StyleRazzi Speaks: Leaked Music

So, over the long holiday weekend, MediaTakeOut got it's hands on a new Usher track that was produced by Polow DaDon. Recently, leaked music has KILLED the music industry. Artists are having to re-record entire albums due to tracks being leaked to the internet. 50 Cent even tore up an entire office due to a video being "leaked" before it was scheduled to be released. Most folks think it's competitors that are responsible for the music being leaked but, contrary to that popular belief, it's usually people that are directly linked to the artist or people that are thought to be "friends/associates" of the artists, producers, etc.......


I don't know about them but, if I was a producer/artist/ A&R, I would start patting folks down upon entering my studio. Cell phones, recording devices, I-Pods, etc would be required to be left outside of my studio just to protect my work and the work of those in my camp. Someone in Alicia Keys' camp is doing something right because she just sold 742,000 her FIRST WEEK, which is becoming almost impossible for urban artists. Producers like Polow Da Don, Jermaine Dupri, J-Lack, etc may want to be real careful about who they let hear new Usher tracks because, next thing you know, the song will be all over the net and money will be lost!!!!!! And, if Usher evens wants a fair chance to compete with new artists like Ne-Yo and Chris Brown, he may want to record ALL of his tracks at a home studio, have them mixed right there in his presence, and keep them under lock and key until it's time to release them to his record label. It may sound like a lot but I'm sure Pepsi doesn't have their trade secrets floating around for all to copy....... Just my thoughts!!!!!
