The Neptunes - classic or dud?

OK, fair enough, but you haven't read every word ever written, so you can't judge anything said in writing.

LSD- Not to change the subject entirely, but can you explain “Light a candle, run laps
around the English Channel, Neptunes’ got a cocker spaniel”?
N- Well, when you light a candle, that’s saluting your dead peoples. Light a Candle.
And then, what’s the English Channel? It’s a big pool of water and it’s overseas.So I’m
trying to say that when I light a candle I’m that strong that I can run laps around the
English Channel. And Neptunes have a cocker spaniel. ‘Cause they homo.
LSD- Oh. All right.
N- Neptunes is homo. You won’t hear another Neptunes track again on Noreaga again in
your life. I didn’t know that they hand was broken. [makes limp-wristed gesture]
LSD- Is this a recent discovery?
N- It’s a recent discovery after the “Oh No” video. After money had the tight choker on
in that video. And we started asking questions, and people from Virginia started telling
us that he’s a straight Flagrino. And he takes it up the ass. I cut him off.
LSD- Even though the beats–
N- Fuck the beats!
I can’t fuck with nobody that Mohammed used to throw off the hill. You know,
Mohammed used to take all the homo niggas in the village, and he’d take ‘em to the top
of the hill and he tricked them. He’d tell ‘em ‘Yo, jump down there’, and when they’d
jump down there, they killed they self. We don’t fuck with homo. I like lesbians,
though. I’ma stand up–I like lesbians and dykes. If you’re lesbian and dyke you’re okay
to me, but if you’re a homo, I don’t even like you.

fuckin shame

I can’t fuck with nobody that Mohammed used to throw off the hill.

would you kick NORE outta your hotel

I’ma stand up–I like lesbians and dykes.

Well, when you light a candle, that’s saluting your dead peoples. Light a Candle. And then, what’s the English Channel? It’s a big pool of water and it’s overseas.So I’m trying to say that when I light a candle I’m that strong that I can run laps around the English Channel. And Neptunes have a cocker spaniel. ‘Cause they homo.

This is possibly my favorite quote of the year btw.

Oh. All right.

dude says 'oh no' is a recent video, i know its old

Yeah, I remember that making the rounds in 03 or 04, N.O.R.E. is like the proto-Beanie Sigel. And then he went and did that shitty "I'm A G" song with Pharrell anyway.

im not endorsing dudes homophobia but if it means dope rappers boycott the neptunes im all for it

straight Flagrino

i'd read it before, but everytime i hear something noreaga was involved in, i think of the, yeah, the shame and stupidity of that quote.

Glancing at this thread, this feels more like a "can you cut 'n' paste" thread.

Does this make sense?

i love that NORE track on Clones :(

Does this make sense?

yes

neptunes is homo?

keeping rappers away from the neptunes in 2007 is a good idea & i dont care if its cuz they hate gay dudes or think theyre inhabited by alien parasites or whatever long as it happens

apparently

i liked the neps when they stay away from the live instruments and stick with the synths and drum machines, that second edition of "in search of" with the band playing on it was awful..

superthug is still classic material

i think the neptunes track on "king" (the one w/common) might be the worst thing i've ever heard from them.

in search of is awesome

what was even the last good standalone neps track? snoop 'vato' probly?

southern hospitality is the best shit ever

'Girlfriend' just popped up on iTunes - BIGTIME CLASSIC.

in search of is awesome

in search of is awesome

(didnt realize vato was neptunes)

the beat for the new common song is great. the chorus from pharrell is shit though.

i don't like it, drums sound cheap.

neptunes' music hasn't really aged well at all. I think they're kind of dud for the most part.

or maybe i just need to do some revisiting of the good neptunes tracks, because everything they've done for the last 2 years or so has lowered my opinion of them (Solange's "I Decidied" is pretty hot tho)

classic when they stick to their "cheap", ice-cold, synthy, programmed bangers. (superthug, drop it like it's hot, milkshake, etc...)

dud when they get the live band on the go and try and fuck around with rock music. that recording of "in search of..." with the live instruments was awful.

*re-recording of?
