SOHH Atlanta

The good doctor isnt living off of yesterday's merit. Mobb Deep (Outta control) 50's album, em's album,anybody ever heard of stat quo..very underrated, (sounds like no other) but dre has made some bangers for him, the game, he hasnt done much, but he makes sure you remember him. As for JD, he been doing his thing! Besides the IRS problems ( you cant hate, he just didnt file) Everyone one you can think of having a hit he has been behind it. What has missy produced lately?

"And how long will Dre live off of yesterday's merits. Good doctor- you are wanted in the studio, immediately!"

Uhh are you a moron like everyone else who works for this site? Dr. Dre executive produced The Documentary and The Massacre, 2 of the 3 biggest albums of the year and also helped revive Mobb Deep's mainstream appeal with 'Outta Control Remix'

IMMA TELL YOU! JD IS THE HOTTEST PRODUCER OF OUR TIME! EVERYTHING HE MAKES IS HOTT. THE CAT IS ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC! MUSIC AS WHAT IS STANDS FOR MAKIN YA MOVE AND SPITTIN HOTT SHYT! IF I HAD ANDYONE IN THE WORLD TO PICK AS A PRODUCER, HANDS DOWN I WOULD HAVE TO GO WITH JD. IM WEST COATS FROM LA, BUT I HAVE BEEN FEELIN JD BROM BACK IN THE DAY! JD, YA MAN THAT NICCA IS FIRE!!!!! ALL OF HIS ARTIST HAVE BEEN SUCESSFUL, OMG THE NIG IS HOTT..... OOOH YEA LIKE THAT RECORD WITH THAT CAT THAT HANGS WITH NELLY, WHAT THE HOOK GOIN BE, COME ON MAN U CANT BE SERIOUS! I CANT BELEIVE JD WASNT IN THE TOP 3! HE GOT THEM ALL BEAT! HIM AND JAZZY NECK AND NECK, BUT JD STILL GOTTEM!

I can't stand Jermaine, but he has to crack the top 5. I don't even know what Daz has produced recently. I know he is a great producer.

As for the Dre "living off yesterday's merits" comment, no website that advertises itself as hip-hop would write that nonsense. The only person 2 producers I put at Dre's level are Timbo and Premier.

Executive Producer only means you put the money behind the project homey!

Anybody in Cali knows Dre aint in the studio workin. He's puttin money behind his projects and das it' You cats need to get an understanding of the game. Dre is still number one but he does need to put out some new material just like Timbaland.

who is daz?

What about 9th Wonder? Premier? They forget about two of the nasttiest beat makers out there?

No one's snares cut like premier and 9th is just making beautiful music... They need to check themselves hard.

DRE HASN'T DONE ANYTHING IN A WHILE. THE MASSACRE DIDN'T HAVE ANY DRE BEATS. THAT'S PROBABLY WHY THE SHIT WAS GARBAGE. ANYWAY TIMBERLAND HAS THE CROWN UNTIL SOMEONE TAKES IT!!!

I agree with Chevy V. JD hasn't produced any "credible" rappers in a long long time. But there are alot of other producers I would name before Daz. Don't get me wrong he has some hot shit but he was overrated on that list. We are talking about the top 5! How is Missy on that list? Scott Storch is definetly NOT a candidate. Organized Noise....ehhh. Jazzy Pha....maybe. Lil Jon....FUCK NO. Mannie Fresh....Yeah. DJ Premier....Could be and should be. But I don't see JD being in the top 5 maybe top 10.

I forgot about Timbaland. Where the fuck is he at on that list?

JD doesn't get the respect he deserves because he doesn't have a signature sound. Any Hip Hop head can tell Dre drums from the first 4 bars. Same with tthe Neptunes and the synthensized guitar licks. JD also jumps on bandwangons from biting Kanye's chipmunk funk for Bow to the Wheezy's "Let me Hold you" to the Neptune funk that he bit for "What the Hook gon' be" for Murphy Lee. He deserves his props but he is a major biter. On the flip side, he is a MUCH better MC than Pharell and Dre, a better ghost writer than Missy and I don't know of anythingf he does better than Daz except bounce back from tax issues, I guess. OMG, this sohh blog shit is turning into a hater. I LIKE JD!!!

