Is Pharrell number one for longevity as a top producer in the game?

[Left.A1]

LOL @ one incident = every Rick Rubin session. Dude, just stop.


Here's Rick doing 1 beat, alone, no co producers on a Lil Jon album when Lil Jon was on fire in the mid 2000's. And I already posted 99 Problems with Jay Z where he made the beat alone with no co producers so lets not act like these lone producer moments never happened.

Yeah you’re obviously white.…. a dumb white at that

Rick didn't “produce” shyt …. That particular song features what was then a 20 year old sample from SLAYER who Rubin worked with in the 80’s you incompetent honkey.…. nikka went to Wikipedia LMAO

Get your dirty foot trailer park ass the fukk on somewhere...embarrasing yourself around black people talking about some fukking Rick Rubin.… you're clearly an outsider reading Rolling Stone for all of your hip-hop knowledge

 

[Plankton]

Ahhh yes, you have 0 idea or clue as to what Rick contributed to the projects you explicitly listed in this thread meant to give him credit This retard really just wrote “he needs credit as a modern producer because his 30 year old record was sampled” LMAO Goofy ass nikka

I literally posted the production info from wiki showing 2 solo produced songs from Rick both in the year 2004 so for you to then say after the fact you have 0 idea or clue as to what Rick contributed to the projects you explicitly listed in this thread is a complete lie when everyone can see the 2 wiki posts.

For you to then turn around and then attribute the info I gave you for the Lil Uzi song that you specifically asked for and then lie and mix it with "the projects I explicitly listed" as if one has to do with the other is either you trolling or you just not paying attention to me addressing you about that one specific Lil Uzi question you asked.

Lying on me after the fact when the evidence I posted is clear as day comes off like trolling. And being that you can't keep it cordial and had to result to childish immature name calling referring to me as "goofy", this back and forth is over. I will never respond back to you on this topic again. I'm done but you can have the final word.

Okay, fine. I didn't know that. You don't have to hit me with the duck tales. He doesn't have 32 years. Fair enough. He's got 29, then. Is that not a lot of years?

This was like 96/97 right?

The thing with "Use Your Heart" is, Pharrell said that him and Chad produced that, but Teddy took the credit.

Which I totally believe because at that point, Teddy had a lot of young producers and writers fueling his Future Studios thing he started in VA.

Left on unread.…. Stupid dirty foot honkey Keep your incompetent vulture ass away from black culture

 

[s@n]

True, true.

For my personal tastes he’s a bit formulaic at times.

There’s a lot of stuff I love from him, but also a lot of paint by numbers stuff as well.

Is there a more recognizable sound than P/Neptunes production? Alchemist has far, far more range

I just said a few posts back that Pharrell's starting point will always be "Why you over there looking at me" by Mase so yes, he has 28/29 years in. I will agree on that.

And we'll ignore that Mase song as well as all of the songs the Neptunes did that made them a household name being a "group effort" and still give it solely to Pharrell.

 

[Left.A1]

Nope. He used to tell his engineer what to do. Get this riff get those drums. Until his style got played out then he acted like he was too good for rap. Even if you Google him it says he has no technical abilities. Nobody slept on him. He's overrated. Russell was already doing Rush before Rick. He takes too much credit for everything. Give him all his flowers in Rock. He's not a rap producer and he doesn't even like the genre that's the funny part. People carrying water for this hater.

Premise of this thread was about a great rap producer who never fell off. Dude fell off in the 80s in rap. Dre was relevant for 3 decades in rap for comparison. Why was this dude even a mention in here? Embarrassing

Exactly, these musty honkeys in here talking about some washed up ass Rick Rubin in a thread about producers that NEVER FELL OFF

Alchemist can make pop records, rock records, soul records, dance music, movie scores?


Lol.…love Al but saying he has more “range” as a producer is laughable when he barely ranges his ass out of a single genere

Even if you want to talk about solely hip-hop/RnB .…being able to go from making records like “Apeshyt” or “Blurred Lines” but also “Ride Around Shinnin” is something I haven't seen from Alc

 

[JustCKing]

I heard Al called the underground Pharrell recently and it's actually a pretty good comparison. I think the big similarity between the two of them is the connections and stuff they make between other artists, and they connect different people together and are often the go-between. They're both very good at networking and connecting others, and both have an insane amount of longevity and consistency. But Al is obviously more of an underground guy and Pharrell is a household name and truly a celebrity who has worked with more popular artists.

I don't place Pharrell over Timbaland for the specific reason that Timbaland was able to take a Bubba and a Petey who were relative unknowns and they had huge songs as a result of working with him. Meanwhile, Pharrell/The Neptunes were moreso best at making hits with artists who were already stars. That said, there's still The Clipse. They were relatively unknowns, but The Neptunes had them all over MTV. Therefore I don't think the underground thing applies here especially since Alchemist has production on Nelly, Snoop, Jadakiss, Nas, Kendrick Lamar, Mobb Deep, etc. albums.

I'd say Timbaland's sound is as recognizable if not more recognizable. I disagree that ALC has more range. Neptunes did Nelly's "Hot In Herre" and "Grindin" then laced LL with "Luv U Better". All were out around the same time. Completely different sounds.

 

[NormanConnors]

Rick Rubin was on Lil Uzi Verts 'Pink Tape' which dropped last year.

In the 2010's he was on:

Kanye West – Yeezus
Eminem – The Marshall Mathers LP 2
Wu-Tang Clan – A Better Tomorrow
GoldLink – And After That, We Didn't Talk
Kanye West – The Life of Pablo
Eminem – Revival


The answer is Rick Rubin.

How many of those beats were dope

You're late to the party and asking why all the chips and sodas are gone. I already addressed that and don't feel like repeating myself just because you are too lazy to scroll thru the thread.

 

[NormanConnors]

This here.

No one has the amount of work, and the consistency, on the level of ALC or Q-Tip. Tip's been doing it since the late 80's. Ridiculous amount of classic tracks. And he's still better than everybody on the boards. Longevity, you gotta mention dudes like Dre and Premier. Definitely Diamond, Pete, Madlib, etc.

Can't really count P because he was part of a production duo for most of his career, so 1/2 that credit goes to Chad.

P has his fair share of solo work/and was probably ghosting in the later part of the early 90's. Tip was also apart of a production group too. Versatility wise Alch isnt seeing Pharrell imo.

Tip's work with The Ummah is separate.

I'm talking about his work that he did for Tribe and others forever. There's too many classics to even name. Ali and Phife weren't doing sh*t on those beats, lol. That's why Tip was so mad about being so humble and not being all about the glory and why Busta said if people really pay attention, Tip's "the Dr. Dre of the East Coast". Nobody's had the kinda run he's had behind the boards, for as long.
