From producer to rapper vs rapper to producer

[DjPolair]

producer to rapper - kanye west

rapper to producer . eminem


just to mention one example of each, but hands down i wanna rap AND produce, you get to be more creative, more paid and you def get more probs

Both are hard to master by themselves.

I can't think of anyone that has mastered both. Kanye is the only one that saw great success doing both. And he didn't even master rapping. His beats saved him.

Dr Dre and other producers had ghostwriters.

The best option to master one really well and do the other one now and then. Just like Dre and Kanye mastered producing; and Eminem mastered rapping and occasionally produces.

I think that is what's holding J Cole back. His beats are boring. He should stick to rapping.

I agree... this is probably one of my favorite joints by him.

Big Krit pretty good at both but yeah the only one who's really doing the rapper/producer combo at a big level is probably Kanye.

Yeah, Big Krit is good at both, but I'm not yet sure he can make a hit. Once he can do that, the we can say he's world class at both.

RZA. Noone else did it as seamlessly, he came in the game as a master of both.
