Super Music Producers : End Of The Golden Era

By Steve Lincker


In earlier 2000's, the music business, especially the communities of hiphop and rnb, observed the appearance of what we now call the "super music producers", accounting for frontrunners: Dr. Dre, Timbaland, Rodney Jerkins and also The Neptunes.

What exactly is a "super producer"? So, the proper answer of their difference with a "simple" producer would take the instance of what we call a "supermodel" in fashion, like Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer or Naomi Campbell. You know those prominent models as well as everybody else and you can see all of them on each of the catwalks. In brief: safe values.

This has been the very same thing in the music industry: there have been "big" producers, risk free, that driven all of the the projects and also were requested by the most well known singers or rappers. It has been always better for record labels to work with A listed music producer compared with a newbie. The well-known producer delivered a copious of winning singles, in theory. Due to the fact right at that time normally big names sold discs.

However, the music business, since the start of the decade totally changed. First, people don't actually pay money for disc nowadays.

So the record companies offer lower money for a project. And as expected, record labels are not willing to lay out money between $ 100 000 to $ 300 000 for one single beat, as was the condition throughout the time of the golden period of music producers. The discs tend to not sell and world wide web grows. To surmount unauthorized downloading of their artists, record companies develop or merge with statutory download tools and decide to impose their existence in this online scene, that has been getting out of their control for such a long time.

But the increasing use of the web has also made possible the growing of lots of unknown producers as good as, if not more advantageous than, "Super Producers".

A lot of these producers have focused on the development of the Internet, that has assisted these to sell their beats online. Permitting them to reach and work with rappers on a local scale as well as an international one. A producer from New york City can even sell beats to someone in Japan. It is truly now simple for them to gain an excellent respectability with a career. For the artists, this makes a great difference! They can buy beats online inside their home for their album, EP or mixtape for good prices; away from those applied by the "super producers".

Record companies pay a particular attention to this modern business. They buy beats online too. And right now we can easily see that some of these internet producers are receiving signed by majors.

The great epoch of super producers like the time period of super mannequin goes away slowly but surely, offering way to this new market driven by producers who, often, have next to nothing to envy to the "super producers".
