That's not true. That teddy bear lookin nikka mike will and that ashy nikka young chop aint seeing Lex.

The ONLY reason Lex got replaced was because he tried to raise his price after working with Kanye.

I am as big a Lex fan as the next man (shyt trap music in general). But all those nikkas styles are pretty much the exact same if you would have told me Lex produced BAnds Make her Dance I wouldnt be surprised. They all have their own intricacies and are dopw within their own right but in reference to the thread topic you cant name a producer whose sound is remotely close to the Neptunes.

And as far as Mike Will vs Lex, thats splitting hairs they both damn near on the same lvl to me, its just one is currently more popular than the other; but both >>>>Young Chop tho.

I think Chad was the one behind most of their melodies.

During that period where he fell back to focus on his family and it was just Pharrell on the boards, a lot of that shyt sounded soulless.

Some of those songs on that Hell Hath No Fury joint was straight buns ie Momma I'm So Sorry :wtf:

But then again, you also had Trill, Chinese New Year and Wamp Wamp which were :ohlawd:

I guess Pharrell just spread hisself too thin without Chad to carry some of the weight.

I dont think the neptunes are simple, but if your talking just music sense, all beats really are simple, might be a few switchups here and there but compared to like a classical or a score from a film they lack...

A beat is just that, a beat, too complicated can take away from the rapper.

That's what makes them so good. Their throwaways are still bangers.

I was gonna say something similar. If their beats were so simple they would have been many replicas. If its simple and popular, best believe their are gonna be MANY clones. For example Lex only been out a couple years and has already been replaced (Mike, Chop)

1st and foremost those two producers sound nothing like lex
2nd is lex switched his style.......where he fukked up at
3rd to the op. simple r not, if the mfn beat go hard or is catchy it doesnt matter if that mf simple
4th blogging azz n1ggas dnt be knowing sh1t about sh1t.

9 times outta ten yall opinions are:trash:

:rudy: There was a time when Chad wasn't traveling around making beats with Pharrell. You would see pictures and video of Pharrell with other artists making beats all the time without Chad.

The Neptumes actually have bridges in their songs unlike 95% of producers out who just drop certain instruments to change the sound up.
