    We all know Kanye is a dope producer, has done some mad work for Jay Z, himself and others. But when comparing him to some of the greatest of all time, does he make the top 3? Top 5 even?

    Essentials:
    Dr Dre
    DJ Premier

    Strongly considered:
    RZA
    Pete Rock

    Fringe:
    J Dilla
    Q-Tip
    Havoc
    Madlib

    Kanye makes it for mine.

    My top 3 would be

    Nujabes
    Pete Rock
    Q-Tip

    Shoutout to Hi-Tek. He did the majority of Black Star's album and for that I am grateful. :ohno:

    Yeah Hip-Hop.

    IMO - Just looking at the work on his albums, his production has been exceptional.

    For sure mane, and he's been very consistent, top 3 for sure imo. I literally struggle to find a bad/mediocre kanye beat.
