Yo yo, what it dew? Here is the latest episode of Live from the Writer's Bench. This week's topic...Ghost Producing. Check it out...
Me too. I watched it. I'm just saying, granted the post hasn't been on here that long, this exact same video was posted on the okayplayer board. And no one really responded there either, and they gave a run around answer. But look at all the posts that get responses. We have posts on why DJ Mustard is corny, the same top 5 producer posts, a post dedicated to thoughts on Young Thug, and everyone's quick to respond and go through the typical hate, no hate "opinion-ating," however the responses on what should be the most visited, read, and discussed issue concerning all of us has gone ignored (on okayplayer.)
But instead of me complaining about why no one's responding, past it being a "good convo." What are your thoughts on ghost production? Who of the people that were talking do you agree with most and why?
I almost had to stop listening because they're not being entirely accurate. For example, A lot of times, Quincy Jones didn't write a whole lot of shit. He also didn't play every instrument on tracks. Matter of fact, by the time niggas got to Thriller, he wasn't playing any of the instruments. On Man In The Mirror, he didn't play a part in any of that track Siedah Garrett and Glen Ballard wrote the song. He heard the song and told them to get the track ready and he came and added little sprinkles here and there and basically told everybody what to do to bring the shit to the next level. I get what they're trying to say, and ghost production definitely exists, but niggas need to get their facts 100% straight before they put shit like this out and start saying people's names.

that's what producers do ...that's the difference between beatmaker and producer
you run the whole show from budget to who writes and plays instruments,who records,mix,and master
you run the schedule as well
the producer has a tons of things to do...
