just copped a new one

Is BADBADNOTGOOD's influence understated?

I mean after albums like III and IV came out people started to get on big psychadelic library music vibes, and people started to remember Stereolab exists.

I know others like Mac Demarco and other lo fi acts kind of got in that bag, but that hip hop jazz soul fusion s*** wasn't super common.

there's so much more quality content about ableton on youtube than there is for FL

all the old ass white guys who go super in depth

they actually know what they're talking about

nah im f***ing with you bro yk ily nigga just dm me you know you got me on dial

I dont wanna be that nigga who just blows up idk even if I could atm but I want to grow a fanbase and grow that way. People who just blow up usually tend to die down pretty fast and idek if id call my music mass marketable in the first place imma start of finding that niche audience of people that f*** with what I make but theres a lot of other stuff that needs to happen too. I don't think id want to sign to a label until I know that I couldn't handle being independent and I'm at the point where i need a label to come in and take care of those things that I'm not able to do anymore. The important part is leverage though because if i signed right now to a label i could easily get shelved just as easy and never see the light of day but once you can prove that you can generate money and have an audience that f***s with you then a label will actually decide to give you a push and choose be behind you and be less willing to try and f*** you over. You shouldn't sign to a label if you need the label more than the label needs you because you'll always be the labels b**** no matter how big you are as long as they know that they're the ones you made you who you are. Leverage is everything in business not even just music business. Its important to understand business before trying to make it in music business so i advise trying other things or at least just studying regular product business because at the end of the day your music is a product and if you're trying to compete in a certain league you gotta make sure the product you're selling is able to stand next to the rest and to be able to understand the tactics that those other products use to get where they are. A lot of people see the music business in the wrong way because theres such an emotional connection to what they make which isn't bad but at the same time if you're not just making music for yourself then you have to understand that theres a lot at play in how records are sold but that also doesn't mean that you have to be in those leagues either because you can be more successful on a smaller scale. A lot of what I learned from product business is that theres markets and testing involved in everything sold and everything is done at a small scale before it makes it in front of everyone. Get your audience going and show that what you make can work in a bigger market and people will look at you different and give you better opportunities because if someone is going in invest in you and you cant make them money then to them its just a product that doesn't so you have to prove yourself first and thats why its so hard for people to try to break by trying to just get signed and blow up. You can take the trial and error on your own and trust me you'll be good and you'll eventually have people that will be sending you offers without you even having to ask and thats the leverage you can give yourself to give yourself to success. Build up your social media and pay attention to the people who f*** with you and cater to them because they're the ones who will lead you to where you want to go. I suggest studying e-commerce, advertising and personal branding and bring what you learn from that into music. Theres also some books that I can recommend to you too just hit me up and ill guide you a bit on it.

don't deny advice

listen before you speak

it could be good for you

imma have to start paying someone to edit what i write

so u gonna share some of that Adderall?

Jk that was a good post jean 🙌

Just hit the enter key every other sentence

just throw some

in there it'll break it up nice

I got adhd had a venti caramel frapp plus i hyperfocus easily when its a topic of interest i need to just write a book gimmie a week

im too lazy to edit it

ill give someone free beats to edit my long posts

1 beat per post edited

s*** ill write a whole ass song with a beat for someone to edit my posts i fr do not like doing that s*** after i already wrote it mostly because I cant read that s*** either

i at least need to use the tab button I just cant stop flowing tho i deadass just type whats on my mind as i go

see i didnt even know what that s*** was called i said the wrong button

you just have to take care of the people who f*** with you and thats what a lot of people dont do. People just want to put out music and have everyone come to them but then it will always just be a song to them and nothing more if you dont actually connect with them on a level thats more than pressing play on spotify

I don't wanna be that dude who just blows up, I don't know if i even could at the moment! 😳 Yet I want to grow a fan base. People who just acquire fame at a fast rate usually tend to die down pretty fast, and I am unaware if I'd call my music mass marketable in the first place. I'm going to start finding that niche audience of people that f*** with what I make, but indubitably, theres a lot of other stuff that needs to happen too.

I don't think I'd want to sign to a label until I know that I couldn't handle being independent, and I'm at that point where I need a label to come in and take care of those things that I'm not able to do anymore. The important part is leverage though, because if I signed right now, I could easily get shelved and never see the light of day, but once you can prove that you can generate money and have an audience that f***s with you then a label will actually decide to give you a push and get behind you. You shouldn't sign to a label if you need the label more than the label needs you (fax) You'll always be the labels b**** no matter how big you are as long as they know that they're the ones you made you who you are.

Leverage is everything in business, not even just music business. It's important to understand business before trying to make it in the music business, so I advise trying other things or at least studying regular product business, because at the end of the day, your music is a product and if you're trying to compete in a certain league you gotta make sure the product you're selling is able to stand next to the rest and compete.

Get your audience going and show that what you make can work in a bigger market. It makes people look at you different and give you better opportunities, because if someone is going in invest in you you have to prove your worth beforehand. That's why it's so hard for people to get that "big break", just blow up, and get signed.

You can go through the trial and error on your own and eventually people will send you offers before you even have the chance to ask. Thats the leverage you can give yourself to ensure your own success. Build up your social media presence and pay attention to the people who f*** with you and cater to them because they're the ones who will lead you to where you want to be. I suggest studying e-commerce, advertising, and personal branding, then bring what you learn from that into your music
