Wired 25: The 25 Best Producers In Hip-Hop Right Now

[CL Smoooth]

K.R.I.T. produced two albums, nowhere to be seen.

came in here to say this.

 

[Zach Lowe]

This list fails because it looks like it's supposed to be a hottest (rather than best) producers list

And it even fails at being a hottest list because Justice League is too high and Pharrell makes the cut

Overall it could be worse though

 

[stealthbomber]

1. Mike Will
2. Hit-Boy
3. No I.D.
4. T-Minus
5. JUSTICE League
6. Young Chop
7. Jahlil Beats
8. Kanye West
9. Oak & Pop who?
10. Harry Fraud
11. Diplo
12. Swizz Beatz
13. 40 drake payed for this spot
14. Bangladesh
15. Jim Jonsin
16. Just Blaze
17. Pharrell
18. araabMUZIK should be higher imo
19. Lex Luger
20. Salaam Remi
21. The Alchemist pharell>>alc in 2012?
22. Symbolic-One who?
23. Sledgren
24. Boi-1da
25. Tyler, The Creator

most of this list is the right people but in waaay incorrect order. wheres cardo and krit tho?

 

[stealthbomber]

where the fukk is Clams Casino on that list

clams should be top 10 for liveloveasap alone

 

[Astonish]

T-Minus is my current fav. He should at least be ahead of No ID.

Cardiak is a huge omission.

 

[Ashtrey]

No Ski Beatz

 

[dre]

Off the break there are not 20 people better than Alchemist...what a shytty list.

This is too obsessed with that trap sound

 

[labelplant]

Drumma Boy, Zaythoven, Big KRIT, J. Cole

 

[Danie84]

ALC should be # 1

 

[BrothaZay]

Why is Lex Luger rated so low hes way better than young chop, swizz and mike will lame ass

 

[SoulController]

Drumma Boy

yea thats another weird one, Drumma always doin his thing

i love Lex but hes lost his grip on the game a little bit, didnt have too many placements this year. hes on Trap God, maybe Future will throw him a bone on his upcoming tape

 

[Pimp]

Young chop might be number 1 by next year.

 

[Black Ball]

So they shyt on Alc?

Let off Ski Beatz?

@ Krit not being prominent on this list.

 

[feelosofer]

To be honest the list is solid but the order is off. I've been iffy on Kanyes recent work but either as a beatmaker or producer, he should be in the top 3. Also Alc should be in the top 5. Low key dude's beats are some of the best he's done in years, but all in all the right people are on this list more or less.

 

[mortuus est]

That list is not based on skills, more about the hits per say.
