When I think of "getting the people in the room together" type people my first thought is the super producers of the 60s like Joe Meek & Phil Spector. Or more up to date Rick Rubin doing those albums with Johnny Cash or Mark Ronson. People like that.

I thought of using Rick Rubin/Johnny Cash as an example, but they don't really fit because Cash really is responsible for the core performance elements on those albums even if Rubin was making a lot of the decisions. |

I've somehow managed to go a whole decade only hearing one Kanye West song ever and that was a totally butched version of some Curtis Mayfield song that he ruined, and I'm rather proud of that fact.
He can go f*ck himself.

If Yeezus sucked, everyone would have no problem saying "Jesus, Kanye **** the bed on this album, huh?" And that would be justified (in my mind).

Another one who is, or was, great at selecting the right group of musicians to realise his vision was Alan Parsons. Although he did write and produce, so perhaps not the best example. Nevertheless, with the likes of Ian Bairnson, David Paton and even Eric Woolfson it was still always under Parsons' name, first as the Alan Parsons Project and later then just as his own name, although by then Woolfson had split with him.

He's also produced a lot of music that people may not know about. You may even be a fan of some of the songs without knowing!!

I would say when an artists start to copy other artists which has become a sad pattern. When that happens, you know the artist has lost his or her identity.
Look at artists (dead and alive) like Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson, Usher, Prince, and others. I mean they have done this and it led to some downhill of their careers somewhat. Or when the artist try to do too much with their music and tries to pretend that they can do all music when it simply does not work. That is when you know the artists is the ARTIST anymore. I got more in mind but when I do, I will explain later.
