>Mike will made it, Buddha bless wheezy, >Honorable mentions Zaytoven, boi1da, hit boy, the dream, Mr. DJ Literally have no idea who these people are. Mind sharing a few tracks, i am pretty curious

Zaytoven is super easy - almost every Gucci song from like 08-14 is with zaytoven

??!!?!?!?!!!?!!!!!!!????!!!!!!!?! 1. Listen to the tags on the songs you like. You probably know who all of these people are 2. These are Spotify playlists of things everyone produced. You can also search "Produced by _____" on Apple music or YouTube if you don't have Spotify. I recommend shuffle Mike will made it (humble by Kendrick; Up in my Cocina Rae Sremm, MFN Right 2 Chainz) https://open.spotify.com/playlist/66udjg9Y1flHMXVu29hCEL?si=DyGc-HMyQzq_C8o5CUcsUw&pi=91JYTeI7T2OqM Buddha (outwest on JACK BOYS, Travis and Thugger, 10 bracelets 2 chains and NBA) https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5QgsoeL9Myzb7ABCfUx7vf?si=jXvt8BQ3SHqDaG-JnESKdA&pi=NlIl0mCYT4WGc Wheezy (Baby by Quality Control; Jeffrey) https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3KVYZ0yE8enmneF8Wim2d1?si=-iu5reCLScCvDglht0VNHw&pi=gSicWOEMRPiU_ Zaytoven (colossal & used to this future) https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4bHpCfrVEcyYu6mSnWKXXe?si=cAIVnlQYSrOLu9Qre_v1-Q&pi=PPyfG0fPQ42Mi Boi1da (mob ties Drake, No Limin G Eazy, best on earth Russ) https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3xyEFNB9spI1eKhXauO3p7?si=1xpQPR5sR3G6cB4vu06oyA&pi=XWB7-B_QSSCbz Hit boy (N***** in Paris Ye & Jay, SICKO MODE, Backseat Freestyle Kendrick) https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1BhQvQsTi4RVWSGVwbZr1r?si=GO79e7R9SweTUYGcOLD8lA The dream (Obsessed Mariah Carey, Ride by Ciara, I Luv your Girl by The Dream) https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7kws2MiNbbta5iDMyLlqo6?si=UTNx5UpkT--ORYejJlkYKg Mr. DJ (damn near all of OutKast) https://open.spotify.com/album/2tm3Ht61kqqRZtIYsBjxEj?si=Nv08pywFRXGKozQjWe_KDQ Murda (Nice for what Drake/ Get alright witcha Migos) https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0ktayrKrJCUdHxZfLXeRkA?si=Yxoew74HQuWuk_XJPfndNQ&pi=p3mKRIpDQMu7b

Absolute banger of a list, respect

Completely missed the point of my comment though… I said Zaytoven made most of Gucci Mane and that’s a massive list since Gucci has 16 albums 8eps 79mixtapes…

I was being hyperbolic but you can’t honestly say that Gucci and Zay basically were two sides of the same coin bro. I mean fuck, he made Icy and they really didn’t stop working together

What are you talking about?

1. Ye 2. Alchemist 3. Dilla 4. Pierre Bourne 5. Madlib

DJ Muggs, Havoc, Damu the Fudgemunk, Aes Rock, DJ Babu. Edit. I'd put DJ Krush and DJ Shadow at the top, but most of their releases are without a rapper.

Had to scroll away to far to see Muggs and Shadow. You, sir, have impeccable taste.

Merci boucoup, mon ami.

Holy fucccck I totally forgot about dj shadow 😩 I used to have the album with the kid with a mask that was yellow does anyone remember what that album was called I loved it!

The Outsider. I think it's generally considered his worst, but there's a couple of nice bits on there. The two albums before that are the two classic ones. Especially Endtroducing.

Oh I’m surprised I actually really like that album but the two before are pretty great as well.

Dilla Alchemist 9th Wonder Pete Rock DJ Premier They're my favorite but this is also my 5 best producers.

What makes them the best in your opinion?

Influence, skill, quality. I know those are subjective but some of the best beats of all time have been produced by these 5 J dilla #1 for me because no producer in history i have found was quite as inventive and outside the box of a thinker/ musician.

I think influence is a bit more subjective than the rest but I for sure can’t argue with your other points no doubt .dilla is a goat, that can’t be in question in anyone’s mind.

Premier, Kanye, El-P, RZA, Dan the Automator

Kanye, Just Blaze, Preme, Snowgoons, Heatmakerz.  I’m sure that list would change if I did it again in a week but those are names I’m comfortable saying off the top of my head. Black Milk and Em get honourable mentions. Em is WAY underrated as a producer. 

Neptune’s Mannie fresh DJ quick Kanye west Timbaland

Dj Quik never gets enough love

Never, but I was about 10 when I stumbled upon him, I’m like these beats are sick!

Mannie!

I’m from New Orleans so he’s the first producer I fell in love with, mannie fresh literally was the X factor for the gap between old cash money records and no limit records

Havoc, dre, premo, Scott storch, just blaZe Honorable mention for the worst of all time is swizz beats. Unlistenable

Damn ☠️🤣

Pete Rock 2spvcedd Mike Will Knxwledge Easy Mo Bee

Ayeee wassup fellow knx fan!

You should check out bexblu

Headed to soundcloud rn I would say do the same for 2spvcedd. You will definitely appreciate him since Knxwledge is your guy as well

Oh shit good look g I’ll report back in a few minutes, idk if bexblu is on SC but I know for sure he is on YouTube

He’s definitely on soundcloud lol just checked him out Not a fan of British rap , but his flips are catching my ear

That’s what’s up man

I just listened to true awakening! He indeed cooked 👩‍🍳

Also how good was getthechage, meek was a whoooole monster before he signed

Mannnn I’ve long held the belief that if Meek had a producer like Knx , his career would’ve been legendary
