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.

Yeah that's true, and I agree that Run-DMC deserved to be there too. They are responsible for the evolution of hip-hop.
