I saw someone mention Hi-Tek as versatile, so I thought I make a post about the non-versatile/repetive producers.
The definition of a non-versatile producer:
A producer who sticks to one sound, and uses the same instruments and sounds over and over again.
Easy to spot also.
This does not necessarily need to be a bad thing though.
I think:
* Battlecat - Very easy to spot - his sounds is getting played out
* Hi-Tek - Often easy to spot because of the drum-pattern
* Neptunes - They are repetive, and rarely strays far away from their formula
* DJ Premier - Easy to spot, with his raw sampled style
* Fred Wreck - Often easy to spot when he does his Dre-impression
All of these producers are dope, but they're easy to spot often, and Battlecat definately needs a new style, or at least a new drum & string-pattern.
-
I don't think Fredwreck is repetitive at all. He uses all sorts of live instruments Dre doesn't. Just look @ the "Space Boogie" & "Bones" credits.
Battlecat though is starting to get played out. All his beats I'm hearing now sound the same.
Same goes for The Neptunes.

Every producer alive is Easy-to-spot...Some are more than others, but nonetheless every producer is easy to spot...Including WCC producers ;D
-
primo is repetive but i wont hold that against him cuz his shit is always dope
-
DJ Paul & Juicy J.....that is the epitome of what you're talking about right there.
-
Fredwreck isnt repetitive at all. He comes wih different sounding ish all the time.
-
i have an idea.. who cares!
-
You think Hi-Tek sounds repetitive? Lol, how much shit of his have u actually heard? Maybe the doggystyle alstars CD, Duces N Trayz and hollywood. Yeah they sound somewhat similar (apart from eastside ridaz and are you ready) but have you heard his stuf on soundbombing 2 or train of thought? dount it as they both sound different to what hes done for the west at the moment, they just might be the beats snoop wanted as he digs off beat funky shit
-
Most producers got their own style and become quite easy to spot when u listen to their shit for a while. Dre's dope as fuck but he's repetitive too

lots of people are repetitive but also alot of times u can tell by the style of the beats...when u hear the jazzy funked out beats u know its quik...u hear the dark gloomy beats u almost know for sure its alchemist...u hear the heavy bass filled beats u know its bosko...
-
yeah u can spot hitek beat pretty eazy u just gotta check the drums he uses
but here is the top 3 repetive producers i know
1. swizz beatz (even though he fooled me on styles "good times" but all his other tracks sound the same)
2.neptunes
3. battlecat
-
Dr. Dre is really repetitive.
-
Daz Dillinger - He's one of my favorite producers but I can recognize his melodies cuz he often uses the same kind of instrument
-
Word when it comes to the Neptunes. ALmost everything is the same.
-
Yeah put Dre up there, but take Fredwreck off that list. Battlecat is the mos repetitive producer i know, but i like his beatz though. soopafly and daz got the same sound IMO
-
dr dre
-

peace

-
word, dre basically showed other producers to milk their style for everything its worth.
i'm sick of hearing how great he is.
*waits for the dickriders*
i'm wondering why hi-tek is on that list....

The topic-title: Easy to spot

the problem with that is hes not repetitive.
-
the problem with that is hes not repetitive.
Still easy to spot though :P
-
dr.dre, battlecat, neptunes, and timberland are all repetive..you can easily tell when you hear a new beat from one of them that its theirs...although if you want to get tecknical, all producers do sound repetive one time or another but those 4 i just mention are the very common ones
