Herbie Luv bug....
Dude...lets be a lil realistic for a second. In the 80's wasnt really no one paying attention to the producer like that. For the most part we were under the impression that the dj made the beats. So in the 80's one might say Eric B was a super producer. And lets keep it real, Eric B was more popular then Herbie Luvbug. Herbie is all in the background in the Push It video while around that same time Marly Marl is the center of the Symphony video. Marlys name was bigger then herbie come on man stop it. Roxannes Revenge was 85. Thats when we all first saw Marlys face. Marly had a hit with a female rapper way before Herbie figured out what to do with salt n pepa. That same year in 85 u really had to be in the know to even care that the white guy in Krush Groove prodcued LL's first album. By 1988 Marly marl had his album popping and Kanes 1st album popping while Rakim, G Rap, Heavy D, MC Shan, were also under his belt.....neither Herbie, Larry or Rick was fukking with Marly in 88. None of them had their own album with hit songs. That alone put Marly in a whole different category. And we didnt even go into Intelligent Hoodlum, master Ace and LL's comeback album. Rick Ruben might have produced LL's 1st album but Marly produced LL's best album.
it doesn't matter when people took notice to rick rubin. youre proving my point actually. the bottom line is that he has been unofficially written into the history books as the 1st rap super-producer.
herbie luv bug had bigger acts & a way bigger selection of hits than marley marl and he was before marley marl, aside from that Roxanne shante video where he was in the background spinning records. are you really gonna sit up here and act like he got more shine for standing in the background of an virtual underground video than herbie being on the mic in one of the biggest rap hits ever?
and youre contradicting yourself by bringing up Marley's work with eric b & rakim.

I'm not finished. these servers are unacceptable.
