He's basically responsible for damn near every rapper we looked up to in the 80s and early 90s career. From Rakim to Big Daddy Kane to Kool G. Rap. He produced so many classic records and albums. I don't know how I see top producers lists and he's not in the top 5. To me he's top 3.

If you look at who he produced for, his innovations and his accomplishments he might be the GOAT. Find it crazy that some dudes don't even have him in their Top 10.


age my nikka. hip hop heads born after 1979 were 5 when he was dropping classics with shan & shante. 8 for in control volume 1 and like 10 when he beasted on mama said. not even sure if they even know his work with lotug when he completely switched it up on nikkas. amazing beat maker, true music producer and the first nikka to take samples & program his own drum patterns. my OG cousin from shaolin has him as the hands down goat

that's why being an early 70's baby i just let nikkas live on the coli with calling 90's the golden age & what have you. no hate, i respect it just fine but '85 to '89 was poppin. with '88 being goat low key

when the symphony dropped :banderas:
