gotta be El-P for sure

has produced for all of the big names in underground hip hop such as Cage, Cannibal Ox, Aesop Rock, Mr. Lif, Murs, etc

he pretty much has a patent on the sci-fi/apocalyptic sound

as a rapper he doesn't have the best flow in the world but his lyrics are pretty damn good


check out this kick ass video from his solo debut from like 6 years ago:

"Deep Space 9mm"
 

Chrono

polyphonically beyond me

actually Funcrusher was one of the dopest lyrical albums. But I agree, after that album he became much more abstract.. el is dope

it took me a long time to get into his latest LP 'I'll Sleep When You're Dead'

at first it sounded like a lot of noise..but after time it all the layers revealed themsevles to me

at the moment my favorite song has to be the overly dramatic truth..it is fucking intense

here is a pretty dope live version of it:

I would have to go with Mike Dean.

I think Mike Dean gets down too. Read an article not too long ago with Scarface and he said basically that Mike Dean can't produce for nothing (said he was a dope engineer). Apparently, he's attached his name onto a lot of tracks that other producers have actually made, Face himself being one of them. But then again, isn't that how it usually goes?

^^^^^^ i dunno about that .. mike dean was largely responsible for kanye "graduation' album .. did alot of the instrumentation. if he wasnt worth his weight i dont think that major artists would fuc with him.

interesting. the production is the only thing i like about kanye's music. can't stand him as a rapper
