hip hop it would be Storch and Lil Jon

10/23/2005 3:12:17 PM

Yeah, for this I should have specified that I meant hiphop.

And I'm not saying necessarily who you think is the best, just who your personal favorites are to listen to.

Dr. Dre
Pharrell and the Neptunes

and... Kanye West

10/23/2005 4:26:07 PM

Pharell & Timba

Kanye is too predictable

10/23/2005 4:37:26 PM

I don't really like Pharell's hip hop stuff, he does better RnBish stuff. Drop it like it's hot was some of the single worst production I've seen next to that "Run girl" song.

-Boot Camp used to have som hella tight production, I'm thinking of Heltah Skeltah - Nocturnal specifically (produced by BuckShot?)
-Necro (really stupid songs, but he is a good producer)
-Boards of Canada (not hiphop I know)

I totally forgot 9th Wonder.

and I have LOVED Madlib before. . .but he has let me down quite a bit too.

10/27/2005 12:53:56 PM

you totally forgot 9th Wonder because for the most part unfortunately, his production is totally forgettable...It seems like he tries to capture the esscense of Pete Rock...but he does have some headnodders definately

As for my favorites, in no particular order
