If we ask this question to those 3 legends, i am sure 2 of them would say "no doubt, its dre" and they would heal down.pharrel also says that timbo has always been better than him and he can't compete with his catalog.anyway, i want to hear your thoughts on this my dubcnn family.dre is the best hip hop producer of all time to me. it is a fact to me! he dominated 3 decades of hip hop which made hip hop what we know now. but i don't feel like he has the best catalog ever. honestly i can see that dre only worked with a limited number of artists and mostly he stayed in hip-hop zone. he rarely produced music for different genres.pharrel also is a fucking genius. he is a fucking good musician and composer which makes him different than the other two. since late 90s i don't remember a fucking year that he came up with a hit. no matter what year it is or who artist it is, he always has a hit on billboard top song list.anyway, i have to take this out of my chest. if u ask me who has a better catalog. i have to say Timbaland. I can not count how many artist he produced and how many different kind of genres he fucked with. He even blessed madonna with a hit single in her 50s. To me timbo and pharrel looks almost same when it comes to having a wide catalog. but to me, timbo's catalog is more iconic. Pharrel did Rock your body for JT, but timbo did Cry me a river and sexy back. Pharrel did i just wanna love your for Jay Z but timbaland did "Dirt Off Your Shoulder" and "Jigga What". I can count more examples but let me hear what you will come up with.let's discuss.
I'm talking about the catalog. Not their production abilities or skills.Soopafly DPGC talked about longevity but we cant talk about a longevity about dre if its about last 15 years. But timbaland and pharrell are still making hits like they just getting started. Seems like dre feels he did what he did and its enough to be a legend. But timbo and pharrell still taking it very serious when it comes to longevity.
Timbo in my view. I remember a time when anyone could care less about Dre after the Aftermath compilation and firm dropped but mid 90s and all the way to late 2010s Timbo churning out the hits constantly for Missy, Aaliyah and everyone else and the most sought after producer on all major label album releases. That guy honestly made Jay Zs career featuring him on Lobster and Scrimp then later on giving him those beats on Vol3. If it was no Timbo beats who was checking for Jay after Reasonable doubt and Vol1
yeah i suppose more of a cominbation of Timbo & Swizz and then Neptunes really . But really you know Big Pimin, Hey Papi and Is that yo put Jay on the map and cemented him as the top artist after the initial irv gotti can you bounce single which were all Timbo. Then once he made it to the top on hot producer beats, next up were the newcomers Neptunes, Kanye and Just Blaze. And as soon as they shipped out the music production and hits is meh.