JD is always overlooked. They tried to make Mariah's comeback look like Jay-Z and Def Jam had something to do with it. JD gave that girl life. Usher would be irrelevant today after his fuck up with Diddy. JD Bought that nigga into the scene and made that nigga's album, with all the hits.

SO SO Def in the building.

I don't know why in the world JD is not included in that list. He done more than most of the producer's on there. Also, if they are rating hot producers, then they left out Bighub out of Dallas, TX. That dude can get down for his. If any of you cats on this piece is looking for a tight producer. Holla at Bighub. www.myspace.com/bondedsoulzprod.

Mannie Fresh is def. a top five, Storch is too. 9th Wonder makes me go to sleep, his beats are "ehhhhhhhhh". Premo is still ill. Kanye is tight on beats. Neptunes, Chad and Pharell, are tight, not just Pharell. DJ Toomp, Juicy J, Just Blaze, Lil Jon, Timbo, Dre, Will I Am, Jazze.....
They really should have did a top ten list

how they gonna forgfet my boi timbaland?? dat nigga can make hits for rap artist,pop artists,rb artist..hell everybody..fucc that list, and if it wasnt for timmy tim missy's ass woodnt be producing at all. im tired of niggas underratin my boy. i see ya tim

I think he is hot too, no question, but have we forgotten about Jimmy Jam and Terry, Teddy Riley, Kyle West, David Foster, and Burt Bacharach?? Please give props where props are due, a'iight??

Toomp and Chez for Prez!!!

DJ Paul and Juicy J da superproducers
da most known unknown
M-Town runnin da game now

um i have not seen t.v in awhile so can someone please enlighten me...

what does DAZ do on his show? does he teach confused black teenagers to find a more twisted path of personal destruction that will have them in the lock up before their 25? Does he teach white kids how to be Crips? Whats Daz rappin about now.....drugs,guns,sex,gangs,drugs,guns,sex,gangs,etc....? just a few questions, can someone help me out????

Missy produces? Who and what...and how'd she land on the list?

I don't like JD or his music, but dude has produced madd talent. Respect where it's due I guess.

Dre is the shit! Preme should be on there. Storch of course...

On the North End (Canada) - got give props to Saukrates, Kardinal, and the sickest Canadian artist: Classified. Dude is like 5 albums deep (last 2 have been sick-as-fuc), produces all of his own beats (as well as beats for others including Maestro), and is a hidden gem in Canadian Hip Hop. Respect that.

Co-sign on the kid Classified. That cat's nice. Redman signed Saukrates over 2 years ago, but no albums yet?!?!?

Good to see some Canadian content on this site.

"Where is Redman?", Daz is strait he's just in Dre's shadow, he'll never shine til Dre leaves the game. Even though he's in ATL he stil got that West flava

Missy Elliot?
Top 5 right now
1. DJ Paul and Juicy J
2. Dr. Dre
3. Timbaland
4. Jazze Phizzle
5. Mannie Fresh
Michael Watts holds it down, but only few heads can get down wit screw.

Redman was supposed to drop Dec 2005 - Red Gone Wild - it got pushed back indefinetly?!? I don't know why. I've been ithcin' for some new Red.

This list is a little whack.

First of all someone said JD doesn't have a 'signature sound'?

Huh?

JD sure as shit has his own sound. Who's been producing HITs out of the south longer than JD? Besides Face and Reid?

No one.

No one has been more consistant than JD for as long.

Secondly, I have a little issue with Missy being in the top 5, because she doesn't actually make beats. She writes and does vocal arrangements, but those hot beats are always produced by someone else.

If it had said Tim AND Missy, then I could go for that.

