Are you a producer or a beatmaker?

[Kris Cain]

and why do you think so?

do you really know the difference if there is one at all?

[Nasty Chopz]

beatmaker

[DjayCasper]

i just make beats
thats all i want to do
i dont want to direct a bitches vocals i dont want to teach rappers how to spit double time or which adlibs to use


i jus wanna
make beats
get paid
go home


my co producer (despite me not even being a producer) does all the directional work/writing.

im a producer... lol, i feel like i have to have some sort of control over the direction of the track when i make it. Especially when it's being done in my studio.

I dont feel comfortable anymore just letting someone "GO" over one of my beats unless i trust in there talent as an artist.

I take up my producer-like tendencies more when I'm doing a RnB joint though. Cuz producing a RnB track is like walking on egg shells.

^^once i get my computer, and start workin wiht my uncle in his studio.....i plan on being more of a producer....i like to take pride in any work i do, and also like to be a major part of anything that i contribute into. So being just beatmaker would keep me more on the sidelines...and well id rather play ..

ya catch me.

oh, and define ... walking on eggshells for me.

[DjayCasper]

i dont give a mother fuck i jus want to get the joint sold

how ever, when it comes to shit like rnb u actually HAVE to produce the joint
u can jus send out an rnb beat cd lol

[Brandon Heat]

^lmao... I even like control over my hip hop shit... which is why I mainly fuck with a small group of people until lately... it's weird yo...

[Kris Cain]

lol, and for the people saying "both"... you consider yourself a producer then.

cuz a beatmaker cannot be a producer, but a producer can make beats.

[Nasty Chopz]

i think the people that said both dont know what the difference is..... therefore probably aint producers

[DjayCasper]

theyre "weak makers" not beat makers

[Kris Cain]

i think the people that said both dont know what the difference is..... therefore probably aint producers

yea, but they could also be producing for people, and think that's what they're supposed to do as beatmakers.

i think i just confused myself... LMAO.

[I Am..]

I honestly don't know any people who are just beatmakers. I mean, your either a producer or your not. You can't be half a producer who only makes a beat, then sells it to an aritst, who in turn gives it to another producer to help "direct" the song. It dosen't make sense. I can't think of a single example where it has happened.

Or maybe I just misunderstood what Kris was asking.
