Give Me My Props
Gone are the days where artists can depend on selling millions of records to fill their pockets. The 1990s saw several artists exceed diamond status- 10 million plus records sold-(Alanis Morisette, Garth Brooks, Boyz II Men, TLC), but now artists are lucky if their CD goes double platinum. But is it that the music is just not quite as influential, inspiring or exciting? Although that could very well be, the real culprit is the dominance of the digital age. In a previous post, I talked about how physical CDs are becoming extinct due to the overshadowing of digital downloads. Many music fans of today would rather the convenience of downloading a CD and transferring it straight to their iPod, phone, or mp3 players than buying a CD in the store. What about the people who wrote, arranged and produced these songs? That is exactly the petition that Grammy is hosting to bring more awareness to credits for writers, producers and instrumentalists.
