Favorite Hip-Hop Producer

[superichie]

Who is your favorite hip hop producer?

[MattDennis]

DJ Premier should be on the list. That is why my vote goes to "other."

[kazuma_ootaro28]

J Dilla is the first one that comes to mind. Agreed with DJ Premier as well.

[briewer]

Madlib or the late, great J-Dilla. Out of those listed, though, definitely Pharrell. His work on Hell Hath No Fury is otherworldly.

[voncorn]

The Bomb Squad

[Indoor Living]

I don't really know enough about rap to judge production, but I really like Dre's stuff. I'm sure there's tons I don't know.

[Five-Star]

Mr West

[Undue Noise]

Out of the list, Pharrell/Neptunes.

[Croggs]

My guess is dre/kanye will win based on familiarity of the name. I think Timbaland is the man though.

[WhoSaidThat?]

I went with the good doctor.

[superichie]

DJ Premier should be on the list. That is why my vote goes to "other."

Yeah I contemplated adding Premier, but I figured only 1 or 2 people would probably vote for him considering the other options.

I duno dude, the man is a legend. If people don't know who he is they clearly haven't read up on their hip-hop history. Other than Dre I don't think anyone on this list has had as much influence within the genre.

Oh I agree with you. I just doubt many AP.net readers realize that.

[MattDennis]

I'm somewhat of an old school elitist so my opinions on this genre are just a tad bias. But yeah you're prolly right.

Kanye west is a little bitch who thinks he's a genius. He is wahats wrong with the whole auto-tune generation.

He's what's wrong with the auto-tune generation? The auto-tune generation is what's wrong with the auto-tune generation. In the sense of using it as a voice effect as opposed to a pitch corrector.

Kanye is a great producer. He took sampling to a new level and has a very unique and distinct style on all of his records. Him, Pharrel, and Dr. Dre are my favorites on this list.

Really? I can't think of one thing he has done for sampling that hasn't already been done by better producers before him. Don't get me wrong, he's good...but he really hasn't done anything revolutionary with his production.

[futilespider]

idk any of them....but timbaland is referenced in a weezer song. so i went with him. haha.

[atoms]

i love pharrell, but kanye get's it.

[AussieBoy]

other: P-Money from NZ

[cburton92]

Dre.

[shoop]

dj paul!

[seraph1214]

Premier, Pete Rock & Dilla come to mind as my favorites. Out of the ones on the list I'd go with the Neptunes though. Dre's a good pick too.

[|adr3naLine|]

Don't know enough about this genre to really make a good educated vote, but I went with Kanye based on the fact that it seems like he's behind a ton of songs that I like.

[chriseto]

Swizz Beatz

[dat scene kid]

9th Wonder is hands down my favorite producer.

Kanye has done some sick shit though

[Hull]

By "other" I mean a genre of actual music.

Wow, you are messed up.

yup

Kanye West has actually apologized for his attitude, recently. He admits that he was, in his words, a "spoiled brat".

[MattDennis]

Another favorite of mine left out/not mentioned is Large Professor. Easily in my top 5.

[texasisbrendan]

Dre Dre Dre

he still has a long way too go, but could happen.
