Pharrell – Frontin
KING
Lil’ Wayne and Young Money were rolling through Texas with marijuana on tour buses, according to the U.S. Border Patrol. No drugs were found on Wayne himself or anyone else in Young Money’s entourage.
Officials tell us a drug-sniffing K-9 unit picked up the scent outside the bus. Agents then walked the dogs onto the bus, where they located the weed.
So far, no arrests have been made.
Clipse made him jumpoff

I think Kanye should of been 2nd to the Neptunes…you can’t deny they produce songs perfect for certain artists…Kanye makes good beats but it seems more that the artist is lucky if they get on the track or if they were able to get that good track b4 someone else.
Just Blaze could of been on there he ain’t really do as much at the end of the decade but he came out gunnin’ at the beginning…I don’t understand how Swizz Beatz didn’t get on the list. Then again, Trackmasters and Darkchild didn’t make it on there either…not a big fan of Scott Storch but he can produce good R&B tracks.
THEY FORGOT ABOUT DRE!
Dr.Dre shld be up there.. atleast in the top 5
also everyone on the list don’t only do hip-hop beats .
dont get me wrong dre does have some 50 and em stuff but i don’t think its enough.
Let Me Blow Ya Mind
Without Me
In da Club

Xzibit – X
Busta Rhymes – Break ya Neak
D12 – Fight Music
Eve – Let me blow your mind
Mary J. Blige – Family Affair
Truth Hurts – Addictive
50 Cent – In Da Club
Obie Trice – The set up
Gwen Stefani – Rich Girl
Eminem – Just Lose It
Eminem – Mosh
Eminem – Encore/Curtains
50 Cent – Outta Control (Remix)
The Game – How we Do
Jay-Z – Lost One
not all hit songs but there not bad right ?
Rid us of your stupidity and kill yourself. Seriously.
50’s shit outsold all of that so that list ain’t even relevant!
dre and em should be on the list because all of em’s material came out in this decade…(well most of it)
5o’s and games too!! plus aload more from dre like busta and eve
Listen to Relapse’s beats, that right there proved the man still got it and can still produce the shit out of an album!
Co sign!
So again, ask yourself the question, if there was a greatest of all time list for producers made, how many of these producers would be on that list based on one of the criterias that I KNOW will be there if that list is ever made, which would be consistency? Prolly none, except Yeezy in my opinion.
And yea for me, Yeezy should have been number one as well on this list, what hes done this decade, is freakin insane, everybody bang his albums, and hes made fucking great music. Props to Yeezy!
Billboard made a good list for their criteria, which is hits
BUT dope shit wise:
Dre
Primere
No Id
Yeezy
9th
Madlib
Etc etc
And yeezy is number one because he belongs on both lists
I thought somebody would say souljaboy or zaytoven is the best producer by now
Nothing, everything they touch is hot .. for a while.
Name one person who do the following things :
producing hits Constantly – directing the video clips – coordination between his label and the TV channels – and have a criminal past !!!!!!!!!!
Irv gotti has it all … we don’t have a janitor here in our murder inc building , Irv is the Janitor !!
Irv Gotti you are my god
Unlike other rappers he’s always participating in the production process
Fat joe ghost-produced the monkey’s hit " candhy shop "
the interpolations of " Lean Back " and " candy shop " are very clear , and according to Scott Storch Fat joe contributed in making that Beat …
to make a long story short the monkey aka 50 cent and by dissing Fat joe , he was just biting the hand that’s feeding him !!!!
