Super Music Producers : The Beginning Of A New Era

By Kim West


Starting in early 2000's, the music business, particularly the communities of hiphop and also rnb, noticed the visibility of what we now call the "super music producers", accounting for chiefs: Dr. Dre, Timbaland, Rodney Jerkins and also The Neptunes.

What exactly is a "super producer"? Well, the proper illustration of their difference with a "simple" producer could take the instance of what we call a "supermodel" in fashion, for instance Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer or even Naomi Campbell. You know those well-known super-models as well as anybody else and you can see all of them on almost all the catwalks. In brief: safe values.

That was the same thing in the music industry: there were "big" producers, safe values, that driven almost all the projects and were desired by the most well recognized singers or rappers. It absolutely was usually safer for records labels to take advantage of a famous music producer in comparison with a novice. The recognized producer composed a so many of powerful singles, in principle. Because of the fact that at that moment usually big producers sold discs.

But, the music business, since the start of the decade totally changed. To begin with, people don't actually spend money on disc now.

For this reason the record labels invest less money for a project. And clearly, record companies shall no longer be ready to participate between $ 100 000 to $ 300 000 for just one single beat, as was the scenario through the golden times of music producers. The discs do not sell and internet develops. To surmount illegal downloading of their artists, record companies develop or merge with statutory download applications and just try to push their presence in this online world, that has been getting out their control for way too long.

But the improvement of the web has also allowed the surfacing of loads of not known producers as good as, if not preferable to, "Super Producers".

All these producers have targeted on the evolution of the Internet, that has enabled them to sell their beats online. That allows them to reach and also work with artists on any nearby scale as well as a global one. A producer from California is now able to sell beats to anybody in Japan. It truly is now simple for them to gain a pretty good recognition to get a career. For the artists, this makes an enormous difference! They can buy beats online in their house for their album, EP and also mixtape for reasonable prices; far from those applied by the "super producers".

Record companies pay a particular awareness of this new sector. They buy beats online as well. And of late we can easily notice that a few of these web producers receive signed by majors.

The golden era of super producers such as the years of super mannequin disappears bit by bit, allowing way to this modern sector driven by producers who, often, have absolutely nothing to envy to the "super producers".
