Timbaland vs. The Neptunes

[wg-]

Heard a couple recently i hadn't even thought about in possibly 10 years so i am going to post them here. The Ray J one is great goes on about a minute too long and ruins it a bit

 

[hint]

Neptunes had that one template that always hit - snappy swinging drums and a weird shriek noise or dissonant sound. Basically reimagining early rap like The Bridge or Top Billin over and over again on a Korg Triton:





Their more filled out productions got way more hit and miss. Timbaland seemed to find it easier to cover both ends of the spectrum.

Had no idea that Timbaland (and Magoo, who just died, R.I.P.) was in a group with Pharrell at one point.
