yall give the doctor WAY WAY WAY WAY too much credit, he actually doesn't even compose his own beats... he has other people get the melodies and sh*t down and then he just picks the instruments....

 

[the_pestilence]

JJ brown is another beast that doesn't get his props.

Danja is always credited with "Co-producin" Timbo's beats (most of them the hit songs). I still think Timbo is one of the best, same with the Doc.

Hi-Tek</div> Id take out Scott Storch (dont really give him credit for Chris Brown's album, it wasnt THAT big) and replace him with Jermaine Dupri, hes been under the radar for a while, but hes pretty decent.

 

[l?ckdown]

scott storch's earlier work was sick, but his newer beats like You ain't know and even make it rain I didn't like 2 much. Also gotta give it to The Runners. I have liked pretty much most of their tracks. They did Go Getta, and also Dreamin. I like the slowdown style they did with where the cash at as well.

[Memphology]

No DJ Paul in any of yalls list....he created crunk, the beginnings of chopped-n-screwed...plus hes just got some awesome beats(you have to go way back, dont look at the MTV songs)

 

[l?ckdown]

ummm. chopped and Screwed was created by Dj Screw (hence the screwed in the name).

 

[Memphology]

Nope, it was popularized by DJ Screw...DJ Screw has said in a documentory about south hip-hop that the earliet chopped-n-screwed was started by Backyard Posse(pre-Three 6 Mafia)...which DJ Paul did....DJ Screw made it popular and honed it to make it sound better...

I wonder why it is that there's a ton of different tastes when people name their favorite musician, or even favorite musician in a specific genre, but when it comes to best producers everybody picks the same people.

And half of the people probably dont even know much about the music industry...If your a south rap fan, DJ Paul should be easily in top 5...his sound has pretty much spread throughout the south and gave the south its signature...

[Memphology]

People dont realize what hes done for the south rap scene...but okay <_<Memphis is always the underdog/nonrecognized...why change now?

I might think Rick Ross is the best just cause hes from Miami and his stuff is constantly on the radio, same case.Don't get me wrong, I love some of the work hes done but that doesn't compare to the work RZA, Premier, Q-Tip, Pete Rock <--- can't believe not a single person put him btw.Hes up with the best of them but I don't think hes done work like those producers have ^.

 

[Memphology]

Besides Oakland, I dont know many rap scenes or people from other places besides the south like any underground south rap...And im talking real underground...which Memphis has almost strictly stayed as...
