One Gotta Go!: Producers

[BrothaZay]

that's equally as bad tbh lol they're all elite level producers

now you're getting rid of all of ATCQ's music and also getting half-assed versions of Illmatic (well 1 song gone) and The Infamous

no matter who you choose, there are consequences

I'll live

One love is one of my least favourite beats on illmatic it's just me, but Gangsta bytch is heavenly

It saddens me to see so many people voting Q-Tip tbh

Not only are y'all happy to live without Tribe shyt, but you're satisfied with hearing an incomplete Infamous album without Give Up the Goods, Temperature's Rising and Drink Away the Pain in addition to hearing an Illmatic without One Love.

Drink Away The Pain is my least favorite song on Infamous and Hell On Earth is a better album.

I'm sorry but Q-Tip gotta go, history gets fukked if either of the other 3 were never there imo

I was considering it but I thought he doesn't have an album on the level of Midnight Marauders and Low End (unless people really fukk with the CL Smooth stuff).

So I'm surprised tbh that so many people are readily happy to get rid of Tribe. Also The Infamous is a top 5 album for me, I need those songs.

So obviously inspired by the Hot 97 segment, and they have done one on producers but it wasn't that competitive imo.

I thought I'd do one of my own and make it real tough.

So whoever you say gotta go NEVER EVER EXISTED, PERIOD. That means all their albums are gone, all the songs they produced on other albums gone, maybe the artists they helped to bring up are gone too.

I'll just bring up a few feats from each:

Dr. Dre - NWA, Dre solo, Snoop, Eminem etc.
DJ Premier - Gang Starr, Jeru, some Nas, Jay and pretty much everyone joints
Q-Tip - Tribe, produced some Mobb Deep stuff, Illmatic etc.
RZA - Wu-Tang Clan in its entirety

Dre.

Going objectively, in my Top 50 favorite hip-hop albums of all time, I've got three Wu-Tang related albums in my top ten (two in the top five, with the third being #8), and five in my top forty. So RZA stays.

I can't not have Tribe (one album in my top ten, one in my top thirty and one in my top seventy). Q-Tip stays.

The Sun Rises in the East is in my top 20, and I can't not have Gang Starr (I was listening to Daily Operation in the car yesterday) before even going into anything else. Premier stays.

So by process of elimination, that leaves Dre. I never cared for The Chronic (I always said Doggystyle was better, and stood behind that in the face of all the opposition I faced), and while I bumped Doggystyle when it came out, 23 years later it isn't something I listen to anymore. The drawback though is no Straight Outta Compton, or No One Can Do It Better, which is in my top 30. But the first appearance being top 30 is lower than top 10 (in the case of RZA) and top 20 (in the case of Premier). The accident ended anything after NOCDIB for D.O.C., and SOC is the only N.W.A. album I listen to. So Dre's absence affects less of what I listen to than the absence of any of the others would.

Mecca and the Soul Brother's in my top 40, but that's lower than MM or TLET.

Tip worked on every song on the Infamous. No Tip, no Infamous. Or at least, you don't have those songs he produced plus every other song isn't fixed up by TIp and sounds completely different. I can't live like that breh

Can you post your entire list?

@mobbinfms word

I can't get rid of a GOAT album, and fukk, Midnight Marauders is in the same league as well lol.

RZA was my first to stay, Tip was next. It was between Premo and Dre for me.

 

[Big Mel]

Kinda weird that the most talented guy is winning the poll.

 

[JustCKing]

To get rid of Dre as a producer is like deleting 30 years of Hip Hop history. A lot of albums would not even sound the same if Dre hadn't made the Chronic as it directly influenced many albums that came after. There's also the influence of his NWA production. Then there's Doggystyle and 2001.

RZA has Wu Tang. Q Tip has ATCQ.

I hate doing it, but Premo would be the one to go.
