List your top 10 producers of all time.

Same point system.

#1 on your list gets 10 points, #2 gets 9 points, with #10 getting 1 point.

I'll accumulate all the points once we get a good amount of entries (please, take your time. If you like a producer a lot but feel he doesn't deserve a spot then it's best you not add him to your list)

At the end we'll have our own list of the forum's top 25 producers of all time.

Quick question: Are we allowed to take into account tracks produced outside of the genre when making our decision, or is it strictly Hip Hop?

Yes you can

Honorable Mention: Cardiak even though his beats sound alike, his music is different and nice imo

[ProdigalGe0]

I wish Em would produce way more so he'd get more recognition but it seems like his beats just fit his style best which is why I wouldn't consider him a top 10 producer.

This...however a beat is good also if the rapper on it make it seem good...thats why i put him on (if that makes sense). I also liked some of his other beats with Yelawolf and SH

Yeah, the majority on here agreed that SH sucked on Asylum but Em's beat was very good.

[Solace]

I wonder if Hopsin is gonna end up in the top 25 here too :hah:

[PAINKILLƎR]

lets get some more lists going fam

[PAINKILLƎR]

lets get some more lists going fam

I've got you, my man

1. DJ Premier (Incredibly consistent; superb sample selections, sexy scratch hooks. The man.)
2. Ant (Some of my favourite beats of all time have been produced by Ant; incredibly versatile, and far from a one trick pony when it comes to beat making.)
3. Dr. Dre (I actually wasn't going to put him this high, but after reflecting on it, I can't deny his body of work.)
4. J Dilla (Jay Dee, the man. Rest in Peace, incredibly unique talent.)
5. 9th Wonder (Stays in his lane, but really good at what he does.)
6. Kanye West (Can't deny his talent. Tremendous sample selection, along with some of the genre's most iconic beats under his belt.)
7. Exile (Probably the least acclaimed name on my list, but his body of work is excellent and up there with the best.)
8. The Alchemist (Mixes things up really well, yet doesn't over-complicate things. Consistently dope.)
9. Pete Rock (Iconic beats under his belt, that have stood the test of time.)
10. Buckwild (Distinct, distinguishably dope.)

fantastic selection

can't believe I totally forgot about Ant and 9th Wonder.
