Your Top 3 music producers of all time


Recommended Posts

Well if you're talking about top 3 of all-time, I'd have to include some music pioneers that opened up the doors for urban music today:

1-James Brown

2-Ray Charles

3-Stevie Wonder

Honorable Mention would be the best producer in urban music over the last 20 years:

Teddy Riley-(he's produced hits for Big Daddy Kane, Slick Rick, Guy, Heavy D, Blackstreet, Keith Sweat, Wreckx-N-Effectz, Michael Jackson, and Foxy Brown among other big names in hip-hop/r&b over the last 20 years)

1. DJ Jazzy Jeff + A Touch of Jazz (JJ+FP, Jill Scott, Musiq, Floetry, Kenny Lattimore)

2. The Ummah (A Tribe Called Quest, Lucy Pearl)

3. Speech + Arrested Development (Arrested Developement, Speech, Gumbo, Laurnea)

The majority of their work is always flawless and timeless. The make the kinda music were i could listen 2 instrumentals ALBUMS worth of the stuff they do. They make the kinda music that never gets stale. There's no trends or obvious traces of when the track waz made.

Hotzappa, i gotta agree with u on Phil Spector. At least back in the '60's. These days he's busy killing girls in his house (if that's true).
