Great question

A viable argument can be made for all 3 of them.

Some people could say that ALC influenced Ye and Just

Overall I'll say Ye....but my favorite beat since 2011 out of the 3 was Self Made...

And that Currensy/ALC album

Voted Alc. I think he's a bit more creative in his flips. A lot Kanye's beats are over hyped in my opinion and sometimes Just can overdo those crash cymbals.

1. Alc
2. Just Blaze
3. Kanye

Oh boy...this is gonna hurt to say, because Alchemist is my personal favorite producer maybe of all time, certainly top 3, and he has my favorite discography out of these 3, but...Just Blaze I think is the correct answer here.

Let's keep it hip-hop for a second and think of producer as beat maker. We all know Kanye will go down as one of the greatest producer/arrangers in music history. But he's a Quincy Jones type producer at this point. Even his old beats that he did all himself, usually had very obvious loops and very obvious flips. Very DOPE, no hating.

But Just Blaze is a machine. The guy can do any style better than the best. It's a shame too because I heard he hasn't touched a beat machine in 3 months, and when he is motivated to do music, it rarely comes out. He did 2 or 3 for Roc Marciano's new album, but they obviously aren't on there. The guy is the best producer match with Jay-Z ever, and he was the true in-house producer for The Roc. He's a savage man.

ALC is my personal favorite of the 3. I think no other late 90's "boom-bap" producer has evolved the way Al has. Hell, have any producers evolved the way Al has while still keeping it to samples? The man is a genius, and I enjoy his music the most out of the three of them.

Watch this video from 3:00 on, good mix of unreleased and hits. Incredible House of Pain flip in here and some other gems.

You can absolutely say that! Around the time of Dynasty/Blueprint, and when Kanye and Just had the same manager/A&R at Rocafella, it's been well told that Gee Roberson played ALC and BINKs beats for Just and Kanye and said, "You two need to keep doing this stuff." Now, Kanye was always kind of doing soul beats, but some of his early stuff was definitely not soul shyt, and everyone knows Just was all over the Korg shyt before Dynasty.

In 98, 99, and 00 ALC was doing all over the soul beats. Well before the "resurgence of soul beats" in 01 when Just and Kanye made it "hot" again.

Just Blaze is a monster of a producer. He def gets the best out of all of them.
