Top 10 Producers List

[DaWorldFamous]

This will be fun...I want to see everyone's list on whose the best...U can use any criteria, but they should be known and u should exclude yourself unless u are Dre or somebody.....

10. The Bomb Squad....Public Enemy's production team...Used lots of samples and music was greatly animated
9. Manitronik...Probobly one of the best Drum programmers ever...
8. Jermaine Dupree...legendary and has the hits to prove it
7. Pete Rock....The Number one Soul Brother
6. Marley Marl...one of raps godfathers...The Symphony and The Bridge....wow
5. Teddy Riley....The hottest remix of all time was the "Right Here/Human Nature" joint
4. Puff Daddy....Remix King...He did invent the Remix as we know it and nobody is nicer on the boards except Dre
3. Dr. Dre...Do i really have to explain this man...Fuckin Awesome
2. RZA...The Wu Sound made me change my strategy...the dirty samples and the half measure drum beats
1. DJ Premier.....If His work doesn't speak for this man, then nothin can...Revelutionary. "Come Clean" was fuckin Incredible...his sound was unmistakeable...the scratches on hooks the drum beats...wow

Honorable mentions: Pharell, Timbaland, DJ Mark the 45 King, Dallas Austin, Stimulated Dummies, Trackmasters, Prince Paul, Easy Mo Bee

Can't wait to see your lists......

 

[Da IllFellaz]

i think there is just way too many to have a top ten......

and also, you gotta expand to just more than just hip hop if you gon say producer...... (Quincy Jones, Rick Rubin....)

 

[LDB]

I gotta go with producers that were responsible for a sound....

Teddy Riley-New Jack Swing

Dre-G Funk

Uncle Luke-That Miami freak show bass

Swizz Beatz-Ruff Ryder shit

DJ Premier-Boom Bap Master

J Dilla-That Jazzalicious funked out hip hop (many try to imitate this dude but can't imo)

Lil Jon-The King of Crunk... a party ain't a party without one crunk set.

DJ Screw-The God father of that Texas sloooooooow chop'd n Screwd shhhh

Rico Wade and the Dungeon Family-Responsible for putting out southern hits that even made up north cats take note of the south.

Master P- If this dude hadn't came on the scene N.O would still be only recognized for getchy women with funny colored eyes that would still your soul....lmao I'm tell u right now...don't look them straight in the eyes....lol

honorable mention: Brian Michael Cox (I love this dudes RnB joints) since he's really not a OUT THERE IN YA FACE producer he gets slept own I feel. Puffy uses this dude on everrry thang and do many others. You're almost guaranteed a hit if you hire this dude. He's knows the melody's that evoke emotion.

[ABB]

None of you listed Madlib (??!?!?!)


Probably the most innovative loop digger in my opinion.

In fact, i prefer Madvillain over Dangerdoom any day.

 

[Shonsteez]

Madlib is tight but when I think of cats I was influenced by growing up he aint really one of em unless you include his Lootpack days.....

For me KMD/MF Doom was more of an influence in my early years over Madlib.

*Madlib seemed to kinda re-blow up after he went solo later on and started making a name for himself as an individual but theres a slight generational leap that occurs there as well cuz a lot of younger cats now all praise Madlib for his stuff more and more then back in the day during his Lootpack years.

 

[slik da relic]

1st time ive ever saw Mantronik on ANYBODY'S list... he's one of the peeps that influenced me on my myspace page,... i know most are too young to know about him...also, dont sleep on Kurtis Blow... he did "Fat Boys" and "Can You Feel IT" for them... it truly holds up to 2days standard... he had put melodies and hooks in music way b4 Dre did, even though Dre gets alot of credit for it.

my list aint long:

Blow
Marly
Mantronik
Preemo
RZA

by time RZA came out i was pretty much set in my style, but he was still hot!
