Today at the house of Harris I talk about the lack of one producer-produced albums.

your articles are boring as shit meka. really, 2 producers or more on a track? 1 producer + 1 mc albums? find a meaningful subject please
Cole World n*gga
Blu & Exile’s Below The Heavens, Fashawn & Exile’s Boy Meets World. Ex is the only producer today that knocks this topic out of the park. Isn’t Atmosphere a 1 emcee & 1 producer group? They put out good albums as well.

Common-Be and Finding Forever
Currensy- Pilot Talk all by Ski Beatz bar 1 song
what gave u the impression that it had stopped??? as the above posts suggest otherwise
No one producer has the savior faire for producing different types of ounds,,,why be baised when you can really explore the horizan, meet new producers and create something great?
Styles P and DJ Lantern-The green ghost project ,Common universal mind control, janelle mones new album
Meka never really puts thought into his articles, he just blurts out whatever comes to mind in a few incoherent and often unedited paragraphs.
cole world no blanket!
Hey Meka, I’m a serious writer with a degree in Journalism, and I’m commenting for a few reasons. One, because I enjoy reading your editorials and want to say keep up the good work. Two because I have (what I think is) an amazing idea for an article for XXL. I’ve written the Query Letter and have an address and person to send it to, but the book I got this from is 2 years old and I was wondering if you could tell me if my contact information is right, or if I need to come in contact with someone else. I don’t want to put the name or address out there for everyone, so if I could e-mail you or something that would be great. Please let me know either way and, like I said, keep up the good work.
So is coles album called “cold world”? That’s what his wiki says…
or cole world?
I’ll tell you why we don’t use 1 producer anymore. The masses are stupid as fuck and want a new sound every time they turn on the radio. People don’t have patience to learn about what they have and they want more producers making more club hits.
Rappers who want to make $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ use a lot of different producers on an album hoping to get as many sales as possible.
Rappers who actually love the music they make like to stick with 1 producer so they can explore a concept in its fullest.
lol that is such a poor generalization French. Lemme summarize your bullshit, “Stay in one lane and beat it to death and don’t go for a new sound or style”…. GTFOH bitch nigga. All you’re essentially saying is artist should bottle their creativity and not explore different aspects and sounds of hip hop. You’re a damn fool.
Curren$y & Ski Beatz (with few exceptsions…)
Blu & Exile (as previously stated)
I’m all for that type of album, but it doesnt work for every rapper and I am sick of all these old ass hip-hop heads living in the 90′s. Move the fuck on! It’s over. That doesn’t mean hip-hop is bad, it is just different than it was. Evolution isn’t bad.
French Montana< i disagree some of the best albums also have a couple of different producers, tho yes ppl do go for whose hot if they hyave no musical integrity its gonna b crap music regardless of the producer is also illmatic and reasonable doubt both had about 4 diffent producers spread over the album but still came out dope.
GOD< thats the thing alot of great albums from the 90s were made with a whole bunch of different producers not just the rapper and the producer
Currensy had Ski Beats, for most of Pilot Talk is a current example that comes to mind
Drake has 40..
Meka, how much often do you want it to happen? I mean it does happen quite often to have that type of album, we alway have plenty of them.
Anyway, this type of album can be better than the variou producers one because it can be more conceptual.
And because in the mainstream we alway get albums with the “hottest producers” on it which is a little bullshit
Illmatic started the trend of multiple producers on albums. After that, Jay-Z did it on Reasonable Doubt and the rest is really history. Blu & Exile, Little Brother, and Slum Village do a good job, not to mention, Reflection Eternal. I too wish albums could lean more toward a cohesive effort between 1 producer and the artist.

^ The only reason Little Brother did it was because of how Phonte/Rapper Big Pooh and 9th Wonder went their separate ways.
