ALRITE U HAVE SOME ARTIST WHO DO 4,5 SONGS A WEEK, (NAAH CALL NUH NAME) HOWEVER SIZZLA USE TO DO THE SAME THING AND HE HAD TO SLOW DOWN, DO U THINK THAT THE MASS PRODUCTION OF SONGS IS GOOD FOR THE INDUSTRY OR THE MARKET...IT KEEPS THE AIRWAVES BUSY BUT AT THE SAME TIME ITS STIFLING OTHER YOUNG POTENTIAL ARTIST WHO COULD HAVE THAT SPOT, SO TELL MI PPL WEH U THINK??
for me everything is sounding the same since lately maybe them need fi slow down, they might exhaust the industry idk, sounds like the same thing you said XD
Pun, you already know my answer: "Hell flippin yes it's killing the industry!"
Well, you have to think like ah artist, dem creative juices not flowing all the damn time, how comes them feel seh dem haffi come out with tune all the damn time then?
Yo, mi glad seh di music 'ting gone digital, because mi woulda broke long time if mi still use fi buy record! There is no way most dj's/selectors would be able to keep up with all of these new tunes if it were not for mp3 ting, no flippin way!
Too much damn tune all the damn time. Ah riddim drop, 20 something tune pon di riddim? Fi wah? How mi ago incorporate twenty something tune into a mix segment? Guess what, I'm not! Only ah handful ah tune ago get play, and the rest, I don't even listen to. I don't have the gigabytes, time, or the damn patience!
Sorry for the tirade, but ah suh mi feel still.

Every big riddim thats released features quite a number of the top dancehall artiste today. Each of them have has their own cult following which ensures that the dancehall industry is alive and well. However, new artiste are not readily recognised as the more popular ones out there, so it takes much longer for them to gain a little recognition and start making some money, which is basically the aim of anyone in business. New and upcoming creative artiste would soon realize this and would shy away from the industry, thus eventually killing the industry, cause lets face it, the popular guys won't be around forever.
It will kill the industry cause ppl are gonna start getting tired. There is so much music out there I can't remember whats new anymore. And alot of the new riddims that are droppin aren't too good. If they took their time and made some quality work, then the industry would be much further than where it is now.
does it kill the industry? NO! does it degrade the quality? YES! many ppl (both artists and producers) would have never reached to that point in their career, where they are now, because it never was that easy before to produce music (high quality music? ok thats another topic) and release it. but its up to the djs, selectors, promoters, radio hosts and last but not least all, who consume the music, to part the good stuff from the crap. i dont play new tunes, just because they are new, and when there is a month full of only crappy releases, i dont burn a single cd for that very month, so what?! i think in the end quality survives every hype. come back in 5 years and ask the ppl, which kartel tunes they remember from 2009 and then ask them how many mavado tunes outta 2009 they can recall, and mavado will take that straight (i dont want to start a gaza/gully argument, cuz i dont give a $hit and i dont take sides, but thats the best example imo). @ zeeks: i dont think back in the 90s were less releases per riddim, eg ward 21 voiced more than 50 artists on some of their riddims.
its true but times are changing and we are not robots that just take anything wea re people with choice we choose whats nice from the whole bunch and like that
it really doesnt kill the industry bust very rare you find an artist which can maintain a premium standard of music, lil wayne is one artist from the hip hop genre which paractice the mass production music evidently produce some fcury Elephant man is one from the dancehall genre which also produce some @#$%ry to not saing they done do some good tune
