Super Music Producers : End Of The Golden Era

By Sabrina Perrault


In the early 2000's, the music industry, most notably the communities of hiphop and rnb, observed the growth of what we call the "super music producers", accounting for frontrunners: Dr. Dre, Timbaland, Rodney Jerkins and also The Neptunes.

Exactly what is a "super producer"? Well, the better description of their difference with a "simple" producer would certainly take on the demonstration of what we call a "supermodel" in fashion, for instance Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer or Naomi Campbell. You know these well known fashion models as well as anyone else and you can see all of them on all the catwalks. In brief: safe values.

That was the identical thing in the music sector: there had been "big" producers, safe values, that led almost all the projects and also were requested by the most well known singers or rappers. It absolutely was always easier for records label to exploit an eminent music producer in comparison to a beginner. The legendary one delivered a countless of excellent singles, in theory. For the reason that at the time normally big producers sold discs.

But, the music industry, since the start of the decade changed. Firstly, many people don't actually decide to buy disc anymore.

For this reason the record labels give way less budget for a project. And evidently, record labels will no longer be willing to spend between $ 100 000 to $ 300 000 for one single beat, as was the case when the golden time of music producers. The disks tend to not sell and world-wide-web grows. To deal with not approved downloading of their artists, record companies create or merge with statutory download applications and make sure to force their visibility on this online scene, that has been getting out their control for so long.

But the increasing use of the web also has has permitted the growth of lots of not known producers as good as, if not that surpasses, "Super Producers".

Those producers have paying attention to the evolution of the Web, which has helped them to sell their beats online. Giving them to reach and work with rappers on any local scale as well as a world-wide one. A producer from Paris will try to sell beats to rappers in Japan. It gets now perfect for them to gain a great recognition with a career. For the artists, this makes a sizable difference! They are able to buy beats online inside their home for their album, EP or perhaps mixtape for affordable prices; away from those applied by the "super producers".

Record companies pay a special attention to this new business. They buy beats online too. And nowadays we can see that a number of these web producers are receiving signed by majors.

The golden time of super producers just like the years of super mannequin goes away bit by bit, offering option to this modern sector directed by producers who, usually, do not have anything to envy to the "super producers".
