complete cosign. neptunes are my favourite production team :).
but who the FUCK is dr luke lmao.
Damn no Justin Smith (Just Blaze for all u slow folk)?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? WOWWWWWW! He made some of the biggest hits to come outta the Roc La Familia, especially in the early 2000’s: Song Cry, Girls, Girls, Girls, What We Do, Touch The Sky, P.S.A., Ignant Shit, etc. I could go on and on and on and they didn’t put Just Bleezy up there???? Excuse my ignorance, but who tha fuck is Dr. Luke???? He must be one of those pop artist producers that made all the Disney kids’ songs. Shit they all sound the fuckin’ same anyway…WACK!…smfh…
i think lil jon should not be on this list
HMMM interesting …. WHERE THE FUCK IS DR.DRE ;||
Where the hell is Dre. He has been more consistant this decade than most people on this list. DR LUKE this is the same guy who produced Flo Rida’s bullshit “Right Round” song. I agree with The Neptunes, Scott Storch, Kanye West, Lil’ Jon and Timberland choices though but Dre has had his hands involved in some of the most commercially successful and most critically acclaimed albums this decade.
@ ac@pella (dope name btw): just blaze is huge in hip-hop. he produced some of the illest songs in our history. imo, he is a top 4 producer in terms of quality active in this decade.
but this list is presumably based on album sales and single sales. thats just the nature of the list; its not a list based on the best producers of this decade…just the ones involved with the highest selling projects.
Where the fuck is Dr. Dre…that alone makes the list BULLSHIT!!
Dr Dre is the best producer ever in my books
WOW no Dr. Dre…HAHAHAHAHAHAHA…yall are nuts. If anybody is making a fuss for anybody other than Dre. you’re stupid. This dude basically cosigned and produced for the top selling artist of the decade(Eminem) and has dropped a complete classic game changing album this decade. Yall are crazy!!!!
Dre put Eminem and 50 on the map….and he’s not on the list?
whatever…………
Bill Boards all bout sales.. they named Eminem best Artist this decade in terms of sales right? Dre Executive produced all his cds… sounds like they fuckd dre in the ass.
and dres cd came out in 1999 didn’t it?
Those producers are worldwide…they don’t just produce for one label or one artist…pretty much everyone in the industry and diff genres f*ck with those top 10…kudos to the Neptunes…very very well deserved!
df is Dr Luke… & lol JD ? his beats are corny..
fuck this list….is there any album in the last 5 years that is produce by dem neptunes that sold multi platinum ? i don’t think so….dem neptunes produce the clipse latest album and shit barely sold 20k………so fuck this list and whoever made it.
ok so i googled Dr Luke.. he deserves the spot lmao
/facepalm
People need to kill all this “Where is Dr. Dre” talk, he didn’t put out nearly as much music as anybody else on that list. Dre is a legend but unless he ups his out put he’s gonna get surpassed by his competitors.
^ if anything Dre is better than JD.. i think darkchild or jim jonsin deserve to be on the list
I agree with most of the list… Just Blaze and Dre should been on… JD should not… and I’m actually wondering where Cool N Dre, and JR Rodom (spelling?) are. Even if it’s about money, the Runners had huge hits even tho they all sound the same now.
JD is very underrated as a producer. Darkchild and Jim Jonsin are too.
I think this list goes buy how many hits they produced the Neptune made alot of top 10 hits
Also, Timbo’s apprentice, Danger, almost single handedly made Britney Spear’s comeback… U can’t front on her production. I’ll bet u see him on next decade’s list.
FYI Dr. Luke produced Miley Cyrus. ‘Nuff said. And Billboard has nothing to do with who is “better than” who, or quality at all for that matter. It’s all about sales so everyone bitching about “where is (my personal favorite produce)” is wasting their breath.
The Megatron Don must have pissed somebody off at Billboard. Because there is no way in hell you can leave JB out of the top ten.
Dr. Dre not only did all of em’s cd’s, produced 50’s biggest hit, but he also had alot of non hip hop hits too. The two gwen stefani and eve track? Mary J. Blige’s best known song family affair? I guess they used statistics but that confuses me too as eminem sold more than anybody…
Keep in mind there is a difference between producers and beat makers.
WTF, Producers of the decade and there’s no Dr Dre?
Where is J.R. Rothem? He made one of the best piano beats ever on Game’s LAX…
1 Dr Dre
This has to be based on #1 singles.
Dre is a legend and Just is my fave over most of these producers just for U Dont Know & PSA, but they don’t have the mainstream hits. Stargate, Bryan-Michael Cox, and JD are killing in R&B/Pop (Mariah, Usher, Beyonce, Rihanna, Ne-Yo, the list never ends…).
And Dr. Luke…had never heard of him, but like mmkayy said, Google him. I guarantee that you don’t f with any of his music, but Billboard would…Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, KELLY CLARKSON (couldn’t resist)
Dr. Dre. has not been heavily evolved this decade, he did put people on but as a producer has not been relevant commercially since 04. All of them up there worked with pop this decade.
