Favourite R&B/Pop producers?
Inspired by the Rihanna thread, it got be checking out who was responsible for Te Amo because it includes such similar sounds to NeYo's Miss Independent, which is easily one of the best tracks of the last decade. Anyway, it's Stargate who are also responsible for Rude Boy, Chris Brown's With You, Beyonce's Irreplaceable...
Anyway, other than that The-Dream, along with Tricky Stewart and L.O.S. Da Mystro are responsible for so many huge hits and people are still totally unaware of them... Umbrella, Single Ladies, the whole Electrik Red record, Cookie Jar, Justin Bieber's Baby...
Only other current one I know of by name is RedOne who, obviously, does practically all of Lady Gaga's stuff.
So who else are the undersung heroes of modern pop? (And by undersung I guess I mean everyone knows about Neptunes and Timbaland and will.i.am.)
