:wow: Yes I'm late af but this nikka is the GOAT pop producer/songwriter. His list of classics is impeccable. No wonder young Abel is sitting on #1. Looking forward to more chart toppers in the future:blessed:

A Max Martin thread in The Booth? :youngsabo:

You should damn near be forced to call up the offices of Wally Russell and get a sample clearance when discussing Max. I've been trying to get discussions started on him here for months, it never works out . . I think Max Martin needs to get into hip-hop and actually work on popularlizing the style of a real rapper . . putting that pop sound into it that was so popular at the turn of the century

What would happen if Max Martin and Dr. Dre worked together . . imagine a joint venture between the two working on launching the next superstar

I think it's just a case of people having a diverse taste in music. You should try it sometime.

Nice try with your attempt to uphold lowest common denominator music.

LOL at equating pop to "having a diverse taste in music." People who listen to pop heavy have the least diverse music tastes period.

Well . . "People who ONLY listen to pop have the least diverse music taste" . . but pop has always adopted popular traits from other musical genres . . hence the implementation of EDM style production techniques in a lot of pop music these days . . but ignoring pop and the influence it has on successful modern music is ignorant. regardless of it's too your taste or not you should be able to recognize what makes it successful. People need to see beyond themselves

He had some fuego instrumentals for some of those teen pop stars. So funky and catchy. That would be interesting to see:wow:

if you are a fan of music in general than you should have some respect - even if its begrudging - for the impact max martin has had. its tough to find a big artist he hasnt worked with in the last 15 years. him and luke have had an almost unprescedented run. plus they've been looking to the future grooming kids like benny blanco and cashmere cat for a min. pop music will def get interesting in the next few years when those dudes take on a bigger role.

the blueprint max and luke developed, im definitely sick of... but you gotta respect it.
