The world is oversaturated with music nowadays. Busta had a point in 2007, and he was certainly on to something when he was talking about rappers recording on $200 mics and doing their own videos and mixtapes, but Busta was coming from the perspective of the 1990s, an era that 99% of these SoundCloud rappers never would have been able to survive in. It's easy to see why he was skeptical of the upcoming generation. But it's 2017 and now you can blow up with no label.
People hate that the playing field has been leveled. With things like easy accessibility to recording software, music production software, and good equipment at low prices, it doesn't take a $2 million contract to make music the way you want. He wants to put a definite definition on success. Success for me is 100k a year. At the most. I can live comfortably, take care of my wife and kids, put them through college, and make music as I please. That's what it's all about. Success at your desire.
Busta is dope and is a legend of hip hop! What he's saying is true. The major corporations are not needed to gain recognition anymore and that is a good thing. It's just harder for the artists who are truly talented and now they must find alternatives and other avenues within and beyond music to get the millions they want
I couldn't agree more my brotha... I just closed down shop on my shit I had going, got tired of the BS & lies fam... was supposed to sign my production team to a few deals, but Indy & Major... but it's wack how this shit going down! Bless fam! 1luv
Busta so real man you have to promote yourself these days 4real thats good for people who aren't big and cant get to labels but then once you blow up its like you gotta pay for everything for yourself and mostly promote yourself to
Busta is saying exactly what I've been saying for the last 3 years! But to much up & coming rappers just don't understand the level of saturation that is happening now these days!
busta should be cited in this video everytiem someone ask "why the industry sucks? or why isn't anyone selling?" because he said it.."a ringtone cost more than a song" and "the value of what we do has been depreciated" so real right there.
His central point is true in my opinion. The internet has made it much easier for talented people without money to make their music famous, but it's also drastically lowered the premium for quality and talent needed for lucrative music. It's give and take. If it wasn't for the internet, we would never have known about rappers like Big KRIT, Kendrick Lamar, Action Bronson, Yelawolf, Freddie Gibbs...etc...but we also wouldn't have had to deal with Soulja Boy, Chief Keef, Justin Bieber and PSY.
Someone already said it, but it's true... Internet has made music free, or of less value by making the tools necessary to producing it available to everyone. I think that's something positive. As a musician (like myself) you just have to forget about selling records to make a living. What will never be replaced is live shows. That's what it's all about right now. That's where good musicians show why they are good musicians. Use your experience and learn how to adapt it to this new school.
I can't even lie. Busta speaks the truth. A beat costs 99 cents, a fuckin' ringtone cost 3.99 and you can't even hear the whole song. Yo, true shit Busta. That's why you the shit, my nigga.
SNNNAAAAPPPPP ! its totally true! the new technology is totally revolutionizing the way music is distributed with the internet and high processing power for home DAWs. And unless the record companys can keep up with the technology, artists r all going to level out to the point where anyone and everyone can be a popular and in a sense professional musician... good thing? bad thing? you decide....in my opinion... It's easier to start up when your a newb but its harder to stay in the game...
Busta is the best i know he isnt hard as he used to be...understand niggaz grow old and mentality as to change i respect the grown busta and that hook with steve wonder man.....that is my life in a song.
music is so different now, that people say that i gotta change my flow to fit with radio play!! im like what!!! i would rather die then to come out with a club hit sounding like some crunk music bullcrap when i rather make a legend out of myself then to pop off for a period of time... thats what i love about nas and busta...cats who still make good music!
It's all good bro. The point is to keep pushing for you and your passion for music. Doesn't matter how you do it. Just don't throw pioneers in my face like Busta did. Throwing the forefathers out there is useless because that will never apply to me. I wasn't raised listening to hip-hop. I'm mex/blk so my mother exposed me to lots of music. My first love was classical, orchestral and opera. Today i'm multifaceted. A jack of all trades, so to speak. I am a pioneer of my own class and genre.
If the album is good, people are going to go out there and get it. Personally, I don't even have a damn CD player but i still bought that Graduation album. It's sitting in my room right now still in the damn packaging!
