Product Description
From Amazon.com
Apparently, there are many prolific producers who privately wish they were equally adept MCs and vocalists--and likewise. Very few pull it off, but don't tell that to Pharrell Williams, who, with Chad Hugo, make up the production duo the Neptunes. He's co-produced an inordinately large percentage of new millennium Billboard chart-toppers: Britney, Justin, Janet, Jay-Z, Nelly, 'nuff said. That's why he can do as he pleases, thank you. But as Clones proves, the Neptunes' production hegemony will not be challenged anytime soon. Outside of the stripped-down percussive melodies on Busta Rhymes's ode to rumps ("Light Your A** on Fire") and the minimalist "Pop Sh*t" featuring hip-hop court jester Dirt McGirt (a.k.a.Ol' Dirty Bastard), the rest of this collection is all metallic drum sounds and noisy choruses. So who cares if Pharrell can't really croon a lick on "Frontin'" (featuring Jay-Z)? Sure, Clipse aren't the illest MCs by any stretch, but they still absolutely annihilate "Hot Damn." Why? Because the Neptunes can arguably make any average Joe Emcee sound good. Cop this, because resistance to the Neptunes' made-for-the-dance-floor beats is simply futile. --Dalton Higgins

Pay Attention!
Mar 10 2004
Format:Audio CD
Get it right people, The Neptunes (Hugo and Williams) are producers hence Neptunes presents. N.E.R.D. is a rock group with Hugo and Williams and another dude. They are not one and the same they are very different: Working with other artists, they give them what they think they want, whether they are 100% on it or not. They bring out new talent like Fam-Lay out of VA and make money producing Other Artists.
This is the reason a N.E.R.D album is coming out very soon, they keep their job and their own personal music separate. Pay attention, please!
The artists on 'Presents' are ok. Im not a big fan of most of them but overall the production values are tight as usual and smooth.

These guys are musical genius'. If you are involved in music production then you can appreciate there beats and rythems 100 percent. They are the best and will continue ripping others down. There beats are dope and there music is sick. BUY THIS ALBUM!
It's the Neptunes, however it could be better

Ok I listened to the whole album, its not as good as NERD, their sophmoric album turns out to be about average. The good songs include Snoop, Nelly, and Vanessa (new artist) I hope to see more of her in the future). I think Neptunes need to drop all these phonies like Roscoa P Coldchain, and keep people like Kelis this girl has brought a lot to the plate with the Milkshake song. Check out her new album if you like the neptunes. Peace 3 stars, AVG.

Too Good To Clone
Man, can the Neptunes get any hotter? For real, besides Timbaland, Pharrell and that other guy (Hugo or something) are the hardest evil geniuses that ever graced a turntable. Read more

The beats straight bump
Hugo and Pharrell lay it down hard on Clones. There are some sub-par tracks, but overall the variety of commercial mc's do it right. The ninth track with snoop, is hella crunk. Read more

Clones? How IRONIC!
Granted if you want to get the party going, play something by the Neptunes. Their funky beats are a great breath of fresh air from over-produced artists of yesteryear (IE: Dr Dre... Read more
