Title: Most underated Producer/s?
Post by: Vexer on March 08, 2011, 12:30:25 PM: To me its Easy Mo B. Dude is basically responsible for putting Bad Boy Records on the map.

He produced all Craig Mack as well as Biggie's early hits. In-fact without him there might have been no Bad Boy records.

He also did some production for Tupac on Me Against The World for joints like "If I die 2nite" & "Temptations".

The guy was also very accomplished musically coz he won a grammy for producing Miles Davis' last album. I'm surprised nobody even seems to mention him anymore.

For me, it's gotta be Erick Sermon. This dude has produced so many banging albums it's ridiculous. Plus his style was unique. For me he was like a more rugged East Coast Dr.Dre with all that FUNK.

Producers(beatmakers) have traditionally not been in the front or widely popularised unless they happened to also be the DJ and would be at the "rappers" performance.

not so sure about that bra, pretty sure Gabi Le Roux had something to do with it.

Post by: MrC The Rap God Almighty on March 10, 2011, 02:27:54 PM: D-REX does most of Mapaputsi's stuff, not Mandoza. Syn is right. Gabi did a lot of early Mandoza hits.

D-REX is the shit though. He also did Impilo kaLova
