What Does A Label A&R Really Do In The Music Industry? Part 1 | Armchair A&R



DJ Damage, co-host of Hollywood Unlocked, is well known for his music commentary and his critiques. But does “taste making” translate to having the skill to actually make a hit? BET challenged DJ Damage to put his reputation where his mouth is and help a newly signed artist create her very first hit single. We gave him 1 week to transform into a real A&R, and prepare her for her first official performance of a new record on Island Records. #ArmchairA&R #Music

First and foremost, horrible philosophy behind selecting female role models. Second, would love to see an actual woman involved.

They tell people what they are going to hear and not what they want to hear. If you disagree, ask people what they think of modern music.

He reminds me of Merlin Santana.

When you're actually the ghost writer and people who are higher experts know who's the real genius
@ZeLuJ August 30, 2024 - 8:27 pm
I think they’re musicians themselves and they know what they want. Mostly young musicians who may have contracts with major labels
@LabronShreve-wl9rs August 30, 2024 - 8:27 pm
Those people don't know music most of them are replaced in a year or two

@cryptofreedom772 August 30, 2024 - 8:27 pm

She not young and sound likes 100,000 otha female rappers. I say no go but she most definitely has a career at song writing
@YoungShizzie August 30, 2024 - 8:27 pm

@thiago.dha.godshouse274 August 30, 2024 - 8:27 pm
I wouldn't sighn her. Cause she ignant. Lol no offense. It's cool. But it's not legendary. I need to be an a and r.
@SaltyViper August 30, 2024 - 8:27 pm
Cool vid but they should've hired someone to mix the audio. During multiple interviews the L and R channels were being used for micing separate individuals.
@jaysonwallker1648 August 30, 2024 - 8:27 pm
Anybody know what happened to the other two parts of this?
@eldiablo3794 August 30, 2024 - 8:27 pm
How you trying to be an A&R rep but you don't even know what it stands for lol
@pauli7911 August 30, 2024 - 8:27 pm
How in the world is this video mixed, reverb going crazy, mans voices going different directions from where they are sitting and music almost only in one ear. Lol!

@moshpitaddicted August 30, 2024 - 8:27 pm
Great Video! Please fix where the audio is panned...DJ Damage was all up in my left ear xD
@HunnidBarzTV August 30, 2024 - 8:27 pm
Do you have to have a ged to be an A&R
@tonikakujay August 30, 2024 - 8:27 pm
That mans Ruddy Rock a real laid-back dude it seems like but he also has his knowledge down pat with the way he carries himself. Interesting perspectives thank you BETNetworks for having this content up!
@incelinsurrection1678 August 30, 2024 - 8:27 pm
The "R" in A&R stands for "Revenue". It's never about the music. It's about picking ten rando acts, and bank on the 1 or 2 to make it big, then Ctrl+Alt+Del the rest. Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, rinse and repeat.
@OutcoldFella August 30, 2024 - 8:27 pm
