Money now produces hits, not music – Reminisce

Rapper, Reminisce has shared his honest thoughts on the current state of the music industry.

In an appearance on the ‘I Said What I Said’ podcast, Reminisce expressed his disappointment that financial backing has become the primary factor in determining a song’s success.

Reminisce talked about a bygone era when hit songs were solely driven by their quality, rather than their marketing budget.

He lamented that the industry has shifted towards a phase where financial investment outweighs artistic merit.

“The game has now changed to another phase. The phase where you now have to spend money to get hits.

“Money now produces hits not music anymore. That’s the phase we are in now. Whatever song you see [popping], go ask what the marketing budget was. That’s what determines how big a song is. It’s no longer just music anymore.”
