Best Rappers Turned Producers

And no, I'm not talking about Kanye or Em who make a living (or used to in Em's case) off producing... I'm talkin about cats who decided to fool around with a drum machine and a sampler and ended up makin some ? .

^^^Game did the drums to this... I remember him saying he was getting a bug for producing after working with Dre, but I don't remember too much of what he produced tho.

Dont forget Jay Electronica, i think he is doing a lot of the beats on his debut, there is no Just Blaze.

Yeah, saw an interview with Just a few months back and he said he wasnt on there. I think Kanye did some beats though and Ryan Leslie did the lead single.
