That's dope that you mentioned Dawaun Parker. Not many people know about him.

 

Mar 22, 2015

Are you joking?

He produced with NWA made doggystyle the chronic, 2001 went on to produce for Eminem gave 50 classic hits and for Game and eveeything else he done since and inbetwee. Dre is without a doubt the number one hiphop producer of all time. Ask any producer you want who knows there s--- they will tell u they cant match him

 

Mar 22, 2015

i will go ahead and ask all of my producer friends

 

Mar 22, 2015

Nice

 

Mar 22, 2015

Just because you're not feeling them doesn't discredit them from being some of the all time best producers.

 

Mar 22, 2015

The people offended by Noah "40" Shebib not being ALL TIME top 10 is not warranted.

40 is a great producer, but he is not all time top 10 yet.

 

Mar 22, 2015

Yeah no I'm not saying that at all, it's just that there's literally hundreds of producers (including 40) whom you can make a good case for being top 10, and ones that I don't feel aren't going to make the cut for me

 

Mar 22, 2015

rza
dilla
kanye
just blaze
quik
pete rock
premier
madlib
mannie fresh
p---- c

no order except for #1

 

Mar 22, 2015

Fair enough, if you're basing it off preference that's fine.

 

Mar 22, 2015

I feel like once you make a top "x" list it becomes mostly preference, like you have a collective pool of a couple hundred producers from Ye to Statik that are obviously technically great, and then it comes down to a mix of personal preference and overall acknowledgement by the community

 

Mar 22, 2015

If I had more room, I would definitely like to add Quik and Mannie to my list.

I thought about adding Kanye (and I easily could have), but I felt with him still currently and actively making music he will get to the top 10 when it's all said and done.

 

Mar 22, 2015

are you f---ing serious

in all of hip-hop history

there are only five producers whose work has surpassed that of sounwave

jesus christ i quit this forum

 

Mar 22, 2015

My list was based off actual discography and facts. You can go back to any of those guys and see the impact they had on hip-hop.

 

Mar 22, 2015

No there isnt, i mean you can have personal favourites but there isnt hundreds of producers that could be considered as top 10 hiphop producers without leaving out legends and who are widely acknowledged as being in that spot

 

Mar 22, 2015

Breh iv just joined recently from the coli this thread is killing me

 

Mar 22, 2015

are you f---ing kidding me

 

Mar 22, 2015

LMAO! Dude said Jungle Beats.

It's Jahlil Beats.

 

Mar 22, 2015

Impact and influence doesn't necessarily mean good music, otherwise the first rap groups from the 80s would be considered hands down best rappers ever. And if you're basing it off of facts then shouldn't it be the producers with most accolades ? Your list isn't bad at all but don't pass it off as the perfect one

Also, acknowledged=/=great

Krispy Kreme (the rapper) is more well known by kids these days than Rakim... Is he better?

The obvious answer is no, and this train of thought often rears it's ugly head in forums where people hivemind around certain artists because the logic becoma "I like him, and they like him, he must be universally liked!"

I would make the case that Hudson Mohawke is better than anyone mentioned in this thread and there would be no legitimate way of measuring wether I was correct or not. When guys like most of yall itt say "best", y'all really should be saying "most acknowledged by the hip hop community", because you're just combining personal preference with other people's preference to come to a general consensus that doesn't necessarily reflect the skill pool of hip hop

 

Mar 22, 2015

in no particular order

RZA
Preemo
Dre
Kanye
Pete Rock
Exile
Large Professor
Easy Mo B
Stoupe of JMT
DJ Quik

 

Mar 22, 2015

Not saying my list is perfect at all. I'm just saying you can't discredit any of the producers' work on my list.
