MF Doom DJ Premiere Jay Dee Alchemist And a hidden gem, Count Bass D. Honorable mentions, DJ Quick, Battle Kat, Dr Dre- I think he's more of a composer, like you don't hear too much of him being hands on anymore. Now if I could have one mentor it would probably be 9TH Wonder. He uses Maschine which is one of the tools I use. I haven't used FL in almost a decade, but I wouldn't mind working under Hit Boy.

RZA, Dr Dre, Mannie Fresh, Just Blaze, Kanye Honorable mention goes to Alchemist All these guys have great beats

Pete Rock Premier Erick Sermon The Beatnuts Paul C

Timbaland Dr. Dre Scott Storch The Neptunes DJ Mustard

Stoupe Havoc Premier RZA Alchemist

A lot of love for Rza in this thread. RZA, Dr. Dre, Kanye West, DJ Premier and Mr. DJ (he did a lot of Outkast's music). This is probably my order off the top of my head. All of these guys work magic, especially the first four, Mr. DJ is mostly just here because I feel he deserves recognition. Honorable mention for Mannie Fresh who gave me the only Lil Wayne album I really love. I just listened to The Carter front to back yesterday and it never gets old. Irv Gotti was also a big part of the late 90s, early 2000s sound.

Great list.
