And do they do more work on a song than an artist?

I always felt like they been severely underappreciated compared to the artist.

I.e 40 or Boi-1da from OVO being a little more valuable than Drake on a song

The fans are listening for the rapper more than anything.

So Producers are basically chinese kids while the artist are the company reaping the benefits

Pretty much.

Except the Chinese kids probably got coron- nvm

depends on the producer tbh

yes

For a song to be great both the beat and the vocals need to be great

i think the artist usually has the vision and the producer helps executes that

the producer produces the artists vision tbh.

which is why I miss the duo's that hiphop had earlier on.
Dj Esco & Future are a good example of this in modern terms.

some artists and some producers can do this hand in hand
kinda like Kendrick Lamar.

This is such a lazy take. An actual good rapper is able to carry the beat almost regardless of what he’s working with. Examples of this that come to mind are Thug, Busta, Clipse, Doom, Andre 3k and many others because they have the flow, cadence, and rhythm to bring the tracks to life.
Sure there are times when the producer carries like Pierre with Die Lit, but to say rappers are just landlords collecting the rent from their producer slaves is such a lazy fake woke take.

Yes and no

The producer is more important to what the actual song is but the rapper is more important to differentiating the song and making people care about it

Nah most rappers just get beat packs of s*** producers think fit them

we dismiss those ppl

idk ask 808 mafia

“Those people” probably include most of your favorite rappers

I would say so, without the beats, the artist is nothing

idk how we got this many posts and nobody roasted OP for saying 40 was more important than drake on a song.

I need that song that makes you thinks this.
and if you say headlines . . . man

Probably nice for what lol

he shoulda said Boi-1da.

Let's put it this way, it's better to have a great beat with poor lyrics than amazing lyrics with a trash beat

idk ab that

Depends on both parties

60/40 = Artist/Producer

Or maybe like 55/45