The two of them together are the SUPER TWINS for real.

And as someone already pointed out 'executive producer' doesn't mean Dre produced EVERY track on the album.

Read those liner notes are little more closely and you'll see serveral people with credits on each track.

Add to that, those tight synth lines of Dre's actually have been coming from Scott Storch lately. (if it weren't for the fact that he's producing Paris Hilton right now, maybe he would have made the list himself. ouch)

DAZ IS A BETTER PRODUCER THAN JD SO WHATS ALL THE FUSS?

If JD is not on that list then the list is BOGUS, and he's gonna put Missy over Timberland, you know dude was either, down on rock, fell off in a doze or just plain on another planet. While Dre deserves his props and even the rest of them may have just cause, but come on DREAMER.

The Dr. is at work when we all are asleep. Back up off DRE. He is HOT and will always be HOT!!!!!

how much of dr.dres productions are actually his.

outta control original
start from scratch
how we do

how much of these did he produce. because game and 50 givin him props like he produced it on his own

Skdamc, you have made one of the most ignorant posts of all time. Did I read it wrong or did you say JD was a MUCH better MC than Dr. Dre??!!! YOU ARE A FUCKING IDIOT. Excuse the language, but I guess you have never heard of the chronic. If you think the garbage musicians that JD puts out are hot then that is your opinion but never, EVER say that JD is a better MC than Dr. Dre.

It must be said.

The Chronic, was 90% Parliament/Funkadelic.

His rhymes were alright, but the credit for the music belongs to George Clinton.

The most underrated producer of all time is RZA. RZA produced all of Wu's Classic Albums. When Raekwon and BIG had beef, BIG had some much for Respect for RZA that he asked he to produce one of his best songs (Long Kiss Goodnight). Don't believe me, all you P2P download Rainy Days, Camay, Cold War, Verbal Intercouse and listen to the beat. He got to be top 3

Some of you people are dumbasses (uk rap fan). Being a producer doesn't necessarily mean you played all the instruments. Dre, Kanye, and plenty other producers have musicians play out their arrangments. Some have the musicians play what they want. There is more to production than beat making. How about arranging the song, overseeing the whole outcome of the song including the overall mix, or actully getting the artist to perform the way the producers envisions it. We are in a age of "beatmakers" who just submit beats and the artist rhymes over it. Thats why the industry is so shitty right now.

Liquid Swords is a fuckin classic.

RZA does his thing.

He does get more film jobs than most hip-hop producers though.

Go On http://www.soundclick.com/akur and listen to "Take My Time" by AKUR.Micwise(me) on the 1st verse,Nebachadnezza on the 2nd,back/forth on 3rd.Some of da illest shit that's out right now.

Top 5(producers):
1.Dr.Dre = Still makin them hits
2.Timbo the King = Nuff said
3.DJ Paul and Juicy J(Three 6 Mafia) = If you havent been a fan since '95, you not a hardcore rap fan at all. Beats is hard!
4.Neptunes = doin it big
5.Mannie Fresh = DJ Mannie Fre Fre Fre Fre Fresh! HOT!

unknown is got the list right.good job.

Am I one of the only people in the world that respects JD for what he's done for not just the Southern Hip-Hop scene, but our R&B scene as well... Shit read this- http://eastcoastcriticsarebiased.blogspot.com/2005/08/does-jermaine-dupri-get-respect-he.html

Undoubtedly RZA was one of the top producers of the 90's, just listen to any of the Wu-Tang albums or Digital Bullet. All of this talk of DJ Paul and Juicy J or Mannie Fresh being top five producers is a little much. How can you not put Kanye West on any list? Anyone ever listened to the Blueprint or either of his CD's??? DJ Paul, Juicy J and Mannie Fresh have produced songs with repetitive and shallow themes for 10 years now but people want to recognize them over Kanye West,Dr. Dre, DJ Premier, or Pete Rock (no one has even mentioned Pete Rock?!) That shows that alot of these people are just hearing songs, not listening.

