Kurupt produced like 3 (so much style, never leave me alone, etc.) tracks wtf how can he be underrated lmao.

Define underrated though, are we talking largely ignored by the mainstream (makes sense if we're talking about producers) or by the industry (dope producers with a solid catalog but who often go unnoticed), my definition is closer to the latter.

a lot of these producers are either considered either 1) legendary (no id, buckwild, showbiz) 2) go-to producers with solid résumés (bink, nottz, dj toomp) 3) superproducers (statik selektah), i don't think the term "overlooked" applies to them

How are Statik Selektah or Alchemist underrated? Nobody who really knows about Hip Hop would question their contributions.

i didn't think we could include west coast producers since we're in the out of bound section, so I'll add a slew of underrated west coast producers :

The Mekanix
DJ Babu
VMF
Paris
Sean-T
G-Man Stan
Sam Bostic
Mike Mosley
E-A Ski
Mac Pacino (from Mac & AK, R.I.P.)
Bosko
CMT
Binky Mack
Ice Cube
K-Lou
Sonny B. & Mike D. (Oakland producing team, the delinquents, etc.)
Tone Capone
One Drop Scott
Studio Ton
Traxamillion
Quazadelics
Indecent the Slapmaster
Khayree
Ant Banks
Shorty B.
Pee Wee
Shock G.
Criccet
Blaqthoven

I disagree with Battlecat being underrated, dude is hailed as a westcoast legend everywhere he goes, he has a distinctive sound and has a gang of platinum plaques.

non-westcoast :

Bud'da
Sam Sneed
Mr Sche
LT Moe
Mike B. (produced for Trinity Garden Cartel)
Precise (Big Boy Records in-house producer)
Doggmaster
DJ AK
Sovan

Pimp C isn't exactly underrated or overlooked. Scarface, on the other hand is rarely mentioned or acknowledged for his producing skills because everybody thinks of him as a rapper first and foremost despite having produced several classics.

les is considered a legend tho, but yea, in the mainstream he hasn't done as much as he could

I always thought Nottz was very underrated - hes got so many of dope productions on various top albums. Always happy to see him in the credits.
