Top 5 most influential? Sure. But top 5 overall? Nah.

 

[5 Grand]

Yes.

Not only does he have dope beats, but he invented and perfected a style of production that people are still using.

Marley was the first producer to sample drum breaks from old records, put 808 on top of it and then sample music from another record.


The sample drops @ 1:44





Now listen how he used it back in 1986

 

[Goldie]

The goat in his era, but not top 5 alltime.

He's in my top 5. Probably #1. He made me love the beats because of how he put them together.

Yeah, they recorded My Melody and Eric B Is President @ Marley's apartment in Queensbridge, but for some reason Eric B got the production credit.
