When hip-hop heads debate the greatest producers of all time, why DJ Muggs rarely gets mentioned?

I remember the beef DVD's back in the day and DJ Muggs was telling one of his stories and I was shocked when he was saying he had to force Alchemist off Premo's d1ck. So low key I think DJ Mugs has a little resentment there but he put in real work. Props.

What was the context?

If Alc was an up and coming producer and he was stanning Premier I think Premier would agree with Muggs accessment. In the 90's you couldn't be too much of a fan if you were an artist.

Or Muggs could've been hating, I dunno.

You're right.

The context was DJ Muggs talking about a mobb deep situation and how Alchemist was working with them. It was all complimentary it was like he was saying Alc should be influenced by others too. I think the clip might be on YouTube though.

Easy.

In recent history.
Muggs really only has like one joint. Where a legendary emcee ripped his shyt frfr.
in the past two decades now.


Which is :




After going full alternative.
in their mtv darling phase.
after being the first culturally endorsed rap group.
winning the inaugeral billboard award for a rap group.

Muggs was right.
to say that to his protege in alc.
As alc needed to grow his own style. Which weened itself off extreme influences. Which means alc was going to need to jettison muggs and primo as influences. That hinge on biting.
to get to a level of nonbiting.

I would think.
that comment was made in muggs's development.
To aid his protege.

I been there and if you are a protege to a legend.
In your development under said legend.
You need to listen.
Then show and prove.
to elevate skill.
Regardless if the public is really on your dikk. Creating a false sense of entitlement and achievement.

You have to elevate skill.
devoid of biting to show and prove.

for me, I think some of his best work was with Funkdoobiest. Brothas Doobie was his Livin Proof. Very underrated and unknown album to the public today.
