Who is the greatest Rapper/Producer of all time?

[FreshAIG]

Not counting guys like KRS, Redman, Finesse, Tip, etc...I'm counting guys that are considered "Producer first" types.

RZA
Havoc
Quik
Diamond D
Erick Sermon

Personal preference, Andre 3000 and Big Boi should be on the poll. From ATLiens forward the co-produced some of Kast's best songs. They even have outside productions and would rap circles around most on the poll, if not all.

No doubt. A lot of my favorite beats on ATLiens were actually Oukast beats and not Organized Noize beats.

Kanye, Tip, RZA, or DOOM for me

 

[Awesome Wells]

This guy.

Or Q-Tip.

 

[Low End Derrick]

Surprised at the results of the poll. Would've thought Q-Tip would be miles ahead.

Not mad a Ye being ahead, though.

On this poll, Q-Tip, Kanye, Havoc, Erick Sermon, and KRIT, Quik, and RZA all jumped out.

Many of my favorites actually aren't on this poll: J Dilla, Black Milk, Roc Marciano, KA, Evidence, Redman, Diamond D, Large Pro, Earl, and Nottz are all high up on the list for me.

I think some of this comes down to "are you a producer that raps or a rapper that produces?" KRIT for example is someone I consider a solid rapper that's a really dope producer. Dilla is someone I consider a really doper producer that's a solid rapper.
