Like, undisputed king or queen of their field.
I’m having Busta Rhymes (rapid fast rappage), El-P (production) and Freddie Mercury (puts on a show frontman). Hard to pick musicians as a lot is down to style and personal preference.
To be honest it’s hard to pick people who are undisputed. Potentially shit thread.
What I was thinking initially was people who are the go-to for certain things. So like Thundercat - bass. Everyone seems to feature him tbese days.
Dizzee Rascal/Danny Brown.

If we’re talking the go-to guy in the industry, it’s Pharell.
If we’re talking ‘the best’, I reckon it’s El-P. But you’re right, I was talking about the Pharell criteria.
Fred Durst - breaking stuff
This is a terrible thread. Sorry, community.drownedinsound.com .

Think Steve Vai holds some kind of record for notes played per second.
Not just houses mate. No roof is safe, anywhere!
