Rap & Hip Hop: Who are your top 10 producers?

Update:

Just getting a feeling for the new section.

BQ1: Top 10 *favorite* rappers?

BQ2: Blue Scholars or Common Market?

Update 2:

I'll put in mine to get this started...hopefully...

DJ Premier

RZA

Pete Rock

J Dilla

Dr Dre

Large Professor

Prince Paul

Erick Sermon

Diamond D

Madlib

Fairly tentative, too many good producers to choose from honestly, I would probably have even more trouble with a top 20.

My ten favorite rappers are probably:

Method Man

Sage Francis

Blu

Black Thought

Mos Def

Slug

Del Tha Funkee Homosapien

Common

Posdnuous

Big Boi

As for BS or CM, I would go with Blue Scholars.
