LOL, i was a tad worried.

Yah you guys seem to have good taste, I use to listen to allot of those MC's. I don't listen to Hip-Hop like I use to, I am pretty comercial for the most part. But these artists I really like, now the last two is mainly more for there tracks as whole not lyrical ability. Timbaland is my favorite producer.

Hip-Hop
01-Jay-z
02-T.I.
03-Ludacris
04-Outkast
05-Kanye West
06-Fabolous
07-Snoop Dogg
08-Diddy
09-Bubba Sparxxx
10-Wale
11-Timbaland

I am up for questioning, I am just glad I didn't see 2pack BS etc.

*s******s*

I stopped reading after this.

How is he not the most inventive producer of Hip-Hop? I am going take a stab, your favorite is Premo?

Try here.

Pretty sure you've posted answers to about 10 different threads in this one thread about Jay-Z.

Yah I get off topic, back to BP3.

Going to listen to it here in a minute again.

I'll give it another chance maybe in a month or so, but thoroughly not impressed on first impression.

Get posting in some of the other threads in Rap & Hip Hop. Some activity and opinions are always welcome, often quiet around this area.

Not trying to be Mr. Know it All - I'm just saying, Timbaland sounds like Fisher Price Keyboard after you hear these cats.

I think Timbaland has maybe gotten a little overexposed in the past few years but I'd still rank him as one of the great producers, not just of hip-hop but in general. I put him in the same class as the Phil Spectors and Martin Hannetts of the world easily.
