Making a Song....

Last nite I was in the studio from 5:30p to 11:00p.. Working with new Client of Mine.. But Sitting back while observing an thinking you actually have artist that really think its impressive to write and record a song as fast as they can..and I'm thinking what is the purpose????... you got guys that say " Man i one take'd that verse/ song right there "....Now is that really impressive?? What happen to the days where we worked on a record til it was " perfected" when we worked on getting the right singer rather than just someone we know or someone that just happen to be in the studio???? It takes a lot work to actually make a record happen.. Me personally I don't believe "one taking" a song is the best thing...not saying it cant be done but its rare and few artist out there that can really pull that off. Sometimes it takes songs weeks and maybe months to come together and not saying the longer it takes makes them better either but u cant put a label on music because its timeless.

On the flip side of things on making a song is that you have a lot of guys that are lyrical but cant write a complete song but are too afraid to have someone that's proven or someone that knows how to write a song help them with as far as hip hop / rap goes. I just cant stress enough when i talk to artist how important a song is these days but they wanna have the coldest lyrics but have no song content. Lyrics are good but me personally i have a short attention span when it comes to those type records unless they are catchy and that's what is paying the bills for a lot of artist these days.
