I hope you will make a part 2 of this video considering all the producers not in this video. A small set of examples that I could think of quickly is J Dilla, Madlib, Whitearmor (drain gang), Lusi, Hi-C, Parker Corey (Injury Reserve),.......
@martinfart1n644 ugly mane and purrp are both respectable producers in their own right but I don't think their production holds up as well long-term. Hot take ig 🤷♂️
$crim from $uicideboys has some of the most consistent and best production of all time. You should listen to some of his production as its some of the best i have heard. He goes by Budd Dwyer on most of his production credits
There are so many famous, influential, noteworthy, and downright great producers in hip-hop that you could absolutely do a follow-up video to include even more, and possibly change some positions as you hear more from the producers already on the list. It really has me thinking about the importance of beatmakers in both classic and modern hip-hop.

Re: RZA's production on Tical, I love that album. Aside from All I Need and Release Yo' Delf, which are basically remakes of classic R&B songs, the album is the darkest and grimiest of the Wu-Tang Clan's prime years. The beats on Sub Crazy and Mr. Sandman especially sound like nightmares in music form.
man ive been here since like 2016 and you could talk about drying paint at this point, ive genuinely grown to love your personality and flare. hate your twin on the other hand
I really liked this video because people need to talk more about producers. I also like that you explained your opinions so it's not just an echo chamber to the general consensus. But you are off your rocker on some of these. Pharrell and Metro in A? ATL Jacob in the same level as Zaytoven? It was entertaining tho lol
Very cool to see Metal Fingers included, thats more a deep cut i feel like. Honestly, I assumed he wouldn't be. Edit: I'd love to at least hear your thoughts on Fantastic Damage or Cancer for Cure. Then listen to Killer Mike's R.A.P. Music. That was the start of him and Mike's relationship that led to RTJ and shows his versatility in beat making for others. He also has done some great work for Danny Brown. Would love a in-depth talk about his place in rap as you look more into him, he has had a really underappreciated role in music imo.
16:48 if you’re a fan of JPEGMAFIA’s production style, check out EP2! he basically made an entire project without samples and it sounds incredible, really shows what he could do if he wanted to
i think el-p would be higher if you counted his earlier production work like funcrusher plus, cannibal ox, little johnny from the hospitul, and fantastic damage where he showed a lot of potential using analog equipment too
For EL-P, I’ve heard all 4 RTJ albums (2 is also my favorite), but I also really liked the album he produced for Killer Mike that acted as a sort of prelude to RTJ in R.A.P. Music. The production there was excellent!
London is so underrated. He also produced a handful of Juice WRLD songs that go super hard but are in the vault. London been doing it for so long and not getting his flowers
Eh......no J Dilla, 9th Wonder, Danger Mouse, Havok, Dj Muggs, Large Professor, Scott Storch, Madlib, Pete Rock, Kanye West (Before all that Ye nonsense, College Dropout till 808s eras, and last My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy). I'm surprised Timbland isn't on here either.
ngl i felt like el-p should've been like S-S+ Tier, but i gotta appreciate the raw honesty of saying the only reason he isn't higher cause you haven't listened to his other shit. I'd hope he'd honestly respect El-P more knowing he started producing and rapping super forward thinking abstract hip-hop in the late 90's, and did so much production on classic 2000's underground hip-hop albums as well as the amazing production on his solo albums AND Killer Mike's R.A.P. Music. man is a bonafide legend and he still just keeps making more amazing music tbh

Amazing video, just I would put Alchemist S. I’m not crazy about Metro beats either, but the Alchemist is just so important and has too many great collaborations. Earl Sweatshirt, Conway The Machine, and Billy James to name a few.
Bummed that you didn't include whoever the guy that produced Lil Xan's "Diamonds" on your list. I feel like that could've expanded the potential of this tier.

Not "every producer ever" when the ones missing are Madlib, J Dilla, Kanye... Like what?
Alchemist not in s tier is insane
If Al ain't the goat then who is😭? He broke my heart with that take
Alchemist should be in S+ with Premier, Madlib and Doom imo, Dre should be below that
Alchemist should 100% be in S+ tier. He's literally produced so many classics AND stays consistent with his quality to this day.
If i dont see Dr Giggletouch in S-tier I'm gonna riot
that’s what i’m saying bro
frfr

Big facts
Mike Dean not being here is criminal
Edit: Lex Luger also deserves to be here
Alchemist not being in S+ is suprising this dude has basically been one of the greatest for 25+ years now
El-P in A just proves to me that you haven’t heard The Cold Vein yet
One of the most underrated albums ever, top ten hip hop albums of all time easily
EL-P and alchemist not S+ is crazy
30 minutes cdtv video to help get over a breakup

Pleasantly surprised by this video, producers serve just as (sometimes more) important of a role as the artist themselves
Peggy, RZA, and EL-P should be in S+ tier
Madlib, J Dilla, Conductor Williams, Exile, Tony Seltzer, Kanye off the top of my head are some of my favorites
Alchemist is a clear S+
RZA is a clear S+
El-P is a clear S
Think you might need to listen to more of their work
DJ Mustard made the same beat 2000000000 times in the early 2010s. Shit drove me crazy whenever anything of his played on the radio
The Alchemist and Harry Fraud (who I don't actually think was on here) are S+ imo, yeah theyre formularic but it works every time and I can't get enough of their rapper + producer albums
I was looking for Harry fraud too him and alchemist make music for some of my favorite rappers right now

He is the first brown boy to get it poppin
Lowkey, as just a producer, Nav is great
No spaceghostpurrp, no lil ugly mane, no dj paul, no jdilla, no dj screw. True goats
Screw and dilla deserve spots fs, idk about purp and mane tho their beats were kinda wack 😂 ig that's what gave them their unique sound 🤷♂️
@@jcksklngtn1If u think Ugly Mane is wack ur trippin, Purrp’s hit or miss after the BMB era but he’s mad influential, but Dilla’s on his own tier

No clams casino
100% all pioneers
two additional producers
Christo - JID’s main producer

Yes! So talented both of them!

you have to listen to el-p's solo stuff plus the cold vein and r.a.p. music
