He has admitted it in an interview though lol.Yet he still won a Grammy in 2021 for being the only producer of The Stokes album "The New Abnormal." Started in 1984, won a Grammy in 2021. That's 37 years, longer then any other Hip Hop producer you can name with merit on paper, so my comment still stands. Rick is the top producer with the longest longevity. You say he has no technical talent but he won a Grammy 4 years ago for being a producer. So who am I going to believe?
Is Pharrell number one for longevity as a top producer in the game?

Sorry bro but that dance music he did for the b-b-boys and his score music sound just like his other beats. He is not the dude when we talking. Range preemo has more range. Preemo did a whole pop album with Christina
This weirdo still trying to push geriatric CAC in here...Yet he still won a Grammy in 2021 for being the only producer of The Stokes album "The New Abnormal." Started in 1984, won a Grammy in 2021.

Look Missy is super creative and obviously very talented. She earned the respect industry and deserves her flowers, Timbo is widely recognised as one of the best producer's in the game but it's debatable as to whether he has a classic hip hop album solely produced by himself.
I just view Supa Dupa Fly as more a mix of Hip Hop, R&B & Pop mainstream. Missy's appeal was very broad she did this well. So while I don't think it's a stretch to call Supa Dupa Fly a classic I just wouldn't put in the same category as illmatic, liquid swords, infamous etc. Thats just me.
Post the interview.
The answer is clearly Dr Dre. He's made classic music in every decade since the 80's.
That recent Marsha Ambrosious album was fire.

Breh, every album you named is a NY album from the same era. Of course, it doesn't fit in with Illmatic, Infamous, and Liquid Swords. There were classic Hip Hop albums before and after any of those existed. Chronic and Doggystyle are classic albums that sound nothing like those albums. OutKast's first three, Kanye West's first three (and I don't even like him), Jay's Reasonable Doubt and Blueprint, etc.
Supa Dupa Fly is a classic, iconic album. A classic is a classic whether we like the album or not. This album shifted Hip Hop.

I knew you were going to post that Anderson Cooper interview. Now here's the Krishnan Guru-Murthy interview where he elaborates his production style on early Hip Hop records. He touches on how he has basic skills when it comes down to the drum machine beat making and record scratching. He basically says what I've been saying over and over again in this thread about how he's a "producer" similar to P Diddy. He's an overseer of the direction that the music should go.
I timestamped it for you. It starts at 13:53 and ends at 15:49
You know what we are discussing in this thread, yet persist with semantics.
You know I really mean the guy who makes the beat for this discussion.
He says the same essential thing in this video from the jump that he did in the one @Rozay Oro posted.
I feel like I’m dealing less with Plankton, and it’s more like Spongebob Crackpipe

Jesus Christ. Page 4 Post #47 I literally said to you that Preemo is my personal (not being objective) pick for top beat maker with longevity.
There is no persisting with semantics anything. If someone quotes me I'm going to respond. Or is it that you want people to quote me and me to not respond?

I’ve just been trying to work Spongbob Crackpipe into a message in all honesty
Production regardless of genre isn't just the guy who makes the beat. That line of thinking shouldn't even exist. It is how new producers get jerked and why Hip Hop production suffers. Any Hip Hop producer will tell you that there is more to producing the song than just making the beat. Beat making is really entry level in regard to producing a record regardless of genre.
KLC of Beats By the Pound really nailed this point home when working with Snoop Dogg for the first time. Snoop was in the booth recording, but just stood there while the beat played. KLC was wondering why he wasn't rapping. Then it occurred to him that Snoop was used to being produced. He needed the direction. Once KLC guided him on how to approach the beat, he was good.
