The Neptunes are the Phineas and Ferb of hip-hop/R&B. Pharrell is the Phineas, the frontman and face of the duo. Chad is the Ferb, a man of action not words who can break out any skill at the drop of the hat.
I'm the underdog, behind the scenes type of dude, so that's always who I root for. And I've always been intrigued by Chad. As much as I dig Pharrell and his work, I love The Neptunes as a unit so much better, and I get souped up when there's a new Neptunes or N.E.R.D project.
@Melissa Unicorn I kinda feel you, but nah, we don't have to downgrade one to uplift the other. To say Pharrell "was never the talented one between the two of them" is untrue. Frankly, it sounds like hate lol. Pharrell's talent is undeniable. He's also charismatic and intriguing, whereas Chad is more low-key.
Chad is an icon and inspiration for many Filipino music artists and producers who will make up the next generation. I am glad he is finally getting his national shine!
One of the main reasons i started producing was cus there was a Filipino guy named chad on the neptunes. Knowing a filipino in america can make it big in the hiphop scene makes me proud to be from there. I know for a fact everything that the neptunes is, is cuz of chad. Pharell said it himself and he means that and look at chad just brush it off classy move man! Salamat!
Im so damn happy for these two. Legendary producers who pushed the sound of hip hop, r&b, and pop music to another universe. They just sounded different than anyone else.
They literally birthed an entire generation of sound. I'm blessed 2 have been a teen at tha apex of their success...it was a beautiful time in music that I wish I could travel back into often. Top 5 greatest producers of EVERY AND ANY genre, ever.
Same. I was 11 in '04 when She Wants to Move came out. Their music is timeless and some of it I can't believe sounded so ahead of its time. I'm so glad to have grown up in the early 2000's🌸
✨Chad and Pharell’s music is the soundtrack of my life. Like I really can’t imagine my LIFE without them. This is no exaggeration. Their happy up tempo music have lifted my spirits on MANY days of years. ✨
These two are the whole reason why I started to produce my own music. The Neptune's / NERD along with Shay , is something else and the album "The Neptune's presents the clones" is such an underrated album one if my favourite albums of all time. 🔥🔥
Chad can play literally any and very instrument Pharrell can sing and rap arrange music put albums together in his head instantly they both do all these things at cosmic otherworldly levels
The goats 🐐🐐 never forget having frontin on repeat!! But from N.E.R.D to hit after hit holler back girl and drop it like it’s hot we’re middle school anthems one for the guys and one for the girls 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Alex Lugo you’re too young to remember Wrex-n-Effex with Teddy Riley. Been listening to these guys since the early 90’s. They’re local to me in Va beach, and have met them a bunch of times around here. 757/Va has so much talent it’s not even funny.
I'll never forget the very first album I heard from the Neptune's when I was a toddler. And that album was N.E.R.D. in search of (2001) my older brother used to play all the time back then. Now most of Pharrell's music and the Neptune's music are on my playlist along with a whole bunch of artists from the 2000s era. I'm just glad I was born in the era of Good music.
As a student in Hampton U (1999-2004) I was there when they pretty much dominated everything, and had the privilege of being inside Hovercraft Studios in VA Beach when they won their first MTV award. The Neptunes and Max Martin pretty much owned the world for a considerable amount of time. #Clones #HovercraftStudios #Neptunes #NERD
missgigi True that !! I’ve loved them since the late 90’s ! They inspired me to get into music. When you hear beats that give you goosebumps you know it’s the real deal !! 🖖🏼
They’re mad underrated, to understand how influential they are to the 🎶 industry, in 2003, 43% of the songs that came out that year were produced by them, they got Tyler the Creator into music, glad they got the credit they deserve! Congrats on the feat!!!👏👏👏
Nowadays from VA you got DRAM, Kali Uchis and Lekeli47 in terms of music. At one point J.I.D and EarthGang even though they’re from the ATL attended school in Virginia. And also athletes from the Tidewater area are starting to make it big.
I love how Pharrell said thank you to everyone who helped them. Hello Pharrell and Chade, my two sons are up-and-coming music producers. it's not about me it's about a father helping his sons.
These two understood groove!! Chords that give that new feeling, out of space without sounding scifi. Inspire me to this day, song like frontin, with the bridge in contrast to the rest of the song gives me that "what will happen tomorrow feeling" The song doesn't end, it continues to a new place . Then JT's album justified. I wish to have motivated friends that I could grow the visions with.
Chad is definitely a real producer, and probably fits more into the underground electronic music scene in terms of his remain in the background and out of the lime light type of persona :) Happy to see these guys get inducted they deserve it
epakerd Pharrell is equally as talented most definitely! he’s just extroverted, so it’s a good mesh. Most producers like chad who experiment with synths and electronics like he does are more techie types and prefer to remain silent creating tracks. Pharrell knows his partner is like that because he kept reinforcing in the interview that chad has been a driving force behind a lot of the tracks he performs on over the years.
Omg Pharrell with facial hair and yellow diamonds yes taking it back to The In Search Of days and I'vebeen waiting for it!!!! I just need him to do the guy liner for me again bc it really brings out his lovely eyes 💚💚💚💚💚 so good to see Chad again I missed him so much 💚💚💚💚💚💚
THEY are a great duo, no one deserves more credit than the other, I believe that they were both crucial to the neptunes sound, not taking credit from one and giving it to the other. I don't listen to this type of music anymore, but I will randomly go back and recognize the talent of both by pulling up some of their songs. I was always a beat person and never really cared what the words said anyways. I used to dream about being a producer like the neptunes until I found out all of the sin I would be in trying to get there. I just can't get why this whole comment section is trying to credit one over the other, why not say it took both? One wouldn't be the greatest without the other.....
Pharrell is such a rarity in hip-hop. A genre that can fall victim to ego, pride and braggadocios behavior you have Pharell a man of appreciation and humility. You love to see it!
The Neptunes are the Phineas and Ferb of hip-hop/R&B. Pharrell is the Phineas, the frontman and face of the duo. Chad is the Ferb, a man of action not words who can break out any skill at the drop of the hat.
Thats a brilliant comparison. Like seriously spot on.
Mr. Theta that’s a good comparison 💯
I concur
brilliant
Who are Phineas and Ferb? The only Phineas I know is PT Barnum.
So glad Chad is getting his flowers.
Exactly!!!
preach , i love that
There won’t be a Pharrell with out Chad Hugo
@@bigfutmusic Would there be a Chad without Pharrell?
@@OOpSjm Nope
Incredible duo. They created a undeniable, unorthodox sound of a generation. The Neptunes are top 5 in my book.
William's World top 1
I come from the 757 so they always number 1 for me
they are my top 1
So glad Chad came for the interview. Dude might be the actual mastermind of The Neptunes. No discredit to Pharrell. He's a genius.

