Rappers, do you only chill/collab with the hip hop crowd in your city (producers, rappers)? Photographers with photographers, painters with painters, etc.?

Or do you like to branch out and collab with people who have different skill sets and interests as much as possible?

not a rapper, but for my creative endeavors, I find it best to collaborate with like minded people (creatively speaking)

to each their own, I like being around people on complete diff vibes sometimes because I'm stuck on an idea and don't know what to do or am just in the mood to do new s***.

Other times you definitely just want to work with people on your vibe.

Just do whatever feels right and you like doing.

i mostly work with my set group but working with people who have different skill sets than me is very rewarding

I used to hang w/ simular artists, but then I started to hang with people from all over the place and now I just do my own thing and hang w/ randoms because there's no group that fits what im tryna do. Chances are if you find a large group of people doing the same thing you're doing, you're doin some lame outdated s***.

Aint tryna hate thou to each their own.

always innovate. i agree with you

I hang out with different kinds of people but I feel more comfortable around hip-hop heads. Outside of the people in my circle I don't really know anyone in the city that's decent musically and I know quite a few of the local artists. A lot of people just talk more than they actually put out good music. And as far as who I work with musically I work with local artists as well as ones in other states, cus I believe in networking as much as possible. I have a handful of film friends that I know from when I was majoring in it too that I hope to be able to work with on the music video side of things

Nah not really. I’ve collaborated with a jazz singer and put her on some hip hop tracks, worked with rock bands and had them add instruments to our music/play live with us. Work with a variety of photographers. Collab with rappers across the sub genres etc.

i can't read music, so i feel more comfortable around rappers and DAW producers than live musicians because i'm just plain out not as educated as live musicians are. i gotta learn music theory soon

Oml learning that s*** just so you don't have to put up with musicians talking down to you is a good reason

i just gotta use skillshare and stick to it tbh. i got a bass and slacked off bad, wasted my free trial. if i pay for it maybe i'll stick to it cause it's my money on the line

also lowkey wanna go to school for music one day but the world is upside down rn so i'll worry about that a little later

Bro just get a music book $20 bucks tops and it'll give you all the chords and some good theory. f*** a subscription that some leech s***

good looks, i'll shop tomorrow

I hang out with people who are on the same creative energy as me regardless of genre, even regardless of interests. Making music around physical artists, graphic designers, and even just open minded people is dope to me

best way to be!
