You right, Madlib's at least in the conversation, if not the best outright. Id probably put him second after premo

Q-Tip ( IMO fathered Dilla's whole style with the feel good postive jazz vibes on midnight marauders)

Madlib -

What he did on shades of Blue and his work as Yesterday's New Quintet.. and his mixes.




As far as producers, You can't out jazz this man without going out and making actual jazz with a band.
