Xzibit - "Hey Now (Mean Muggin')"

One of the early problems I'd found with placing so much emphasis on producers and songwriters is that it introduces a weird critical bias.
"This song is pretty bad. Oh wait, what's that? Max Martin wrote it? Maybe I just need to listen to it 500 more times before I get it."
"That sounds like a hot new Neptunes single. Oh what do you mean it's not really them? Yeah this is really nothing but a cheap imitation."
I know that I have a tendency to do this and I've consciously been trying to avoid it as of late. So why should anyone care? BECAUSE I KNEW "HEY NOW (MEAN MUGGIN')" WAS SHIT HOT LIKE THREE MONTHS BEFORE I EVEN KNEW IT WAS PRODUCED BY TIMBALAND.
