who u got?

[doggfather]

bc

[Jay_J]

i think its not so fair to compare BC and Warren. you can compare warren with dre, quik, daz... you can also compare bc with meech wells, jelly roll, fredwreck...

warren produced hits which rocked the whole world, which hit the charts in number one.

bc is a fucking great musician and a genius in beatmaking, he does amazing complex productions and i bet warren is a fan of him, like any other legends in beatmaking that i know they are a bc fan.

battlecat is better than daz

hes also very comparable to warren in terms of catalogue.... just look at all those hits. that range is epic.

who’d u vote for?

[HighEyeCue]

voted for Battlecat..he is just under Dre and Quik imo

[bouli77]

In terms of versatility, musicianship, signature sound it's not match really, Battlecat is hands down the best producer.

Battlecat is in the same league as Quik. He's a musician and a technician. He has a deep knowledge of music equipment, he is an engineer in his own right, he can play several instruments, he can play the talkbox and he mixes his own shit. Very comparable to Quik. His knowledge and skills surpass Warren's. He is a mentor to dope musicians / technicians ala 1500 or Nothin' / Terrace Martin.

Warren is dope in his own right but he's in the same league as Daz, which is in my opinion under Quik and Battlecat's echelon. He came up in a very innovative era within a very innovative camp. He was a representative of a subculture that was blowing up nationwide and that's what made him dope too. Musically, he has a great ear and impressive musical culture but he's no technician. He can work out the MPC, play a little keyboards but he needs dope ass session musicians like  Greg Geitzenauer, Sean Barney Thomas, Carl Butch Smalls and engineers like Greg Geitzenauer to make his music sound crisp and dope and you can tell that, like Daz, his inspiration has more or less dried up along the years (a lot of hit or miss output). Whereas Battlecat's sound keeps getting crisper (even though his early productions are among his best). G Dub got dope concepts and produced seminal G-Funk albums (The Twinz' Conversation, which is Warren's heyday as a producer) but on the whole, he's not as skillful as Battlecat.

Warren G's most famous songs (namely Regulate, The Definition of a Thug Nigga, Indo Smoke) are more famous than Battlecat's but Battlecat's catalogue in terms of quantity and consistency is superior, IMO. It's interesting to see that some of the songs you mentioned on Warren G's 40 range from average to pretty good, some are forgettable and some are taken from his own albums. Personally, among his best productions, I'd have added : DFC's Things in Tha Hood, Still Can't Fade It (from The Show OST).
Among BC's best productions, I'd have added E-40's Get Breaded (feat. Fat Joe & Sauce Money), Domino's Sweet Potato Pie, Poppa LQ's Die Like a G or Live like a Trick + Neighborhoodsta Funk, Daz's It Might Sound Crazy (Remix), Quo - Quo Funk, Snoop Dogg - Ballin' (feat. Lil HD & The Dramatics), King Tee's The Game (It's Ruff), I Smooth 7 - Coolin' In Tha Ghetto, WC's Hog & Tears of a Killa, E-40 & Too $hort's Do U Remember (feat. Kurupt). which goes to show that, imo, Battlecat's catalogue is deeper and doper. Warren G is among my very favorite producers but, just like Kurupt when it comes to MCing, his prime was shorter than BC's.

It'd be interesting to make a tier list of westcoast producers.

^^ i heavily disagree

warren g and battlecat are both right under dre and quik .... and where battlecat definitely has stayed consistent and has way more bangers overall, i will take warren g’s best work over battlecat’s really, warren is like a mini dre while battlecat is like a mini quik. so while battlecat may be better as a pure musician, warrens best productions can be put against anyone’s in hip-hop history. not to mention, warren has produced his share of classic albums top to bottom, and has more universal hits too. on that note, i’m taking mid 90s warren over bc....not by much tho.

[Duck Duck Doggy]

Very interesting thread and comparison. Two of the greatest producers from the West ever. Both have classics for days. But because I prefer Battlecat catalogue and his innovative sound I voted for BC

[Fonky Fresh]

I agree with the consensus Dre <> Quik it's all the same to me, Dre was more succesful commercially is all.

Warren G <> Battlecat

I'd take Warren G catalogue over BC but maaan I Smooth 7 Lp is pure  dope or Battlecat unreleased album. The only hiatus being Battlecat can't rap (or barely), Warren did control the mic a little.

Underrated WG prod i listen these days: Dollar Make sense ft Kurupt Crucial Conflict:

[Funkstradamus]

<====== you already know who i voted for...   That said, Warren's early production (Twinz album, his first album, Mista Grimm single) are flawless, gold-standard G-Funk classics.  As far as consistency.  Battlecat hands down, he has almost 30 years worth of hits...

[Sccit]

battlecat killin the polls

[dnjp4life]

I thought this might be one of those producer battles that's been doing the rounds, this definitely needs to happen 

Battlecat for me.  I like Warren G's productions, and he's obviously a pivotal figure when it comes to west coast rap, but he hasn't really produced proper bangers like Battlecat has. 

Warren G's production tends to be of the smoother G-funk variety, but Battlecat has produced some of the greatest, most hardest beats of all time that you can really feel and play loud as hell in the stereo/car.

Beats like G'd Up, Trust Nobody, It's Ruff, The Vapors Remix, Back Up Off The Wall from The Game's Documentary 2.5, Marinatin' etc is some of the best shit ever in my opinion, definitely equal with Dr. Dre or DJ Quik's best productions.  On the other hand, I would say Warren G is more well known by your average listener, especially with his worldwide smash Regulate and his other commercial successes.

Some of the tracks listed I have never heard, so I definitely need to do my homework on those - I can't believe Cat produced a Tom Jones record  .

[Funkstradamus]

DJ Battlecat has been live on Instagram every couple days during the quarantine and everyone's been asking him to do a battle but he said he won't ever do one.
