ok, i may look them up.
surprised at how much i am enjoying HHNF right now, i always thought it was kinda disappointing when it came out.

both the praise and the backlash were overstated

cool, i'll see what i can add from the states

yeah i was always somewhat neptunes skeptical or at least thought they were overrated, greatly preferred timbaland, but i have to admit this stuff still sounds great and not to get all youtube commenter but man do i miss these guys dominating radio.
― balls, Monday, 8 October 2012 21:08 (eleven years ago) link
anyhow stoked for this!
Oh man, I've barely got started on this - I reached Hollaback Girl and I can't get past it. This is the second time it's blown me away, and I hated it when it came out.
― Ismael Klata, Tuesday, 9 October 2012 21:16 (eleven years ago) link
noooo, i need my fellow hollaback holdouts to stay strong! resistance movement!
― some dude, Tuesday, 9 October 2012 21:24 (eleven years ago) link
I doubt I'll be voting for it, it's fine but there's so much other better stuff.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 9 October 2012 21:29 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah. meh.

bump - one week left for voting (and I've received only two ballots so far)
― V79, Saturday, 13 October 2012 13:23 (eleven years ago) link
Eep. I'll redouble my efforts - I'm inching through the playlist, have identified about ten tracks for my ballot so far.
― Ismael Klata, Saturday, 13 October 2012 13:34 (eleven years ago) link
yeah i'd meant to bump the thread and post more this week but didn't get around to it, definitely gonna take my time w/ my ballot though. don't be afraid to push back the deadline to get more ballots, though, that seems to work more often than not.

T.I.'s "I'm Serious" is so fuckin slept on

"Bossman" is incredible too, Neptunes + Beenie Man was a lethal combination

Never really like much of the NERD stuff, but always vibed to this production. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJmvbz1-VesSnappy snares and a little panning is all I need really.
― Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Sunday, 14 October 2012 05:53 (eleven years ago) link
i think i'm gonna have "beautiful" in my top 5
― lil dirk (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 14 October 2012 05:57 (eleven years ago) link
i really need to not be going down a neptunes wormhole at 1 am
― lil dirk (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 14 October 2012 05:58 (eleven years ago) link
neptunes stuff from the last 5-7 years shows you how close to incredibly corny they were with shit like "beautiful" but man when they hit this kinda sound it worked so damn well
― lil dirk (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 14 October 2012 06:01 (eleven years ago) link
Oh for sure, one thing that has been surprising to me as I've been digging around is how many Neptunes productions actively irritate me.
― Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Sunday, 14 October 2012 06:07 (eleven years ago) link
"Am I High" is top 5 for me.
― billstevejim, Sunday, 14 October 2012 07:05 (eleven years ago) link
looking over the discography in chronological order i kind of re-lived what a heartbreaking fall-off late 2003/2004 was. "Change Clothes" was a real shark jump moment.
― some dude, Sunday, 14 October 2012 11:19 (eleven years ago) link

that's kind of a really bad list
"money maker" is no joke one of my least favorite songs of all time. hate that beat/hook. that whole era of ludacris is just... so depressing.
― lil dirk (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 14 October 2012 19:46 (eleven years ago) link
I dont think thats a bad list. Got love for plenty of those.
― Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Sunday, 14 October 2012 20:42 (eleven years ago) link
Everything from 17 is ridiculously great but there's some serious junk blocking the upper reaches of that chart.
― Tim F, Sunday, 14 October 2012 20:45 (eleven years ago) link
i didn't realize "when the last time" was that big of a hit -- bigger than "slave 4 u" !!
― lil dirk (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 14 October 2012 20:46 (eleven years ago) link
kinda shocked 'signs' isnt in there?

That is so great
― Ismael Klata, Sunday, 14 October 2012 21:41 (eleven years ago) link
I don't recall hearing "Signs" on the radio all that often.
How was that list put together? "Frontin'" is their 10th biggest song?! Or did it just chart really well one week?
― billstevejim, Monday, 15 October 2012 08:24 (eleven years ago) link
longevity-wise, isn't "Got Your Money" more popular than about half of those songs?
― billstevejim, Monday, 15 October 2012 08:33 (eleven years ago) link
really? the only songs on it I dislike are "Money Maker"/"Wind It Up"/"Change Clothes"
― Cap'n Hug-a-Thug (The Reverend), Monday, 15 October 2012 20:31 (eleven years ago) link
"Signs" was a total flop in the U.S. for some reason -- maybe urban radio had some anti-Justin sentiment since that was the first thing he dropped since the Janet incident, but pop radio didn't touch it either. i blame "Let's Get Blown" for blowing the "Drop It Like It's Hot" momentum.
― some dude, Tuesday, 16 October 2012 02:40 (eleven years ago) link
A couple of album tracks from Kaleidoscope I'll be voting for:

― Gavin, Leeds, Tuesday, 16 October 2012 09:00 (eleven years ago) link
you'd vote for those tracks but not for "roller rink"?
― groovemaaan, Tuesday, 16 October 2012 09:07 (eleven years ago) link
I've been working through ahh's playlist but am running into the sand too quickly. A whole sea of Clipse hasn't helped, but the problem atm is that I've completely lost sight of what's Neptuney about these tracks - right now it sounds like a bunch of pop R&B tunes one after the other, some decent, some not, but there might as well be no link between 'em.
Can anyone (without revealing too much) give me a quick pointer towards a couple of quintessential Nep flourishes? Just to help me reconnect. Needn't be a personal favourite or anything, just a sound that they do and noöne else does.
― Ismael Klata, Tuesday, 16 October 2012 09:14 (eleven years ago) link
Love both of these for different reasons

Yeah, not that I dislike 'Roller Rink' or anything.
― Gavin, Leeds, Tuesday, 16 October 2012 09:51 (eleven years ago) link
is this possibly fake? this song rules hard but the video sounds like someone took the justin song and added their own drumshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPDs1ZQZ3bQ
― billstevejim, Tuesday, 16 October 2012 17:17 (eleven years ago) link
ok the real version has live drums so maybe it's not fake.
