Timbaland vs. The Neptunes

[version]

 

[version]

Surprised the poll's so decisive atm.

 

[luka]

neptunes have a lot of hits but timbaland is the true modernist

 

[Corpsey]

Timbaland is the clear dissensoid choice.

Aside from anything else he heavily influenced 2-step (and there's the longstanding debate over whether or not he was inspired by jungle, which I believe he denies).

Hottest video girls ever in my 17 year old hormonal opinion

it really put Brazil on the lads-on-tour travel map.

Pharrell still has a few tricks up his sleeve

 

[Corpsey]

Timbaland is Prince and the Neptunes are MJ.

 

[version]

The drum sounds and patterns in the neptunes are more prince, more Jackson in timbaland.

But it's not clear cut. You have to force the whole thing a little bit.

 

[version]

Prince as The Neptunes makes more sense to me.

timbo basically raided arabic music wholesale for his pallette.

if anyone posts happy or get lucky, it goes to timbo by default

I once caught a 'secret' punk show on a bridge at three AM. Lots of black, lots of denim, lots of combats boots. Brooding abound. Just before the music starts a man on a pedi cab rolls through the crowd, Pharell's 'Happy' on his boom box gently filling the abrupt silence.

Timbaland Steals Arabic Music

Timbaland is an American producer who has produced for some of American pop's biggest names: Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z, Nelly Furtado, The Pussycat Dolls, Aaliyah, the list goes on forever! He has used Arabic music many times, but only used it legally once. This was when he used Warda's...

What was Timbaland's most recent hit?

 

[luka]

no idea. love this early-ish one though

 

[line b]

Timbalands work with One Republic is his 'Happy'

 

[woops]

there's an album of timbaland with chris cornell from soundgarden too which is apparently dreadful, although 'Timbaland has referred to the recording sessions as "The best work I've done in my career," and predicted that Cornell will be the "first rock star in the club". '

What was Timbaland's most recent hit?

Its not a new beat, but that Ski Mask song Cash Me Outside uses an old Timbaland beat and thats got 150 mil. views

I talked about it in another thread, I think this sound is enjoying a resurgence.

 

[version]

Pharrell seems to have been the one blessed with longevity. He's still a fixture.

even when he's not sampling it, those infectious hooks, those irresistable beats? all straight out of the arabic music cookbook. not wagging my finger here, fwiw. just sayin. imo pharrell and (especially) chad hugo are more inventive.
