    At one time he was. Right now, he could use some help.

    Not sure what's so funny about that reply. Stoob asked who artists want to work with due to a track record of producing hits, and Timbaland is among the top names in that category. Plus, he's made more money than everyone else mentioned on this thread... combined.

    I didn't even know until recently that genres like rock actually needed producers. I thought bands just played instruments and recorded it.

    To me, stellar production relies on Akai's MPC, a machine that allows a producer to import real instrument sounds and drum noises and then play them by hitting pads on the MPC with their fingers. Computers do the rest.

    In rap, every artist I can think of would kill to work with Florida production team The Runners. Just Blaze can make a hit for anyone for around $80K a track, but I personally don't think Scott Storch is super talented, especially charging more than Blaze. Storch's best work will always be the piano riff on Dr. Dre's "Still DRE."

    Other producers I'd love to make a record with: Dr. Dre, DJ Paul and Juicy J, Traxamillion, The Neptunes, Mr. Collipark, Kanye West, DJ Toomp, The Alchemist, will.i.am, m.Rell, Cool 'N Dre, Soopafly and Shawty Redd. The three biggest up-and-comers are Don Cannon, Polow Da Don and J.R. Rotem (the dude who signed Sean Kingston as his first artist under the new label).

    For R&B singers, it gets no better than Norwegian production duo StarGate (virtually every Ne-Yo song from both albums, Joe, Mario, Rihanna, Mario Vasquez, Trey Songz, Lionel Richie, Paula Deanda).

    First guy I thought of.

    Mutt Lange had a very impressive string of hits - and he married Shania Twain which has to count for something.

    I'll toss out fellow Canuck Bob Rock.

    I was wondering when his name would come up. It was the first name I thought of when I saw this thread.

    Tyler D eloquently explains why.
