One of the foundations/elements of Hip Hop & Rap music is the debate. Because of this, I just can’t wait see what fisticuffs this latest list will spark. Here for your reading enjoyment is my personal list of the Top 50 Greatest Producers In Hip Hop.

Enjoy!

WOW!!!!!! The 50 GREATEST producers in Hip Hop/Rap?!!! Really??!!
No disrespect to ANYBODY but who is Lee Stone?! I checked his credentials and he doesn’t have 1 bonafide CLASSIC HIT record. O Gee?! Who is that?! Out of 50 producers in all of Hip Hop/Rap you make room for guys like Lee Stone and O Gee, but you don’t have room for Johnny J???!!! I’m not even a West Coast dude, I’m a East Coast dude, but name just 5 of your favorite ORIGINAL 2Pac songs and chances are Johnny J produced it. He was rockin’ with Pac since the THUGLIFE album and probably earlier all the way through All Eyez on Me. He’s made a SERIOUS contribution to Hip Hop
Do any of you even lisen to music. Have you not heard of Jim Jonsin.
How about Sir Jinx, or QD3?
HOW THE HELL YOU FORGET POLOW DA DON. ALL THE GREAT BEATS HE MADE
AYYO YALLNIGZ 4GETN BOUT DAT JAPANEESE FUCK NUJABES! DA MA FAKA GOTTZA B AT LEAST HONORABLE MENTIONSAYN?
Take j dilla off dat fucking list niga..all u j dilla dickriders….rip but he is not on no hiphop classic album to date!!!!!…. And he fukked up tribe shit..boring ass producer.. so GTFOH!
Reaper, you’re an idiot. You can’t name one of his albums as classic because they were ALL classic. You don’t understand why J Dilla is at the top because you listen to justin beiber. SMH. It’s a shame some people can’t appreciate Dilla because of their lack of knowledge or the fact they want to try and be different or something. Do your homework. Or just appreciate some real hip hop… Jay stay paid
I didn’t read all the comments so maybe someone mentioned him already but just in case…where the hell is 45 KING??!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nujabes should really be on this list. That guy deserves way more recognition than he gets.
What about lex luger,polow da don,manie fresh,kane beatz,swizz beatz?…This must be a vintage list
JAY STAY PAID
No Swizz Beats, DJ Scratch or LES? Salaam Remi took the game back 10 years alone with “Made you Look”? Why 49th?
