Hip-Hop Producers

[Fawkes]

Hip-hop production is what I consider to be the 5th element of hip-hop. Who do you guys think are the best producers? I personally really like the Bomb Squad (PE), Medasyn (Lady Sovereign), and Danger Mouse (Gnarls Barkley). While I respect him a lot 'cause he was really innovative, I'm not a huge fan of Dre 'cause I'm not that big of a fan of G-Funk.

[jaycee]

you gotta put Dre up there man, seriously how can someone that produces for fukin lady soveriegn be ahead of a pioneer like Dre. But anyway Dj Premier is heavy, Jurassic 5 (Dj Nu mark and Cut Chemist) always have heavy beats so do The Coup (Pam the Funktress). There are a lot of heavy producers about tho.

Timbaland is cool, but he needs to work with sum better artists.

If you like hip hop check this site out

And i guess that you listen to Krs One, from the fact that you number the Elementz of Hip Hop.

[Fawkes]

I said I respect Dre because he was/is so innovative, but I am not a big fan of G-Funk myself. And I like Medasyn a lot because he incorporates a lot of house and techno music into his songs which I like a lot.

[BreadBros]

Dre, Timbaland, Just Blaze, Jay-Z, will.i.am, RJD2, Andre 3000, theres a bunch. Greastest ever? Dre.

[Pawn Power]

I agree with the selection of RJD2 and Danger Mouse, they are quite versatile.

[Pirate Utopian]

Jay Dee was dope, sadly he died

[Fawkes]

Does anyone know who produced The New Danger (album) by Mos Def?

[Pirate Utopian]

Mos Def, Kanye West, 88 Keys, Minnesota, Warryn Campbell, Psycho Les all did their part.
that album was kind of weak

[Fawkes]

I thought the production on that was great.


Oh yeah, I forgot to menton Kanye before, he's sick.

[Pirate Utopian]

i like Prince Paul's work on De La Soul's 3 Feet High And Rising
great album

[Fawkes]

Did Dre produce "Lose Yourself"?

[Pirate Utopian]

no Eminem himself produced it

[Fawkes]

Yeah, that's what I thought, it didn't sound very "Dre-ey".

[Dominicana_1965]

Alchemist, Havoc from Mobb Deep.
Also DJ Green Latern be making some ill productions.

[Louis Pio]

Necro for one, think the guys a genius. Also Ill Bill, Muggs and DJ Lethal.
Really looking forward to La Coka Nostra making an album.

[Pirate Utopian]

Necro is good, but crazy.....
i like large proffesor

[Louis Pio]

Necro is good, but crazy.....

All good Hip hop is crazy. Kool Keith, Necro, Deltron 3030 etc etc

[Fidelbrand]

Jay-Z is quite good..
Snoop Dogg's pimp thing doesn't appeal to me though.

I like Nelly 's slow hip-hop love songs, anyone ?

[BreadBros]

Never heard his love songs, but I dont like most of Nelly. As for slow hip-hop love songs:

[Intifada]

"No ID" deserves a mention, simply for producing most of Common's "Resurrection" album.

[chimx]

Stoupe of Jedi Mind Tricks is phenomenal, and highly under-rated.

[Louis Pio]

Damn Chimx for once I agree with you

Without a doubt, Stoupe is IMO the best out there
He exceeds the skills of Dre, the man is damn good
Violent By Design, I rest my case

Other good producers: Just Blaze, DJ Prem, Hi-Tek, DJ Honda, Alchemist, Chuck Beats, RZA,

[Revalation]

Dre is the king of hip hop production his sales are high and stood the test of time I also like timberland, Danger mouse, Kayne West and Daddy Skitz

[Pirate Utopian]

i dont like timbaland at all, he's way too pop

[Revalation]

I like some pop especially hip-pop

[Pirate Utopian]

i hate hip-pop, because it is nothing but brainless garbage for money

I heard that stoupe is a racist. Cause he was at some show and someone passed him a blunt with nothing in it supposedly and apparently he said "fucking black people".

But my favorite producers are...........

will.I.am
Dangermouse
Southpaw (he does production for Immortal Technique and company)
Akir
Eyego/Direct (they do production for Reef the Lost Cauze)
King Magnetic
and............
Me (even though I'm not that good at it)

Using sales as an indicator of talent and skills is ridiculous
Lil John's sold millions, does that mean he got skills?
Same goes for idiots like Laffy Taffy and other clown shit in hiphop

That's not necessarily a racist remark, could of been a joke u know
Plus, he didn't use ni**er
I doubt he's racist, the guy works with black MC's all the time

I'm actually real down for that. I'll send you the lyrics before I record just to get your blessing on it. My email is [email protected]

And thats pretty funny you said that cause I'm listening to Little Brother's Minstrel Show as we speak

[Organic Revolution]

e-mail is on the way

[IronLion]

Only one person mentioned DJ Premier?

[Fawkes]

I do some producing, though very little. I'm much more of an MC than I am a producer.

[midnight marauder]

No Rza? :(

Anyone wanna check out my tunes, I'm the emcee not the producer.

Really though?
Not to mention
Madlib
MF DOOM
Pharrel

I'll admit that DOOM's just a personal fetish, not the greatest; but pharrel, madlib and rza! Top five with Primo and Ali Shaheed Muhammed (ATCQ)

[Pirate Utopian]

Pharrell?, so bad it makes me laugh
