Nigerian rapper Reminisce has expressed his opinion on the current state of the music industry, stating that money has become the primary factor in determining a hit song.
According to Reminisce, the quality of music has taken a backseat, and huge budgets now play a crucial role in making a song successful.
Reminisce shared his thoughts on the ‘I Said What I Said’ podcast, saying, “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.”
He further emphasized that the marketing budget of a song is now the key factor in determining its success, rather than the quality of the music itself. Reminisce concluded, “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.”
