4.0 out of 5 stars Good But Not Great, September 24, 2003

By 

Keith L Raynor (Decatur, GA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Neptunes Present: Clones (Bonus DVD) (Audio CD)

I'd give it 3 and a half if I could, but Ill give it 4 for star power and the following Pharell and Chad, particularly the former, have accrued. As it is, this CD has some big names, as everyone has heard. However, some of the verses are disappointing and the beats are good, although some of the experimental ones arent as good as you'd come to expect. If you like club beats, you'll love Luda's "It Wasn't Us" and NORE's "Put Em Up" (despite Noreaga's horrible lyrics). NERD fans get lucky with one of the best tracks "Loser". Clipse adds a lot to this CD with great lyrics wherever they go, and I hope to see them work with the Neptunes in the future. However, Busta Rhymes disappoints on the experimental percussion beats of "Light Your A** on Fire", in which his verses are disappointing. The Neptunes bring in Kelis and a newer gal, Vannessa Marquez, who do some good tracks. Nas and Kelis go together perfectly on "Popular Thug". Overall, the CD is worth getting if youre a big Neptunes or even hip-hop fan or want a star-studded cast. However, if youre just looking to get a good CD or hit the next thing to look good...this aint it.

2.0 out of 5 stars WHAT IS THIS !!???!, August 25, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Neptunes Present: Clones (Bonus DVD) (Audio CD)

I was extremely disapointed in the Neptunes' new Clones album. I was so amped up for this one especially after the soulful slammin lead single "Frontin". The Clones CD is actually a compilation album. Lots of people actually thought that this album would only feature Pharell Williams and Star Trak fam only. But what we have here is one big chaotic mess with no structure. There's no continuity present on this album. And most of all there's no substance. It's like they called up all of the artists that they've previously worked with, invited them to the studio to knock out a track in 5 minutes, This is obvious on a majority of the tracks. The clones album was lazily put together with no sense of direction. This is evident on songs like Popular Thug f/ Nas & Kelis, "Popular Thug is a song that's already on Kelis's wanderland album, which was released a year ago, only this time they excluded Pusha T's verses and insert her hubby to be Nas's. It just dosen't sound right. Why is "Hot Damn" (remixed video version ) on here we've already heard it a million times on the Clipse album. So many of the album's songs just simply [aren't good], compared to what we normally expect from Pharell and Chad. I had bigger expectations for this after playing the N.E.R.D. album all the time in my deck. as a matter of fact the only standouts here are songs by Spymob, N.E.R.D., and a banging song called "Hot" which features a nice up and comming emcee from Philly named Roscoe P. Coldchain. The Rock songs just don't blend in well on this album...and I know 5 out of 10 of the closed minded people that will be buying this album will skip right thru those tracks. The limited addition CD comes with a cool DVD. But nontheless save your money and don't believe the hype. I see a lot of reviews in here rating this album as a 5, but if someone actually gives this album a 5 they honestly don't know much about music. This CD turned out to be so weak that I now use it as a coaster on my coffee table. It's time that the Neptunes start growing and expanding more with their sound or they're going to fall victim to redundancy. I hope they rep Virginia the right way the next time around.

This album is amazing. The style is hip-hop and a lil' rock. Everysong is a winner the lyrics are brilliant. You could listen to this for days on end and wouldnt get bored (i found out myself:) ) If you like most hip-hop, rap and r 'n' b music you'll love this, also if you like rock to you'll love it. Drum's, guitar's, great rapping and singing and of course the wonderful voice of Pharrell. What more could you want???
