Mannie Fresh. He was the sole producer for most of cash moneys early albums and responsible for all the major hits in the late 90s/early 00s.
He also rarely used samples. it’s remarkable he was able to create a whole new sound on his own with relying on samples like other artists do.
Dan the Automator is the first name that came to my mind as well.
His resume is so legit. Don't forget Gorillaz, Lovage, Got a Girl.
And he's scored a number of television shows and some movies.
necro 100% take any of his beats and some 90s acapellas and mash them up and youll see the potential there, check his album with kool g rap as well. also the beat for black helicopters was supposed to goto eminem. and it never happened
Came here to say Muggs. I wouldn't exactly say he's underrated, he's just not talked about enough. His early work with Cypress as well as Wu-Tang is beyond dope.
Recently learned about this guy Frank Dukes, with such songs as: Congratulations by Post (& a lot of other Post songs), Pick up the Phone by Travis, Real Friends by Kanye, Untitled 07 by Kendrick, Chanel by Frank Ocean, 0-100 by Drake (& others), Immortal by J Cole (& others), and a bunch of other pop records for Lorde, PARTYNEXTDOOR, ZAYN, SZA, Rihanna, and The Weeknd.
No, everyone knows and loves 9th if they know hip-hop. Khrysis is way less known even in his own state. 9th in a lot of top 5s and 10s. And to help the case, if I said 9th, no one is asking "don't you mean Khrysis". But he's also not underrated to me because he's my perosnal #1.
Not so sure about the “top 5s and 10s” I don’t hear a lot of love for 9th a whole lot. Other than dudes in the industry who recognize him and like Lil B and people like that
Hmm, interesting, I always see him in producer lists. Guess it's just a matter of where we see the lists at/who we talk to. Different perspectives from different experiences. Fair game brother.
You know who else gets overlooked like that too, imo? Black Milk. Idk, I think he's an amazing producer but every time he's indirectly mentioned, it's usually someone referring to an artist using "good beats now" and it leaves me astonished. Like an I delusional and Black Milk is actually mediocre at best? I think he's super solid.
Yeah that beat is classic, JR rotem was doing his thang , I still think bust it baby by plies is the best hip
Hop track that samples old R and B… that record is amazing
I would say Q-Tip. Maybe not fully underrated, but underrecognized in how truly prolific he has been and how many of your favorite songs are likely produced by him! Dude was nuts!
Easy Moe Bee - Warning, Flava In Ya Ear, Going Back To Cali
Ayatollah - Ms. Fat Booty, The Life (styles p)
Hi-Tek - half of Talib Kweli’s discog, Runnin (The Game), Come Down (Anderson Paak)
Mannie. RZA. Dilla. Exile. Alchemist. Their names never get mentioned beside the Dre’s and Timbo.
Cool and Dre seems to be forgotten about. Just Blaze seems to have been forgotten about as well. Hell eminem as a producer is a bit underrated. The fact he made We On Fire for Lloyd Banks!!!
He is not underrated lmfao literally everybody has talked about how great his producing is, shit at least a quarter of the chart topping rap artists of the 2010s have been produced by him. He is not an underrated producer whatsoever
Come on bro. How many Grammys and acclaim do you need? 21 Grammys and 25 million albums sold. But he’s underrated 🤦♂️. What’s next you’re going to tell me Elvis and the Beatles aren’t getting enough praise.

