This guy is Young Guru. No, I’d never heard if him either. Mainly cos precious little of my time is spent reading hip-hop/R ‘n’ B sleevenotes, but he’s worked on a lot of big records for Jay-Z, Kanye, Mariah etc…
Anyway, here he’s talking about the recording industry, the relationship between artists and labels and the irrelevance of the majors in the current musical climate.
He’s brilliant – eloquent, insightful, experienced – it’s the best speech I’ve heard on the subject in a very long time.
Hey Steve,
Thanks for sharing. This is a real breath of fresh air. He’s brilliant!
Cheers.
Conor
That is indeed a tip top speech.
yea – inspiring stuff :>
