The problem isn’t them bringing it back
Like @Sk8brdKee said, it’s the lack of understanding when it comes to the fundamentals of the production and what made it great. They understand how to replicate the sounds, not the songwriting or the structure of the arrangement itself.
Sep 23, 2025All of these trend hopping producers have no idea what they’re doing. There’s certain people who get the feel right but they’re few and far between

@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 feel the same way. Also these guys quantize everything

To be fair, Pharrell and Chad did quantize as well, but they also incorporated hand movement.
Plus these dudes still haven't learned the Bridges factor.

This is real especially when you consider so much of what they made came off the same workstation sound-wise. It was the arranging skills that made those songs memorable (on top of the songwriting ofc)
