A synonym for producer, but not so much because a producer's task may be a little more complex than a beatmaker. Basically the person who does the beat for a song, including melody, samples, etc. More common in hip hop and rap than any other form of music.
Yo fam, who's a better beatmaker, Kanye West ot Just Blaze? I mean, "Song Cry" was hot, don't get me wrong, but "Heart of the City" and "Takeover" got hotter beats! Kanye is the man for making those beats!!!
*All aforementioned songs are on Jay-Z's 2001 album, "The Blueprint".

Get the beatmakermug. A $50 bill. Named so because the face on the $50 bill is the 18th President of the United States, Ulysses S. Grant.
Courtesy of Nas' song "N.Y. State of Mind" on his debut album "Illmatic":
"Or either on the corner bettin' Grants with the Cee-Lo champs, laughing at baseheads, tryin' to sell some broken amps"

1. "The Black Album" was tight, but "Reasonable Doubt" is still Jigga's best album.
