would u consider Pooh a legend? I would, considering the fact that he made claaassic shit with King T back in the day, produced "It Was a Good Day" + sum of the best songs on Dogg Food & Tha Doggfather. Not to mentioned that he wrote Friday and co-wrote San Andreas! (and working with Kam)
His album is also pretty good.

wonder why he isnt used more than he is. He is the kind of producer that comes tyte like 80% of the time
-
I don't know enough about him to determine that, but from what I know and heard from him he's fuckin tight
-
naw. i mean he deserves more credit that he recieves, but i dont really consider him a legent
on a side note: the words "legend" and "classic" dont stand for anything anymore

Damn, I thought everybody had forgotten about Dj muthafuckin Pooh. I wouldn't be able to speak for everyone in here, as everybody has their own opinions, but in my view hell yeah he'z a legend. His style is juz unique and does a tremendous job on everythang he does. "Bad Newz Travelz Fast" is a classic.
Anybody know what up with him these days? Any solo albums being released in tha future?

if Pooh´s a legend then Jinx is a legend aswell.
-
He' ain't a legend. Neither is Jinx. Talented producers, but not legends.
-
if Pooh´s a legend then Jinx is a legend aswell.
why? compare their career's.. pooh's work with king t+ cube + snoop + dpg puts him way way above jinx..

i rate dj pooh very highly.. he's a pretty versatile dude, has produced some of the dopest beats and worked closely with westcoast artists you's consider being llegends + he's also a talented writer aswell.. Think why some people sayin he aint up their with tha legends is because he's never really had tha exposure like alot of producers on the west has.
Anybody got his album aswell cos have never heard all of it..
-
Voted: oh fo sho

Legend? No. He's been too quiet, musicly, since the 90's to be a legend. His track record is strong, but it's not legend caliber.
-
Nope!

Yup
He's made some good music but legendary? That's for producers like Dre, Quik, Primo, cats like that who changed the game.

I THINK DJ POOH AND SIR JINX ARE LEGENDS. SO ARE EA SKI, STUDIO TON, ANT BANKS, AND QDIII
-
Dj pooh goes way back like 1986,him and Dj Slip was part of the L.A. Posse they produce the old school super group Uncle Jamm's Army plus Mix Master Spade,L.L. Cool J and The Real Roxanne plus many more

Voted 'a bit of'...

Outside of Dr. Dre, DJ Pooh held down most of the production of "hit" gangsta rap records that came out during the mid 80s to early 90s in the West Coast hip hop movement.

4 sho he is!!

yeah....I voted a bit of though since he a veteran/pioneer of Westcoast rap, but hes never really made any thing thats legendary...

pooh is definitely a legend. definitely great. dr dre has his name on a lot of stuff, but pooh has probably put in more work than dre. the original west coast sound was largely architected by pooh and the boogiemen. dre had the ruthless releases, n.w.a. and eazy e, but really that was it. pooh was all over early west coast acts like king tee, yo yo, del, kam and of course ice cube. pooh also did some work on the r&b tip as well, at a minimum i know he did some tracks on jade's "mind, body & song". he also did some tracks on pac's "all eyez on me", people have already mentioned his dogg food and lbc crew work.
dr dre is the biggest name on the west coast now, but that is because he eclipsed pooh in the early-mid 90's. pooh has branched out more than dre into other areas of entertainment, and definitely remains on par with quik or anyone else people like to call legends.
someone said quik changed the game. i really don't see how quik changed the game. imho quik carved out a nice little niche for himself. pooh shaped the west coast sound (l.a. atleast) in the late 80's and early 90's. give pooh his due.

DEFINITELY A LEGEND!
-
Hell yeah he's a legend..And he was also funny on "The Wash" ;D
-
did he ever diss spice 1??
-
that nigga was responsible for the first "friday" cube slid wit that but thats why it was never the same.
the first friday is the first and only real hood comedy flick.
he always came thru for snoop when dre wouldn't. beats. beats. hot shyt too!
kept charlie wilson in the loop, all them niggaz was hanging in poohs studio, alot of west coast meetings and colabs started out in poohs studio.
i always talk about that nigga diegoRedd from out of fresno ca, pooh took him to kevin lyles and the meeting was on some other movie shyt or somthing but he knew the kid was hot and real niggaz do real things. if he ain't what you call a legend, he's a real nigga and a very important part to the foundation that this westcoast shyt stands on. i know other people who really know what goes on behind the scenes..know...pooh is what legends are supposed to be.
uno!

Not a legend IMO, great producer with a great resume, but no legend... Compared to Dre, he doesn't have his own The Chronic... or Straight Outta Compton or Doggystyle for that sake. Bad Newz Travel Fast is a very good album, but far from classic. It had classic songs, but much of the album were average at most (IMO).
And his movie-career is overrated...he wrote all the Friday films,the first one was classic, second was good, third was wack... and he wrote and cirected 3 Strikes and The Wash, both pretty bad movies.
Am I the only one that doesn't think Today Was A Good Day is an amazing beat? It's hella overrated, New York, New York, When We Ride, No Idea, Nowhere To Hide, Whoop Whoop, Act A Fool ++ are all much better beats IMO...
My conclution, Pooh is a extremly talented muthafucka who's done many classics, but no legend...
All in my humble opinion of course ;)
-
Today was a good day was a COMPLETE loop though...if you hear the original Isley Brother's song, then you'd be like wtf......he REALLY didn't do a single thing to it but loop it, I don't even know if he added drums to it or EQ'd it.
Aside from that...it just depends what your definition of "Legend" is. There are the legends that are given that title because of the strong effect they've had mainstream wise with what they do, and because everybody knows who they are and recognizes them. Then there are those who were more less behind the scenes legends, where many people may have heard their name, but don't really know all that they did until they see the resume, and then they realize that they were doin major shit behind scenes. Pooh is more of the second type of legend than the first.

ok if it wasnt him then there was some poohman or some weird guy im not too familiar with that dissed speecy, im just curios

yeah agree. I think he is a legend aswell. He also seems real cool and down to earth when you see him in videos and such.
Friday and The Wash were also the shit 8)
