The Neptunes’ first phase- from Kelis’s early work and tracks for Jay Z to the pop of Justin and Britney- dominated radio and the charts. Hence it was ripped off left, right and centre. Despite writing Milkshake and standout tracks for Gwen Stefani, Lupe and Clipse there was a dip in quality around 2004 to 2006.It’s no surprise that Chad and Pharrell (now both in their mid 30s) have switched their sound up or that it has worked. Now they seem to be using more electronic European sounds in their sort-after beats. Certainly Common’s most recent work and much of Madonna’s Hard Candy include lots of beats and bleeps. Spazzz was pretty much a drum and bass track.
Lil Wayne ft Pharrell- Yes
On this Lil’ Wayne song (presumably for one of his Carter projects) Pharrell takes influence from another British scene- dubstep. A genuinely innovative genre. Williams will tell anyone who will listen about his love for Bristol. On this evidence he hit some clubs in the bass loving city the last time he was over.
