pharrell
kanye gave us a few great albums
dre gave us eras of great music; eras, muthafukkas!
timberland gave us an endless amount of great music from workin' with a wide range of artists
pharrell gave us some moments but compared to those other guys, he don't compare
I wanna say Tim buy can't click the vote button. It's him or Ye though
You gon ignore Blueprint,Kanye pushing his own career,revitalizing Commons career and Twista?
And no I'm not a Kanye stan,but its almost a insult at least based on my own personal taste that Pharell is even in this discussion in regards to hiphop,when I think timeless beats Pharell name don't come up....I know producers do more than that,but being that all parties involved do it all,you gotta weed out the person with the weakest instrumentals....Pharell don't belong here,I don't care how much you nikkas and the media try to force his "genius" on me
.,he's overated as shyt.
Really Dre is in a class by himself on this list in terms of hiphop,but Timbaland is on the RNB side....Kanye has produced some crazy shyt that Pharell could never match,its actually disgusting to see Pharell on this list if you want my honest opinion....he makes good pop beats for when rappers wanna crossover? So what,most of it ages like shyt vs wine
I do gotta give him credit for Twista. I guess Common as well...even though I think Common could of made a comeback without him. Nevertheless he gets due for that.
He did produce the best shyt from Blueprint but Jay was a proven commodity that didn't need help in his career at that point.
And pushing himself as an artist...well okay that's great and all but whose to say/know if the production he made for himself would of catapulted someone else if they were to use those beats.
As an overall artist in which he is, he has influenced many up and comers. No doubt about that!!
As for Pharrell...they may not be timeless to you but his category speaks for itself. He put on and revitalized more careers than Kanye and has influenced many other producers with his sound.
Revitalized careers of Snoop, Busta, Mystikal and made fukking N.O.R.E. a mainstream success. Put Clipse, Kelis, Slim Thug, Robin Thicke on the map. That's plenty more artists than Ye.
Here is my thing...personally I'm basing this based on which producer has put on more artist or revitalized careers. Also which producer has influenced others with their sound. Not who has the best body of work. Kanye hasn't done those things compare to the other three imo
....Also I don't like your method as far as what your basing it on....Because like I say,you gotta give credit to Pharell credit for being a guy who has a thing for making pop hits that crossover for hiphop artist,you could probably give him credit for Beenie Man too.....BUT everybody in this category has done that,and Dre and Kanye have done it moreso with staying in the roots of hiphop....Plus when you talk putting on more artist,is Pharell putting on artist or revitalizing careers,or simply giving them a pop hit? That's not really contributing to a classic body of work.
,I'd definitely say two albums that were not only superior but better produced,and way more successful to Hell Hath No Fury would be Shynes debut,along with Jeezys debut....Don't really think theres any argument against this.
? Nah homie,I need you to rethink this one
[
If you reluctant to give Kanye credit for Common,you gotta take Snoop off Pharells list,"revitalized" Snoops career is a strong word
Pharells biggest claim to a classic body of work is HEll Hath No Fury,which personally I think is overated.....If we talking albums from newcomers that were entirely about crack
You cant just look at hits because Pharell might be superior in regards to giving you a crossover pop hit than anybody on this list,he's built great for pop....But he just simply cant stand toe to toe with any great hiphop producer imo....we not gon give Kanye credit for songs like Scarface "Guess Whos Back" or Beans classic "Nothing Like It",Camron "Down and Out"?Simply because they wasn't as big as "Pass the Couversie"
If we REALLY talkin bodys of work Pharell will look like a laughing stock next to everybody else mentioned here,beat for beat,song for song Pharell is outclassed....I argue that you are ignoring the body of work with your criteria....Busta,Snoop and Kelis also just to note still had hits well before Pharell,and still had big hits after that Pharell wasn't responbsible for....they are hitmakers in they own right.
....That alone gets more credit than giving a few pop hits to some people who mostly were already stars doesn't it?
?But as long as you give Kanye credit for having a better body of work overall,guess theres really no argument.
....Take that into account,along with the fact he's produced more FULL classic bodys of work,and not just gave artist singles,plus comparing the quality of the beats and the songs themselves both have produced,gotta give it to Kanye....even by your own criteria you pretty much have to give it to Kanye,unless you really putting that much stock into these singles Pharell produced.
