2005's Hip-Hop Producer of the Year, Goes to... Options

[*Statistik*]

Kanye West
What more can I say? He gained all his fame not only from Rapping, but importantly, producing as well. Some artists he produced for was John Legend & Common. His beats are a classic for sure. I think he is a big influence to all the producers out there in the game. He sure might deserve it.

Dr.Dre
Dr.Dre is one of the most successful, and well-known producers of hip-hop. He produced for many multi-platinum artists in Interscope Records, such as Eminem, 50 Cent, The Game, & of course himself. He is also my nominee. He will be producing Snoop's new/next album, The Blue Carpet Treatment which will be released later in 2006.

Swizz Beatz
Dont argue. His beats are most definetely ill. He made Cassidy's new album "I'm A Hustla" a crazy album. He is also of course best known for producing tracks for the Ruff Ryders record label. "Like That" By Bleek was a fire beat. Can't forget "Whuteva" by Remy Martin. He has produced music tracks for rappers such as DMX, Jadakiss, & Eve. He might be the one.

Jazze Pha
JAZZE PHIZZLE PRODUCTIZZLE!!! He is a dope southern producer for many artists including Nelly, Lil Wayne, Trick Daddy, T.I., Ciara, and Luda. He is much credited for bringing the R&B superstar, Ciara full attention with her album that was released in 2005, Goodies. His beats make me shake.

So who do you think?

chea i was gonna say scott too, I got alot of his instrumentals...

kanYe tight and all, but he ain't produce that much. alot his beats are made from samples...

Gold Digger - Ray Charles beat.
Diamonds Are Forever - Sierra Leon or w/e.
Through the Wire - ...some song I forget the title of, but it was a sample.

etc.

arent you a producer/dj? then you should know the majority of hip hop songs are off samples. through the wire of course samples chaka khan's through the fire, golddigger samples ray charles's i got a woman, and diamonds sample shirley bassey

i think 11 songs off late registration use samples, and remember a sample doesnt have to be a vocal sample you can have drum samples or guitar or etc

scott storch is not a biter, at least not to an extent where the majority of his beats closely resemble another. i think kanye is more of a biter than scott, he uses the sme drum pattern for lots of his beats

i think kanye and pharrell are the most knowledgable in music, instead of fiddling until they find something nice, they actually know music .. especially pharrell .. but scott storch knows what sells and he produced more hit records than any of the aforementioned producers
