Beyonces 24 Song Writers

From: Steve Lukather session guitarits / Toto

There is NO entry level to the recording business anymore. You plug in the drum machine you are a writer. You roll a joint  in the room you are a writer. You say ‘YEAH’ . You are a writer etc.. AD NAUSEUM!

Some idiots think they are musicians cause they ‘play the drum machine’!

Please get a breakdown of who wrote what on that song. Name names. Details. Who wrote exactly what! I wanna know. Don’t you?

If in fact today’s rules applied back when I was a studio musician doing 20 some odd sessions a week back when human beings played together in a room and made music, or did a quick overdub post tracking, 98% of the time I was handed a chart with chord symbols on it and they count off the tune. NO rehearsals, NO demos. You better play something and something great. Create a hooky part as I did on shit tons of hit records.. ON the spot! Example. Human Nature by Michael Jackson. Track was done and there was no guitar. Quincy called me in and said ‘Luke ya gotta make this funky for me’ and I came up with the part you hear on the record on the spot. Turns out the writer my old friend Steve Porcaro hated my guitar part but it’s there for posterity. Q was kind enough to give me arranger credits and it got a Grammy nod but not a win for that category.

Fuck I should have gotten writers’ on ALL the tunes I played on by today’s rules and I would have Elon Musk money and would be writing this from my personal space shuttle from my own personal planet!

24 writers??  hahaha

That just shows you the greed and bullshit that exists today. It’s NOT racist. People negotiate the % splits BEFORE the first note is played. A  #1 record with 24 writers??? Being a tad sarcastic, that will net you like 42 cents each in todays market.

It’s EGO!!

Song comes on the radio and a person says ‘Yeah I wrote that’ NOT telling anyone 23 OTHER people did too.  What…did everyone contribute a WORD? Cause there are like 4 chord changes at best on any of these songs.

I dig Beyonce. Nothing personal here. It’s the CONCEPT this can even be done and that people get away with it!!!

I love Diane Warren, a friend for like 35 years. We have worked together many times over the years and she is an incredible woman and funny as hell I might add! If she is a racist then I give up.

She just called it like she sees it and she tells the truth. Truth hurts doesn’t it

The break down made by this YouTuber definitely deserve to be placed here in Music Wars.
