Best West Coast Producer of All Time? (REAL Poll)

[CRAFTY]

I'd say Dre is one of the best producers, but in my opinion Quik is the best West Coast producer.

[Oklin]

if so.. then Madlib

[The "Untouchable" DJR]

Quik...

[eazye]

Have to go with Dre, because I got a lot more Quik stuff to listen to.

And I really think that Ant Banks should've been here.He's very tallented.

for me dre , quik and daz lead the way in the west

i voted daz, to me hes been makin tht west coast sound most consistantly

quik is a god though and well dre............

Dr.Dre, i mean most of those guys wouldn´t have been discussed as great producers if it weren´t for Dre. if you vote Warren G or Daz you´re basically voting for Dre aswell. and would Quik have made all of this amazing music if Dre hadn´t paved the way for him and that sound or would he have gone in a different direction? i´m voting for Dre coz since 85 he´s been dropping dope shit and he´s still doin it way bigger and better then everybody else on this list. if it would´ve been the best beat maker i prolly would´ve gone with Quik but as we all know producing is a lot more then just layin beats down. and we all know that Dre has no competitiom what so ever when it comes to gettin the best outta artists and that´s a HUGE part of producing that everybody else on this list lacks.

Yeah, that's one of the main reasons I picked Dre.

Three or four years ago, I would have easily said DJ Quik....but since I am a producer, I am startin to look at everything that goes along with production itself. Aside from the music itself, it has to do with how you make songs come together, your pickiness in working with artists and being hard on them to make them sound their best, your impact and overall catalogue, along with how much your are imitated and how much you pave the way.

If you asked, who is the best musician as a producer, I'd say DJ Quik all day every day, even though Dre can be musical when he chooses to. But I think I started to feel Dre was the best producer overall when I heard NWA Straight outta compton in it's entirety, and I realized that Quik's style when he first came out was HEAVILY influenced by what Dre did on there...everything from the samples, to drums, to how he scratched. Quik does bring the best out of many artists, such as Suga Free and Chingy, but Dre has done it to nearly every artist he has worked with. Quik has more albums and they are all strong, but Dre's two albums still top all of Quik's.

Dre brought you "The Chronic" & "Doggystyle"... this is a no brainer.  Dr. Dre is best of all-time in West Coast HIP HOP period!

[wcsoldier]

 The pb with this thread is that some still confuse producer and beatmaker..... I go with Dre without a doubt
