Nobody really understands that shit either. I'll try to explain the difference between Ye, Dre, and Timbaland and Primo. I'm like... "THEM MOTHER FUCKERS DON'T NEED NOBODY".
Primo been lacing a 4 bar loop for 3-4 minutes with no switch ups besides drums and cuts since 91. LMFAO Da gawd.
Meanwhile, Timbo can make any type of beat: east, west, southern, and do all the melodies himself. Plus dude can literally beat box the bass line and drums half the time like it's nothing. He's done R&B albums. Done rap records. He is literally the swiss army knife of producing, but NOBODY throws him in their top 5 producers. It's crazy to me.
Then look at RZA. That boy essentially spent the first 10 years of his production career making simple boom bap beats with eery strings and muddy ass sound quality and created gold. THEN he goes on to do film scores and starts making beats with symphonies and shit. Did a fucking rock album and shit.
Like... people don't recognize the difference between TRUE talent and just having a good ear. Dre and Kanye have great ears. They can put people in different positions to succeed.
Whereas, someone who can do everything on their own gets less recognition.
Crazy.
Can't argue the numbers tho. Dre and Kanye records sold >>>>>> timbo and primo.
