Alchemist always comes correct. Marley Marl paved the way. I remember Premier saying he's his favorite.

I don't really have one but i think if you look at somebody's entire body of work it has to be DJ Premier. By far.
But just as a beatmaker i would say Dilla. Or even Pete Rock before that. I'm talking about just instrumental. And Dre off course.

Dr Dre
Scott Storch
Timbaland
RZA
Pharrell
Premier
Kanye
Just Blaze
Kool Herc
Grandmaster Flash
I put the ones that inspired my style most at the top. But I've also only selected and included names who I believe had the biggest impact in pioneering and advancing the genre.
There are tonnes of others i absolutely love, and feel I'm missing a couple crucial ones from the list.

It's fact that Marley mentored Pete and Premo. That alone is God tier!

A couple come to mind:
Apollo Brown: He just has great simple drum bass patterns. Samples like a boss too. Kinda underground as well so he gets bonus points.
9th Wonder: 9th has a vibe.
Dr Dre: He can't rap but the success speaks for itself.
R Kelly: I may take flack for this one but his beats are A1. His snares are perfect and he might've founded the open hi hat. Best r&b producer easily.
Metro Boomin: Best trap producer.

Yea don't think R,Kelly qualifies in this scenario i think Fade said Hip Hop if it was music in general there would be many more names involved. Apollo Brown is dope and one of my current favs but he caught his steam in the last 8 years unless you are younger and grew up on him them he may well be an all time for you. He's def dope. Like you said simplistically beautiful. Picks great samples to chops in big blocks. Drums always hit hard.

I keep saying. Apollo Brown is the best Hip-Hop producer from the last 10 years.
I knew him from his Skilled Trade beattape like in 2008/2009 and like 3 years later he just blew up and worked with the biggest names.

A backwards poet writes inverse.
Kanye pushed hip hop forward in the 2000's
Dre did it in the 90's
I think the impact of those two on hip hop was the greatest. Of course, I love Pete Rock and Alchemist but their music did drive the whole decade. Like Kanye's and Dre's did.

Man I'm starting to Really like you. First your Warzone and now Scott Storch? I've been here for 2 years and you're the only person who's appreciated Scotty (besides me). I mean for a while I've been known for sucking storchs dick too much on this community.
there's an article of most influental producers ever, smth like 20 producers, and like 10 honorable mentions, no Storch in it! I've been bitchin about that shit for years now...
