In your opinion what is 9th Wonders best produced album? These are the logical 6-7 choices in the poll. At the same time Rapsody Idea of Beautiful has 2-3 of my more recent favorite 9th beats. One being "What Kind of Love". The She Got Game has one as well "Coconut Oil"....ok I'm off topic...lol...take your pick below. Peace

Yes, I'm from NC so I thought I would show love with the poll. Peace

but i'll go with 3:16

That Murs joint was well produced. The Minstrel Show was so clean and polished compared to The listening. (thought the listening had the better songs)

That's one of my favorite 9th beats.

Is that the track with Phonte? If so, that is my favorite song and beat on 3:16.

I'm gonna say The Minstrel Show though in terms of overall production.

If you take that "Cheatin" shit off Minstrel Show its classic to me. That should have been a 1 minute interlude not at 4-5 minute song. It killed the flow of the album....Production overall was great..

The clean polished sound came courtesy of Young Guru. I think he mixed the album and some people had an issue with the way he mixed it. Side note, how in the hell did Chris Hardwick (Talking Dead) get involved with the album? What's the connection?

out of the one's you chose i have to go w/ the listening...

but i'm surprised you left off 'death of a pop star'. very slept on, and is in his top 5 produced projects IMO.

- The Grey Tape

Death of A Pop Star top 5 9th Produced LP? No sir. It's not better with Production than Listening, 3:16, Minstrel Show, The Formula or Wonder Years. That LP didn't pan out like I thought it would. It was just good. Now "Strange" and "Be With You" (I believe that's the name with Luda) were the 2 best beats on there to me. I would say that is one of the bottom tier LP's in terms of production. I would put Big Pooh Sleepers before that but I know 9th didn't do all of the beats. Actually I believe on Death of Pop Star E. Jones might have had the best beat on there..

I like the beats on The Listening more, even though they're flawed.

I agree. I like the samples on the Listening better....it just gave me a 90's feel. That his best album to me but Minstrel Show as just sharper sonically..

you'll have to explain that one, there's nothing wrong with them that I can hear

but The Listening sounds better to me
MS is more polished, but honestly it doesn't compliment 9th's sound-in fact it makes him sound like everyone else

I go back and forth. IMO 3:16 goes like this:

Forgettable beats:
-Trever and Them

Good but not great beats:
-Intro (not the first beat, the one he raps on)
-3:16

Beats I go back and forth on:
-Bad Man!
-Hustle

Beautiful beats:
-Intro (the first beat)
-Freak These Tales
-The Pain
-All 3 Walk like a Man beats
-And This Is For...
-The Animal

Total beats: 13
...

For Murray's Revenge it goes something like this:

Forgettable beats (this is being kind of harsh):
-Murray's Law
-Barbershop

Good but not great beats:
-Love & Appreciate
-Murs Day

Pretty awesome beats:
-Dreamchaser
-Murray's Revenge

Beautiful beats:
-Yesterday & Today
-LA
-Dark Skinned White Girls
-Silly Girl (fuck it, I love this beat)

Total beats: 10
...

Okay, so now that I typed it out I think 3:16 may edge out Murray's Revenge, but I could still go back and change my mind based on the peaks on Murray's Revenge.

I need to go back and listen to them again..

I know what you're thinking...but he and Khrysis were in a groove on that album.