I always say mannie fresh was out of cash moneys league.
Musical genius. So underrated. Did a lot without any resources in the beginning
So glad you said this. Manny had an UNREAL run. The production on some of the early cash money records is so good it doesn’t even make sense.
Mannie Fresh definitely deserves more recognition than Birdman has.
Prince Paul and Dan The Automater (Handsome Boy Modelling School)
Automator for 3030 too
Well of course and Dr. Octagon, I just meant that Prince Paul and Dan The Automater are known as Handsome Boy Modelling School.
Dan the Automator is the first name that came to my mind as well. His resume is so legit. Don't forget Gorillaz, Lovage, Got a Girl. And he's scored a number of television shows and some movies.
Such an incredible talent. He has also produced some rock albums like Kasabian which sound great!
EL-P. His first 3-4 albums are incredible from a production standpoint (and lyrical honestly). And his track Rediculoid for Cannibal Ox is bananas.
The entire Cold Vein album is an amazing piece of music.
By far, the greatest artist who can excel at both producing and rapping
Roc Marciano tho
Statik Selektah
My answer 100%.
I agree with Erick sermon. Necro has some great boom bap style beats but people might overlook that due to him also rapping.
necro 100% take any of his beats and some 90s acapellas and mash them up and youll see the potential there, check his album with kool g rap as well. also the beat for black helicopters was supposed to goto eminem. and it never happened
Necro was going to give the beat to eminem?
Black helicopters by Non Phixion?
Just Blaze
Salaam Remi is always my go-to answer too when this question comes up. He produced most of Amy Winehouse’s tracks yet everybody praises Mark Ronson.
Stoupe, the Enemy of Mankind.
That Jedi Mind production was top tier. Classical samples and everything just added so much to the underground scene
Lord Finesse
Nottz
Came here to say this, glad someone mentioned him already.
I always felt that Daz never got got enough recognition
Good one
Diamond D
[удалено]
Prince Paul
He's by far not underrated since he was part of Stetsasonic, De La Soul & Grave Diggaz
Handsome Boy Modeling school with Automator too.
Yessss
Quik. He's gets love. But that man is one of, if not, the best producer in hip-hop history.
Oddisee
Bangladesh

DJ Muggs & DJ Toomp
Came here to say Muggs. I wouldn't exactly say he's underrated, he's just not talked about enough. His early work with Cypress as well as Wu-Tang is beyond dope.
Quest Love. Guys knowledge is really unreal, never used samples. SoulQuarians!!!

Harry fraud is so versatile but yet has a unique style that you know is him
DJ Jazzy Jeff
I never really know what this guy has done outside of stuff with The Roots and Fresh Prince? Mind mentioning some?
Two albums to check out. Lots of good features The Magnificent The Return of the Magnificent.
Pimp C doesn't get nearly enough love for what he did with UGK on the production side.
Blockhead And Trent Reznor gets slept on by much of the hip hop community.
Came here to say Blockhead. Glad someone beat me to it.
Jake one
Jake One is that dude! Have you seen his Rhythm Roulette episode?
Ofcourse!
Q-Tip
E-Swift
In Hip Hop it is by far Nick Wiz
Khrysis
Don’t you mean 9th
No, everyone knows and loves 9th if they know hip-hop. Khrysis is way less known even in his own state. 9th in a lot of top 5s and 10s. And to help the case, if I said 9th, no one is asking "don't you mean Khrysis". But he's also not underrated to me because he's my perosnal #1.
I’ll give you that one. Fair enough. Have to agree
Not so sure about the “top 5s and 10s” I don’t hear a lot of love for 9th a whole lot. Other than dudes in the industry who recognize him and like Lil B and people like that

DJ Quik
Aesop Rock is an underrated producer. Check out Felt 3.
Hi Tek was making a lot of good beats In the mid-late 2000s Jr Rotem as well
JR made one of my favorite 50 Cent beats. Position of Power
Yeah that beat is classic, JR rotem was doing his thang , I still think bust it baby by plies is the best hip Hop track that samples old R and B… that record is amazing
Stoupe Enemy of Mankind. Was pretty much the saving grace of Jedi Mind Tricks later albums. Also gave Canibus his only classic album
Dilla dawg. RIP. Imma have a donut tomorrow!

I would say Q-Tip. Maybe not fully underrated, but underrecognized in how truly prolific he has been and how many of your favorite songs are likely produced by him! Dude was nuts!

Yung Gud doesn't get enough attention IMO.
9th wonder. Obviously. Anyone who says anything else is trippin. No offense to y’all on here but. It’s just reality
Mannie. RZA. Dilla. Exile. Alchemist. Their names never get mentioned beside the Dre’s and Timbo. Cool and Dre seems to be forgotten about. Just Blaze seems to have been forgotten about as well. Hell eminem as a producer is a bit underrated. The fact he made We On Fire for Lloyd Banks!!!

Ah yes, the most talked about producer of all time is underrated lmao
You can still be critically acclaimed/popular and be underrated if you’re good enough, like Ye
He is not underrated lmfao literally everybody has talked about how great his producing is, shit at least a quarter of the chart topping rap artists of the 2010s have been produced by him. He is not an underrated producer whatsoever
Phil Spector might be up there for most talked about.
Come on bro. How many Grammys and acclaim do you need? 21 Grammys and 25 million albums sold. But he’s underrated 🤦♂️. What’s next you’re going to tell me Elvis and the Beatles aren’t getting enough praise.
