Cats will stay in the game but will they ever "BLOW UP". Household name status??
No offense, but No ID has never made household name status music. I like a lot of what he's done, but he's never been responsible for a "Drop It Like It's Hot" or a "Lean Back". He's not a hit maker.
So by those standards cats like PR, Primo, and LP have never blown up either?

I totally agree. He was gettin' alot of love for Ressurection but wasnt able to graduate to bigger/high profile gigs. I was never a fan but cats really suck on Ressurection lp...........you would think his status would raise. Commons' did.

Those three get/got alot of press/media. They have higher profiles than any of the other cats mentioned except for Mister C who's a radio/dj cat.

Stacks' complaint was that No ID was not a household name.
While those three guys have been hugely influential within rap music, none of them is a household name, either.
The liner notes to Hard to Earn or Mecca and the Soul Brother are simply not being parsed within that many American households. That's just the way it is.
buckwild has not blown up enough. After whoah you would have thought.
I hear you but all things considered, dude has had a pretty good run. He was like the back-up Pete Rock for years.
True same could be said about Finesse (underated producer), bombsquad, Easy Mo Bee never gigantic but constant and appreciated.
i don't think any of these guys has been as consistent as bucwild.buc's gonna have a beat or two on the new saigon while everybody else hasn't been on a 'highprofile' lp in awhile.bucwild has managed to have a beat on most records coming out of ny that were worth a damn.

To a lesser degree Hi-Tek.
Personally, I don't think Hi-Tek got enough work either. Dude is mad talented and should get some shine. Finesse was ridiculous too, but did get a steady flow of work for a few years, though ("Suicidal Thoughts", "Ga Head", "Off and On", "Street Struck", a cut on Fat Joe's first joint, that posse cut on Artifacts 2nd album (with Finesse and Jamar as cameos), "All Black", a joint on "Goodfellas", etc.).
I was going to say that, that Janet song and the Pharcyde stuff was super popular yet no one knows his name. However i think Dilla might like it that way Cant wait for donuts!

Then by those standards, 99% of rap producers haven't blown. The American public in general don't know shit about rap producers. They know Dre, Neptunes, Puffy, maybe Timbaland.
This whole discussion all depends on what we consider "hits" and "blowing up."

I know he went the underground route for awhile. However ever since the Game album he may be going for shine his recent track Nati streets (feat snoop,kweli) is really a southern sound
Him and j-rawls(brownskinlady) should get shine rnb and hiphop, would make for good music on radio. That black star fuse unfortunately burnt itself out.

That is Stacks' standard, not mine. I don't know why you're directing this post at me.

I think J-Rawls from Lone Catalysts continually turns out great beats but he's always been in an underground niche.

Here's a track I made with one of the joints on there. That 100 Proof Aged In Soul Clip isn't on the beat LP. That's my doing. Ignore the shitty two-track mix.

Co-sign. His recent RnB stuff could help him blow. Amerie feat Mos Def and there ya go.
Big Co-sign. Dude is like a +15 year vet w/ tracks on many classic lps.
Great response. I was gonna respond, but you said it better. Dude produced major singles for most LPs from about 1994-1996 or 97.
Peace,

He's down with DITC, his resume is ridic' I'm sure he's super-paid. I'd say he's blown
Whatever youre opinion may be about the Man. 9th wonder's run over the past 4 years is an example of blowing up. To a lesser degree Hi-Tek.
Household name??? I dont think so.
Maybe we should name somebody who iz, to set the bar before cats come with different meanings of "BLOWUP". Maybe Stacks should present the example.
A Hip Hop Producer who my mother knows...........
Check out time, picture me rollin.
Different times/Different industry.

Hi-Tek had at least one track on this year's biggest album, which will hit 5x platinum before much longer.

I had no idea that he did a beat on the Quasimoto lp or that it sold so well...
