I'm no producer but the best advice is to understand that, for example, Premo was working at a time when Hip Hop producers studied alongside other producers in commercial studios and going to those studios didn't come before said producer started from his bedroom and/or friend's house first. More sounds, mixing, melodies, etc. mean nothing if you are looking to polish turds.
If you take a mixing course, beware as it all comes down to being able to only apply what is needed. Every aspect of the industry is powered by those preying on suckers willing to fork over any amount of cash to say they studied with so-and-so.
