Best hiphop producer of all time????

[Cause]

To me the best hiphop producer of all time is Dj premier

[IMportdreams95]

Dj Premier is really good, But this topic is def. an opinion. IMO the best producer/instrumentals is Timbaland with out a doubt.

[TheMollywhopper]

I know it's really early in his game, but Kanye West is the greatest in my book. Timbo and Premier would definately be in my top 10 though.

[KilluhKam]

IMO 2pac is the best anything when it comes to rap lol

[TheMollywhopper]

I'm not the biggest fan of his, but I've never heard of him as a producer?!

[graf1k]

I'm not the biggest fan of his, but I've never heard of him as a producer?!

A quick look at Wikipedia shows he produced some of the tracks on The Don Killuminati & All Eyez on Me. To my knowledge he did little it any production for anyone other than himself, but I also am not the biggest 2Pac fan.

[Shaaady Souljah]

I have always liked Dre beats. (the doc, not that new wannabe "dre")...
Timbaland is real good of course.

But the new producer of the times is without a doubt....Scott Storch.

[xfrancox]

I'm a fan of Danger Mouse.

[Minty]

I'm a fan of Danger Mouse.

[xfrancox]

Who isnt?!!

Haha, well no one named him yet.

Besides those already mentioned, 9th Wonder and Jus Blaze deserve to be mentioned also..

[TheMollywhopper]

I'm a fan of Danger Mouse.

The Grey Album is the shit (Jay-Z + The Beatles = OMGWTFAWOL)
Which reminds me we've neglected to throw in Rick Rubin!

You cant kill 2PAC you cant beat 2PAC, so I gota say 2PAC

[Shaaady Souljah]

You cant kill 2PAC you cant beat 2PAC, so I gota say 2PAC

ok, i love Pac. but he is not a top-notch, quality producer. i am one of the few people i know that chooses him over biggie hands down, but c'mon people! he barely made any beats!

r.i.p. tupac shakur. one of the greatest RAPPERS of all-time. :drunk

and one for my homies :drunk ;)

[xX MaslaN Xx]

he barely made any beats!
We all know that, but thats what all of us keep to our selfs...even after he died you still keep it to your self ;)

[Shaaady Souljah]

Iv got some really bad news for you.....

One of those isnt true. Actually two of those, but hey.

[TheMollywhopper]

Yeah... not to step on any toes or start a gang war, but Tupac and Biggie would both be has-beens if they were still alive. I'm starting a new thread so we can keep this one on topic!

[Legend Dairy]

I don't think I can really pick out "the best" but some of my favorites off the top of my head are...

Hi-Tek
Dan the Automator - From his work on Deltron 3030, Kool Kieths Dr. Octagon, Gorillaz, and Handsome Boy Modeling School w/ Prince Paul
DJ Shadow
Eric B
Jedi Mind Tricks (Not sure the guys name)
9th Wonder

[xfrancox]

Which reminds me we've neglected to throw in Rick Rubin!

I thought of saying him, but went with Danger Mouse instead. Rick Rubin is definitely amazing though.

I love 2Pac but I dont see him as a producer.

[Legendary RJK]

Rap- PAPOOSE!!!!
Hip-Hop-Ludacris

[Maka]

I like Dre...
I like Eminem...
I like DangerMouse...

2Pac, is Not the Greatest in My Opinion, Highly-Overated..

[TheMollywhopper]

Rap- PAPOOSE!!!!
Hip-Hop-Ludacris

...another rapper not known for his skill as a producer...

[Cause]

What about alchemist

[TheMollywhopper]

Alchemist is the shit, too.

[Krazie]

What about alchemist

Defintely, not sure why I didn't mention him..

[graf1k]

Besides those already mentioned, 9th Wonder and Just Blaze deserve to be mentioned also..

Yes. 9th Wonder has been doing great shit with Murs and Just Blaze has some fucking crazy beats. I almost always dig his stuff. Madlib is dope too for some more Jazz type shit. And Francos right about Danger Mouse. Hell after Danger Doom and Gnarls Barkley he deserves producer of the year no doubt.

[IceWarm]

I'll go with Dr. Dre especially from his Chronic albums.

[TimProvise]

I like the crispness in Pharrell's Beats Very Unique and you can tell if its his touch on the track

[KilluhKam]

You cant kill 2PAC you cant beat 2PAC, so I gota say 2PAC


IMO pac isnt really dead...and im sure people are gonna flame me because i say this, but fuck it i dont care what anyone thinks IMO pac is the best anything when it comes to rap and i honestly dont think the 2pac is dead pac will remain the best rapper, no one will ever be better then him

[Fonkey Monkey]

[KilluhKam]

you may be right...pac could be alive. i have studied a lot that supports this idea.
and you may be right...pac could be the greatest rapper of all time. you do not get an argument from me...

but this thread is about producers, and although pac has produced a little bit...he is not one of the best of all-time.

just thought i would try and throw the thread back towards its intended direction is all. i enjoy your guys' discussion, but it is not fully applicable.

Very true, but Timbaland has always done a great job with his beats. Missy Elliott, Alayiah (sp), Justin Timberlake. TIMBALAND AND MAGOO!!

[TheMollywhopper]

Not sure man, did he die?

[Maka]

If he died He'd be famous ;)

[IMportdreams95]

If he died He'd be famous ;)

Are you kidding me, you dont know who he is!:p

[TheMollywhopper]

Maka's right... if he did die there'd be at least a dozen people singing his praises in the "Greatest MC EVA" thread.

[Rebel_INS]

Im a huge hip-hop head :). Gotta go with RZA on this. Premo, Pete Rock, Prince Paul, J-Dilla, Erick Sermon, MF Doom, Dr. Dre

Just to name a few ^ Haha

[Silent Kitten]

Dr. Dre and Eminem....NO CONTEST.

[babyfarmer]

It blows my mind that only one other person has mentioned the RZA. Wu-Tang forever.

[Adam Miller]

Gotta be DR.DRE

[Cause]

Ya ll forgot one more. Pete rock. Classic producer

[B3r3tta]

I'd have to say my favorite of all-time would have to be Premo, but I'll just copy/paste my list from another site.

dj premier
rza
pete rock
just blaze
dr.dre(not so much anymore, but still is an all-time great)
stoupe
havoc
hi-tek

Good thread, btw.

[SpideR NY]

Glad to see a few heads say the RZA. I think hes the best and has crossed over to do movies (Kill Bill, etc)

[IMportdreams95]

Me??!?!?!? :confused:

:woop:

[Shaaady Souljah]

Best Producer: Joe Budden. Hands down. ;)

:p:p:p :eek: :confused:
