Producers are really the Magic behind the Music.

They are responsible for some of the greatest hits in Hip-Hop culture, and deserve a lot more respect.

1: DJ Premier.

2: 9th Wonder.

3: J Dilla

4: RZA.

5: Kanye West.

6: Dr. Dre.

7: DJ Jazzy Jeff.

8: DJ Quik.

9: Havoc.

10: Hi-Tek.

11: Q Tip.

12: MF Doom.

13: DJ Shadow.

14: Grand Master Flash.

15: Timbaland.

16: Missy Eliot.

17: Rick Rubin.

18: Pete Rock.

19: Marley Marl.

20: Large Professor.

21: Prince Paul.

Play an important part in the industry.

I feel as though some forget who they are, and how important the role they play in the culture is.

^ My personal favorite Producers of all time.

Producers are just as important as the Artist, and we should always view them as such.

What are your thoughts about the master minds behind Hip-Hops classics?

Don't forget Just-Blaze and Mannie Fresh...

@dccomicsrule2011: There's a lot more than that haha hiw could I though x)

Yeah, and DJ Mustard too!

Get out of here with that sh!t...

MUSTARD ON DA BEAT HOE!

Mustard can crawl back into the jar from whence he came.

List is pretty spot on, although I would have had Madlib and The Neptunes on there as well.

No Just Blaze or The Neptunes ?

And why the fack is Jazzy Jeff so high on the list ? Over Timbaland or MF Doom ?

@king_saturn: it's not in any specific order.

Well when you create a list like that... it almost seems that it is. Especially with names like DJ Premier and 9th Wonder at the top which would seem on point for a list.

@king_saturn: They are part of my favorite 6 that's why they were first.

Lol I don't get the love for Mustard. He is like Lex Luger and Young Chop, once you hear one of his beats you pretty much heard them all (Ill admit I do like Lex and Chop beats if given to somebody decent) Anyway I would go as far to say that Mike Will and Boi1da are better than Mustard.
