Q&A: Best 5 Rap/Hip Hop Producers ever?

Question by Skinny Cartman [J Dilla 4 Life!]: Best 5 Rap/Hip Hop Producers ever?
who and why?

mine is

1. Dre (nobody better, most experience, i know when he raps people write his rhymes, but he adjusts them, but he aint a rapper, he a producer, i know he has collaborators when he produces but he only takes ther ideas into ACCOUNT. he is the producer to produce more tracks than any other producer ever and he has produced for so many different styles and nailed it on the head. plus he is the original and king of Gangsta rap production, there would be no NWA to inspirate so many rappers without him, therfore we owe 80% of the rap game to him.

Marley Marl – He is Dj Premier’s main influence and inspiration, so we wouldnt have the dj premier we all know and love today without him, he has his own style that nobdoy else does, he’s unique

Dj Premier – He has his own style aswell, and nobody is like him, also unique and uses sounds nobody thought would ever be used in hip hop.

J Dilla – REAL soul production, makes you feel like the music is a part of you, he had so much passion for the music, so much dedication, and still throughout his unsuccessful career he carried on making some of the best music EVER.

Pete Rock – Never ever had a wack track, or never hadan average track like the others i mentioned, he was always on the top of his game and never gave a poor pice of production.

yours?