Popular music was about singles before it was about albums, Motown was ALL about singles back in the early days. Albums are still being made now, you just need to know where to look.
Busta u witnessing analog oligarchy yielding to digital democracy. Transitions like this can be painful at first, but within 2-3 years you will wonder how you made ever money the old way. DD will show you some new angles that magnify hustle like yours. Remember the cream always rises to the top, sun. Holla at me for an early seat on this bullet train!
Busta let me down on this one. he sounds like he can't change with the game. He must want to be a relic of the past. That explains a lot with regard to his sound becoming stagnant. STill one of my all time favs.
I'm not hatin I like SOME people from the south. Jeezy One of my favorites rappers. He talk bout real stuff. I like UGK, they cool, International Players Anthem is fire, and Scarface been around forever (UGK has too). They legends. I got real respect for them. Everybody else........I just can't get wit it
what I mean is, the cost of making records is a lot lower now, but the value of good music is still the same as ever. yes it's easier to make good records in a high end studio, but a lot of bad records are made there too. the average quality may have gone down but overall there is more good music being made now than ever before, because of the cost of entry is so much lower. unfortunately it's harder to find because we have so much crap being thrown out there.
@puzzle247365 I agree completely. I'm from the 80's and 1 thing I miss about those times are the originality those times had and how artists were looked at as totally different from the rest, like superheroes. If you look at how just anyone can produce, sing and sell their own albums without much work, skill and very necessary talent, it makes you wonder what the hell happened. I respect those struggling artists trying to make cheddar any which way they can but don't be mad about the truth.
That's the truth, but I bet at the same time all the 70s and 80s composers and musicians felt the same about hip-hop when it came out. Shit changes ain't no stoppn it! So just keep ur shit tight and original and you'll stand out!
That's exactly my point. Hip-hop has become watered down, weak and feeble and purely driven by economics. Hip-hop is not just a form of music but it is an awareness, a language, a style of dress and an attitude. True hip-hop artists are lyrical and do it for the love of the art. Rappers are molded and shaped by corporate executives and do it for the greed of economics. Hip-hop is something you live, rap is something you do. The problem is too many southern cats are rappers.
@BXKID52 (continued) Furthermore, if money is the reason not to purchase a $15 or $10 music album and/or if one or two songs are worthy of proper respect, then money (or lack there of) seem to be the object to a music listeners' intentions to appreciate and listen to music and buy music. There has to be something more to "it" than that-for not purchases music albums. I buy the music albums then burn the c.d.to a CD-R blank disc. That is how I show my appreciation for being a music enthusiast.
right but think about it. Now you have to "find" the quality music whereas in the beginning stages of hip hop, you didn't have to "find" it because it was brought to you from the get go. Meaning that as bigger hip hop got, so did the marketing and promotion. There were a lot more power players back then who had the influence and the connection to what hip hop meant to the people. Now the corporate structure is only controlled by a handful of big name companies, so $ overrides everything now.
There's a point to what he's saying though. Yes the Internet technology has allowed for people to control their own destiny in a sense where they don't need to use the major label resources to gain success. However, it still depreciates the value of what makes an artist and his/her project special. Nothing lasts as long nowadays like they use to. The Chronic album could last for at 10 years before Dre released another album and you felt like you didn't lose anything. It's different now.
You have to look beyond HOW he's saying it, and just look at what he's saying. It's really a catch 22: Giving everyone the power to do what was once in the hands of a few, kills it for everyone. At this rate, hip hop will eventually eat itself into oblivion.
It's all good bro. The point is to keep pushing for you and your passion for music. Doesn't matter how you do it. Just don't throw pioneers in my face like Nas did. Throwing the forefathers out there is useless because that will never apply to me. I wasn't raised listening to hip-hop. I'm #crispaseve so my mother exposed me to lots of music. My first love was Hip Hop.
You know what? Listening to Busta just made me realise something. That explains the rise of 'ringtone rap'. If a ringtone costs more than a track, then you alter the course of music by forcing newcomers to make ringtone music. even if you sell half as many ringtones as a track, you STILL make the same money! And it has to be in the form of 'music', because otherwise you're just an anonymous sound engineer sitting in a studio.By giving the ringtone a 'face', it popularises it and pushes its sales
