Feb 27, 2021Been listening to a lot of J Dilla recently which got me to thinking about it. His beats barely ever need dubbing over to sound complete. Most of em are like well-crafted pieces of art. It'd be hard to measure the amount of influence he's had on hip hop and music production in general, as a lot of the modern aesthetic pays homage to his sound.
And, like a lot of hip hop producers, he also had a pretty extensive run as a rapper (Slum Village, Soulquarians, etc)
What rapper/producers can y'all think of that you'd rank among the best? Looking for personal choices as well as objective choices.
