Question of the day: which rap blogger once posted a picture of Pharrell & A Bathing Ape's (former) owner Nigo and billed it as Pharrell Williams & Chad Hugo? Whilst your mulling the answer over, take a gander at this generic list of Pharrell & Chad knock-offs that knock way harder than Sean Price's Fake Neptune. Alternative post title: thank you Mario Winans and XL, you very competent hacks.

Black Rob ft. Diddy - Knock 'Em Out (2005)
Loon ft. Kelis - How You Want That? (2003)

Feel like Jermaine Dupri had at least one great Neptunes rip-off beat too but I'll be damned if I can remember its title and/or benefactor at the moment.

40 had One Night Stand off the same album too, you can tell its Rick though.
One of the New Content Cartel?
Jeff Weiss?
Serious question: was the Giggin' video the absolute pinnacle of rap music?
There's a pretty good one on Shyne's first album. Probably another Mario Winnans beat?
Gotta be Soderberg?
I think JD did 'What Da Hook Gon Be' for Murphy Lee which sounds kinda Neptunes-ish ?
"Serious question: was the Giggin' video the absolute pinnacle of rap music?"
Yes
Good call.
Dead @ Kelis ending up on bootleg Neptunes production.
Jermaine Dupri had a Neptunes song with Clipse

Espacio is one of the best Bad Boy songs ever. Also Fake Neptune is still sick
What about Birdman and Diddy's 'Do That'? Even has fake Kelis vox
I always thought Nasty Bitch by Trina was a Neptunes beat with Pharrell ad libs. Turns out I was wrong on both counts.
