March Madness is over, but the bracketology is not for producer fans. Vibe magazine has put together a bracket for the title of Greatest Producer of All Time. Vibe did this last year with the MC’s, which started alot of subliminal shots between artist, controversies in the press, arguments among fans, and even back and fourths with Joe Buddens and The Wu, which left Joe with a swole eye… All in the spirit of competition!…lol