@RekstarBeats I think you're missing the big picture about what he's talking about. Back in the day record companies invested big dollars on artists to bring out an awesome record which includes the best producers that budget can buy. Another thing he's talking about is how hard it was to get an album deal back in the day and how you had to show skill that separated you from the rest as well to even be considered for an album deal. When everyone don't need skill anymore to have a record.
REAL TALK, I HATE TO QUOTE TED KACZYNSKI BUT HE SAID ''TECHNOLOGY WOULD KILL THE ECONOMY,'' AND IT DID SO FEEL SORRY FOR AMERICAS FUTURE. THE YEAR 2100 IS GONNA SUCK
unfortunately that increase of supply and decrease of value is what ultimately results in poorer quality. I think that;s the real problem. nobody gets signed to make music as they please; make hits or you're getting dropped. consumers don't want to pay for bullshit
Busta is right. The days of multi million album sales are gone forever except for a select few artists. Music is free and payment is optional. The internet has changed the game for good.
Well To be honest there is actually more money going in artist and producers pockets now cuz you don't have to have the major labels if you have a good buziness sense you can distribute through online distributors to itunes and other sites and make more money selling direct. That way customers pay for the songs they like verses buying an album with one hot song and the rest just plain out sucks. Last Cd I remember buying was 400 Degrees by juvenile back in 98
They diss us computer users. Fine by me, because with $4m for an album, that they even couldn't get to sound good. No wonder why people like me turn to the computer to get the shit made right from the start. I don't have $4m in budget, but when I've done some great beat, that I know sounds good on the clubs, that I know that some talent can kick upon, then I'm totally pleased with that.
they use computers too bro they didnt "diss the computer users" lol they were upset about what came to be the terrible devaluing of music and art through the changes in society that were created not via the computer itself but by the way it was used to "whore out" the world in the same way companies had always done only to a much more decimating degree & on every level not only in what could be sold. now it doesn't matter if what it is can be made profitable alone because the computer (which in this case actually means the internet) makes it so the products (or service, whatever it may be) don't need to retain value in order to be monetized: ie. data.
Son are you serious?! X & KRS 1 shouldn't even count!!! THEY ARE LEGENDS. Yayo, Jada and X did receive substantial success....okay you get that point with Banks tho.
some aftermath albums need to drop already, stop leavin us hungry. btw if youre lookin forward to Eminems new album, make sure to type in "Eminem - The Glory " Was supposed to be submitted to Eminem for his upcoming album. People have said it has a timbo like feel to it. Read description for more info
hes making a point, but now i think that its better because it gives the youth something to do rather than robbing and stealing cause now they make music on a low budget and make money the legit way. Everybody is taking a cut from the music. Hell if you think about it, The Record companies use to make all the money because you had to recoup that 4 million back to them. music is more independent now and thats the best way to have it
It's all about money. The only people that's talking about Hip Hop is Dead ain't making anymore money. Every generation you hear the saaaame cry. Back in the day they used to talk down about blues, blues talked down to the old school r&b, and now the rap today is being talked bad about. The music that's out now has been out of years and never heard a soul talking down until they started taking their money. Don't be fooled.
Man, it's like this. I am one to believe that there is room at the top for ALL artists. I don't agree with the current state of rap music nowadays but yet in still I don't knock a nigga's hustle for try'n 2 get on. The record companies are pissed because they are no longer needed like they used to be for an artist to make it.
The world is oversaturated with music nowadays. Busta had a point in 2007, and he was certainly on to something when he was talking about rappers recording on $200 mics and doing their own videos and mixtapes, but Busta was coming from the perspective of the 1990s, an era that 99% of these SoundCloud rappers never would have been able to survive in. It's easy to see why he was skeptical of the upcoming generation. But it's 2017 and now you can blow up with no label.
Busta made a great point, ringtones really depreciated the value of singles.
People hate that the playing field has been leveled. With things like easy accessibility to recording software, music production software, and good equipment at low prices, it doesn't take a $2 million contract to make music the way you want. He wants to put a definite definition on success. Success for me is 100k a year. At the most.

