i see i have to be more specific. first off, Illmatic is not in the
category i'm speaking of. i specifically said more than five because
of this album. LP and Premier handled most of the album. 6 of the 9
if i'm not mistaken. then Tip, PR and LES had a track apiece. winning
ingredient, they all worked in the lab together
Kanye is the mastermind behind his projects. he takes the bits and
pieces he likes from a certain producer and gives it his Yeezy touch.
their were four producers who pretty much shaped the sound of his
latest album. Kanye, No ID, Jeff Bhasker and Mike Dean. they were
involved with every track on the album. that's why it sounds like an
actual album and not just a collection of songs. again, they worked
in the lab together.
Not sure what point you were trying to make with The Roots but we all
know who's the mastermind behind the sound so i won't waste time
speaking on it.
i'm not a fan of OB4CL2 so i won't even waste my time speaking on it.
i'll give you SC. that's the only album that worked with that kind of
set up. 8 producers on 15 songs and it actually meshed perfectly IMO.
point out another classic like that fam. i want to see what you come up
with.
The Blueprint, NO! Kanye (5 tracks), Just Blaze (4 tracks) and Bink
(3 tracks). 12 of the 15 tracks were handled by 3 dudes who worked in
the lab together to create a similar vibe. Em, Trackmasterz and Tim
had a track apiece. thats not the hodgepodge style of production i'm
talking about.
it's pretty much the modern day style i'm speaking of. where dudes
don't even work in the same studio together. they just get a track
from this guy. another from so and so. get a track apiece from a few
hit makers. Rick Ross made it work on Teflon Don that's about it. it
rarely works and i doubt you could name a good amount of solid albums
that use this blueprint. ******************************************
