    I never had to do music videos so im not 100% sure where on reddit to look. you can try to google like "reddit music videos editing" and you might find something.

    Damn that’s what I did earlier, results are mostly about how to make videos and what not. I ain’t trying to do that lol

    Yall really being funny acting like every single good idea is enough to blow up.

    Well I mean "blow up" is already vague enough. What are talking, Drake level? That's tens of millions probably and it's not guaranteed to work unless you have a LOT of good ideas. I mean how much do you think Post spent on White Iverson? You really think Kendrick had a 150k budget for Section 80? Weeknd spent 150k on HOB? A CREATIVE artist can work with any budget level and make it happen.

    150k is f***ing ridiculous, could be as little as 2k like that other guy said but I think 5 - 10 grand is realistic.

    Edit - That doesn't even just apply to music, could be movies, books, maybe even a vendor truck for food, modeling, etc. If you really have a desire to make it happen it will happen I'm not saying you're going to be the top guy though. There's levels to this.

    i think music videos editors would be a little bit more cautious with who they deal with and payments. You can whip up a dope art in 3-5 hours, but having someone send you 40 mins of clips and spending the next 3-4 days getting it right only to not get paid properly would be a huge disaster

    But you do get the point that you do need a bankroll if you're going to go the distance right? Can you be an underground struggle rapper and makei it? Yeah, but there is mad survivorship bias with a good chunk of those artists because they're the ones that you see. A bunch flame out and fail.

    Can you go from nothing to everything in a year off a good song, and if someone like Kylie and Kendall post it on their social? Or it gets plastered as a TikTok meme for a little while? Sure.

    But if you're really going to be a megastar you're gonna spend money sooner or later and you can't be completely DIY forever unless your JPEGMafia

    I mean but we’ve gotten to such a self-sufficient era in hip hop where you CAN be DIY. More artists are doing it lol

    u right

    i make music videos, film and edit

    i made over 20 from 2018-2020, all of them were serious projects and all of them were paid work

    its almost always about consultation

    traveling to film someone and then filming them based on an actual professional pre-production plan is just way too much work, there is no FAST FOOD version of that

    You may be right that’s why I think it would work if they had a insta or something that showcased their work so I can reference it. But yeah them being cautious is valid. I already got enough on my plate I ain’t trying to do vids smh

    this is why I have an issue with ppl bashing labels so much. like yeah in certain instances there's bullshit involved & bad contracts, but how the f*** else is this nondescript rapper from the hood gonna get the money to pop off?

    being an industry slave is almost the only way people will care

    This isn’t even what OP was saying lol

    not gonna front like I know what everyone's rates are. except for The Shade Room, but rates aren't that hard to find cuz u can just ask as if you want to advertise with them

    I'd guess that post is $10k or something, idk. $15k? Could even be $7.5k

    all those pages never tag people, they hashtag them which is annoying. if I'm paying you, you should tag me. but tagging someone makes it more likely the viewer leaves your feed and goes to the feed of the person u tagged so I get why they don't tag

  • Jul 1, 2021

    This is just not true. If you have no talent or passion then yeah it’s gonna take some money and meddling to get a career but plenty of the biggest artists today didn’t put up 150k. Chief Keef, Travis, entirety of Odd Future, Vince Staples, a lot of the Detroit scene, Lucki, every YSL artist) this is just off the top of my head artists that I know for a fact did not put up that kind of money to blow. To be honest I don’t even think Drake put that much money up. The reason most artists are d*** rich is because it was easier for them to get clout in the streets.

  • FlyMx

    Nigga nobody is saying money is no object . You don’t need 100k to make it as a rapper in 2021. You are quite literally living in the first and only era in human history where you can literally create a number 1 song in your f***ing basement that you made with less than $2000 worth of equipment and a distro account.

    you do have to have money to go push your art tho and there in lies the problem.

    forcing your way into the industry.

    Just realized this is a white woman saying this. Of course it’s gonna take her 150k to break a hip hop artist. I wouldn’t even give her the aux without paying me a couple dollars
