It’s been months since I wrote something hot. I havent REALLY liked a beat on YouTube in a minute either. Trying to be as unselfish as possible when I say this but ever since quarantine started I’ve never been so lacking of inspiration. There’s nothing to write about lol.

How do y’all beat creative ruts/ writer’s block

Just wrapped up a quick verse. I’m not really gonna call this “the break” of my writers block but hey it’s something dope I finally like:

All alone and imma blow
And I did It by myself so I aint gotta let you know
I told you all my dreams and you told me how I’d fold
I thought you had some faith
But you can’t see past your nose
It’s honestly depressing all the s*** that I been stressing bout
Like if I should go the college or the passion obsession route
I know whats in my soul I gotta let it out
But meanwhile the pressure mounts
I cant be stuck up on this couch
I gotta chase the big amounts
I hear the money callin
But 9-5 ain’t really money talkin
I know what I need
momma set me free
I’ll come back with cash
I’ll come back with cheese
I am not a doctor but this music what I bleed
I am just an author on the feelings that I feed
Imma cop a gun, imma cop a piece
Promise I wont pull it out until the s***s in need

My best advice: hang out with people that inspire you. The best way to get out of a creative block is to see someone that you know doing something amazing. You then have the confidence to do the same.

write every day. it doesn't always have to be "hot".

When the mind is uninhibited and free, creativity flows

Some people reach that place with d****, but you can just do whatever makes you feel free and then do your art

taking a break can help

Idk if this is true, but I’ve heard expanding your music pallet helps too. Like so mainly listen to hip hop, rnb, a little pop (blackbear, lilspirit) and that’s really it. So I’ve heard exploring other genres could possibly induce more creativity out of me.

100%. A good thing to do is figure out what you like about the music you like. Once you know that you can look for those elements in music across different genres

Hate to be one of those guys bro but feedback on this? Wouldn’t call it a “break” but smoked a joint and wrote something I liked earlier today:
