Listening to Today's Music Records, To Make Your Own Songs Better...

By: AaronBeats

If you listen to today's music on the videos, you will hear a wide variety of songs and beats. You even nowadays hear r&b artists singing over hip hop beats, and rappers rapping over r&b beats!

The two genres are blending a lot in today's music. One of the mistakes that many up and coming rap artists make is, they are too concerned about being what they call "real," as in being gangsta or hard. It seems like they are more concerned about being hard than they are about selling records and getting paid. So they use only beats that are hard and "gangsta" sounding.

They only talk about shooting and killing over these hard rap beats. It's ok for them to do this, if this is what they want, but every song on the project can't be that way if they want to get their songs on commercial radio. If you want to get your music on the radio, and on BET or MTV, you have to have at least a few songs, that appeal to different audiences.

A lot of up and coming rappers don't do this, and they miss out on a whole entire market of possible customers! The goal is to capture the attention of these people through mass media such as the radio and tv, so that they will buy the album. Once they buy the complet album, they will then have access to the rest of your different styles.

Keep This in Mind:

People in the streets will copy your record! Listeners from the Radio and T.V. will most likely pay for your CD!
Which one do you think will get you to Platinum Status Faster?
My artists are going to sell 200,000+ CD's this year! How about you?

So the point is, if your goal is to capture as many listeners as you can, then you have to create music that everybody can listen to. You shouldn't make songsonly for the streets unless that's as far as you want your music career to go. You have to make songs for the hood, the parties, the radio/tv, and for the car. That way, you can receive sells and money from all of those different markets, instead of just from the streets. Today's hit music has one thing in common: No matter how dumb it may sound, it is catchy. Even though I am a true musician and sometimes don't want to agree with it, it is the truth.

Don't believe me? Listen to Laffy Taffy! It may get awful ratings from a lot of artists, but the girls love it, and it sticks with you. Think about it: How many times have you talked about it with someone since the stupid song came out? How many times have you listened to it when it came on the radio just to see how stupid it was?
