WAIT :mindblown: you dudes are serious, aren't yall!!??

pretend that dj premier built his legend off of Christina Aguilera(who can sing btw) and limp bizkit. and act like pete rock is just known for radio remixes brehs.

some of yall starting to look funny in the light man.

at least with @JustCKing, I already know that hes a commercial cat. I expected this from you. but some of yall in here dappin it up......wow.

Ya'll act like Timbaland, Pharrell, and Swizz built their's off of R&B artists and Pop singers. What I'm pointing out is that they are all commercial producers right down to producing the same artists and appearing on the same albums.

no. he did the drums. if he ghost-produced the track, he could've made a career out of tracks like that alone.

the rest of this post is lol. I hope youre trying to blur the lines on purpose.

He did make a career out of producing tracks like that. "No More Pain" is the only Devante production that sounds like that. Those drums are a signature in Timbaland's sound.

Hey man

They named alot of remixes to help proclaim his name and NO ONE said that was all he had but the point is made. If nikkas naming a whole bunch of remixed radio songs we cant talk "commercial" as an excuse for their exclusion.

But anyway like i said "Aren't all these producers known for producing commercial ,major deal having artists?"


You can't try to seperate. They're all playing the same game. Some play it better than others. It's like nikkas really wanna say "timbo's successful,of course he named successful producers"

lol

All these nikkas made a name from working with commercial artists.
We'd know none of these nikkas if they were just making good records for nobodies without major record deals.
nikkas are delusional haters

I don't even group swizz with them.

just because you may produce for the same artists or albums, it doesn't mean that youre the same type of producer. people call on producers for different reasons. that's what you and @bigbadbossup2012 aren't comprehending. at least with the neptunes, they went on to do stuff like the clipse albums. t

@ the bolded. youre stuck on the drums breh.

lets use teddy riley as a barometer here.

i'd say he has a stronger claim as a hip-hop producer than the neptunes & timbaland. but we mainly categorize him as r&b. and this is the guy that produced THE SHOW and seminal records for legends like kool moe dee, heavy d & big daddy kane. and mind you, most of this stuff came before he started doing r&b beats.

difference with timbaland & neptunes is, they blew when rap became overly commercial and the lines are so blurred for people who REALLY got into rap since then.

HERES THE BOTTOM LINE: I'm not saying timbaland & neptunes aren't hip-hop producers but if I see their names come up in an all-time top 5 or 10 hip-hop producers list, I cant really take that person seriously. especially timbaland.

Whatever, Timb was partially a hiphop producer and still outdid Pete rock


most of those were either radio cuts that you skip when you listen to the album or singles by artists whose albums aren't being checked for by the niccas.

and why are you trying to argue with me about pete rock? lol. where did that even come from?

what artists did timbaland boost or blow up in the game? I'm talking more legitimate rappers with albums that ring bells.

he even had his own label with a few legit talents. and they got nowhere.

you gotta ask these sort of things before you start throwing rankings around.

Really tho, music is music... it would've been phony if Tim did what it seems some of think he should've done and threw in Premier, Pete Rock, RZA, or Dilla just to fill the quota. And on that subject, I see all these Madlib mentions... how is he even on a level with the other nikkas y'all namin'? He ain't fukkin' with Premo or PR or RZA... he's never had ONE year that he came with consistent fire and songs that got knocked like they did in their primes.

Far as Tims list, he said producers that moved culture... don't get me wrong, I would've expected his list to be outside of that one specific era of music, knowing his history as a DJ and his knowledge of music, but it's not like none of the people he named didn't do just that at a point. Like Swizz or not, he def. moved NY rap from one sound to another. Kanye def. has expanded the boundaries. Neptunes moved damn near everything in the early-00s. Dre moved things in two different eras. Timbaland moved the fukk out of music when his sound arrived... its not like these are irrational choices. Madlib would've been an irrational choice.

I don't know why nikkas act like hits don't count...

People LOVE Michael Jackson... they LOVE that man, and rightfully so. But they don't love him for "We're Almost There" and "Baby Be Mine" and "It's The Falling In Love"... they love MJ cause of all his big-ass hits and the big-ass videos and the incredible performances... if just making good music was enough, people would love Alexander O'Neal just as much as they do Mike, but that's not the case. So when Alchemist or Madlib don't pop up on these lists where Dr. Dre and the Neptunes do, are people really surprised? I don't think it's the only criteria for a great producer, but you can't really negate when MFs got songs that dominated over the course of different years, eras, decades, or whatever have you... you can play a whole Neptunes set today (given that it's 'that kind of party') and rock that shyt for a whole hour or more if you wanted to. That counts for something. Has to.

nobody is saying that hits don't count. at least I wasn't.

but when that's your main basis, theres a problem. especially for the timeframes most of these dudes were rockin in.

Why is it a problem? It's not like the dudes that failed to make hits,werent signed to majors and having their songs marketed to radio
