3. Dr. Dre
Dre is the godfather of rap. As an artist himself, his discography isn’t as vast as some of his contemporaries. However, Dre made his mark as arguably the greatest music producer we’ve ever seen. He’s worked with virtually every heavy hitter in the genre. Not only that, but Dre has won six Grammy Awards throughout his illustrious career. His influence on the West Coast rap game cannot be overstated enough.
