bigted Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 (edited) Teddy Riley's a better rapper than P.Diddy, JD, and Timbalad are, did you ever hear "Rump Shaker"? Teddy Riley doesn't rap much, he's more of an r&b singer, but when he spits, it's tight, and he produced hits for some of the best like Janet, Big Daddy Kane, Heavy D, JJFP, Keith Sweat, and many countless others. We might as well put Will Smith on a rapper/producer list if we're gonna put Eminem 'cause Will Smith produced the Wild Wild West and Men In Black Soundtracks like Eminem produced the 8 Mile Soundtrack. How can Kanye West be #1? His career hasn't been that long yet! Dr.Dre would have to be #1 in my opinion 'cause he's had a great career.

Da Brakes Posted June 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 I think your getting confused! Will was executive producer on those soundtracks which means he oversaw what made it onto the album and what didn't. He didn't actually make the beats for the album. That is what i mean by the term 'producer'. A person who physically makes the beats themselves. Eminem is well known now for making beats. He has done so for artists such as Jay-Z, 50 Cent, Obie Trice and D12. I think people are missing the point of this post! When i say producer/rapper i mean somebody who is well known for doing both. And to at least have an album out to showcase their rapping abilities!! Not somebody that has rapped on a couple of tracks. I've made a couple of beats myself but i would no way considermyself a producer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpinJack AJ Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 I waz just listing producers...i replyed 2 this post early in the morning and didn't even notice the "rapper" part of it...ha ha. I don't count many people as producers and rappers cuz they usually lack in one of the feilds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildWildWillennium Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 I'd have 2 say Kanye West is one of the best producer/rapper out today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His verse was tight on that song! :rock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpinJack AJ Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 I wouldn't consider P. Diddy cuz his rap skills are average 2 bad depending on the track. And he's not really a producer cuz all he dose is jack beats. And Eminem just started producing...and all the trax i've heard produced by him sound almost exactly the same.
