>why limit the conversation to just the last 15 years tho?

because i'm looking at comparable runs in the same time frame. that way you can easily account for the same eras, trends, economics, etc.... and see who has done what in the same climate. what they've done in this time frame is incredible IMO, especially when you look at all the acts that have come and gone, and/or had serious slumps in that time frace.

my only beef is..... none of these are as one continuous unit. neptunes are a production duo, and that sort of clouds things.

heck you can take questlove and add up everything he's been heavily involved with in that time frame and those projects would rival teh roots... so it kinda skews things a little and alters the playing field.
