| Pretty decent survey but I don't agree with P. Diddy being the best producer, especially infront of Dr. Dre and DJ Premier? No way. | |

That survey is pretty accurate. I don't disagree except for Puffy. If they do that survey now Eminem will dominate. Like I said. 98 was the last great year in hip hop. | |

It was done mid 97 so they only had 2 albums. No Aquemini or Stankonia yet. They would have to be a top 5 now |
