    Edit: I see that Digital Dream Door's original list was based on the wishy washy criteria "innovation, popularity, creativity, and influence" so I guess that list makes slightly more sense if looked at on popularity alone. Still amusingly shit though.




    so wait -- these actually represent an order of best to least good? man I thought this was just a stream of conciousness list of producers. if this really represents somebody's sober, reasoned list of producers from best to least good, then...fuck I don't even know where to begin with how wrong this is.

    I don't know how you can question the wisdom and insightful knowledge of a list that recognises that missy should be placed 70 places above Mista Lawnge and that producer extraordinaires Marshall Mathers and andre benjamin should be grouped with Jay Dee in the 60s.

    I think its pretty obvious that it was typed off the top of his head and in no particular order.

    I'm saying. I think we had a brief thread on this ranking list some months back, right? In any case it's fine as a valueless list of producers, but then people on here started actually arguing the merits of the order , (an order which can only be described as totallycrazy.)

    I wonder dude is doing now because he most definitely influenced the sonic landscape of 90's hiphop. You cant front on Zhane.

    This revision forces the conclusion that time and effort has been put in by more than one person into this list. They are not alone.
