Exactly, Mike Will and Lex have singles, mixtape tracks and loosies under their belt. Guys like Premo, Kanye, Neptunes and Timberland have ALBUMS of great production. I can't see it.
rappers just dont want their albums to be directed by one producer anymore, besides drake an 40 cus hes the only one who knows what hes doing......

lex and mike have made huge contributions to albums though, an theyve both catapulted careers

Not saying they haven't made classics or don't have comparable talent more so they can't match the output which like you said is a function of the music industry today. Not their fault but can't happen.

i thought of that too, ive found most producers have those 3-5 years where theyre on fire though, an im also kinda assuming lex an mike stay killin it for the next couple years since theyre both almost picking up steam. Their discog's are as large if not larger than some legends already

There's producers who have had 3-5 years of being on fire, went through a slump, then came back with more heat though. Look no further than Dr. Dre. No one knows what will happen in the next 3-5 years. I mean, it wasn't long ago that Bangladesh and Polow were killin' it, but they've been silent recently.

Lex Luger and Mike Will's discographys are larger than which legend?

As a big fan of different types of production throughout the years, I'd humbly say no................they're not legendary yet. They both doing their thing, but they have to have a little more longevity before the legendary label gets thrown at them. Right now, they not even seeing guys like Just Blaze and I love me some good hard trap beats. If they still dominating in 2015 and 2016 then yeah they will have definitely earned some legendary recognition.

It's cool to say Premo washed up and overrated now, but dude held down shyt for a hot minute before nikkas was saying he top 5 and shyt.

anyone who woulds ay Just Blaze is better than Preemo is a fool and isn't to be taken seriously. Just Blaze is a hack who started out doing robo synth until bink gave him a style to run with.

lol Premo, Pharrell, Kanye, Dilla and basically any other top rap producer has done other tracks, so that can't fly as a reason why

Saying that is a disservice to Mike Will and every other Hip Hop producer who has worked with a Pop artist though. Is Dre no longer considered Hip Hop b/c he produced "Rich Girl" for Gwen Stefani? What about Premo for doing 5 songs for Christina Aguilera and working with Limp Bizkit?

You're not understanding. Point me to Mike Will's 'Straight Outta Compton' or 'Daily Operation'.

Those 2 bringing there sound to a pop artist isn't the same as Mike Will's sound being indistinguishable from whatever type of music it is that Rhi Rhi does. And i like that song.

the lines are so blurred now that nothing matters.
