Vibe's top hip hop producer bracket

http://vibe.com/hiphopproducer

Much better than the emcee brackets of the past. Most of the matchups here are on point.

Where's RZA ,Doom,DJ Premeir, and X-Ray?

Fuck em all to hell---Shaun, youre the greatest producer in hip hop!

I know, I know. Also, there's 4 sections at the top for different production styles. That's where everyone else is.

what's with the whale picture popping up eveywhere?

That was fun, I can't wait for round 2.

Yeah, there was actually a lot of tough matchups. Like Quik vs. Ant Banks and JMJ vs. Easy Mo Bee

Sill no Doom

Dre vs. Toomp, that bullshit wasn't even fair.

why on earth is Kanye a one seed and theres no Doom

and why is Just Blaze a higher seed than Alchemist AND Dilla

DAMN Havoc vs. The Beatminerz in the first round, thats some bullshit

Diamond D vs. Muggs is impossible too

and where is MADLIB AND DOOM

Well Toomp was in the wrong category - not that he had a chance, but he should have been with NEptunes and other hitmakers. I have a problem with a few of their categories. Also - P. Diddy and Every fucking producer he's ever hired? That's some bullshit.

Why'd they have to put my man Shondrae against Primo? Primo is obviously better (and Drae is not a fucking boom bap producer) but I voted for Bangladesh anyway (how often do I get to have Iowa bias). Toughest match up for me: Rick Rubin vs Beatnuts. Both criminally under-rated producer.

Exactly, 6 July, Amen-Ra, and D-Dot all have enough work on their resumes to get their own slots IMO. Also, if you think about it, doesn't that include all the Bad Boy South producers?

All you hoes...DOOM isn't even on El-P's level, who should have been in there.

REAL producers that should have made this cut IMO:

El-P
Madlib
Mike Dean (for christ's sake!!!)
Legendary Traxter

When you type in the letters s,t,y,l,e, and s into a string, you see the whale picture. It's a reference to KJ Styles, a poster on this forum. Also interesting is that if you type the letters n,i,c,k, and y into a string you get a picture of Andre Nickatina thinking. Think about that for a minute guys, and stop asking questions.

Haha don't blame me, I'm just the messenger.

The Erick Sermon and Daz matchup was tough. Both have too much classic material under their belts.

Yeah I'd put them over some of them other dudes.
They needed an Indie producer section for folks like Madlib, El-P, and Doom. I would've like to have seen Black Milk and Molemen.

I picked Daz though. Dude is a beast on those West Coast beats.

I picked Daz too.

The Boom Bap bracket is going to be insane when it gets down to the last two rounds

The Green Eyed Bandit beats Daz easily.

If you say that then you don't know what the fuck you are talking about cause that was one of the closest match ups for me and hardest decisions to make.

But I bet you don't own one daz solo album do you?

Once again you're talking out of your ass. I own Retaliation, Revenge, and Get Back, and RAW.

Erick Sermon is a Top 10-15 producer of all time. Daz is maybe Top 50 at best.

Name 50 producers better than Daz?

It's all personal preference. Just like you and Steve don't have Illmatic as a Top 100 album but everyone else in the world does. Just like you and Tran don't have KRS-One as a Top 100 MC but everyone else in the world does. Just like you hold the two hit wonders Ill Al Skratch in higher regard than the legendary Rakim. I doubt many more people outside of Ill Al Skratch's family share that opinion. I've got tons more examples to call you out on, but I'll stop there.

The guys that I bolded have LEGENDARY catalogs. And that was 40 producers exactly, which means Daz is in the Top 50. In any event, he's not as good as Erick Sermon.

Daz has a sterling catalog of classics. See there is where your bullshit comes to a head - I have no problem with Illmatic being considered a top 5 or GOAT album. Same with KRS.

But I am not obnoxious to the point I will sit here and make it seem like it's a no contest. That is disrespectful. Erick Sermon vs. Daz is a fair competition and there is no need to try to disrespeck Daz with your bullshit.

Those were some tough matchups, the latter was probably the toughest of the whole tourney. I went with Havoc and DD respectively.

I'm not disrepecting him. I'm just saying that Erick is a better producer IMO and apparently so did the people that made up the brackets, as evidenced by the seeding (#4 Sermon vs #13 Daz).

You said he beat him easily - that is bullshit and talking down like your bitch ass is known to do. Just apologize and move on.

Well there's at least 30 slots between E-Dub and Daz in my producer rankings, so I'd say that's fairly easily. And your bitch ass has been known to say some hella ridiculous shit, so just have a Coke and a smile and STFU.

I try to help you not be a hating azz bitch, but you remain so. Have it your way like BK bitch.

To you, it only seems to be hatin when it differs from your opinion.

Erick Sermon takes out Daz for me. It's not a blowout or anything for me, but it was definitely an easy choice. Oh, Muggs is easily better than Diamond D for the same reasons he's better than Havoc.

Well we know you are east coast bias terry - except when it comes to muggs - then you are west coast bias.
