Lil Tecca got a hit off of something that sounds a ton like Pharrell’s Frontin

Artists like Rsieh Raxan and 3ee have been getting really good at approximating and modernizing the pop side of the Neptunes’ 2000s sound

You could even argue someone like Tommy Richman fits here

Now in the wake of Tecca’s hit we have underground rappers like Yung Fazo using super Neptunes-y synths

Is this just a flash in the pan trend? Is it a return to something with a little more musicality in the mainstream? Is it just the nostalgia train arriving right on time? Lmk your thoughts

I don't hear it in the last 2 songs tbh

im tired of homage

uninspired asf and overdid to death

especially considering this “revival” is based on like two to three songs and doesn’t highlight how versatile chad and pharrell were

can't lie, none of it moves me

👎🏾

They only jackin the early 00s smooth s***

Need more HHNF vibes

Jokes on you @OP i watched this vid before you posted this thread

This was kinda being done last decade too wit obviously mainstream guys like Tyler bearing his influence on the sleeve. I remember a NYC underground rapper from The old beast coast/New New York wave had some buzz wit a song that had a Neptunes sound. I think he was from phony Ppls.

But yeah me personally, the beats are cool but It don’t really hit the same maybe because I’m not that Into the artists that do it

post punk revival

S*** is buns and sanitized with no funk to it. That s*** can beat it

I think some of it has a cool modern edge to it like I fw rsieh raxan but yeah I see what you're saying

Yea in the video I say all the tyler sons are by default neptunes grandsons haha

naptime

@Eeleye

Beggin on her knees to be popular

That’s her dream to be popular

Sell her soul to be popular

got old real quick

It was a product of its time. No need to bring it back

@op just watched the video.

Honestly, the thing about these new artists that tries to make Neptunes s*** (outside of hardcore fans like Tyler and Me) is that they lack heavy arrangement skills and knowledge of older music whether that's Pharrell or other artists music.

To create something extremely close like Neptunes, they have to do a extreme deep dive and listen to their whole discography with vocals, without vocals, the interpolations they done, just simply EVERYTHING.

Honestly, I feel like these artists just look at the face value details instead of what the actual core elements.

TL:DR: I can smoke these niggas with my own knowledge.

I don't like it at all

I actually never really been a fan of The Neptunes tbh

😭💔 damn fr
