Top 5 at least...nigga was a genius

top 25ish

but my top producers is biased toward sample based dudes

but i'd put him in top 5 of keyboard beat dudes

i mean who all is there? him, pharrell, timbaland, bangladesh, lil john lol.

who else is even worth mentioning?

i'd put it

timbo, bangladesh, pharrell, lil john, mannie

pharell is probably better than bangladesh on paper. but bangladesh got dem 808's and bangersssssssss

The Neptunes did the first two Clipse albums, though.

word. grindin is all that comes to mind when i think pharrell tho. all the other beats are topnotch, nhe's real technical. but i dunno i wouldnt put him over timbo or bangladesh. but thats personal preference. only timbo is probably better technically/whatever from the keyboard dudes i named, and thats debateable.

pharrell is a beast. like common is a beast. but i dont bump there shit like that. if that makes sense

Araabmuzik>all

I personally like alchemist since day one.

Drama is another producer im diggin.

Manny is responsible for the entire cash money sound.

Prolly the best thing to come out of cmb.

This ^

I bump Clipse a lot. Timbaland definitely is the king of the keyboard/synth beats, though. Don't sleep on Organized Noize.

To me, all time producers, the top tier (in no order) is Kanye West, DJ Premier, Dr. Dre, RZA and Timbaland. That's your top five ever. There's always someone around to hate on Kanye, but he's earned that at this point. He's taken rap production to new levels of depth.

And Timbaland is the king of the single and played a big role in turning rap production into the main form of pop music.

I don't think I have to defend DJ Premier or Dr. Dre or RZA, right? In like 2000, they were the unquestionably top three all time. Now I think you have to add in Kanye and Timbaland, though.

Mannie Fresh produced ENTIRE albums in his hey day. And not just one or 2 but like 20 entire albums and some how have most of those beats different sounds. And have you ever heard "Mind of Mannie Fresh"? That album has some classic production sound on it.

His penacle was definitely Lil Wayne's "Tha Carter" and would have been "Tha Carter 2" but that's when CMB and Mannie had their falling out. On top of that, dudes a legit DJ. He actually hits up some of the clubs out here just to DJ and put on a show!

Everyone used to do that all the time.

Nah B. Like for every artist on that label.. And multiple albums from each artists.

top 20

alchemist deserves top 15 also

My personal favorite mannie fresh production ....

I'd bet DJ Premier has as many or almost as many full albums to his name. Plus, with the keyboard-heavy, Southern flavor that Manny Fresh made it big on, it's a lot easier than with sample-heavy beats that were more distinctive like what Premier made his name on.

beats is hard to make in general

uhoh know what i mean, mannie was prob one of the most original southern producers there tbh. he didn't make trap shit but southern grinding shit

No love for no I.d ? Mr porter? Rick Rubin? Easy mo bee? Yall prob don't realise he produced much of the early bad boy stuff including ready to die

The beat nuts ... the hitmen ... scott storch... track masters


Manny would be in top 50 but know were near top 25 though ...

^^i think alchemist is top 10 easy imo; possibly interchangeable with Kanye

pretty much my thoughts exactly...and im sure we all left out producers that deserve mention b4 Fresh, although Fresh was dope in his own right...

Good looks mr porter is dope.

Was dj clue a producer? Did he produce his beats?

Warran g is another that comes to mind

Regulators...mount up
