Babyface is the greatest music producer of all time?

[Dynamite James]

You can’t even listen to the radio now cause r Kelly wrote damn near everything.

 

[The_Sheff]

Take a listen to the music behind them Quincy tracks bruh. You hear things in those tracks you never noticed for years.

And don’t sleep on Gamble and Huff. I put them above babyface too.

The thing is Babyface made hits without LA.
I'm not knocking his contributions, but it is what it is

Babyface didn‘t make a lot of hits without L.A., especially as a producer.
Face is much better with words than music.

So if the question at hand is Best Producers, L.A. should get the mention before Face.

Um yeah. I have looked at both their discos. Dre had his moment. But Kanye’s is of equal quality, far more variety, and pushes more boundaries. Far more people have listened to and enjoy Kanye’s production than Dre’s.

Nah.

ppl never notice wha dre doesnt have a signature sound...



techno hop was big on the west... dre does his variation of it with the wrecking cru

when nwa formed.. he did his best impersonation of the bomb squad

above the law came in the picture... he tinkled with the g-funk sound on doc's album...


mastered it with the last nwa and snoop album...

sam sneed came into the picture...his final days on death row til the first aftermath album...been there done that...


mr porter mel man n the bass brothers came in the picture.. he soaked them up for his aftermath start..

he bundled everything up added scott storch and dj quik sound for what we have today

Good point
Dr Dre is kinda like Rogue from X Men

Quincy laughed at a lot of people and clowned them. That ain’t saying much.

Yea it is. He ain't clown Babyface or Dre. And talking bout Hip Hop producers he adores RZA. c00nye not on their level.

Yup Kanye was a dope beat maker, but his "production" started to get better when he hooked up with other producers

 

[chineebai]

You always knew when a song was made by Babyface

Quincy Jones laughed at c00nye and clowned him. Stop it with the bullshyt. Them nikkas on a different level.

It's amazing the amount of misinformation people put out into the world.

Quincy Jones: ‘I Have Nothing But Respect’ for Kanye West

<p>After being quoted calling Kanye West "just a rapper," Quincy Jones now says his comments were taken "out of context" and explains how he really feels about the "Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" creator.</p>

Misinformation my ass...

“Did he write for a symphony orchestra? Does he write for a jazz orchestra? Come on, man. He’s just a rapper. There’s no comparison…I spent 28 years learning my first skill"

^^^ those were his original statements. He only took them back after c00nye feminine stans and the media gave him heat for it.

Do you know they stopped working together in 1993?

 

[Taadow]

Do you know they stopped working together in 1993?

Yes. I also know why.

Now ask yourself:

- Do you realize how many hits they made together before 1993 for them to still be in the conversation?

- How many straight up knocks has Babyface produced after that by himself?