JD is kinda hot, he writes everybody's shyt, i mean Oh I Think They Like Me is a hot track, jus wit the wrong peepz, Bow Wow verse was the best, and guess who wrote it- JD. And who eva wrote this blog is a clown for takin shotz at Dr. Dre.

Here Is My TOP 5

Dr. Dre
The ALchemist
JD
Mannie Fresh
Jazzy Pha

Potential
Eminem
High Tech
Needlz

MAN JD IS AT THE TOP, JUST BECAUSE HE HASNT PRODUCE NO CREDIBLE RAPPER DOESNNT MEAN NUTIN HIS R&B SHIT IS TITE IT SHOWS US THAT HE HAS VERSATILITY. DR.DRE IZ OLD AND GETTIN' REAL TIRED LETS BE REAL HE IS A DRUM PROGRAMMER HE DOESNT MAKE MELODIES HE HAS PEOPLE PLAYIN' FOR HIM NEED I REMIND YOU LIKE GOOD OLE MR.STORCH OKAY SO IM WIT DA STAFF WIT THIS ONE

Although he has'nt put out any beatsi n a while Premier is still that nigga, 9th Wonder makes great beats, Dre is and always will be one of the best to ever do it. As far as JD goes, that nigga good at the beats and he somewheer near the top but he can't rap for shit.

So So Def is wack, Atlanta is wack and everything in the south is wack. If you think they like you then you must be impaired. DON'T NOBODY LIKE THE SOUTH OR CRUNK BULLSHIT. Negroes is getting made fun of out here seriously.
SOUTHERN MUSIC = NO CLASS + LACK OF INTELLIGENCE

I like crunk and bounce music it's refreshing but I like all type of hip hop as for this story i feel jd should be on the list because he bought back ms glitter because she was gone and did you mention jd produce usher too? and write the fuckin songs for him and he did some stuff for monica too all those albums are platium wino's now as for hip hop sure he hasn't had that top rapper yet but I think jd will find that top rapper one day.

Thats the most blatently ignorant list I have ever seen. Pharrell? Missy Elliot?? Kanye??? It's like the list was made by a 15 year old who started listening to rap last year.

No DJ Premier, Large Professor, The Alchemist, or Pete Rock on the list? No Mannie Fresh or J. Prince?

And if the site was going to put Dre, atleast give credit to DJ Yella.

Johnny K: Dre NEVER wrote his own rhymes, Dummy. JD writes his rhymes, Da Brat's rhymes, Bow Wow's rhymes, Kriss Kross rhymes and so on. You must stop with the knee jerk reactions and research your topic. Dre NEVER wrote his rhymes, hence NOT A BETTER MC. MC's write their own rhymes, rappers rap. Chew on that shit.

OK...ON the Dre versus JD debate, even though I'm a Dre fan, I must admit that JD is the better MC. However, Dre is the better rapper and what sets Dre apart from the other producers is that he NEVER PRODUCES FILLER OR GARBAGE. Everything is the shit.

Ok skdamc, you doing too much. JD is cool producer, but he aint ever wrote one of the BRAT's rhymes nigga. Do your research. She was grown and was winning talent shows for rapping before she met JD nigga, matter of fact thats how she met that JD nigga. Brat goes hard. keep it in on topic, producing music. Kriss kross yes, i dont even know about bow wow, because if you take his first album and 2nd album and think, you can hear the brat coming out in his shit. I've heard jd rap, "straight out the gila man, known as a killa man," he couldnt write a better verse than that????? MAN THE BRAT RIPPPED THAT SHIT!!!! Thats how you know, nigga she from the chi and she rap like it. Dont take that away from her man, she'll eat up every chick in the game or ever was in the game. Yes even that shemale rah digga will get her ass ate up too. DAMN!!!!

