no but like 'what was his deal'
To the second question, yes. But remember that most great producers work in multiple eras. It's not clear that El-P's production fits neatly into ANY era. His most mainstream beats are actually his most recent. Hip hop moves so fast that most major producers sound dated a few years after their hey-day, their era. Remember DJ Mustard? Exactly.How comprehensively can you map hip hop via specific producers? Does every era have a standout one or two everyone takes cues from?
valiant effort but needs to be condensed, the proliferation of names argues -against- there being one or two producers that typify an era and instead for a proliferation of micro-styles.
I was considering adding Erick Sermon as a producer, but I felt he didn't work with enough artists to be as influential as the other names. I also considered adding KRS-One as a producer, but his beats weren't that good OR influential. Wyclef Jean/Jerry Wonder would be a good choice too but IDK which era they fit into. I should've added Jermaine Dupri to the Shiny Suit Eraepmd also feels like a noticeable omission for the golden age, scott la rock too even if its for one LP
I never liked Heatmakerz. I did like Beatminerz, but no one else does! Atleast not as much as me lol Someone else already mentioned Just Blaze.no heatmakerz or just blaze, either??
Its still going, it's just the internet has displaced the centres of distribution so harder to access, especially if yr old and not just swimming in it.i kind of feel like the hip hop has stopped. tbh
