Best Hip Hop Producer

[Frank Martin]

Who do you think produced the best songs?

[Kobe Bryant]

I have to go with Dre personally. He's been apart of and had his hand in so much music. I wouldn't be mad if someone went with Premo though.

Co-sign!!

Based on songs, you gotta admire what Premier & Pete Rock did in the 90s. The revolutionized the Hip Hop sound at the time and both produced classic ENTIRE albums.

I don't try putting one over the other, but my list is as follows in no order:

Pete Rock
DJ Premier
Diamond D
Dr Dre
J Dilla
Marley Marl
Buckwild
Alchemist
Large Professor
Q-Tip

Newer generation:

Illmind
DJ Khalil
S-1 (Strange Fruit Project)
Black Milk
RL (out of FL)
Jake One
M-Phazes
Swiff D (Naaaasty!!! Kills 9th Wonder on Fruity Loops)

Thats a weak list, some of the most notable producers are missing there
Kanye
Just Blaze
Timbaland to name just a few.

I vote for Dre, he's been a top prodcuer for 20 years. Nomatter how the sound changes he manages to hold on to his legendary producer status

[MegStarr*]

lame list.


my "Others" vote was specifically for JDilla

my other all time favorites include:

Pete Rock
Premo
RZA
9th Wonder
Madlib
Kanye West

and some newer producers that may end up on that list if they keep up what they're doing...

Exile
M-Phazes
Black Milk
Jake One

[Truth]

my favorite producer is either just blaze or 9th wonder.

but the best is probably rza

[CrackYourJaw]

Well, besides Premo, Dre, J Dilla, Pete Rock, RZA and all the heavy hitters, there's a lot of talented in the newer generation also.

Exile
Black Milk
Jake One

Anyone else like Sabzi?
