would be interesting
think of all the copyright infringements though HAHA
but.. im guessin it would be a licensed company and if you were to be in the show as a beatmaker/contestant then you would have to sample music from its company.....

they meet old school beatsmiths. maybe they each get one track to work with. two days. and then they play it, but instead of it just being a panel, they get a whole bunch of party people in the place, and whatever beat the crowd is moving more to, wins.
they could still bring back that corny dude from project runway, just for comedy sake.

but this post already has more women in it than i have ever seen in an MTM post, so i could be COMPLETELY wrong about that.

but it's gonna need a vocal element imo. So it'd need at least some rappers/singers to judge besides other producers. And it's gonna have to be a variety of styles too. If it's just a bunch artist from the same region or demographic, it could be one of those shows that gets lost on MTV. But you have a variety of styles akin to Project Runway (which has already been mentioned) then it could jump off i think. It'd be real interesting to see each contestants backgrounds and how they got into making music in the first place.
Your average 'beatmaker' has the personality of cardboard and your average television viewer could not possibly care any less about 'beatmaking'
And imagine the premise for the show...follow some crusty antisocial recluse into a dirty record store owned by other crusty recluses and film said crusty recluses playing and rewinding playing and rewinding records until one is finally found
Then the camera follows crusty recluse beat digger back to his dirty pigsty of a crib for more filming of more detailed button pushing, rewinding, knob turning, and sitting, accompanied by silent awkward pauses which are only interrupted by heavy congested breathing, swallowing, and nonsense mumblings from crusty recluse to himself while he has tuned out the world in his headphones
Finally, the dirty little beat digger plays his shitty half assed beat that only sounds shittier to the viewer, as it is played through a t.v. with crappy speakers, not to mention it was distorted in the original recording...beatmaker nods his head, viewer scratches his, wondering 'why did i just waste 25 minutes of my life watching this shit?'

You bums take heed to the Great Yadgyu. When you see me on TV, flashing money and talking crazy, you cheer for me with all of your might. I could make or break a show like that.
24. "your view of producers/production is a bit narrow" In response to Reply # 20
kanye west. pharell williams. timbaland. dre.
different personalities. different production process. not everybody starts out by going to a record store.
while it is true that some producers are socially inept basement dwellers, its up to the producers to make sure that they pick a mix of personalities and styles.
and a big part of the show as mentioned above will take place in the "interactions" not in the solitary beatmaking process. how they interact with the artists they are assigned to. how they take on the various challenges they are faced with such as a remix project. how they deal with incorporating studio musicians.
you guys have to look at the world beyond your laptops. production in the real world can be really exciting. and America's Next Top Model owes a lot to the sharp editing. Without the slick editing, alot of these shows would be a yawn fest. and everybody wants to be a beatmaker nowadays.
i don't envision this being on FOX or NBC but something this niche could be picked up by MTV2 or HBO. And the production cost of a show like this will be low anyway.
and for the rest of people that still take themselves to seriously around here....if you could find a tv show to actually air knob turning (eye don't care how great y'alls personalities are)..all editing aside,...GO For it...
youtube is a great tv station too! i think it's even free...you wouldn't have to pay anybody to host your cool "reality" show
much love, Kyle

The popularity of reality TV shows is 10% the premise and 90% the interpersonal interactions.
What drama would happen with a bunch of secluded mofoes getting together once a week on some "oh shit, that's a hot sample!" "man, rework that kick drum tho" "yo, i bet y'all can't guess what this is from" ?
