Super Music Producers : End Of The Golden Era

By Aby Gates


During the early 2000's, the music industry, in particular the communities of hiphop and rnb, observed the rise 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 most suitable definition of their difference with a "simple" producer would take on the demonstration of what we call a "supermodel" in fashion, such as Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer or even Naomi Campbell. You know those well-known super-models as well as everybody else and you can see all of them on all the catwalks. Basically: safe values.

This has been the same in the music sector: there were "big" producers, risk free, that led entirely the projects and were desired by the best known singers and also rappers. It was really secured for a record labels to get a nationally ranked music producer in contrast to a novice. The acclaimed producer provided a large number of powerful singles, in theory. Just because at that time for the most part big music producers sold cd.

However, the music industry, since the starting of the decade has changed. To start with, consumers don't really pay for cd any more.

As a result the record companies invest substantially less budget for a project. And as expected, record companies are no longer looking to spend between $ 100 000 to $ 300 000 for just one single beat, as was the condition throughout the time of the golden years of music producers. The discs tend to not sell and world-wide-web develops. To do something about illegal downloading of their artists, record companies create or connect with statutory download websites and hope to push their presence on this internet place, that has been getting out of their control for a long time.

But the rise up of the internet has also allowed the surfacing of loads of anonymous producers as good as, if not that surpasses, "Super Producers".

All of these producers have focused on the improvement of the Internet, that has aided those to sell their beats online. Enabling them to reach and also work with singer on any local scale as well as a world-wide one. A producer from Switzerland will now be able to promote beats to someone in Japan. This is now convenient for them to gain a strong respectability and have a career. For the artists, this makes a major difference! They are able to buy beats online at home for their album, EP and also mixtape for affordable prices; not at all those practiced by the "super producers".

Record companies pay a particular awareness of this modern sector. They buy beats online as well. And nowadays we could see that a number of these internet based producers are obtaining signed by majors.

The golden era of super producers like the time period of super models disappears slowly but surely, revealing option to this new market driven by producers who, quite often, have absolutely nothing to envy to the "super producers".
