the real state of hip hop.

I would call Neptunes experiemental because they started the whole, no samples, trend. They actually use live instruments which was unheard of before them, with the exception of Dr. Dre using live drums during his Ruthless days. Neptunes though change the producing game, along with Swizz Beatz using no samples and a keyboard. The movement hit full stride when Dr. Dre released 2001, using the same techniques. The greatest rap producer of all time using these new ideas, that was the sign that the movement has started. I think that counts.

For no reason. They're one of the most creative hip-hop acts of the '90s. Their first album's a classic hip-hop record.

I liked them too. But I remember people hating. It's all debatable.

Not really. Experimental=doing something no one has ever done before. In music, of course. People used real instruments before - as you know. So the outcome of their music was pretty predictable. I wish more producers would switch to real drums and bass guitars, though. They sound much better than drum computers.

Besides, Stetsasonic, Beasties, The Goat and The Roots, all used real instruments before The Neptunes did. Even Digable Planets did on their second album.

Well, they were a bunch of weirdos. But same can be said about De La Soul. They were hated, too.
