Yea is too...obvious a choice, and usually is picked among mainstream fans, which there's nothing wrong with that...if you haven't been exposed to other shit you'll never know. I just got into underground shit (well not radio tunes at least) hardcore about 2 years ago.
Dr has his shit on lock, but he cant touch Primo.

That means nothing because his old beats are better

I was gonna put him down as my third pick but ain't Primo a beat maker?I mean, he still is the illest D.J. on the planet, to me, but i just never know he really produced.

What? how didn't you know he produced?
Being a DJ is nothing if you can't produce a beat,it goes hand and hand.
I just didn't know. I definetely knew he made or "produced" beats but isn't producing beats and producing an album not the same thing?
Like being a D.J. isn't the same thing as being an album producer, is it?

You confused the hell outta me.DJ + Producer/Beat Maker = same thing
You must be thinking of a record producer who is more behind the scenes.
Album producer = Record producer
An Album/record producer is not the same thing as a beat maker. However, either can do both but are both different jobs that can be done individually and i thought he only made beats.

I really have no idea what you're trying to say at this point.
Fist is correct.
"Producer" has a significantly different meaning in hip hop. A producer in hip hop is usually the person who actually makes all the music and the beats, where as in general terms it's just someone who aids in the recording, suggests how to achieve a certain sound or quality, throws their ideas in here and there as to how to perhaps make a song better.
Rick Rubin is a producer, he's not doing what Pharrell does.

I've been said it. That plainly i didn't really know Premier was a record producer meaning an album creator but just a beat maker. And that's it.
So here's my new list.
Dre
Rza
D.J. Premier
That, and if, he was/is an album producer definitely makes him apart of his list in accordance to the thread title as an aside to him being a type of hip hop producer just by being a producer of hip hop beats. But even then i could still list him just by the latter alone.
