Interesting take on why most remixes these days don’t have new beats anymore (at least in mainstream radio). I didn’t know this. Another reason why radio sucks… lol

    Simultaneously informative and ‘effed up! Being in IT this just sounds like an excuse to limit our creativity because its really only hip-hop and derivatives of it that utilize the remix. There has to be a way to electronically tag a record and attached that same key to another record to ensure they stay connected. The point is, Keith Urban & MIley Cyrus aren’t being remixed so they get their consecutive spins and this doesn’t impact their bottom line or their bargaining position.

    I remember in the late ’80s and early ’90s when conventional wisdom [that means without the facts] maintained that rock&roll was the dominant music genre. Lo & Behold Sound Scan comes our with empirical data [hard evidence] that Hip-hop/Rap and Country music are the most profitable and dominant genres.

    Where there’s a will there’s a way!

    I do believe that it takes away from the artform and its just used for commercial purposes but what the fuck are you talking Just? Computers? that sounds like some bullshit.

    I was just bumping the Black Moon “I gotcha opin” remix zoning out. Watching this make me sad as hell that that the era of joints like that is dead cause of BS like this. Peace to Just Blaze for the info.
