Half of its job imo. The tag is almost useless if you still don't know who the producer is. Like the nigga I knew in high school who heard "Mustardonthebeathoe" - he'd heard it on multiple songs but had no idea one guy produced all those songs or who that guy is

if your stance is “producers shouldn’t use tags” then your stance is that they shouldn’t be guaranteed proper credit on the beats they make

there is no guarantee that the artist will shout them out (and it’s extremely unlikely that they would in the first place)

in your perfect utopia where production credits are easy to find on whichever platform you use to play music, sure, that stance makes sense

however, in the real world we live in, your stance translates to “i don’t want producers getting proper recognition for their work”

Daytona has no tags but you still know it was produced by Ye. Otis was 100% Ye and still no tags. Regardless who listens to a song and says damn where tf is the jeff bhasker producer tag

Okay, please quote where I said this.

You're saying "producers should 100% use tags", and I'm saying "producers can use tags if they want, and producers without tags have succeeded elsewhere".

This all started with you incorrectly claiming Kendrick Lamar didn't put on the careers of multiple producers and his engineer. Now you're conflating having credits on a record (which is how you get paid for it) with producer tags (which are a branding exercise).

I already suggested a much better for them to go about that with artist tags. You're saying that won't happen. Okay, well Young Chop tried to be a rapper and how'd that turn out? A lot of things won't happen. Pi'erre Bourne just dropped a record with Cardo with Cardo's name in the title of it. He branched out into rapping AND he has a DJ tag. I'm not limiting anyone's options. So stop saying weirdo s*** on my name you moron.

This reminds me how much I hate how on Lord I need You Kanye is singing and pouring his heart out then all of a sudden you hear “WHEEZY OUTTA HERE”

Lil Wayne avatar saying I don't want producers to get paid also heinous. Lil Wayne literally built his career on beats he didn't pay for

Nah, just a regular 18 year old like the rest of us. And that's what I'm tryna tell you - I feel like you're underestimating just how casual "the casual listener" is

Daytona was marketed as an album entirely produced by Kanye & that was a MAJOR part of its promotion and release, that’s a terrible example to use
