Will.I.Am Production Appreciation Thread

[Shuttle Destroyer]

I'm a huge fan of Will's production
Too bad he hasn't focused on rap for the last years, eventhough he's been also great as a dance/house/eletronic/I don't know how you call it producer

Let's hear some of his dopeness

Hip Hop is Dead - Nas (Feat. Will.I.Am) 2006

Damn Girl - Justin Timberlake (Feat. Will.I.Am) 2006

This is some of my favourites, you can tell he was on fire on 2006
That heat makes me want a full Brazil inspired Will.I.Am ALBUM, it would be so fucking dope

To those intersted in getting a full project of rap will.i.am beats, check out his 2003 release Must B 21, with dope verses from various rappers on some of his hardest hip hop material

He does have some nice beats. Unfortunately he went EDM.

American Boy is dope

Kanye murked it too

[Shuttle Destroyer]

Seriously though, do you guys know hard it is to produce EDM? Especially the way Will does with samples?

He's a really dope producer either way

I think The END/The Beginning are both great pieces of work
