Madlib is beyond Kanye's level

>>47189572
Pete Rock, Madlib, Q-Tip, J Dilla, RZA, El-P, DJ Premier to name a few. All better than Kanye imo.

The Bomb Squad, 40, early TImbaland

This has just become a one size fits all response for whenever you disagree with someone.

>>47191913
you're a fucking lame-o i hope you know that

like i understood the whole fedora comment but now it just means "i don't agree"

>>47189572
Pretty much everyone lol. Kanye's best beats of aren't even produced by him, instead they go to guys like Common.

>Electronic music is crap and repetitive and made on computers so it's not real music
>Doesn't Kanye make teh good beats?

GARBAGE ASS TASTE

>>47192065
So many nights I was fucked up listening to this song.
STRAIGHT OFF THE BLOCK WIT IT
This is actually a really good song, I dont care what /mu/ says.

>>47192258
wait deezle lemme just get the 808

>>47192065
Wow this is complete garbage

>>47189572
Just Blaze would be the closest comparison
DJ Paul and Juicy J were revolutionary

The worst part about being a Kanye fan is when you see delusional people shit on other artists you like in an attempt to make Kanye seem better than he is

>>47192688

>>47192065
I like Kanye but that beat is awful. Out of the few of his collabs I've heard, this is my favorite and one of my favorite beats of his. It also takes me back so hard.

This has always been my favorite Kanye beat

Pretty much everything on LR was immaculately produced

>>47192811
Sure is summer in here. This post is the only correct answer.

>>47192977
So Dilla is good, so is Kanye

Why do you want to prove yourself as a non-fanboy when you are wearing that shitty username

You're fucking disappointing, just drop the trip already

I wasn't aware that re-purposing stolen samples constitutes "composing"

you need to get a hold of a dictionary as soon as possible then

>>47193135
I do, actually

>>47193087
What's your problem man?

Dilla was incredibly talented, one of those virtuoso-type musicians who seem to have been born to create music. Undoubtedly, Kanye is a great producer, but he tends to rely on other artists to provide him with material to augment/alter to achieve his final product. The person who posted this is probably trolling, but to suggest that Kanye is the greatest producer in hip-hop is kind of disrespectful to the greats, like Dilla.

i'm sorry based friendo but your post didn't make sense

This is right though

In addition to the aforementioned:

Mobb Deep, Mos Def, Digable Planets, The Bomb Squad, J-Swift, Clams Casino, Yung Gud, Friendzone, Yung Sherman, Suicideyear, MF DOOM, Blue Sky Black Death, Lil Ugly Mane

>>47193193

i like friendzone and a bunch of those producers but

lol

>>47192763
I don't get why he's singing the hook. Did kanye not want to be in the video?

>no Pimp C

you need to relisten through Kanye's discog if you seriously believe that. Half of these guys don't even have enough material to be considered. They also pretty much all just have one sound. Kanye has made all sorts of beats that are all quality.

To answer your question though; the Tribes and Main Source

>>47191913
I don't understand you kanye fags, does kanye really have to be the be all end all of music and rap period? Any time someone even suggests that kanye is not the best by a landside, the kanyefag butthurt begins to flow. I mean he really can't just be a "good" artist you guys like, he literally has to be THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME?

>>47191913

I produce beats better than Kanye every time I go to the bathroom and take a shit.

>>47189572
every memerapper sounds the same
all rap is memerap, the only "music" basketball-americans can do is memerap
kanye "talentless hack" west is on the same level as all memerappers because all rap is memerap and that's cheaper/inferior version of music because they can't into real music, they can't into singing
all they do is memerap because all blacks are too dumb to make actual music

>Undoubtedly, Kanye is a great producer, but he tends to rely on other artists to provide him with material to augment/alter to achieve his final product.
To not collaborate with whomever you think will make the final product better means you're not doing your job as well as you can.

Kanye's beats to me are always way more interesting and memorable than Dilla's. To me Donuts is one of the most overrated hip hop albums.

>>47193193
>The Bomb Squad

Their music has aged terribly.

>>47193348
okay I would love to hear you back up this opinion somehow.

Literally any instrumental hip hop artist

>>47196768
just because a production team has made certain beats better than certain others of an artist doesn't make them a better artist.. Simon Says is my favourite beat of all time, but that doesn't make Pharoe a better producer than Premo

>>47197985

>>47198004
no u

>>47198016
no, fuck YOU

>>47191246
But this is objectively right.
All Kanye does it the exact sample of the songs. Only difference it he adds drum kicks and makes the vocals high pitched

I think RZA is better.

>>47198123
I wish he'd switch it up already. He's shown no type of progression as a producer for well over 2 decades. Not quite as bad as DJ Premier but he's getting there.

It's like in the backlash and hate against his dickriders everyone has completely forgotten or ignored how many unique and and awesome beats Kanye has done

>>47198028
While many of his most famous beats in the past have done that, you are totally ignorant to make that generalization.

>>47198076
>>47198154
kek

>>47198141
he's great. Really influential but I'm gonna give it to Kanye

So I finally listened to MBDTF and it was shit.

"Oh look at me I made a fool of myself at an awards show but I'm the victim holy shit look how many samples I can shove into this album!"

Die.

>>47189572
Dilla, DJ Premier, DJ Shadow

>>47198320
they're as good, but how can you claim they're better?

>>47197948
I don't like most hip-hop, though.

>>47196674
I'm a huge fan of hip hop in general but I do legitimately believe Kanye is the best producer in hip hop. I've just never heard anyone with the ability to make beats as consistently excellent as his are, I don't dislike a single beat on any of his albums and none of the ones he's worked on outside of his own albums.
But I liked Yeezus so feel free to disregard my opinion completely

>>47198431
He's honestly got the most unique source of samples that I'm aware of. Looking at DG on whosampled is entertaining. Kanye just uses soul music for the most part, besides a Daft Punk song, Can, and that Romanian song at the end of one of his.

I remember this album blowing my mind and thinking Kno was the best producer since Primo
but his sound never really changed

>>47189572
RZA, Primo, Madlib, Stoupe, Dre, the list goes on

>>47198668
Dre was great originally but 2001 sounds generic by today's standards.

>>47198693
Still D.R.E is timeless and The Next Episode, Forgot About Dre and The Message all have fantastic beats too. There's not a single track on 2001 that doesn't have a dope beat.

>that 21st century schizoid man sample on power

do you think kanye actually listened to the whole in the court of the crimson king album? i'd love to hear him sample the court of the crimson king somehow.

>>47198821
He at least claims to listen to buttloads of rock music.
