I'd go with Q Tip by a hair over Preem

[@MattCupan]

And I'd go with Pete Rock over Preemo

[@logkev]

Dre

[@matamichael79]

That's like saying you think Ray Allen is better than Jordan. You may like Ray Allen better, but he actually isn't one of the top 50 players of all time; whereas, MJ is the goat. I don't know if Premier is the GOAT, but he definitely could be argued to be, along with Dilla and Dre, if you're talking pure hip-hop beat production; maybe Marley belongs in the discussion as well, and RZA had as strong of a 5 year period as anybody, ever. Timbaland, Pharell/Neptunes, and Kanye if you're talking about pop/RnB/hip-hop production--the mainstream lane, basically. Although, Dre Gwen Steffani, Mary J Blige, Michelle Le) Dilla (Janet Jackson, Erykah Badu, D'angelo) and Primo (Limp Bizkit, remixes for everyone from Janet Jackson to alternative bands) also did their share of cross genre producing. All reasons why these producers are on another level compared to Pete Rock. When Pete Rock did a RnB joint, like on his Soul Survivor series, it was still just basically a straight sp-1200 sampler hip-hop joint.

[@tecknowledjee6933]

nujabes or doom

[@RuckusNW]

1) Pete Rock 2) Preem 3) Jay Dee 4) Dre 5) Tip 6) RZA 0) Madlib Nigga is more than a hip-hop producer. Too innovative too put him in a genre almost

[@rainterminal286]

too true.

[@matamichael79]

+Cole Bronson Lists are stupid to begin with, but how is it that every producer you have listed after Pete has more underground classics AND more mainstream-money making classics than he does, yet he is your number one? Did you not intend to make an objective list?

[@RuckusNW]

It's all subjective mane, but I think petestrumentals is arguably the best beat tape of all-time, among conversations with entroducing and donuts and shades of blue, and Pete Rock has been making consistent soul classics since the early 90's, I've always though of his nostalgic feel as untouchable, and no doubt he's had a major influence on probably everyone on the aforementioned list. I just don't think anyone captures the rawness that epitomizes the golden-age of Hip-Hop quite like he does, GOAT

[@tujuanberry7279]

where DOOM in this

[@RuckusNW]

as far as my personal preference goes, i'd slot DOOM in behind knxwledge but in front of 9th Wonder somewhere in my top 10

[@waedjradi]

Quas is a wild dude. He does have a song called "Bad Character" for a reason.

[@lxrdox]

I always thought whether or not he got sued for alot of his samples. Anyone else think that its killed the boom bap-sample movement of hip-hop?

[@pong224]

Not really.... I mean how did it kill it? As far as I'm concerned, the whole Trap game killed it. Fuck Trap.

[@lxrdox]

pong224 I guess I think so because its more of a hassle to get some of the samples cleared sometimes for example, so instead of waiting and going through all that to just put out some music, people gravitated to just making melodies and notes by themselves. Also, I guess most producers just want to avoid getting sued over a slither of audio. Too costly. I don't really think Trap ruined hip hop, its just another phase that'll probably pass within the next few years. I agree it is a little annoying though.

[@Crates94]

Titanium50 melodies and notes with shitty sounds

[@AvarusSpurius]

pong224 the trap is mostly based on synths and virtual instruments instead of samples so it still proves the point of sample lawsuits killed the movement

[@peepingtomthumb]

suing has not ruined fuck all. make your flips unrecognisable and make them your own instead of looping some shit and complaining when you cant get clearance cos its been looped to death.
