If we're factoring in his Pop and R&B catalog, top five easily!

But, if we're strictly talking hip hop, top 15 or maybe top 10.

He's not a top 5 hip hop producer to me though.

All time in the rap/pop/rnb circle

Then Top 50

1

Damn lol I would say 15. He has too many classics

dude has classics on top of classics, but it's hard to compare him to producers like brian eno, phil spector, prince, brian wilson, george martin, etc.

Top 5

top 3

Top 20

hard to compare him to mostly a bunch of white men?

top 10

Probably top 10

He's so much greater than the Neptunes imo since they get compared so much

of all time don't know

in the top 10 of the 2000s for sure tho

don't be ignorant

other than prince those are white rock producers

obviously, but what f*** does their race have to do with their producing skills? I don't judge my favorites based on the color of their skin.

#3 maybe
Def #1 in R&B

If we’re talking all time in pop culture, I would genuinely say Hes top 5 oat

Top 3

Timbo Probably #1
J Dilla #2.
Neptunes #3

Pony dated af imo

this s*** is the perfect mix of being contemporary and timeless its crazy

Timbaland just as influential as any of them

The man has been extremely influential for 3 decades in many different genres

If anything he’s done more than Prince or Brian Wilson who were dominant for only 2 decades

And I don’t really rate Spector that high in general. Most his iconic work is barely praised

Honestly even George Martin, there’s an argument that while Timbaland obviously won’t come close to the influence of the Beatles, George was also only one part of that outfit and Timbaland by himself has done so much iconic s*** and it’s also outside of just one genre unlike George

Spector has def influenced more than Timbo tho lol

The quality and importance of their work (at their peak) outshines anything he has done, period. Don't even get me started on influence and impact.
