I've always wondered this. The guys beats speak for themselves SoundClick artist: Johnny Juliano - Johnny Juliano, rap beats, R&B, hiphop beats, buy beats, rap instrumentals, hot beats, they're on a completely different level to most of the same commercial crap we hear on mixtapes these days.

So what is it he's not doing right? I mean, I've only heard 2 JJ beats on a major and that was on Stevie Stones and Wiz Khalifa's first albums years ago. You'd think he'd be a lot more popular considering his huge online following (soundclick, youtube etc).

Are his beats too complicated? It is the painful kick drum he always uses? I dunno. :hmmm:

Not a ***** thread at all, I think he's incredibly talented and it probably helps that he designs his own sounds.

Thoughts?
 
juliano is working on more than people think... ****kkkk these rappers... get that video game money if you have an abstract enough of a mind

Internet traffic is not indicative of success. It is just a promotional tool.

People are also on TV and the radio. Just because something is broadcast does not mean it will translate to popularity.

There are hundreds of professional athletes that are on TV, magazines, etc. that I could not tell from the average Joe out there.


 
Hes petter than avarage, but thats it. Nothing special.
 
He's too accessible. Anyone can get a JJ Beat. Big name rappers want something that no one else can get. Not something that's common. I'm not in no way knocking his talent. But the overall popularity of his beats among amateur rappers belittle his product in the eyes of some of the big name rappers. Jay don't wanna be on the same beat that some kid in the subbubs is gonna rap to

But if you're not accessible, how do you get recognised?

I guess the same can be said for PurpsOntheBeat (808 Mafia) - he hasn't really blown up as other relatively new trap producers like Metro Boomin' and Don Dill, even with the 808 label to support him.

Produce, market and distribute top selling songs that appeal to a mainstream----> large buying audience. Producer's and maybe even a few rapper's have heard of this cat but ask your girl or your non producer associates about him. :hmmm:

its not what I meant. What I mean is that he's the best of all these Youtube/Soundcloud cats, and has a really great potential, but hes not greatly unique from what Ive heard. Its like hes beats sounds like J.U.S.T.I.C.E League, Cool & Dre (that could also be percived as a compliment)

But its not like he has his own style.

I can put it real simple. How easy is it for you to get a Dr. Dre beat? A Neptunes Beat? A lex Luger Beat? A Timbo Beat? A Mike Will Beat? A T Minus Beat? It's not. You got to be somebody or know somebody or just have money. JJ all you need is 99 cents. a lot of people got 99 cents and a lot of people grab that 99 cent JJ beat

I don't think this has anything to do with it.No matter who you are if the artist(s) not feeling the beat their not gonna rap on it or they are not gonna put it out.Maybe he doesn't the connections to get his music placed or maybe that's just simply not his goal to chase major placements who knows but it's not as easy as you think just because he has alot of fans on the internet or buzz on the internet and is hotter than alot of producers doesn't mean he has the pull to land the placements he wants.
 
Johnny Juliano has a dope distinct style , he stands out no matter what but I think he's working on larger things

I doubt that. Like I said he's too accessible. You rarely hear somebody big rap on joe shmo's beat. especially when their big.
When you're a big name rapper and you appear on the beat that everybody else has downloaded it gives the perception that you're either unoriginal, a biter, or a trend follower. these 3 things are something that no rapper wants to appear to be. They want to appear to be the trendsetters with an original sound that someone else wants to bite. Plus their's a risk on hopping on one of his beats. the risk that someone else who has done it might have done it better. A lot of rappers got some fragile ego's. That boy caught that Walmart clothes effect. cheap, mostly good quality but everybody can get it. You don't catch too many rich folks rocking them clothes from Walmart. Naw they gotta have them rich brand names. No Dickies, Hanes, Wrangler, (Johnny Juliano, Vybe Beats) They want that Versace, Gucci, Luis(Mike Will, Lex, T Minus) Both do the job. One is just richer

The real surprise is that no one has blown up off of a Juliano Beat. Thousand's of downloads. Millions of views, quite a few purchases and not one person has done anything of real significance with it. What's up with that? To me it just show's that having good music just ain't enough to cut it.

Juliano has a cartoon sound to me. nobody but Bo1da has done something similar



i thought that was a juliano beat
 
Wiz did.

It's just how the industry is. Producers are mostly considered as commodities by performers.

That stuff doesn't matter these artist's don't care or sometimes know about local dudes or internet dudes rapping off the beat first.Trust me if a major artist hit you up about a beat you already sold the exclusive rights to a local dude or somebody over the internet and you tell them that you sold it 9 times outta 10 if they really want that beat they will tell you f*ck that n*gga he ain't nobody or gonna do nothing with it anyway we gone do BIG things with it or try to buy it from whoever bought it from you and their label will back them.You know the song Versace by the Migos that's big right now?Guess what.That was Soulja Boy's beat first he recorded and released a song off that beat a year ago called OMG Part 2


Then guess what Plies used it on his mixtape last year


You think Migos cared about them using the beat first? No


You think Drake cared? No


You think Meek Mill and Tyga cared? No


Jr Boss used this beat last month and shot a video to it featuring Doe B who is signed with Grand Hustle


Migos used the same beat and put it on their new mixtape that came out yesterday

Remember Meek Mill's House Party beat? You do know the producer of that song had a soundclick page with that beat on it for lease right?

coming from the internet prolly didn't help him.. like he's selling beats for 200 dollars.. then he's gonna proly sell the same beats for 2 k to a major artist.. maybe that ****ed it up.. his sound choice could be better in my opinion.. he always these kinda sounds that you can tell it's a johnny juliano beat.. he should stop doing that in my opinion and you can tell when someone is a internet producer.. they usually over produce tracks.... to my ears at least lol
 
Could be personal choice, i don't see how aiming blindlessly for major placements can make anyone real money.
He's probably making good money doing what he does.
