BLIND I PRESENTS THE NEPTUNES – DECEMVIR

Snoop Dogg – Pass It Pass It (Feat. Pharrell) (Advance Version)

I’ve been working on this for a LOOOONG time and I finally completed another masterpiece. For those not in the know, The Neptunes are a record production duo consisting of Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, who are credited with contributing the sound for some successful Hip hop, R&B and Pop artists in the late-90s and 2000s. The Neptunes’ sound is a distinctive brand of off-kilter, stripped-down electronic funk. Along with Timbaland and Dr. Dre they were the driving force behind many of the musical characteristics of late-90s/2000s hip-hop, helping to re-introduce sci-fi style sounds into the hip-hop mainstream, along with sounds from Middle Eastern and Asian music including percussion and woodwind.

I decided a few months back to make a collection of my favorite rare, b-side, and unreleased Neptunes production, from 1999 to 2009, in order to create a dedication to over 10 years of next-level music that still stands the test of time. I swear listening to these tracks puts you in a state of mind where everything’s better around you. Decemvir, which is the latin term for “ten“, is used to describe this decade of incredible works from the stellar production duo. Their music can speak for itself more than anything I can say, so without further ado, I give you…

    You should have put Clipse’ “Eghck” or some joints off their first album that was never released

    That’s not really rare though Jake, and that first Clipse record didnt have joints that really meshed with the others in the comp. It’s more than just throwing songs together…

    I’m happy and upset at this post.
    Happy: because of such napalm you have packed into this post, Lordy Lord it’s great.

    Sad: Because I don’t want to share the goodness with others.
