Who do you feel is the greatest Hip-Hop producer of all time?

[28 Gramz]

I don't see how this is even laughable. As dope as Paul and J are, they aren't Neptunes level. Why? When taking into consideration the following:

- "Grindin" is one of the most influential beats of all time from becoming the beat every kid in class or the lunch room banged out on tables to producers taking a more minimalist approach to production.

-they have classics with Snoop ("Drop It Like It's Hot"), Jay Z ("Allure"), Nelly ("Hot In Herre"), Ludacris (Southern Hospitality)

- put on the Clipse

- still have hits this decade

Three six was stamped nationwide in 97 and their style still holds a grip on the current generation.






Neptunes have more too 100 hits but so does Swizz Beats, so that doesn't hold a lot of weight.

Premo or RZA

Why is this even a debate, Dre been had heat since the 80s name another producer who has.

Nothing you posted about Paul & J puts them over The Neptunes. Like I said, "Grindin" alone is one of the most influential beats ever. That coupled with the careers they impacted, puts The Neptunes over the top. I mean, even in this decade:

J Dilla & Pete Rock

please stop

You may prefer Paul & J to The Neptunes, but objectively speaking, they aren't better than Chad and Pharrell.
