Erick Sermon was great within his era, when just grabbing a funk sample was enough. EPMD was two mediocre rappers making great tracks because of fat funk beats. Then he got Redman, an actual great rapper, and took off.
Pete Rock is like the underachiever of rap producers. For one, CL Smooth was kind of shitty most of the time. Then on top of that, Pete Rock always dropped that one great beat but then like eight normal ones.
