No More Super Music Producers !

By Jane Williams


At the beginning of 2000's, the music business, specifically the communities of hiphop and also rnb, observed the emergence of what we call the "super music producers", accounting for frontrunners: Dr. Dre, Timbaland, Rodney Jerkins and also The Neptunes.

What is a "super producer"? So, the most suitable interpretation of their difference with a "simple" producer would certainly take the demonstration of what we call a "supermodel" in fashion, comparable to Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer or even Naomi Campbell. You know these well known super-models as well as anyone else and you can see them on all of the catwalks. In simple terms: safe values.

That was the same in the music business: there have been "big" producers, risk free, that led all of the the projects and also were invited by the most well-known singers and also rappers. It had been always secured for a record labels to utilize an esteemed music producer rather than a newcomer. The well recognized one produced a plenty of of moneymaking singles, in theory. Given that right at that time generally big producers sold discs.

However, the music industry, after the start of the decade has totally changed. First, many people don't actually buy cd any more.

Consequently the record labels give little money for a project. And usually, record companies are no longer wishing to make investments between $ 100 000 to $ 300 000 for just one single beat, as was the condition during the period of the golden time of music producers. The discs not sell and web starts to develop. To do something about illegitimate downloading of their artists, record companies develop or align with with statutory download applications and just try to force their visibility in this internet place, which has been getting out of their control for a long time.

But the rise up of the web also has permitted the ascent of many of anonymous producers as good as, if not greater than, "Super Producers".

These producers have focused on the progression of the Web, that has helped these to sell their beats online. Giving them to contact and work with artists on any local scale as well as a world one. A producer from Atlanta can now promote beats to anybody in Japan. It is very now easy for them to get a great popularity or have a career. For the artists, this makes a large difference! They are able to buy beats online at home for their album, EP and also mixtape for affordable prices; away from those practiced by the "super producers".

Record labels pay a special awareness of this new market. They buy beats online too. And nowadays we could see that some internet producers are getting signed by majors.

The golden time of super producers such as the era of super model fades away gradually, giving way to this brand new market driven by producers who, often, have absolutely nothing to envy to the "super producers".
