The producer outshining the MC

Can you think of any songs where the producer stole the show from the MC? On the mic that is.

Any album by Jeru, Group Home, Pete Rock and CL Smooth.

While Premo and Pete Rock are GOAT producers, I disagree with the Jeru and CL Smooth picks.

I'd say the majority of Cash Money albums.

Although I edited it, I was talking about the producer outshining the MC on the mic.

I think Havoc outshined Prodigy on Amerikaz Nightmare.

And Infamy too.

Ah, well you edited it... on the mic it'd be a short list.

Group Home definitely!

Definitely not outshining, per se, but I've always loved Hi-Tek's verse on The Blast.

His verse was very good on that song.

Slang, when you go from dropping 5 star classics to droppin' mediocre albums because of 1 diss, you're done but that's just my opinion.

Return Of The Mac was dope, I cosign with that.

Return Of The Mac was dope, I cosign with that.

He's recovered slightly, but there will never be a 1990s P again.

Now, I also cosign with this too, simply because overall, Prodigy hasn't been the same since "Takeover". It reenergized Nas, but left P a shell of his former self.

Prodigy was already on the decline when takeover dropped, but he's rebounded nicely.

When I listen to Prodigy I expect Infamous, Hell On Earth, Murda Muzik and HNIC. When was the last full length effort that he has come close to that?

He might've been.

Honestly, none.

I'm sure RZA's qualified for this on more than a few occasions. Celph Titled...Doom...

Bong Bong Bong, Thong Thong Thong

Where do I start?

I agree. And while I can't think of any specific examples off the top of my head, I know there's been a song or two where J.J. Brown did too.

yea RZA and DOOM have definitely done this

No, they haven't. Ever.

4th Chamber. 'Nuff said

Yeaaaaah...no. Definitely...no. Try again.

Wu-Gambinos

4th Chamber Rza probbly does have my favorite verse they're all close though

and DOOM has easily done this countless times...
