He's saying producer in Puffy terms. 9th made the beats, Phonte was the one creating the concepts and figuring out how to develop the songs.
Beat maker = making beats
Producer = sequencing, Format of the beats, skits etc.
doesnt really seem like a revelation :yeshrug:

The problem is the language we are using.

Producer. That's a word. Good words mean certain things, not one of a few things that are unclear.

Calling a beat maker a producer might be the problem with how we see all this.

If Puff is a producer, then it's okay for 9th to not be a producer.

I don't respect Puff over Easy Mo Bee for the tracks Mo Bee made for Bad Boy.

When I found out Rakim made his own beats, I lost any respect for Eric B.

QTip and Scarface make beats. That's impressive to me. I don't give a fukc who the studio engineer was.

Who "produced" Illmatic as a whole? Who gives a shyt? He had the top beat makers on there.

I don't understand that analogy. Puff is neither a beatmaker or a producer

And Easy Mo Bee is both a beatmaker and Producer
