Why There Is No More Super Producers ?

By Jim Stern


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

What precisely is a "super producer"? So, the ideal explanation of their difference with a "simple" producer could take on the example of what we call a "supermodel" in fashion, for instance Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer or Naomi Campbell. You know those well-known fashion models as well as anybody else and you can see them on each of the catwalks. Basically: safe values.

This was the very same thing in the music industry: there have been "big" producers, risk free, that directed entirely the projects and were requested by the most famous singers and also rappers. It has been really more secured for record label to utilize a nationally ranked music producer other than a newcomer. The known producer given a numerous of winning singles, in principle. For the simple reason that right at that time ordinarily big producers sold discs.

However, the music industry, after the start of the decade changed. First, most people don't really pay for disc anymore.

Then the record companies give minimal money for a project. And obviously, record labels will no longer be ready to put in money between $ 100 000 to $ 300 000 for just one single beat, as was the condition throughout the time of the golden era of music producers. The cd do not sell and worldwide web develops. To deal with not approved downloading of their artists, record companies create or merge with statutory download websites and make sure to push their existence in this internet world, that has been getting away their control for a long time.

But the rise up of the web also has has permitted the growth of plenty of anonymous producers as good as, if not that surpasses, "Super Producers".

All of these producers have focused on the expansion of the Internet, which has facilitated those to sell their beats online. That allows them to communicate and work with performers on a local scale as well as an international one. A producer from Australia will now be able to advertise beats to singers in Japan. It truly is now simpler for them to get a really good credibility with a career. For the artists, this makes a sizable difference! They can buy beats online from home for their album, EP or even mixtape for good prices; far away from those applied by the "super producers".

Record labels pay a specific attention to this brand new business. They buy beats online as well. And of late we can observe that some web producers are receiving hired by majors.

The golden era of super producers like the age of super models fades away gradually, delivering option to this brand new business directed by producers who, generally, have practically nothing to envy to the "super producers".
