thats tough.

i'd probably say marley marl since he was the most versatile, and had classics ranging from like '85 thru '96.
That's nothing compared to dre. Dre was going strong for nearly twice that long. And what did Marley do in 1996?

dre's sound changes according to whoever is "assissting" him in the studio. and to be real, dre aint been DRE since he left death row. he had his lil stretches but for the most part, nah.

'85-96 arent just twelve years. they translate to like 36 years when you take into consideration how drastically hip-hop changed from year-to-year back then.

marl was supposed to produce "it was written" in '96. they say this was supposed to be on it:

Ok so he produced no classics in 1996,so what was his actual last classic?

so marley marl is disqualified because he isnt current?
No,you chose to use his so called eleven year classic run as a talking point. I obliterated it by first stating Dre run was nearly double,then buy pointing out he hasn't had a classic since 91' anyways. You objected to that But didn't return with a new sensible year instead u deflected and start saying personal shyt against my COLI character. So you never returned cause you knew you had nothing for me. So do you have a better candidate or not?

marley marl
larry smith
mannie fresh
rza
shocklee/bomb squad
possibly premo

Mannie Fresh is dope, but greater than Dre? Not even close. Just because he entirely produced all those CMR albums back in the 90's doesn't make him special either. Nothing he produced during that run is significant enough to compare to Dre's classics or even the other producers you listed him with.