Daz IS at least one of the top 10 producers.
the actual top 10(in order) is:
1.of course the muthafuckin doctor.
2.timbo-consistent,trendsetting,always got some heat.
3.pharrell and chad(they a team,so its both of them niggas).
4.dj quik(give him some rispeezie{thats respect for all you hood-language-challenged people}
5.JD-does MORE than hip hop,so he is one of the best overall,but in hip hop he comes in at like 5.
6.rza-extremely creative and classic,and always keeps it hood.
7.k. west-yall already know.
8.daz dilly-dude makes fire,but he aint in the top 5.
9.dj premier-ultimate boom-bap classic shit.
10.lil jon-he makes that gas,that club shit.
-WHETHER OR NOT YOU AGREE WITH ME,YOU GOTTA RESPECT MY LIST,AND EVEN IF DONT AGREE,FUCK YA!!CAUSE THESE NIGGAS IS MY PRODUCING IDOLS,I HOPE TO ENTER THIS LIST ONE DAY(ABOUT 8-10 YEARS FROM NOW).

KEVIN K IS A FUCKIN IDIOT!!!
he said jd is a better mc than dre?
get the fuck outta here man!!!
dre isnt a good mc,hes average,but jd is even worse than dre!!!
at least dre is relatively from the hood,jd is a band member-type nigga,nice ass rich ass atlanta cat.dre keeps it gangsta too.jd cant even try to keep it g, cause on GP,he doesnt wanna lie.now hes starting to lie tho',evidently through them franchise boys new song where he says,"im the dopeman".if jd is a dopeman,hes a fuckin drug addict,cause HE COULDNT FLIP A BRICK IF HE WAS A CONSTRUCTION WORKER!!!(and thats from my own rhyme book,so dont bite,thirsty mcs out there!!)

younghustla, DJ Premier is number 9?!?! You crazy?!?!

DJ Premier made hits from Notorious B.I.G. to Jay-Z to Kool G Rap to Big L. (Almost) Every rapper who's been legendary has had production from Preme. Not just a silly pop hit on MTV.

And for the south, J. Prince made Rap-A-Lot what is was. From Scarface to UGK.

Nigga, fuck ya list!

NIGGA. ALL THAT PETE ROCK, DJ PREMIERE SHIT IS PLAYED OUT. ALL THAT SAMPLIN AND TIMS AND HOODIE SHIT IS DONE. IN THA SOUTH WE ARE ORIGINAL WE PLAY OUT ERRYTHING. YOU CAN'T LISTEN TO NO FUCKIN PREMIER SHIT IN A CAR. WHAT I LOOK LIKE PULLIN UP TO A CLUB LISTENIN TO ROYSE THA 59. NIGGA MOVE AROUND WITH THA NY SHIT. PUT YA HEADPHONES AND LISTEN. OR ON SUNDAY WHILE YOU CLEANIN YOUR HOUSE OR SOMETHIN. NIGGA SOUTHSIDE HOLDIN. NIGGAZ MAD BUT THA SOUTH GONE HAVE IT FOR A WHILE. HA

I'ma let ya'll fools know something.
Dr. Dre don't be making those beats. He got a team of like 12 dudes who really makes the beats he claims he produces. Everybody knows that Scott Storch really makes all of Dre's dope beats. All Dre can do is program drums. He don't really do shit.
D.J. Premier And Jay Dilla are what's up. And are we forgetting about Kanye.

The south ain't got no dope producers.

Texan, Preme doesn't just make laid back shit, he makes some hyped up shit too. I don't even listen to Royce, but can't deny that he's talented.

When JD use the word DOPEMAN he probably meant DOPE as in the SHEE-OT (the ish) lay off the drugs.

My favorite rapper is Nick Cannon. MC Hammer is a close second.

Co-signing everything the blogger said. Any top ten list that doesn't have JD on it(let alone scott storch) may as well be printed on extra soft paper,b/c it's only good for wipin' my a** with.

Does anyone know the name of that rap song down in atl it goes like "just do it do it, do it do it"?

Shady Aftermath G unit