I need a writers job here or something
And Dr. Luke…had never heard of him, but like mmkayy said, Google him. I guarantee that you don’t f with any of his music, but Billboard would…Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, KELLY CLARKSON (couldn’t resist)

lol!
dr dre added
dr luke switched
for the hiphop/rap/rnb decade
dr luke much props deserve just he don’t produce hiphop does not mean he should not be on the list
Just blaze & Dre deserve to be up there…. I mean, probably JB more than Dre because Dre only really produces for his artists, not a whole lot of people… JB is everywhere
I dont like most of these producers anyway……I’m kinda glad dre aint on that list
^^^ dont get me wrong with that post, I think Dre is THE BEST hip hop producer of our time. But he only works with his artists, so his material is limited compared to those of say the neptunes or just blaze, etc
In JD’s defense all i have to say is: Usher’s “Confessions” and Mariah Carey’s “Emancipation of Mimi” did i mention he produced and wrote “U Got It Bad”?
in the club and everything else he did for 50 cent except that fire ft young buck joint…. how we do… the set-up/OH! (obie trice)… jadakiss ft bilal… eve… mary j blige… jayz- the lost one and that other joint from the same albumm… the mothafuckin list goes on… he at least has 1 or 2 major hits… neptunes have 1 drumset… they just to be good… timbo is lost in that pop shit… lil jon had 5 great beats yeah, that one with amerie, the other one with petey pablo and the one with twista…
and just blazeee… come on dipset/ jayz albums that were classics(its been a long time since then)… come onnnnnnnn
wow, i thought dr. dre would be on for at least marshal mathers lp and eminem show, he also got that shit with game too. he has been missing last couple years (until relapse) but over 10 years, should be top 10.
Billboard Fail.
dr dre should be on the list but not number one. I think timbo should have been number one. He ruled on the rap, rnb and pop scene. No matter who it was, he gave them a hit
GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE WITH THAT Dr. DRE SHIT! Damn.. yes he put out 50 and Eminem.. BUT he didnt actually PRODUCE (made beats) for AS MANY HITS AS THESE GUYS ON THE LIST!! Yea he EXECUTIVE PRODUCED which means he overseen alot of those projects.
But he DID NOT actually MAKE THE BEATS (produce) a lot of hits THIS decade.
This is not best *EXECUTIVE PRODUCER* of the decade. Otherwise P.DIDDY would be on the list also.
This is also not the best “TALENT SCOUT* or *CEO* this decade
No Dre, No 9thwonder, No JustBlaze. FUCK THIS TOP 10 LIST ALONG WITH EVERY OTHER TOP 10 LIST PUT OUT BY ANY COMPANY THIS YEAR.
I agree with the list and it’s Hot 100 hits which means purely singles, has NOTHING to do with album sells. I love Dre and he one of the most influential people in my music but he doesn’t make music for the charts solely he is about making classic album cuts like Em’s “Kill You”, 50’s “Heat”, etc.
In the 90’s Babyface ran the game with David Foster just behind him. It’s about hits not albums or quality music then you can argue.
Men lie, women lie, numbers don’t – Jay-Z
BTW: The Neptunes did inspire to want to produce music.
Check me out @ http://www.myspace.com/freddylong305
See, this list is bullshit if Dre is not on it, for the simple fact that he’s DIRECTLY responsible for two of the most influential and top selling rap albums this decade: The Marshall Mathers LP and Get Rich or Die Trying. Furthermore, He’s had hits with the major pop stars as well, including Gwen Stefani, Mary J. Blige and all of them. And then, to have fucking Scott Storch on here, who wouldn’t even have fucking known how to produce hit records if he hadn’t gone to the Aftermath School of Music, is salt on the wound. Fuck outta here. I’m so mad right now.
I’m back…I can understand that Dre’s place is arguable, but the latter half of this decade belongs to Timbo. From “Promiscuous” on, dude RAN the radio…real talk.
what about r.less? or dre? or justice leauge? what the
DAaaaaaaamn everyone talkin about where DR DRE is, but man OH MAN dont u guys realise he is the most unauthentic producer out….i had mad luv for DRE but i didnt know he was a swagger jacker until this year u guys wont believe the mount of smashes he jacked i swear !!…I THINK THE List is right and on-point….1st 4 years neptunes were gettin it in!! and in the past 2years had a smash album with Madonna now SHAKIRA…..can’t sleep on Pharrell…timbo is a close 2nd….JUST BLAZE had the ROC’s biggest smashes but not enough to be considered the best producer no way
the list is not only about hip hop so everyone telling where’s dre or just blaze should shut the fuck up.
Even if the neptunes didn’t put so much hits lately they’ve done their job in the late 2000. Timbo has put many hits too but not as much as the neptunes.
i love dre but but he isn’t relevant since 2003-2004 that’s why detox takes so long to come out.
dr. luke definitely deserves the spot haha
No Dre, Blaze or Premo? Fuck that wack list
wheres danja hands at who do all timbaland shit and bangledash
Where is Max Martin on that list! Hes made countless hits!
