Who Is Your Favorite Producer & Why?

[bigfamily]

My favorite producer is Primo, although I don't emulate his style. The biggest influence is someone your prolly not familiar with. His Name is Ike Lee II. Dude is nasty in all aspects and he always amazes you with the little shit that sneaks through.

J-Dilla
DJ Quik

Dr.Dre but I'm tryin to come wit my own style

[jooneydubz]

My influences(I dont really have too many of their elements in my opinion)

EDIT:I forgot to say why

All of them are unique to hip hop production.

Needlz-Simple but Complex
Kanye West-Good Samples with filthy drums
Havoc-Dark,Grimey Sound
Nottz-Sick Bass
Swizz Beatz-Ill Drums and Energy

[Jesse Spawn]

I had to take a double take at this post cuz at first glance I thought noone mentioned RZA but they did. Alot of dope producers out there but none like Bobby Diggs in my humble opinion.

[thetruth]

Just Blaze- creative with the beats
Dr.Dre- drums are crazy
Dj Premier- he's just talented
Swizz Beats- he is energetic and he produces nice street anthems

[KWES THE BEAST]
