The Great Giveaway

I was reading an article about producers and what is expected and how every tom dick and harry now class themselves as a producer just because they can string together a few loops, PS i dont use loops in my productions, not to say that i wont ever but to the present date i see it as a no no.
The article was written by one of the greatest, Quincey Jones on which he asked the question to producers, what is your selling point, on which no one could answer, the second question was what seperates you from other producers. again this question could not be answered.
The problem these days is that a lot of these mickey mouse gimmic fruit loopers class themselves as producers, production is more than stringing sounds together. and i fucking hate plastic producers,
it seems the craft of musician has been taken away from the art, as a producer myself i will strongly encourage you to learn a instrument (triangle doesnt count).
My defenition of a producer is this
- to build with the artist,
- to compliment what the artist is doing
- to guide the artist through the production you have created

the producer has to be able to, engineer, rewrite reproduce, adapt, motivate, develop, put in 100% until the job is done.

drop n drag and giving out a beat is NOT a producer.

dime a dozen there are a lot of fantastic producers trying to sell you beats, lease beats etc, tell you what FUCK  them off, a producer trying to get there will give you the beat for free as long as your going to do something productive with it, the producer will network and build with like minded people, hence my new approach, dont get me wrong i do give material away for free thats not a problem, i also make money via people who hire me for specific productions, if i see your working hard towards the same goal i dont mind giving it to you. so now i conclude.

the will be a link to follow soon and i will be giving you some free production tracks that i have for you to use, go out there and make it happen and when they ask you just mention me.
