Is It Really The End Of Super Music Producers Era ?

By Helen Hudson


At the beginning of 2000's, the music industry, primarily the communities of hiphop and also rnb, saw the emanation of what we now call the "super music producers", accounting for chiefs: Dr. Dre, Timbaland, Rodney Jerkins and also Scott Storch.

What is considered a "super producer"? Well, the most suitable answer of their difference with a "simple" producer would definitely take on the example of what we call a "supermodel" in fashion, such as Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer or even Naomi Campbell. You know those widely known fashion models as well as everyone else and you can see them on all of the catwalks. In simple terms: safe values.

That was the identical thing in the music business: there were "big" producers, risk free, that directed entirely the projects and also were looked for by the most well recognized singers or rappers. It absolutely was more secured for a record label to take advantage of a widely known music producer in comparison with a newbie. The well recognized producer offered a multiple of rewarding singles. For the reason that , at this time , normally big producers sold discs.

However, the music industry, after the starting of the decade has changed. First, consumers don't pay for disc anymore.

For this reason the record companies give way less budget for a project. And usually, record companies are no longer looking to put in between $ 100 000 to $ 300 000 for just one single beat, as was the case at the golden years of music producers. The discs do not sell and worldwide web develops. To defeat unauthorized downloading of their artists, record companies develop or merge with with statutory download applications and try to force their presence in this online world, that has been getting out their control for a long time.

But the popularity of the internet has permitted the visibility of lots of anonymous producers as good as, if not superior to, "Super Producers".

All these producers have focused on the growth of the Internet, that has enabled them to sell their beats online. Permitting them to connect and also work with singers or rappers on any nearby area as well as a world wide one. A producer from Atlanta would be able to advertise beats to someone in France. It gets now more simple for them to gain a very good reputation to get a career. For the artists, this makes a great difference! They can buy beats online in their house for their album, EP or mixtapes for affordable prices ; far from those applied by the "super producers".

Record labels pay a particular awareness of this brand new market. They buy beats online too. And recently we can easily notice that a number of these internet producers are getting signed by majors.

The great age of super producers like the years of super model fades away steadily, Offering options to this new sector driven by producers who, usually, have next to nothing to envy to the "super producers".
