Dre and Puff were the heads of the biggest and most prominent hip hop labels not named Def Jam... then we can’t forget Death Row the same way we can’t forget Uptown... and for folks talking about JD’s R&B bag.... let’s not forget Diddy’s work on Uptown alone

Yup :wow:

Its fukked up because JD got legitimate hits he actually PRODUCED (unlike Diddy) but nobody gives him that respect for his work and longevity. It’s like Hip Hop collectively reduced him to that “kiddy rap” guy when he’s responsible for soooooo much more
Another person who doesn’t get the difference between a beat maker (who can also be a Producer) and a Producer

Quincy Jones didn’t touch ONE instrument on Thriller.
Quincy Jones is one of the GOAT Producers: he knows EXACTLY what should be there, how it should sound, how it should be arranged, what to say to the artist to get the best performance and everything else.

Diddy is a lot of things but he is ONE hell of a Producer.

JD can actually make sick beats AND produce hits.

JD is dope, don’t get me wrong, but there’s levels to this... shyt, as a producer, his legacy is tied to kid acts (regardless of the countless hits he’s had with others)... if u think about it, from the ground-up, the only respectable act he’s tied to from the mud is Usher... compare that to Dre/Snoop-Em, Diddy-big/mase, Tim- Aaliyah/Missy, even Swizz got DMX.... JD did it to himself
