"Beatmaking" and "producing" are two totally different things.

Ask Rod Temperton (he wrote Thriller and many other hit songs for Michael Jackson and George Benson's Give Me The Night.)

Quincy Jones produced the songs...Rod Temperton WROTE them.

Hal David and Burt Bacharach WROTE "Walk on By." Burt produced it for Dionne Warwick. Isaac Hayes redid it and produced it a TOTALLY different way (it was used as the base sample for Biggie's "Warning").

Producing a record and writing a song are not the same thing.
