Why There Is No More Super Producers ?

By Julie Major


Early on in the 2000's, the music industry, most notably the communities of hiphop and rnb, saw the coming up of what we call the "super music producers", accounting for frontrunners: Dr. Dre, Timbaland, Rodney Jerkins and also The Neptunes.

What exactly is a "super producer"? Okay, the best illustration of their difference with a "simple" producer will take on the instance of what we call a "supermodel" in fashion, for example Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer or even Naomi Campbell. You know these prominent super-models as well as everyone else and you can see them on each of the catwalks. To be brief: safe values.

This was the very same thing in the music industry: there were "big" producers, risk free, that led almost all the projects and were desired by the best known singers and also rappers. This is usually less dangerous for a record company to get a greatly admired music producer rather than a newcomer. The well known one offered a countless of rewarding singles, in principle. For the reason at that time ordinarily big producers sold discs.

However, the music industry, after the starting of the decade has changed. To start with, most people don't actually purchase disc nowadays.

Consequently the record labels offer substantially less budget for a project. And naturally, record companies will not be looking to get involved between $ 100 000 to $ 300 000 for just one single beat, as was the condition during the golden age of music producers. The cd not sell and internet develops. To do something about illegitimate downloading of their artists, record companies create or align with with statutory download platforms and hope to force their existence in this internet scene, that has been getting out their control for such a long time.

But the improvement of the internet has made possible the growing of plenty of unknown producers as good as, if not much better than, "Super Producers".

A lot of these producers have paying attention to the progressing of the Web, that has assisted those to sell their beats online. That allows them to connect and also work with rappers on a local scale as well as international one. A producer from California can sell beats to singers in Japan. It gets now more easy for them to gain a really good reputation with a career. For the artists, this makes an enormous difference! They can buy beats online in their house for their album, EP or maybe mixtape for good prices; not really those applied by the "super producers".

Record companies pay a particular awareness of this new market. They buy beats online as well. And right now we can easily notice that a number of these web producers are obtaining signed by majors.

The great epoch of super producers like the time period of super model fades away bit by bit, allowing option to this brand new market led by producers who, generally, do not have anything to envy to the "super producers".
