Battlecat? Never heard of the guy...name some pretty popular songs he has produced.

He did "G'd" up by Eastsidaz and Snoop. He has a long catalog. His **** sounds a like too.

How could I forget the Heatmakerz???? They're my favorite probably right now. Nah Primer is, but Heatmakerz are second.

Donnell Jones the singer is a producer?

Glad to see some love for Quik. He's been on the grind.

The producer I'm really feeling is Shrondrae. He did MJG/8balls last album and "bossy" by Kelis which is in my head now.

he started out producing. he has done tons of stuff for other artists.

he's a good producer in addition to being my favorite R&B artist at the moment.

heres a taste of battlecat:

kurupt - we can freak it (http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=2D10969F49186677)

this is a gem

I like him as a singer but what songs did he produce? That's good he can produce too.

I think it's good Cee-Lo wrote "Dont Cha" by the *****cat Dolls

Yeah but the difference happens to be Quick......as much I really don't care for him has been doing this since you was in diapers......people need to start giving respek when it's do......not everyone had the connectz and **** some cats came up on their own......remember 15 years ago when Rap barely existed?Well if you don't STFU and take what you get because without some of these old school cats you *****z would be washin windshields.

Gringos list has it all except MF Doom for me.

OMG people, top 5...anyone can name a list of every producer that makes some hot beats but who is your top 5.

Of course, sounds good to me.

Let me honestly say this.......I have been listening to hip-hop and Rap or however you want to catagorize it.....for 14 years....since I was 14 to be specific.......anyway producers come and go and so do artists......

care to name a couple of your favorites or are you going to be a poor sport?:D

Well obviously Pac...but Big,Mobb Deep,Wu-Tang, Nas, Jay Z,Cube,8 Ball and MJG,Geto Boys and even E-40 was bringin it to *****z way before these other jokers.......and Producers are overrated period.

Hold on a second skippy...we're talking producers here not artists. Who are your favorite producers? **** this overrated ****, just tell me some guys who's beats you are consistently feeling.

Oh and I don't know why...but E-40 pisses me off. His style/flow seems completely wack to me.

damn you serious? If you were to hear a really really contagious beat with some average or below average lyrics you wouldn't like that ****? Why you listen to Rick Ross then?

Great question......I have pondered the same exact thing lately.My conclusion is this I like people like Jeezy and Ross because the **** they are saying is true and they have lived it no doubt.....I have too right or wrong I relate.........better than just talking bout rims and grilllz.....

Yep. No doubt. Another slept on artist like that is Warren G. I mean, the guy was basically making laid back **** at the time when gangsta rap was really popular. He was a breath of fresh air because he made music that you could chill too and he wasn't talking about how he was a gangster and all of that. He was real, that's what I liked about him and he was a crazy producer. He's an average MC but I like all of his albums and bump them all the time b/c I have probably heard 2 bad songs on all 4 of his albums.

somebody please ack the e-40 reference DAYUM

Thats all fine and good but honestly Warren G was/is a *****.......Trust me you will never hear the real **** again....thank god for CDs and Cassettes........

Probably because of the fact that he only had a couple of hot ones back in the early 90's , he just wasnt that consistent. He produced a couple of good albums, but when that ***** was trying to rap at the same time, it just wasnt working.

No one has love for Ant Banks!?!?!
