SUPERPRODUCERPOLL: Danja vs. Polow vs. Tricky

Danja POV:

Britney Spears - Get Back
Trey Songz - Wonder Woman
Ciara - Echo
Britney Spears - Kill The Lights
Day26 - In My Bed

Polow POV:

Ciara - Promise
Ciara - Get Up (Remix)
Lloyd - Party All Over Your Body
Ciara - I Don't Remember
Keri Hilson - Turnin Me On

Tricky POV:

The-Dream - Fancy
Mya - Case of the Ex
Rihanna - Umbrella
Electrik Red - We Fuck You
Mary J. Blige - Roses

Danja's POV was definitely the toughest so I'm gonna go with him.

i'd love a cd-r or rough guide on each of these dudes

I could make that for you if you want.

[21:53] brainwasher: rev post in my danja/polow/tricky thread plz
[21:53] brainwasher: it's flopping
[21:53] rev : no.

this is tricky easy but mostly cause he hangs out w/teh-dream

I didn't actually say "no." tbh I just need to think about this more cause it isn't patently obvious in any way

yes. this requires much thought. that said - tricky did "case of the ex"? whoa. somehow i never realized that.

comparing these dudes' highs is really hard, i think polow and danja have probably sunk lower though.

danja povi

ciara - echo
britney spears - hot as ice
britney spears - break the ice
mariah carey - migrate
kc - say cheese
danity kane - pretty boy

polow povi

ciara - promise
fantasia - when i see u (remix)
young buck - get buck
ciara - bang it up
nicole scherzinger - whatever u like
fergie - glamorous

tricky povi

...actually this is why i'm going to go w/tricky, his work w/the-dream could fill this space alone and THEN you think about 'umbrella', 'case of the ex', 'high price'...

loooove at least 90% of the Danja stuff i hear but this might actually be Tricky who seems to have more range.

Danja at his best is amazing but I'm not that big on the stuff w/ Timbo, mostly because it usually feels like Tim is doing his oldest schtick over the top of Danja's ideas. Tricky's consistent but I rarely flip for his tracks. Polow probably has the highest number of songs I love but can be really bad when he's low on ideas. Pretty tough to call.

From the POV and POVI here, I would go for Danja over Polow (although "I don't remember" is one of my favorite tracks at the moment) but I gladly join BIG HOOS on the request for a "best of" list of the 3...

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Don't think I ended up voting, but prob would have been another for Tricky.

jesus these results make me feel like dream stannage is outta control

wow i totally missed this - i would've voted polow, most versatile of the three and has the best high points. my prob w/ tricky is that a large portion of my fav dream tracks are produced by los

tricky has great outside productions too tho

how about t/s: best use of garageband preset in a #1 song

- tricky stewart with the drums in "umbrella"
- polow da don with the synths in "love in this club"

tricky by default cause the synths in "love in this club" be mad annoying

also i think we should all take "EVERY FREAK SHOULD HAVE A PICTURE OF MY DICK ON THEY WAAALL" into account

polow def the most versatile, but has also fallen off the most and i can't imagine him stamping his aesthetic all over a project like danja:blackout and tricky:either dream album. and i can't decide whether that last is a mark for or against him. can't remember who i voted for! maybe polow should just be awarded it on the basis of 'promise'.

tricky has great outside productions too tho

"Case Of The Ex" is an all-time fav of mine but c'mon dog he didn't get those votes for non-Dream productions

TS ciara high points: promise vs high price vs echo

i can't imagine him stamping his aesthetic all over a project like danja:blackout and tricky:either dream album

the rich boy album is really good - also i don't think polow has really fallen off that much - he had incredible peaks a few years ago but all his songs on the keri album for instance are great

has anyone else worked with all 3 of them besides cici? there must be someone else

secret fav polow production = young buck 'get buck'

wayne? xp

kelis?

danja also has the lowest lows - duran duran, madonna, simple plan (seriously), katherine mcphee

when did kelis work with danja and tricky?!

