25th Anniversary of Release
On March 8, 1994 Gang Starr released their 4th (and in my opinion their best) studio album Hard To Earn. Mass Appeal is the most recognizable song from the album but this one was probably my favorite. It was featured in the film White Men Can't Jump and I remember hearing it on an episode of Law & Order years ago.

The Neptunes are a mostly R&B/Hip Hop production duo consisting of Chad Hugo and Pharrell Williams. Pharrell is also a singer whose had hits with Happy, Frontin' and Can I Have It Like That. They were at their peak during the early 2000's when almost everything they touched turned to gold. They definitely have a signature sound of heavy synth that often sounds futuristic mixed with short punchy drum beats.
They've definitely had some pop success with Britney Spears, Gwen Stefani, Justin Timberlake and Robin Thicke. But my preference are their r&b and hip hop production credits. With that I'll count down my top 10 Neptunes beats of all time.