This didn’t age well. We’ve got drake and his the biggest because of his investors
His voice is legendary
Busta is dope and is a legend of hip hop! What he's saying is true. The major corporations are not needed to gain recognition anymore and that is a good thing.

Popular music was about singles before it was about albums, Motown was ALL about singles back in the early days.
Albums are still being made now, you just need to know where to look.

I just became a Busta fan. I never realized how smart he was...
I'm not hatin I like SOME people from the south. Jeezy One of my favorites rappers. He talk bout real stuff.

Busta Rhymes - Get Your Some

MONEY GETTIN NATION
what I mean is, the cost of making records is a lot lower now, but the value of good music is still the same as ever. yes it's easier to make good records in a high end studio, but a lot of bad records are made there too. the average quality may have gone down but overall there is more good music being made now than ever before, because of the cost of entry is so much lower. unfortunately it's harder to find because we have so much crap being thrown out there.
busta rhymes was ahead of his time.

Busta telling it how it truely is! lol thats sum funny sh_t right there ha
Ha Ha! Still got the best adlibs in the game. Busta!
hell yeah!! Shit, if it aint on Limewire then I aint buyin shit unless it's an artist I really like!!
That's exactly my point. Hip-hop has become watered down, weak and feeble and purely driven by economics.

the song playing in the beginning is called "get you some" off of busta's the big bang album
you gotta keep hustlin and moving with technology

This is a pretty good video. He tells the truth. Too many rappers out there jus putting out garbage but the game is messed up now.
that closing track is nice...on some EWF type vibe..
oh no! only 4 million? wow

haha busta is awsome.. so true.. every word..
That the reason why I love Busta lol the guy said all the right the thing but shit was funny

That shit about the ringtone is SO true. Seriously, .99 for a full song, 3.99 for a ringtone? WHAT THE FUCK.
Bust is the truth
this geeze knows his business
TRUE'' TRUE'' TRUE'' AND WHAT HE DID NOT MENTION IS THAT IS THE QUALITY HAS SUFARD TO
busta with the real talk
dat shit is tru... real words by 1ne of the legends in tha game.
REAL TALK, I HATE TO QUOTE TED KACZYNSKI BUT HE SAID ''TECHNOLOGY WOULD KILL THE ECONOMY,'' AND IT DID SO FEEL SORRY FOR AMERICAS FUTURE. THE YEAR 2100 IS GONNA SUCK
unfortunately that increase of supply and decrease of value is what ultimately results in poorer quality. I think that;s the real problem. nobody gets signed to make music as they please; make hits or you're getting dropped. consumers don't want to pay for bullshit
He Was Just Making A Perfectly Valid Point Is All. It's Just True, The Fact That He's Talking About It Don't Mean He's Hating
Busta is right. The days of multi million album sales are gone forever except for a select few artists. Music is free and payment is optional. The internet has changed the game for good.
absolutely right
SHPEAK ON THE BUSHTA !!!
CASS B. of DIRTY WORK
VIEWED YOUR VIDEO!!
keep pushing that all.
the first tune is Busta Rhymes Get You Some first tune off this Big Bang album
The music industry should just file a lawsuit against microsoft & bill gates, if it wasn't 4 the computer industry we'd still be buying cd's and tapes
Well To be honest there is actually more money going in artist and producers pockets now cuz you don't have to have the major labels if you have a good buziness sense you can distribute through online distributors to itunes and other sites and make more money selling direct. That way customers pay for the songs they like verses buying an album with one hot song and the rest just plain out sucks. Last Cd I remember buying was 400 Degrees by juvenile back in 98
Those be the truest words I ever heard Buss. And it's a sad fuckin' reality too.
break it down busta bus! thats whats up!
BUSTA RHYMES FT. Q-TIP GET YOU SOME

haha yea it's real, and that's exactly what i'm doing. Get money, fuck the world
Son are you serious?! X & KRS 1 shouldn't even count!!! THEY ARE LEGENDS.
Yayo, Jada and X did receive substantial success....okay you get that point with Banks tho.
Busta is da truth.....
some aftermath albums need to drop already, stop leavin us hungry.
btw if youre lookin forward to Eminems new album, make sure to type in "Eminem - The Glory "
Was supposed to be submitted to Eminem for his upcoming album. People have said it has a timbo like feel to it.
Read description for more info
Damn these Southerners!!!
hes making a point, but now i think that its better because it gives the youth something to do rather than robbing and stealing cause now they make music on a low budget and make money the legit way.

Nsereko Passing Thru!
Man, it's like this. I am one to believe that there is room at the top for ALL artists. I don't agree with the current state of rap music nowadays but yet in still I don't knock a nigga's hustle for try'n 2 get on. The record companies are pissed because they are no longer needed like they used to be for an artist to make it.
