Have you listened to a lot of Neptunes?
Could you please cite a few examples of this stiff feel you're talking about?
I promise, for every one you list, I can give you 10 that are contrary.
Listen to the beat from "Grindin". WAYYYYYYYYY outside the grid!
Listen to Justin's album... mostly live drums (looped).
Listen to the track from NORE "Nuthin"
"When the Last Time" Clipse, "Pass the Courvoisier",
man, that $hit is SWINGIN!!!!! Breakin my neck just thinking about those tracks!
You can even take it back to the beginning... "Rump Shaker" and the SWV "Human Nature" remix
I guess we all hear things differently! |
Well, I can't be wrong about the way I feel when I hear music, not even if it makes you feel different than me. And when I hear Neptunes tracks, I feel a lack of soul and robotic timing. Maybe there are some songs they have done that DO have good feel, and when I hear them I will deam them as having good feel, but so long as they keep putting out stuff like "Holla Back Girl", "Slave For You", Snoops last single "Drop it like it's hot" and many many many more are just plain awful. I think stuff like Rump SHaker, and Hot in Here were wonderful, as with much early stuff. The Justin Timberlake album to be sounded like Micheal Jackson reject songs.
Everyone hears everything differently. If I could enjoy a Neptunes production, my life would be A LOT easier since every one else is basically just copying them. But until then they bore me to sleep, and the knockoffs make my work day miserable. If you can enjoy it, then you are very lucky.