The fact that Pharrell still looks 25...
be real he look in his 30s
He look at least 31 but no more than 34.
In your mind.
he look old and young at the same time... to me he is looking his age
vampire
Chad is an icon and inspiration for many Filipino music artists and producers who will make up the next generation. I am glad he is finally getting his national shine!
Chad looks so uncomfortable in this interview but mad confident on those turntables. I am glad he’s getting his recognition.
These guys produced so many hits. Well deserved!
Alex Stathopoulos True
The Neptunes, Timbaland, Swizz Beatz & Just Blaze took over the early 2000's with some great production.
and Kanye
What about Scott ?
Thankful I grew up during this time 😍❤️
Missy Elliott also!
Interesting how a bunch of them all came out of the same neighbourhood.
The Phineas and Ferb of the producing game.
In fact was Phineas and Ferb before Phineas and Ferb.
Accurate asl 😂
Damn, they didn’t expect the edibles to hit that soon 😂
I love the Neptunes. I wish one day we’d do a song together
Jamal Ali 😂😂😂chad was slapped😤
@@slumpdead2824 LOL

The Neptunes made the soundtrack of my high school years back in the early '00s!
SAME
Clipse - Lord Willin’ 😭🙌🏽

Im so damn happy for these two. Legendary producers who pushed the sound of hip hop, r&b, and pop music to another universe. They just sounded different than anyone else.
I'm glad to see them back together! This is what the game has been missing! Staaaar Trak!!!!
These guys produced all my favorite songs growing up, legends, I’m glad they’re getting their flowers while they’re still here 🖖🏽

