I lean toward Rza, but I'm not going to be mad either way the poll goes. Premo is that dude.
Kyle C. Barker
Migos VERZUZ Mahalia Jackson
Vice versa for me but I can't be mad if someone goes with rza.
Premo.
I gotta go with premier on this one as much as it hurts me to say
RZA's production has fell off more than any producer ever it's crazy plus RZA has resorted to single copy album gimmicks and as a long time fan I can't get down with that at all. The last true dope ass classic RZA beat to me is Raekwon state of grace like 10 years ago. The beats on OB4CL2 were decent but other than that RZA is wack and out of touch these days

Premo obviously.

At his best, RZA's more creative and versatile and his best work is impeccable but the lionshare of his greatest gems are in the 90s.
Premo's more one dimensional but he's still dope and way more consistent. I was digging his production well into the 2000s. I ain't heard no great RZA beats in a loooooong time

@adonnis - pull up, there's refreshments
RZA without question
This might not qualify but RZA's done some solid soundtrack work throughtout the 2ks. Imo Afro Samurai's and Kill Bill's scores were solid projects.

Going with Rza because his heights are just otherwordly imo, and crafted whole projects. But Premo more consistent.
Premo crafted enter projects too. Gang Starr? Jeru? Others too...

Preemo easy!!!
He makes beauty through sound

Aint no one sleeping on Gangstarr or Jeru
A premo album is something like a collection of ill beats.
He never focused on the elements of hip hop production that exist outside the groove... Im talking dialogue clips, sample layering, track sequencing, finding the right atmosphere. Those are the things that set RZA apart.
And I think that before RZA started doing his thing, hip hop was just hardcore funk. RZA brought a different kind of mentality and elevated hip hop into the realm of abstract art.
