Without him there wouldn't be a "Golden Age of Hip Hop". He changed the game forever and invented my favourite hip hop subgenre: Boom Bap!

Absolutely without a doubt, these days people can research anything from Google at their fingertips.. young heads need to look up marl and see just how inpactful he was ad still is in hiphop.. I really and truly wish our pioneers got far more love and appreciation then they occasionally get.

This guy changed the way hip hop sounded
You can feel the kicks and snares from the SP1200 like a Will Smith slap!
A true hip hop pioneer producer. 1st hip hop super producer. One of the GOATs, no doubt about it. Always been in my top 10
Marley's #1 beat is MC Shan, The Bridge, though. I'm just saying. That's one of the most important songs in hip hop history

Marley Marl what a dope era of hip hop.

Marley Marl is definitely a legend and a pioneer in the Hip Hop game💯✊🏽💪🏽🔥
Marl such a legendary producer, so many LL hits, I wish Marl got more recognition.. that's the draw back of being so successful in the 80s and 90s.. no social media
I think to really appreciate what Marley did, you had to be the right age and heard it when it first came out. Everything is in the context of what was happening when it came out. If you’re a young person and hearing this for the first time, you might be able to appreciate it but not in the way it was perceived when it first came out. Like Eric B is President might not sound like an impressive beat now, but when it first came out it was like “what’s that?!” You never heard anything like it before. That song was a giant step in the evolution of Hip Hop.

Marley just had a different ear for production that I've yet to see a 2nd coming of. Just looking at all the records blended for Around the way Girl. Still bangs in 2022 like it did in the 90s. That's why I truly feel HIP HOP producers and artists truly need to make that divide between that quality over what's out now. These new cats need to create their own genre and learn to share the music atmosphere. Shouldn't be all trap now! It's funny how I saw a post from one of these younger rappers who was mad about other artists releasing their projects on the day he was releasing his? It shows they can't even handle competition.

Well Hip Hop was ours then, now it's not so exec's make this lolly pop sound so they can just throw a new face behind their junk at will, to think how many generational talents were found 80's 90's they not going to do that any more they just copy & past the sound they force us to listen to all day on the radio they have their own factory line of junk going now just throw a new face every few years behind the same sound & all the top OG's sold out and play flunky to the suits
my best marley marl production is Biz markie - nobody beats the biz(marley marl RMX) and RIP biz!!
"Live Motivator", "Pink Cookies In A Plastic Bag Getting Crushed By Buildings" LP version, The Symphony pt1, "Aint No Halfsteppin", "Momma Said Knock You Out", "Roxxanne's Revenge", "THE BRIDGE"
Do one on Kurtis Mantronicks. He is known as the king of the beats.

Marley not just a master of sampling, a dope Boom Bapper Beat creator, & one hellavua DJ....I he's in my opinion the "King Of The Posse Cuts"....(The Symphony) is a good example....He's responsible for launching careers such as "Roxanne Shonte', "Kool G.Rap & DJ Polo', "Masta Ace', "Big Daddy Kane", "Biz Markie", 'MC Shan", & "Tragedy". Not to mention all the joints he producer for a number of other artist "LLCoolJ" "Lordz Of The Underground" "KRS-One" "Da Youngstaz" "King-Tee" (At Your Own Risk Remix) Just to name a few..... 💯❤✌❤✌❤✌❤✌

I believe Marley Marl was the first hip hop producer to use the MPC to chop samples back in the day.
I'm convinced that that's not the original mix of THE SYMPHONY. The drums were grittier, the tempo was slower, and it had the James Brown sample, "Think '73" in it. Nonetheless, Marley's on the Rushmore of producers, without question.

Marley and Prince Paul. Marley changed the game with loops. Prince Paul's "influence" tho? Stet, De La, Tribe, RZA, Madlib, Dilla, Muggs, DOOM, and a few more.
MARLEY MARL WAS ALWAYS MY #1 PRODUCER SINCE HE BROUGHT US KING ASIATIC NOBODY'S EQUAL!( KANE)🔥🔥🔥 HE WOULD CRUSH DR. DRE IN A BEAT MAKING CONTEST!

Pickn boogers, he cuts so fresh, i pioneered this, truly yours, set it off, milky cereal, mortal combat, booming system, rhyme gets tougher as the rhyme goes on, move the crowd, killa rapper, have a nice day
Dope.
Vapors is probably my favorite Hip Hop song from before I was born 😤🔥🔥🔥🔥 AND THAT BEAT😡😡🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 MAD THING THAT
Vapros is the shit til this day
I am so so SURPRISED THAT HEAVY D and the BOYZ is NOT ON HERE‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Around the wy girl sooo funky fam!!!
Nobody Beats the Biz didn't make the cut? Damn, Marley got joints
Stellar
I like this spirit in which this was delivered and none of these are bad... but... Road to the Riches, Letter to the Better, The Bridge - I clearly have a bias, lol.
MARLEY marl THE ORIGINAL HIP HOP
If it wasn’t for him, music doesn’t sound the way it does today. Respect to Marley Marl.
Peterock b4 peterock. Marley took boombap into the 90s and everyone ran with it til today
🔥🔥🔥
u missed the The Bridge and Jinglin Baby among a few others, but those are 2 that came to mind.. especially The Bridge.. u cant leave that off ANY Marley list.. EVER!!! lol
mama said knock u out!!!! ^ ^
Man, another great list. I would place VAPORS way higher. I probably would drop "Creative Destruction" and put Funky Child-Lords of the Underground in place of that. With that being said, this is a good list
Vapors was crazy!
Wow, didn’t know he produced these bangers! 🔥🔥

I was hoping LA LA and On The Real was on here. Those two tracks have always stuck out to me, as some of the dopest beats ever made. I know the samples from both, and they weren't that difficult to make, but his ear was the gem, because he heard something in those samples, and made a whole new vibe, that was different than the original sample. He turned some soul music into some grimy gutta type NY East Coast boom bap. Then having CNN and Nas on top of those beats, was the icing on the cake. I had On The Real on a mixtape years before Nas dropped the Lost Tapes joint. I'm not sure if that track was on a soundtrack or what, but I always wondered why Nas didn't have that one on an album. I feel like that's one of Nas' best tracks. Screwball had a version of that one before the Lost Tapes, but I don't care what they said on their version, Nas' version was better, and I love Screwball's music. RIP H.O.S.T.Y.L.E..

"The Bridge" shouldve been #1. Idk how u could omit that from his top ten. Other notable tracks that shouldve been considered, just off the top of my head : "Jingling Baby" remix, "Roxanne's Revenge", "Curiousity" remix (Aaron hall & redman), "She's Dope" (EPOD remix) (Bell biv devoe) and a track from Masta Ace's "Take A look around" album, maybe "Me and the Biz".
