Nellee Hooper is the producer behind Soul II Soul and part of Massive Attack. Dude low-key has CLASSICS under his belt that created trip hop (which borrowed from hip hop and also influenced hip hop too).

let's start with his biggest song:

Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2 U


Some other bangers:

Tina Turner - Goldeneye

Sneaker Pimps - 6 Underground (Nellee Hooper remix)

Sade - Feel No Pain (Nellee Hooper remix)

No Doubt - Hella Good

Soul II Soul - Back To Life

Soul II Soul - Fairplay (EPMD took the drums from here to make the ultra-classic "So What Cha Sayin")

Smashing Pumpkins - The Beginning is The End


Dude's discography is quite small so I don't expect this to be a long thread. Any favorite Nellee Hooper cuts?

Massive Attack's 'Unfinished Sympathy' is in my Top 5 tunes of all time, no questions asked.

He was also a part of 'Raw Like Sushi' - which I've always had a soft spot for.

That 6 Underground tune was right in the middle of the rise of Trip Hop. Got a ton of airplay when it came out.

Soul II Soul are just legendary. :wow:

Prince's version of 'Nothing Compares 2 U' with Rosie Gaines bodies Sinead's, though IMO.
