Dilla Dawg

I was initially surprised to here this but in retrospect those beats are classic Dilla.

still a bit in shock that DJ Premier did this beat, he needs to hook up with Devin for a whole album if this is the result

There's a lot of songs I couldn't believe Will.I.Am produced. The songs he did for Talib Kweli, The Game's "Compton", Bone Thug's "The Streets", and a few others.

Hip-Hop doesn't shock me as much but R&B and singing ballads get me.

David Foster produced and/or played on Al Jarreau's "After All".

Nile Rodgers produced David Bowie's "Let's Dance".

Babyface produced and wrote on The Whispers "Rock Steady".
