  • The old school producers were musicians. Most current producers are DJs and engineers. All they can do is manipulate sound; they can't create new music. Producers like the Mizzell Brothers could either write string arrangements like the one you hear here or hire an arranger. If you say arrangement to a DJ, he'll tell you: "Yeah, you'll get paid." Most of them have no clue. This is the only real reason music sounds so bad. You can't get to #1 if your music sounds like #2...

  • Please bring back the mizzell brothers!!! Give all modern producers some old school lessons. Those cats were some bad boys back in the day & very busy. Yet their artist held their own sound but any lover of their music could tell that they put their hands into certain material. 2days producers/artist need help trust me i'm not alone with my feelings. Peace to the old school 1 love

  • @chefbaby8879 Ikr... I Discovered Him On Kirk Franklin's Something About The Name of Jesus

  • Many Thanks For The Post ♥♥♫♫♪♪...

  • I didn't know Rance Allen did R&B back in the day. All I knew was "Something About the Name Jesus" w/Kirk Franklin. He is a funky brother. I like his voice. Now, as for the Mizell Brothers, I put them up there w/Gamble & Huff, Holland-Dozier-Holland, etc. They are very, very unsung. RIP Fonce Mizell.

  • @AcebeatGroup I'm really glad to hear that, and notice that I said "most" not "all".

  • @alkh3myst not entirely true; Im a DJ and modern producer who plays many real instruments. Its the record buisness, an industry that has been so tanked by the internet they only put out stuff that panders to kids and little girls. there are plenty of soulful, musical producers these days. check out Mike kalombo for instance

  • @alkh3myst no, the reason music is shit today is because music caters for kids, iv seen plenty of DJ's/MUSICIANS that can arrange all types of sound with real instruments, we just use tech to put it togather now, times have changed and its a shame, but we just got to swim with the current...its mainly to do with the record company's, not the shit artist lol

  • Classic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