i really liked that one kat mcphee song!!! 'open toes', that one

all 3 were on Usher's last album

McPhee's "Love Story" was dope and i was genuinely shocked that Danja did it

also note that most of Danja's lows were co-piloting with Timbo

lol, i asked the-dream what he felt his most underappreciated song was and he said usher's 'moving mountains', all i could do was go "..." and not say "underappreciated for a reason"

ships, it's not exactly as if "Umbrella" or "Single Ladies" are obscurities

when did kelis work with danja and tricky?!

yeah this is like the opposite of being the sully sullenberger's co-pilot

i don't think wayne's worked with ANY of them

yeah i'm not sure why i said that tbh - altho he's on "turnin me on" and the "so good" remix but i guess that's not really "working with" either necessarily

he's definitely appeared on songs produced by all three

"We Takin' Over" for a Danja example

there ya go

yeah i meant his own official songs otherwise we're just opening the floodgates. i'm sure he's freestyled over all their beats too

ok apparently you were talking about just songs by The-Dream as a performer, i was talking about songs he's written

right

hate when polls that actually require some thought close in under a week, i never even voted

tbh I'm not really sure ILM Dream stannery is that connected to Terius Nash, jobbing songwriter (contrast this with Ne-Yo, whose personas as a songwriter and artist seem more interconnected)

and if nothing else, Tricky often (but certainly not always) steps way outside his Dream-album pallette when doing work for other artists. those that don't (I dunno, Foxx album, let's say) tend to especially seem more like The-Dream castaways in light of that

more

yeah but...you're saying there are people who know Tricky produced "Single Ladies" or "Umbrella" and voted for him because of that, but don't know his stuff w/ The-Dream or that The-Dream wrote those songs too? i don't buy that, maybe for a vote or two.

xpost

I'm saying both factors probably contribute to a typical Tricky vote.

In any event, there's no point in punishing him for being so connected to a particular songwriter/artist.

nah not punishing...i just think on a level playing field him getting 4 times as many votes as either other guy is kinda crazy, and that's the only reason i can think of why.

Danja hasn't done anything I've absolutely *loved* since the JT album and Polow is mad inconsistant.

ayyy where is Jim Jonsin at in this poll?

out on the curb waiting to have as many hits as these guys

AllHipHop.com: Now, you call yourself the “King of All White Girls.” Elaborate on that for me.

Polow Da Don: Just the “King of the White Girls.” I ain’t self proclaimed but I run with it. [Laughs] There was a stage in my life where I went crazy with dating white women. I have nothing against black women, but they’re raised differently. White women are raised to respect and serve their men. Black women are taught to question [their men]. Black women look at submission as being weak. White women look at submission as being a woman. And anyone who has a problem with this statement is ignorant. Just look at the divine order: it goes God, man, woman, child.

Po_Ow de Don

that was pretty early in the days of realizing Polow shouldn't do interviews (or at least nobody should read his interviews) -- more recent example being the whole fake Chris/Rihanna duet clusterfuck

fwiw, Jonsin has produced ten top 20 hits including two #1s, which seems to be just barely short of the others

ten!? jeez. guy is so anonymous i always forget half the songs he's done.

he's out of his league tho - waaaaayyyyy more gimmicky

never saw this!? i definitely would have voted tricky though, mostly cuz of his dream shit. there's not really a loser among these three though

whoa would u mind posting those hits

jonsin's?

im gonna poll

yeah rev. i mean its prob on wiki but

Jim Jonsin top 20 hits:

Trick Daddy, "Let's Go"
Pretty Ricky, "Grind On Me"
Pretty Ricky, "Your Body"
Trina, "Here We Go"
Twista f/ your mans Trey Songz, "Girl Tonite"
Jamie Foxx, "Unpredictable"
Danity Kane, "Show Stopper"
Lil Wayne, "Lollipop"
T.I., "Whatever You Like"
Soulja Boy, "Kiss Me Through the Phone"

of course that leaves out dope stuff like "Dammit Man" and "Leather So Soft"

you just called "leather so soft" dope

kiss me thru the poll: jim jonsin bleep-bloop bleepy singles keyboard bleepy ringtone poll

my prob w/ tricky is that a large portion of my fav dream tracks are produced by los
