There's no excuse for bad production in 2014.

Yeah, but I consider Just Blaze top 10 producer, but I bet eve he sells cheaper these days.

Definitely, it's crazy how many producers and "producers" there are out there, these guys have no choice but to basically take what they can get.

Any jackass with a USB record player, a MIDI Pad controller, and some recording software (including myself) can make beats and come up with something at least half decent.

The best production don't come cheap. I bet a lot of these rappers don't have the pockets or the budget to get a beat from a top of the line producer unless it's on some favor for a favor type shyt.
top tier producers can only charge a grip because that credit is good promotion for the album. For instance with Oxymoron many people saw a Pharell production with Jay Rock featured titled Los Awesome and probably got excited. Needless to say, while I fukk with the song it's probably the worst beat on its own compared to the rest of the album. If Jay and Q didnt have energy on the track it'd get :camby:

The best beats however are by a relatively unknown Nez & Rio ...and then Sounwave who is inhouse. Figures.

The internet era killed off their excess profit because quality production is being offered for dirt cheap from nobodies.

But at the same time, most big time producers were nobodies at some point, but had some sort of hook up with someone that blew up that got them where they're at now.

Hopefully in the next decade, we'll get some legendary shyt out of a new generation of some guys who are actually great at what they do, and not just who they know.

No everyone agrees that Em had bad production. So does Joe Budden and Lupe.

Production is the one thing in rap that isn't really subjective.

No one thinks Ross raps over bad beats or some shyt like that
Shut up.

I'm more concerned with production all starting to sound more or less the same. The trap/drill production style has saturated the rap scene these days. On another note.. yeah, for rappers like J. Cole and Lupe production is their Achilles heel.
