[Dre-Day]

thats a pretty lame question. define producer.

In the music industry, a record producer or music producer has many roles, among them controlling the recording sessions, coaching and guiding the musicians, organizing and scheduling production budget and resources, and supervising the recording, mixing and mastering processes. This has been a major function of producers since the inception of sound recording, but in the later half of the 20th century producers also took on a wider entrepreneurial role.

The music producer could, in some cases, be compared to the film director in that the producer's job is to create, shape and mold a piece of music in accordance with their vision for the album.

i would classify him as a wack producer......

[Shallow]

There is nothing wrong with his production skills. He's no different than anyone else. It's his composing skills you guys are questioning, and yes he's shitty composer, but so is Dre, and Primo, and Kanye, and Pete Rock. Eminem is like a decent movie director that either a) gets shitty scripts or b) tries to write his own scripts and can't pull it off. When he chooses someone else's great script and directs it like he did Sing For The Moment it sounds fine because the sample sounds fine.

I think Eminem is pretty decent!!  I always look forward to hearing new records produced by Him, in whatever capacity!

i would classify him as a hit/miss producer. cant deny he produced some good songs, was he worthy to produce pacs album? imo i dont think so.

[everlast1986]

If he oversees the whole project of a song or album then yeah i would classify him as a producer.

What if like most rappers today produced and made their own beats though? so I think he did pretty good in that direction

yeah i was wondering if people think Eminem gets the credit he deserves, or that he should have gotten less.