Chad is The Neptunes, he's the backbone holding it down, without him there is no Neptunes.
Especially if you’re a big fan of the neptunes then you KNOW this.
Well I mean, there’s only 2 of them, so there’s no Neptune’s without either one of them.
Yeah only Neptune
Pharrell is the vision, the songwriter and co-producer. Chad is like the band
Can you spot the introvert. That would be me too, I feel you chad.
These two are the whole reason why I started to produce my own music. The Neptune's / NERD along with Shay , is something else and the album "The Neptune's presents the clones" is such an underrated album one if my favourite albums of all time. 🔥🔥
Agreed
S/O to CHAD he doesn’t get enough credit
STAK he likes being lowkey
he doesn't want it
the neptunes shaped our generation growing up. Best Middle school/Highschool music weekened parties ever!
Chad can play literally any and very instrument Pharrell can sing and rap arrange music put albums together in his head instantly they both do all these things at cosmic otherworldly levels

Perioddd
Happy b-day Chad 🎈
All the girls standing in the line for the bathroom
Please come out with an official part 2 for "clones" and get Vanessa Marquez needs a solo album.
Nothing will compete with the early Neptunes sound ( 98-2004). It was just so damn incredible.
Love how P gives chad the respect he deserves
Neptunes is the sound...so futuristic and out of this world ...the music created is definitely an experience
These two are the reason I make music! I’m so appreciative of their music! Genius and legends!!!
Hampton Roads, VA!! Stand up!!
Congratulations to The Neptunes! They deserve it!
757 represent! Love my area. Two up, two down.
757! 7 Cities all day!
804 RVA
The greatest production duo of all-time.
Their music is literally the definition of the 2000s
so 50-70% of pop/rnb/hiphop beat in early 2000 was created by the neptunes!! salute!
The Legendary Neptunes from Virginia
YESSIR 🖖🏻🔝🎹
Acknowledge their own album, “Seeing Sounds”.
Joy Popoola exactly!
That’s a NERD album the Neptunes album is Clones
Fake Name 2 talk to em
N.E.R.D.!!!!
The Neptunes are amazing. My favorite works of theirs that I listen to quite often are on SWV’s New Beginning.
"Use Your Heart" 🔥🔥🔥
I think that was their first song placement.
My hero’s growing up. They created what music basically is today, real glad they got a shout out totally underrated
There's sounds that sound like music, and there's music! Thanks Pharrell and Chad for making the 2000's a place to be😎
Forever in my heart

Why does Chad look like he's in pain...
I love them so much and so proud of them ❤️
So agree about that feeling and that’s what I’ve felt w every Neptunes track..the only other producer I feel that with is Kaytranada
missgigi True that !! I’ve loved them since the late 90’s ! They inspired me to get into music. When you hear beats that give you goosebumps you know it’s the real deal !! 🖖🏼
missgigi Timbaland too
Best duo ever❤❤ theyve made sooo many good hits! I love pharrell and his own songs too and NERD. Love Chad!

We're fortunate to enjoy the fruits of their lifelong friendship, incredibly humbled just listening to them.
One of the greatest of all time. Chad and pharrell music touched by soul. Up there with Maurice White, James Brown, Hendrix.
My music inspiration comes from these guys. They deserve every recognition they get.
Their project with the Clipse was straight fire!
The greatest!!🖖🏾🖖🏾✅
Chad hugo the master !
I'm convinced Pharrell is a vampire he stays hella young!!!! Either that or he knows where the fountain of youth is
Well this didn’t age well lol
THEY ARE LEGENDS
Chad Hugo is a great producer but he looks like a chinese bored frog in this video LoL
MC CABE he was high asf.
😂 stop it
He must have eaten an edible or something. He definitely looks like I do when I go deep into the murky waters.
There won’t be a Pharrell with out Chad Hugo
And worth 55 M’s too
Chad is definitely a real producer, and probably fits more into the underground electronic music scene in terms of his remain in the background and out of the lime light type of persona :) Happy to see these guys get inducted they deserve it
