Ohh Busta, The Computer Can't Be That Bad, Right?

May 8
I found this while browsing through some videos of artists working in the studio. Basically, Busta is really saying shit like "When I was a kid.." or "I remember when.." about the music making process in this footage. I am not sure if I agree with him or not. I do agree that the computer is deprecating the value of musicians and people in general, but I also think that programs like Ableton and Pro Tools provide people that can't afford studio set ups and whatnot to remain completive against the giant record labels that attempt to feed people what they consider is good music. The power of music is back in the peoples hands.

Affordable music software gives people the power to get involved in music and allows people to enjoy music for sheer content and not image or advertisement. Artists like Justice, Gnarls Barkley, and Chromeo owe most of their success to this new way of piloting music. Their quality of music beat out the quantity. In the same respect, things like blogs and myspace allow writers or semi writers to compete with accredited magazines, newspapers and essays. Like this little post for example.

Who knows?

PS: Don't get me wrong I love Busta Rhymes.
