hornorable mentions

timbaland-still needs a couple more years under his belt and he'll be a given on any list IMO

Daz Dillinger-if he can bounce back he can be a likely canidate

Fredwreck-if he can develope a sound of his own he can go places

Alchemist-he's on roll and i've only heard a couple of whack beats from him but again he's still a baby in this game

Battlecat-he's doing aright for himself all he needs to do is beef up his production and make it less repetative and he might be able to step up to that next level in a couple of years

el-p-my homie the8thilladelph aka xz has been tellin me about him for a while and i've been checkin this dudes stuff and it's pretty good, if he can add evolve more he could easily be up there
