TOP 3 HIP-HOP PRODUCERS OF ALL TIME

J-Dogg · (#1 (**permalink**))

My top 3 of all time would have 2 be

1)Dr.Dre---that goes without saying.Dre is the most important musical force in hip-hop history.From lacing N.W.A,,Snoop,Cube,Pac(before they fell out),Eminem,Xzibit,50,and most recently The Game--Nothing bangs more than a dre beat!!>
Favorite Dre beats gotta be "What's my Name"(Snoop), "Still D.R.E", "Hello"(Cube), "How we Do"(Game), "Rich Girl"(Gwen Stefani),yaani,the list is endless!!....

2)DJ Premier---Any tru hiphop head will tell u that primo is the absolute truth.i just love his real hiphop beats and how he's stuck to his style all these years.
Favorite Primo beats gotta be "Unbelievable"(B.I.G),"Boom"(Royce da 5'9"),and "Friend or Foe"(Jay-Z).Just try 2 imagine if u will,a Canibus album produced entirely by primo---classic!!

3)Kanye West--"The new version of Pete Rock" brought the soul back into hiphop with his sped-up soul samples and helped Common make "BE" a modern classic(if u haven't heard that album,or have heard it but don't like it--then i don't know what to tell you!!).College Dropout basically saved hiphop,and i haven't heard late registration yet,but i'm sure it's gonna be another classic from the "louis vuitton don".
Favorite K.West beats: everything he did on "Blueprint"(him and jay make amazing stuff),"Guess who's Back"(Scarface) and "The Corner"(Common).

First am a state am one of the dopest rap funs in kenya. with a 2,500 collection of rap of which a 1,000 is straight under I must have a say in this

So here are ma of 'of the meter' producers

Dr. Dre, has done albums by pac, NWA, Snoop, EM

Bomb Squad, Has done albums by P.E, Ice Cube etc

Jam Master Jay, A legend. Run DMC, P.E

Alchemist, Has Done trax for Nas, now he is Em's Dj

Dj Premier, Has done trax 4 Nas, Jay Z, Jeru, BIG etc

Scot La Rock, Krs One's partner in BDP

RZA, Of the Wu Tang

Eric B, Rakim's DJ very dope beat

Doug E Fresh, Best human beat box done trax 4 Nas,Slick Rick etc

Daz Dilliger, Worked on Snoop's, Pac's album, DPG,

Large Professor, Big Daddy Kane,A Tribe Called Quest, Nas, Rakim

Prince Paul, BDP, Gravediggaz, MC Lyte, Big Daddy Kane

I cant list all I got many that I respect. Kanye 4 me doesnt lie in that class that I have listed I aint sayin he is wack but he aint a legend yet. But I love the work he did on Common's album. He is also workin on L. Hill's return album. Timba is kool to but not big enough so is Jermaine Dupri and Swizz Beatz. But those I listed there have done rap's best albums of all time.

You rate Alch higher but put down Kanye? don't sleep Kanye been doing his thing for minute...D'dot was using his #### in 96/97. Alch is not wack neither but he is on the same level or below kanye in any which way..no way is he better
