Title: Right now Eminem might be 2nd best producer...

I think he is...I won't put him ahead of Dre but all the songs that Em produced in 2002 were dope, from the ones on his album, 8 Mile soundtrack and The Cross on Nas album...

I Think Em may have had tighter produced songs than Dre did.

I mean, songs like "Square Dance," "Till I Collapse" and "Soldier" are alll tight Em produced songs.  Then he did another banger like "My Name" for X.

The songs Dre did on Truth were nothing special except for "Push Play."  Same fo Em's album, "Business" was the only good Dre produced song.  X's album as well was nothing special.

Then again he kind of made up for his weak year with "In Da Club."

So I think in 2002 the songs Em produced were tighter than the ones Dre did.

He's not the 2nd best producer, he has a looooooooooooong way to go before he can be considered even close to that, sure he's one of your personal fav's but in reality he's no No.2. I am a fan of his production but be real here. Oh, and I don't see where some of you feel he's just another 'Dre sound-alike', he sounds nothing like Dre imo, he's rockier for a start, Dre is more funk orientated usually, he does layer his work well though, maybe Dre has something to do with that.....

DJ Quik

Plus many more but I just had to put his name in.

This is Hip Hop not Rock so the term "production" is a whole different thing since samples are a staple in Hip Hop and always will be. The bulk of classic material Hip Hop has created was formed from sampling.

Post by: Murrow on January 20, 2003, 12:49:22 PM
There are still many producers better then Em, that is for sure.  I'm just saying I think he was better then Dre in '02.

I also think The Neptunes were better than Em.
Title: Re:Right now Eminem might be 2nd best producer...
Post by: S.G.V. on January 20, 2003, 12:56:21 PM
easily Quik was better...so were the Neptunes and Timbo...Kanye West and Just Blaze...Mannie Fresh along with Jazze Pha produced much better...DJ Khalil was a star IMO...Bosko laced up beats nicely this year...cmon Eminem wasnt even close to the top ten...LMAO...

someone who is sampling is not producing, they're acting as a dj replaying a song, or being a cover band

Eminem was among the top 5 of 2002..

But on a larger scale, Eminem has a few years left of producing before he can be mentioned on these peoples level:

Dr.Dre
DJ Premier
Pete Rock
Alchemist
DJ Quik
DJ Muggs
RZA
Havoc
Erick Sermon
DJ Nottz
Jay Dee
Timbaland
Neptunes
MelMan
Scott Storch
Neptunes
El-P
Rockwilder

These are all veterans when compared to Eminem..
They all have a track-record that speaks for themselves, and if Eminem keeps his work-rate up, he can be mentioned in this same list.
I might even have forgot some producers, like P.Diddy or Jermaine Dupri, but they're not innovative enough to be put on this list, even if they had their fair share of hits.. too much of it was ripped off.

In the graduate-class, I see producers like Kanye West, Just Blaze, Rick Rock, Eminem, Kon Artis, Fred Wreck, Mike Dean and a few more..
They're just not quite there yet..

I know you like to pick on my posts, but don't foo yourself at the same time..

J.D. has always jocked somebody.. what style did he invent?
"Why you always gotta sound like the next man shit" - It's totally true, even if you probably don't like that line.. since Xzibit is no longer cool in your book.

Rick Rock has been producing for years, Yes thank you I know that.. but only in the later years has he found a sound that makes him *somewhat* innovative and fresh.
Peep his work before he got popular... not very interesting..

its not that i like to pick on ur posts...but i just dont agree with them...and lately ive been seeing a gang of ur posts that i cant agree wit...now...ive always found JD innovative...he was one of the only south cats bringin funk to that area at the time...i never heard a producer makin shit like JD...i mean just cuz Xzibit(ya big homie) says it...doesnt make it true...he was just dissing...i had never heard anyone sayin JD was jockin until X...oh and i always thought Rick Rock was makin good music...maybe its cuz u dont like that much Bay shit and love east coast shit u think that his prior to popularity music wasnt innovative...

Oh well, it's not like the first time J.D. has been accused of stealing/copying the trend that is "in" right now.
He's always been very Dre-influenced, but as I haven't heard all his productions, he might have had some innovative beats..

Rick Rock before producing for Jigga, was kinda  :-\
I was like  >:( when I saw him in the credits, but he did OK..
And he improved steadily after that.. (having Jigga & Def Jam behind you usually helps when you're a unknown producer)
But I ain't feeling all of his productions today neither, he just surprises me some times..
So therefore I'd say that he's still on the grind, but to mention him along with Dre, Premo, RZA, Havoc etc. is kinda (http://www.igangsta.com/yabbse/YaBBImages/thumbdown.gif)

I was saying that right now that Em is on top of his game as far as producing and might be 2nd best at the moment...Of course I wasn't talking careerwise where I would put people like RZA, Premier, Quik, Daz ,Timbaland, above him...But as far as in the last year Em has made some seriously dope beats, which is overlooked because of his rapping skills...

Tru eminem has had a great year no doubt....................but i still feel ppl like timbaland, neptunes, n otheres have had better years production wise..............but eminem is def startin to raise his game producin mo beats n it'll be interestin to see how he comes in 2003 on beats for his shady records artists, obie n 50 n who ever else he makes beats for........

Only 3 tracks he wasn't on, "The Cross", "Places To Go" & "8 Miles and Running", he was on the D12 and Xzibit tracks.

I know there were co-producer's for some of these, like the D12 track but I'd have to check, I did that list from memory.  I'm not sure if that's all he did.

Post by: LyRiCaL_G on January 22, 2003, 03:15:56 PM
thats another reason why i  dont beleive em is one of the best yet, he only made three beats, that he wasnt on........u gotta come with alot mo before u can call yaself a great producer, n produce tracks by yourself to, not with co producers n shit............

musicains dont matter, but when u get credited as co producer, its mean u also did alot of the beat to..........

but his still learnin his trade, 2003 is gonna be a interestin year in his development, but forget eminem, i cant wait for dre beats in 2003! man he got rakim, cube, 50, his own n others! gonna be real interestin...................but whats happened to mel man? i use to luv his shit
