Puppy is a beatmaker though don’t get it twisted he can make a beat on his own and has Dunso just like Jermaine Dipree but yes you are right in Timberland does it too when they use keyboard is and people who actually know how to play instruments I noticed that for instance Timberland will come up with the percussion and start out a B and then he’ll tap in with the keyboardist J. Cole also does the same thing so at some point we got to start to wonder who actually produces on their own I believe R. Kelly might’ve done a lot of things actually all on his own Ryan Leslie did things on his own those are people who really need the credit when it comes to producing not just people who are rains other people stuff

Much respect to both these legends... but this is why there is a difference between a beatmaker & a producer.. and some people are both.

[@anotherway18]

What’s the difference

[@jman1562001]

@@anotherway18 From my understanding a beatmaker essentially makes the beat, but a producer arranges/composes the record. Adding little sounds, putting a singer here or there, laying another instrumentation, basically bringing the record to life in a different way. For example, the MVP remix record was originally BIG L's single, Puff took that same record and instead removed the boom bap style more prominent and smoothed it out with the piano and little subtle elements which became "One More Chance". Same beat, but a different record. Plus being a A&R/music executive, the fact that the Puff's and Irv's have a name recognition gives it more credibility then a say a upcoming beatmaker. Hell didn't the guy from the Hitman Production squad take credit for Kanye West beats that too.

[@skywalker9601]

Yet u, still have legends that don't know the difference

[@GeneralBuckNaked]

Of course, JD is not gonna ever admit to having ghost writers, most rappers won't but quite a few of them do, no one cares about R&B artists having other writers, but in Hip Hop, it's always been considered taboo to claim credit for tracks you didn't actually make and/or songs you didn't write!!!