Premo? nigga its the BILLBOARD charts… if anything In Da Club should have got Dre in the top 10 by itself. and if they wanna get technical Dr. Luke should have been in the top 5… com’on Miley Cyrus, Flo-rida, Katy Perry!
Bullshit ass list.
for 2010: Knock it off with the lists, unless the FANS (supporters) are creating it.
P.S. judging by the contents of the comments… y’all really need to give your ears a break from hip-hop/R&B… expand people expand.
yea Dre still should be on there he was behind 3 albums that sold over 10 million in 2000’s who did the gwen stefani Holla Bacc Girl Joint i thought that was Dre
but the Neptunes like what was they last number 1 single they produced its been awhile I thought Stargate would be higher they had 2 Rhianna Joints and 2 Big beyonce Joints too I thought they would be higher
and also I aint tryin to start no shit but I wonder if Dr.Dre is still saying well what about Jermaine becuz his name is up there and Dre’s not LOL awww man I remember dre was on jermaine dupri head and now look dude on the list and he not
looking bacc past theyear Jermaine Dupri ha put in work Usher “Confessions” Mariah Carey “Like That Yall” “We Belong Together” Nelly “Grillz” .Bow Wow “shorty like mine” “Fresh Az IMiz”….well basically anything bow wow suceeded on he was behind LOL like i gotta give props to Jermaine he bought bacc Crazy Azz Mariach Carey career bacc like after Glitter I thought she was done and he bought her career bacc JD get props for that shit I think Sisqo and Mya need to holla at that nigga if he can bring bacc Crazy ass Mariah Carey Career bacc then he can bring anybody shit bacc Bow Wow maybe you need to go holla at that dude since you firing moms and shit you need to rehire yo dad

damnnn no idea about Usher………….
had* lol
@mmkayy lets not forget he was also behind the Grillz By Nelly that was a number hit too
^ yeaa but i hate that song lol
u guys are so fuckin retarded ITS THE BILLBOARD LIST. not HIP HOP LIST! when was dres last big hit? The Neptunes have ruled the charts this decade hands down. When radio stations have to change their playlists just so The Neptunes beats wont be in a gridlock your a problem
[…] Via: Rap Radar […]
4 all yall JD haters he should really be alot higher on this list and 4 all yall dre fans just look at it from a realistic point of view wahat has dre raelly done on the dolo tip tihs decade, and for a good 2 year period 04-06 lil jon was on fire. and just blaze thats what happens when you are a backpacker with mainstream appeal you get jerked
@ 2gutta, The last Dre hit?
ALMOST any 50 Cent Or Eminem Hit on the radio and etc.
Most Of eminem’s Hit Singles(well the 1st one u hear) like we made you, or crack a bottle or the real slim shady, it was a dre beat.
plus that list is top 10. Dre and Blaze are (well should be, havent checked) Top 20 For sure and no doubt.
and @ M&M. look up the definition of G funk, AND sampling.
Dre is authentic as hell.
West coast Sampling and sampling from the 80s-90s for that matter is completely different from lets say kanye’s style of today or the neptunes or timbaland.
stargate needs 2 b higher, where’s dallas austin…… jim jonsin?
I mean everyone is talking about Dre not being on the list, and I see why. He def should have been. But personally I think SWIZZ BEATZ has put in more work than Lil John this decade.
Swizz has worked with damn near everbody too. Jay-Z, Beyonce, 50, Game, there are some non hip hop artists too, i think he did joints with Gwen Stefani as well.
SWIZZ BEATZ has countless records where he at? he def needs 2 take JD spot and be higher in the ranks
@startrax the producer you mentioned havent “changed radio”. Everyone with the exception of stargate has done that. And belong on that list. Having hits and changing the way the genre is heard are two totally different things. http://www.reverbnation.com/blastmusicconcepts has “some of Pharrell and Scott’s Best work”
no disrespect, but PRIMO doesn’t make hit records, and/ or major record labels big dough!
DR. DRE should be on the list; so should SWIZZ BEATZ be.
POLOW DA DON has made a lot of hits lately, too!
[…] Rap Radar 0 Comments No Comments so […]
Damn. This just solidifies what i already knew….the average “so called” hiphop head has their head stuck too far up hiphop’s ass to realize that there is ACTUALLY a WHOLE WORLD of music that exists outside of hiphop.
DALLAS AUSTIN (not on the list!!??) Pharrell and Timbo have produced some of the best radio hits out there…..JAZZY PHA & DRUMMA BOY are close behind in the *others receiving votes* section
to the post directly ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^,
you are correct. especially, with regards to DRUMMA BOY!
@yaboitone DALLAS AUSTIN, PHARRELL, TIMBO, JAZZY PHA have all created countless tracks for genres otha than rap/hiphop/rnb
