Super Music Producers : End Of The Golden Era

By Auburn Peterson


Starting in early 2000's, the music business, principally the communities of hiphop and rnb, noticed the rise of what we call the "super music producers", accounting for leaders: Dr. Dre, Timbaland, Rodney Jerkins or even The Neptunes.

What precisely is a "super producer"? Well, the best interpretation of their difference with a "simple" producer should take the demonstration of what we call a "supermodel" in fashion, comparable to Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer or even Naomi Campbell. You know those widely known super-models as well as everyone else and you can see all of them on every the catwalks. In short: safe values.

This was the same in the music sector: there were "big" producers, risk free, that directed completely the projects and also were invited by the most well known singers or rappers. It absolutely was always less hazardous for records company to get A listed music producer as opposed to a newbie. The recognized one offered a so many of excellent singles, in theory. Considering at that moment usually big music producers sold cd.

However, the music industry, after the beginning of the decade has totally changed. Firstly, consumers don't actually purchase disc any more.

For that reason the record companies give way less budget for a project. And undeniably, record companies will no longer be looking to get involved between $ 100 000 to $ 300 000 for one single beat, as was the condition through the golden time of music producers. The discs do not sell and web develops. To deal with illegal downloading of their artists, record companies create or merge with statutory download tools and just try to enforce their presence in this internet place, that has been getting out of their control for way too long.

But the rise up of the web also has has permitted the visibility of numerous anonymous producers as good as, if not preferable to, "Super Producers".

Those producers have paying attention to the development of the Web, which has helped them to sell their beats online. Letting them to communicate and work with rappers on any nearby scale as well as a world-wide one. A producer from Nyc will be able to sell beats to rappers in Japan. It is really now simpler and easier for them to obtain a strong reputation or have a career. For the artists, this makes a massive difference! They are able to buy beats online inside their home for their album, EP or maybe mixtape for good prices; not really those practiced by the "super producers".

Record companies pay a specific attention to this modern business. They buy beats online as well. And of late we could notice that some internet producers are obtaining hired by majors.

The great epoch of super producers like the time period of super model disappears slowly and gradually, revealing option to this brand new business driven by producers who, usually, have practically nothing to envy to the "super producers".
