nice list zero, i agree with u totally. except that OJB would be my number 1 (he produced ruggedman, 2face and he's good at all forms. R&B, Hiphop u name it). never knew jeremiah gyang was callen or that it was jamix who did rule clean's track.

ojb produced african Queen!!! d fact that he doesnt talk on a track dont mean he didnt produce d track, infact he produced all most d whole cd ( word on d street is he doesnt even produce tracks singly..only albums!!!) as 4 silver point beats it used to be him (OJB), segzion, & jokaynie but i think he left them for kennis music (he's now on kennis) they m8 still b together though...i'm not sure.
as for eldee's position on my charts...i love eldee a lot but pls eldee still uses fruityloops & jacks beats!!! e.g plenty nonsense from de la soul, numero uno from canibus!! g-links uses fruity loops to but his sampling is crazy!!! all d other ppl 4k wit korgs & mpc's so they mo advanced.
jamix produces r&b too e.gcheck naydo's cd (kdworld records), A.T's cd (all that entertainment) or just wait 4 his mixtape!!
for proof that callen= jerry gyang.....buy his cd!! and check d back cover
for proof that callen produced mode 9's elbow room (he sang d hook too!), buy mode9's cd!! he has d list of producers on d back page or check or check his site http://www.modenine.net!!!

i could put up all these songs as proof but it wouldn't be fair on d artists
y'all shud support our artists men......buy cds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

jus saw "tongolo" and was about to state that when i saw u'd already hollered
he's alright he shud hav shut up on d song tho...he spoilt it. the tongolo beats r t8 but he still doesn't make my top 10...all d guys on my list have made iller beats than that plus i'm sure they r versatile cos i've heard a lot of their stuff...cant say same for don jazzy...only hear that 1 beat!

p.s: whats d link btwn jjc and don jazzy? i kno d'banj used to be wit jjc (is he still? cos i saw mo' hits records and that aint jjc) and dont EVEN start that don jazzy produces for jjc...jjc makes all his beats...when they started big brovas, it was a production outfit...not a band

where all niggaz arguing who tha best is?
My ratings
1. Jamix (u need beats then its jamix)
2. Jeremiah Gyang (best vocal arranger in the country, forget Nabaka thats what you get most of tha time from crossbreads btw genuis and insanity -- and know this his aka is Callen that's his Dark Half)
3. Cobhams (Wizardry big up his a graet producer the bets in the south of the nIger)
4. Mista Seth (watch out for the name u'll hear it alot of it soon)
5. G linx (xcellent with samples)
7. Mekoyo & Sunky (Olufunmi remains eternal)
8. OJB (Needs to work on the choices of his tones, it was more about TU than him)
9. Eldee Da Don
10. ME!!!

AS 4 Skillz, Don Jazzy and Da Capo (leave them out for now, they really don't work from Naija, or do they?)
