move bacc to the crib and and set a reminder to delete that ig post u made abt moving out to LA in hopes of making it so u don't embarrass urself in the burbs supermarket when ur old school friends see u

i wanted to do music prod after i was working a ft job but in the long run it was not worth it for me because i have no exp wat so ever

It's 2020, people on the streets of Melrose, Fairfax , even west Hollywood you get a pretty good view of where the hive is lmao. I know there's more places but Even Earl sweatshirt said Hollywood is dirty and sketch half the time.
If I don't get to have an opinion on it then you don't either, all I'm saying is glorifying LA lifestyle isn't even that original you can make it happen somewhere else

Whats IE?

for every lebron there’s 10,000 lenny cookes

Unless you've lived there yourself your opinion means nothing but armchair speculation.

There's homeless all over the country, speaks to a broader issue of income inequality and corruption than the designation of one city.

inland empire. a county in socal, kinda s***ty

man

moving to LA as a music producer is stupid as hell

you can literally do everything through email/ig

if you do get lucky and work with someone big theyll most likely fly you out

Yeah... Just like there's diseases everywhere but it's not all the same lmao, there's a reason the joke of what could buy you a little apartment in LA will get a you a 3 story house in Texas

Back to the drawing board lmfao.

A lot of people that move to LA in hopes of “making it” end up being satisfied with simply surviving in LA working some call center job or some s***. I know a few out of towners that came here to be famous but are just happy to pay the expensive rent and party on the weekends

There’s a reason why Texas is so cheap... it sucks lmao

Sounds oddly specific

They get hooked on meth and then camp out in the hills for eternity

realizing this i wish i just saved up and made a move to ATL or NY or LA bc at the end of it the worst case scenario is you have to go get a regular job anyway

Yea, I’ve been saving up to do it next year. I’ll regret it forever if I don’t go for it.

I agree but how are you supposed to network online when there's hundreds of producers doing the same?

Moving to LA with some placements under your belt seems like a good option though.

They end up posting on KTT

they post endlessly on social media

They can die without regrets of not chasing their dream

Nah u rly shouldn't

You might not care so much about ur current interests 10-20 years from now

Just don't get married to a psycho

I was thinking about this the other day I was in LA. LA culture doesn't really exist anymore because it got displaced by all the people moving there from all over the world.

these types of posts always get LA people who get super pretentious about moving (even though they moved there themselves at one point) saying s*** like "dont bother, go home, too many people, we dont need you" etc and it is so corny

Move there if you want, HOWEVER

Music accessibility is stronger than ever, no matter where you live. There really is nothing stopping someone in Kansas, or Utah, or North Carolina, wherever, from building a little base of supporters online, shooting some basic music vids, sending your s*** to online publications and getting s*** popping to a certain degree

Even though I wont tell you not to move to LA, I feel like a lot of musicians who arent willing to do the groundwork for their own career AT HOME think that by moving to LA, the city will do the work for them.

This is not true. So you really have to think to yourself, have you done everything you can for your own career and reached the limit set by your geography? Do you have enough buzz to translate into leverage once you move? Or are you hoping that a new zip code will come with a career
