Which one would u go with? I think the Neptunes made a great contribution to rap music and hip hop in general.

One thing, like half their catalogue sounds dated as f*ck these days, it didn't age well but they got some timeless bangers tho.

To me, its hard to pick between these 3:

Their best production isn't even in Hip Hop...

But "Grinding" has to be... that beat was revolutionary & until this day it has spawned multiple hits just from it's structure alone...

"Touch It"
"Tipsy"
"Whisper Song"
"Play"
"A Milli"
"Move"
"A$$"

... and a shytload of others are all 'children' of "Grinding" in different aspects.

Damn near impossible to pick just one but Grindin' did give rise to a lot of beats shortly after and even a decade after the song has been out, when that beat drops you can't help but get a lil ignant lol

Another beat I really like ..



They used up a lot of beats on Philly's Most Wanted and Kelis that were nice too.

Yeah, something about the Lapdance beat that makes you get hype as sh!t. I remember when it would drop in the club back in the day, everyone went wild.

This was their breakthrough beat and it was hot too. This is the beat that put em on the map:



That was the 1st Neptunes beat I ever heard...
