I was thinking about the music that has been created over the last few years and came up with a list of Producers of Hip-Hop music that most people will agree have had a great deal of influence on the music industry.
1. Dr. Dre who began in Compton with NWA. He went on to produce Snoop Dog, Eminem, and 50 cent after founding Aftermath Records.
2. J. Dilla is from Detroit who was responsible for D'Angelo and Common's organic sound. R.I.P
3. Rza is from Staten Island and the architect of the Wu-Tang Clan sound. His use of soul samples has influenced the next generation of up and coming producers.
4. High Tech is from New York and also ran Rawkus Records. He is responsible for the Kool G Rap and Pharoahe Monch sound. He used soul, jazz, and funk samples that made his beats unique. High Tech now works for Dr. Dre's Aftermath.
5. Marley Marl is from New York and is famous for his mix of synthetic bleep and sampled snare. He is also the producer of MC Shan's the Bridge. One of the most revered hip hop song of all time.
