Best Hip-Hop Producer

RZA, Premo, Abilities, Ant, Odd Nosdam, Jel lots....

Style, unique, no best.

I actually don't like Ant. I feel almost as if he keeps me from enjoying Atmosphere, because I think Slug is good but the production is often off. He's definitely produced some great stuff, but I don't like a large portion of his work for some reason. I think his style worked better with Brother Ali on Shadows on the Sun then on most Atmosphere stuff.
 
OK. first off the best producer ever to live is Kanye West.
ask Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, T.I., Kid Cudi, Eminem, Rick Ross, this question and they will say yezzy
Kanye not only had produced songs on virtually every significant album of the past 5 years.
He has evolved rap from lyrics behind a beat, to lyrics behind original and creative musical genius. listen to his new CD and you will understand what this man knows musically is insane.

show me a producer witha resume better than this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanye_West_production_discography

when kayne dies he will go down as one of the best musicians to ever live.

Secondly im offended shawty redd, bagladesh, NO i.d. Pharrell, and Chuck Ingish were not mentioned here.
you all mentioned some wack generic producers.
You guys really need to brush up on your gameee.

Generic as in appealing to a general audience. Maybe the wrong use of the word?

I mean being a mainstream artist doesn't automatically make him shit, it's just there's so many top-class producers that are slept on in their shadows it makes me wanna periodically defecate on the C.E.Os of big music corporations.
 
@KingBlueTwista. In what ways is he generic? Everything he makes is creative and originaly his own. you have to admit that he make music that sounds like nothing else.

There are a ton of producers who use that "high pitch/sped up voice" technique.
 
yeah, because it sounds good! if it ain't broke don't fix it. nothing is original.

madlib's meh. always liked his brother more.
 
It sounds shite and is skill-less. It's just a dull, uncreative way to shift volumes to the drones.

Reminds me of this line from an Immortal Technique song - 'cause if you go platinum, it's got nothin to do with luck it just means that a million people are stupid as fuck'.
 
@Max Power, have you ever listened to college dropput, or the new CD MBDTF? because if you just hear Kanye's production form the singles, of corse you think there mainstream and generic, there mainstream becuase everyone fucking likes them, and they have become generic becuase everyone trys to be him. G.O.O.D. music is the future.
I still stick to my show me a better resume than kanyes reasoning?
Oh and there this

KamMoye; I do need a better sound system tbf, I'm bumpin this from a latpop dude, but still it just don't float my boat.

StictlyBusiness; Come on dude what is that supposed to evoke in my head?!
Lyrical quote from that Kanye song -
'At the end of day, goddammit, I’m killin’ this sh-t
I know damn well y’all feelin’ this sh-t
I don’t need yo’ p-ssy, bitch, I’m on my own d-ck
I ain’t gotta power trip, who you goin’ home with?'

What the fuck is deep about that song? Zilcho. You got your definitions mixed up son.
You want something to stretch your neurotransmitters try and comprehend this song - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iUWGhnqBxM.

Or a real expression of emotion, you can almost feel the depths in the pictures he paints - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LxWy62TfM8.

Now come back and tell me your shits deep.
 
lyrically kanye is (usually) wack, i'll give you that. he's especially full of himself recently. fwiw i think his new album is terrible.

but as a whole, it's hard for you to come off like this hip-hop god when ur so intolerant

i've heard it all before, and ime what stands the test of time is not the lyrics but the music.

beat first, flow second, lyrics last. my two cents
 
@KingBlueTwista
in the same song,
"My childlike creativity, purity and honesty
Is honestly being prodded by these grown thoughts
Reality is catchin’ up with me
Takin’ my inner child, I’m fighting for it, custody
With these responsibilities that they entrusted me
As I look down at my dia-mond-encrusted piece
Nigga, no one man should have all that power
The clock’s tickin’, I just count the hours
Stop trippin’, I’m trippin’ off the powder
‘Til then, fuck that, the World’s ours"


stop taking lyrics at face value man......

The Blame Game
Kanye West
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
2010

Things used to be, now they not
Anything but us is who we are
Disguising ourselves as secret lovers
We've become public enemies
We walk away like strangers in the street
Gone for eternity
We erased one another
So far from where we came
With so much of everything, how do we leave with nothing
Lack of visual empathy equates the meaning of L-O-V-E
Hatred and attitude tear us entirely


Dark Fantay
Same Album Same Year

Look like a fat booty Celine Dion
sex is on fire, I’m the King of Leon-a Lewis
beyond the truest
hey, teacher, teacher
tell me how do you respawn the students?
and refresh the page and restart the memory?
respark the soul and rebuild the energy?
we stopped the ignorance, we killed the enemies
sorry for the night demons still visit me
the plan was to drink until the pain over
but what’s worse, the pain or the hangover?
fresh air, rolling down the window
too many Urkels on your team, that’s why your wins low
don’t make me pull the toys out, huh
don’t make me pull the toys
and fire up the engines
and then they make noooise

fucking poetry man.


oh and rolling stone gave this album a five start rating
