Super Music Producer : The End Of A Lucrative Era

By Paula Harris


In earlier 2000's, the music industry, particularly the communities of hiphop and also rnb, saw the arising of what we now call the "super music producers", accounting for leaders: Dr. Dre, Timbaland, Rodney Jerkins or even The Neptunes.

What is considered to be a "super producer"? Okay, the better example of their difference with a "simple" producer would take on the demonstration of what we call a "supermodel" in fashion, that include Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer or Naomi Campbell. You know these legendary fashion models as well as everybody else and you can see them on almost all the catwalks. In short: safe values.

This has been the similar thing in the music business: there have been "big" producers, risk free, that led entirely the projects and also were needed by the most famous singers and also rappers. It absolutely was always more secured for a record labels to exploit a renowned music producer instead of a newbie. The popular producer supplied a various of triumphant singles, in theory. Simply because at that time ordinarily big producers sold discs.

But, the music business, after the beginning of the decade changed. To begin with, many people don't really spend money on disc now.

For this reason the record companies invest way less budget for a project. And of course, record companies will no longer be looking to lay out money between $ 100 000 to $ 300 000 for one single beat, as was the case through the golden age of music producers. The discs not sell and internet grows. To deal with unauthorized downloading of their artists, record companies create or connect with statutory download platforms and want to impose their existence on this internet place, which has been escaping their control for such a long time.

But the increasing use of the internet in addition has made possible the rise of lots of anonymous producers as good as, if not better than, "Super Producers".

A lot of these producers have paying attention to the progress of the Internet, that has permitted them to sell their beats online. Which allows them to connect and work with artists on a local scale as well as a worldwide one. A producer from New york City is now able to try to sell beats to someone in Japan. It most certainly is now far better for them to gain a strong recognition or have a career. For the artists, this makes an immense difference! They are able to buy beats online in their own home for their album, EP or even mixtape for affordable prices; not at all those practiced by the "super producers".

Record companies pay a particular interest on this new business. They buy beats online too. And nowadays we can see that a few web producers are obtaining hired by majors.

The great time period of super producers like the age of super models goes away steadily, giving way to this new market driven by producers who, quite often, do not have anything to envy to the "super producers".
