round Here,just blaze bleek and free and Hypnotic though....we gotta admit Bleek aint do all those beats justice....Freeway sound great over Just Blaze Bleek and Free....beans woulda changed how you hear that beat
A lot of that is Samples vs Synth
Tim definitely changed the landscape, but so did the Neps if we're being honest. And Pharrell seems like he's only getting better, unlike Tim sadly

Pharrell is regressing. Nothing he's done recently shows any signs of progress. "Alright" was the last really dope song Pharrell produced. A lot of the music Pharrell's done recently is nothing special IMO. Everything he's done sounds like the stuff he produced for the Soundtrack for the movie Janelle Monae, Taraji, and Olivia Spencer was in. And even that sounds like "Happy"/"Freedom".
