Why purchase rap beats online?
Listen, I'm just like you in that I loved "Fade to Black" and seeing Jay and Kanye working together making beats and vining out, but its just not the way people buy rap beats anymore.
Then, someone would purchase rap beats at a rate of 5 figures or more, compile it with the other 10 tracks they had and go for platinum on the charts. It just does happen.
First of all, who buys albums these days? All I need is iTunes or spotify and I'm banging that single all day, forget all the nonsense filler.
Because the albums aren't being sold, the budget for these huge productions is basically non existent.
All of this creates a beautifully perfect storm for the music producer who's internet savvy enough--so long as you can create a quality product of course.
So, you're telling me that people actually purchase rap beats online and make their hits that everyone hears on the radio?
Absolutely, 100% correct!
Just listen closely to the intro in your favorite song, and I'm guessing you'll hear some sort of audible producer tag leaving his mark on the rap beats.
I can't speak for all such producers, but most of these music producers are effectively marketing themselves online and garnering the attention of today's artists by having the artist come to them.
It's a beautiful system in that it eliminates the middle men, leaving everything for the actual artists of the track.
It also levels the playing field, in that "connections" or having an "in" in the industry are about as equivalent as good SEO and selling your beats online.
It's funny. I stumbled into the very concept of internet marketing through this very story I've just described.
I was a college grad, 23 years old--though I had the world by the f*in nuts!
Got a good job, in the field I studied in, and got promoted twice within two years of working for this company.
That's where the warm and fuzzy part of the story stops, because I quickly realized that the plan I had for my future wasn't shaping up to be what it was for those that came before me--my parents, their parents, etc.
Tired of trading my hours for someone else's fortune, I hunkered down and learn how to market my ass off.
In turn, here I am, a 29 year old white guy, selling his rap beats online and making a living doing it.
