I don't know y'all. It's definitely between Metro and Mike WiLL, with Luger as the OG and 808 Mafia competing if you combine 'em all. London ain't even close and I never understood why people mentioned him alongside Metro and co., even when talking about Thug collabos alone. I would have said Mike WiLL has more range than Metro, but I don't even know anymore since Metro has been killing R&B features like Ride of Your Life.
Unsurprisingly, there were a lot of similar sounding beats while I was combing through for this, that were hard, but just generic lol
If we're talking about favorite trap producers, my vote has to go to RonnyJ. He's done some amazing production in the past 2 years:
- Gospel
- ULT
- Gook
- Knotty Head
- Flying Nimbus
- Ultimate
I'm pretty sure Thug has 40 tracks with Ye, none of them will ever get released though. Shit, I'm pretty sure Kendrick said he and Kanye made the same amount too. Ye's vault will probably be Prince-sized when he departs this Earth.
Not that they couldn't be less relevant to hip hop or black culture for that matter, seeing those old people react channel to The Story of OJ is cringey as fuck. The dust.
Why would you do this instead of making the Rocky/Tyler thing official?
I'd rather someone remix Waves, NMPILA or literally any other track besides this.
Goddamnit at Ferg saying "Why they crucify Cosby." I get the fact the man was an inspiration for a whole generation, but the man raped close to 70 women. Either 70 women have made a coordinated effort to take down a whole generation's idol or he actually did it. Occam's Razor has to apply here.
Here are some of the best productions (read: not songs) from each. They collaborate a lot, but for me the highlights of things they each were primary producers on or didn't co-produce with someone else on this list (which there's a lot of):

Yes I know it's a low effort remix but he still took it to another level
, Speed Racer

Travi$ Scott - Skyfall
Tinashe - Ride of Your Life
Mike WiLL Made-It

Ima be honest dude. You don't seem well enough informed to be starting a discussion like this and having a straight up answer.
It is pure weirdness and worrisome that you label Kanye West - Mercy for the drums under Mike Will but you cannot bother naming more than 5 songs by any other producer other than Mike Will and Metro Boomin.

He got the list of Wikipedia as an example. It's meant to start a discussion on who the best is atm. Someone said London and then gave examples of that production.

Exactly. It's not comprehensive, based on that and a YT most viewed search, and obviously just my opinion. I don't have access to my full music library ATM.
Also, I excluded a ton of dope songs that are dope because of what the artists did on them but not necessarily examples of exceptional production.
Also I think y'all would be surprised how many of these producers collab. A ton of Southside's shit is done with Metro, for example, but you wouldn't know because it only has Southside's tags on there. Same with Sonny.
Mercy is a rare exception because Mike WiLL's contribution to that song is so clear and significant. Not to take credit away from Lifted, though.
The most notable example of that producer collab is "FSMH Pt. 1". I think HudMo publically bitched about how he did most of the work for that song, but everyone thinks it's Metro because of the tag placement.
But, out of the 5 you listed, I'm gonna give it to Mike Will. The beats on the Sremmlife projects are always great.
An I the only one in here just "Ehhh" on No ID's production on 4:44? It's really one of those rare projects recently where the content carries everything. Between Jay's flow and the music, it doesn't get me going.

I am completely fine with you trying to start a discussion,that's always great. What I had a problem with is how you formatted it as if other producers didn't have much else to their name.
You didn't say IDK guys could you show me more songs from these producers so I can see what y'all see. You compared these producers and only listed 3 or two songs from some producers then 10 songs from ones you prefer. Surely you can look at your post and see how someone would think it is pretty skewed?
Producers deserve more respect than that
I am down to post songs once I get out of traffic tho

I'm totally ehh on it. I think it's far from his best work and there isn't much that stands out to me. I wouldn't call it bad, but there are no crazy samples or patterns that grabbed me.

Well, the purpose of a remix is to let other rappers have a chance on hot beats. I'd love to see some rappers do what Gibbs did to NMPILA: recite their own bars on the dope production.

I do wonder what kind of stuff that goes on behind the scenes regarding tags. If Metro sticks a tag on it is a guarantee he did most of the production, probably not.

We'll probably never know but a lot of producers collaborate much more frequently nowadays and try to at least put the names of who helped in the credits. I doubt it's like how Dre would have a whole team pumping out beats but he gets the sole credit for it.
As for the top current producers, the holy trinity has to be Mike Will, Metro and Sizzle. I'd put them in their own tier.

Production on 444 is bliss. The samples are the feminine voice that accompanies Hov throughout the album teasing out of him emotion and subject matter he has shied away from in his 20+ yr career. Spoilt for bars and quotables. Bless up guru too, jay's voice is great on this from sounding like he's in the booth giving confession to slightly intoxicated on moonlight. Jay sounds isolated and his vocals are not the usual double track we are used to, sounds like a live album. Top it all off with dope videos.
