There's literally ONE Neptunes beat on this album. If anything this album was more of a prequel to the Blueprint formula of Just/Bink/Kanye.
And The Blueprint is anything but following hip hop trends. The late 90s/early 2000s were full of bloated 20ish track albums with useless skits/interludes, guests on nearly every track, a hodgepodge of every popular producer, and songs for every occasion (club tracks, street tracks, girl tracks, etc). The Blueprint was 13 tracks, all songs (no skits/interludes) a handful of producers providing mostly a cohesive sound (there are def tracks that defy that sound ie "Jigga That N") and only one guest spot.
