[edit] Re-launching

"They have also helped re-launch the careers of Snoop Dogg, ODB, Robin Thicke and Mystikal." It's wrong to say they helped re-launch the careers of these artists, particularly snoop dogg. When has Snoop's career ever needed re-launching?

[edit] Production Discography

As Pharrell and NERD have their own prospective sites I thought that this page should contain their production discography. My inspiration was from the Scott Storch page. Would it be possible for someone to format it into a similar style?

thanks for noticing my link to the production techniques and adding in that information, but i am of the strong opinion that maintaining a list which is meerly a copy of an official list is pointless; it adds massive bloat to the page and is always going to be less up to date than the linked, official, version. If you really must keep a wikified copy of the discography, then please add it to a new 'neptunes discograpy' or production credits page. i am therefore deleting it but it is of course available on 'older versions' of the page if u wish to do this.Bungalowbill 17:05, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

OK, i decided to create a separate Neptunes discography page, and do it chronologically, but could someone please help.. its a bit much for one person..

haha, that production technique section was my idea and entirely my work. good job at trying to take credit for my work! but bad luck! i noticed! - soladee

[edit] Reworked page

Considering how big these produces (in popularity not stature) I thought that they deserved a more respectable page. I hope you like what I did. No doubt there will be plenty of spelling errors, and maybe even factual errors.

[edit] Connection between the Neptunes & the Matrix

Could someone tell me what their connection to the Matrix is? Chsf 10:55, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

I thought i knew everytjing about the neptunes but it appears there;s still a lot to find about them :)

i don't think they have any direct connection to the songwriting team the Matrix; but the matrix are major pop writers, so I'm sure they've collaborated with the Neptunes at least once.

[edit] Changed prince link

The link went to prince, not prince_(aritst) Link updated.

[edit] Name

I was under the impression the name "the neptunes" comes from the fictionsl band the neptunes that apeared on the TV show The Jetsons. If someone could clarify the origin of the name that would be great.

[edit] Oops I did it again vs. Slim shady remix

I once saw a remix on television of Oops I did it again vs. Slim shady, and no it isn't the one were you can only here eminems part, it was a remix by the neptunes and it you could here britney sing and eminem rap, I never found it again, can somebody help me if they ever heard of this?

The Neptunes have never had anything to do with such a remix, nor any other 'vs' mashup..

[edit] "Spacy and Weird" "Unique Drum Sounds" "Futuristic Snare Drum"

Until somebody can tell me what the hell any of the above means, I'm taking it out. Honestly, it's awful writing and seriously lacks any description other than to hint at the writer's somewhat sheltered POV.
