In this documentary we take a deep dive into the life and legacy of Daniel Caesar, the Golden Child of R&B! From his humble beginnings growing up in Oshawa and being homeless when deciding to make it as a successful musician to becoming a "seemingly" overnight success with his album freudian then losing a large chunk of his fanbase after being canceled for defending YesJulz. We'll touch on all of this, more and how he managed to come out of the fire as a respectable musician with a bright future!
I really gave this project all I had and think its one of my best so far! Let me know your thoughts down below in the comments. I'll see you guys again soon.

His "cancellation" was successful because Daniel offended his core listeners, black women at the time. Daniel really undermines how important it is for an artist to have that core, loyal audience. Black fans are really important to a black artist career, as they are first supporters to these black artists. I think Brent faiyaz benefitted from his downfall, as he skyrocketed in fame with his album Fuck The World.

No one has ever cared about black women on a global scale enough to stop supporting anything that may harm them so they won’t not listen to his music because he said something about them, he seems cancelled because that was majority of his fan base.

I won’t lie, that incident definitely affected how I seen Daniel as a person. He kind of became one of those artist where I had to tell my self to separate the Artist from the Art. I was heavily invested in his career for the longest because of the beauty of his music. However, when I heard what he said, as a black woman, it made me think, Why would I support something that doesn’t support me? I never stopped listening to his music granted if it came on the radio or if my music was on shuffle and one of his songs were in the mix. But I noticed I stopped searching for his music and when I would hear his music that’s all I would think about. Truthfully, I’m not apart of this whole cancel culture thing but for me personally I’ve always been one to believe when people are under the influence their truth comes out. And as much as it makes me happy to watch this video and that he is still moving along (as I don’t wish anything to hurt his career) I don’t think I’ll ever see him the same. Thank you for the video it was beautiful and a great project like always! ❤❤❤

@katgreer6113 19 күн бұрын

No but as a "foreign" black person I barely understood what racism was till I came to america. In Africa, everyone is black. I was well aware of colorism but I didn't know it could go as far as hating a whole different race. I'm just saying this from my experience. So no, its not exactly the same. Daniel had no excuse though seeing as he's from Canada.

With more and more black people of foreign extraction gaining popularity making music, films, tv that is from Black American culture or heavily influenced by it, maybe more of them should learn to respect that they aren't of the culture and therefore shouldn't speak on our issues out of respect in the same way many don't appreciate Americans speaking on their issues. It's just having mutual respect for each other's different experiences. Hell, Meek Mill got flamed just for asking South Africans what apps they prefer to listen to music on recently.

NEVER ENOUGH is literally on replay for me since it came out. It’s just so perfectly done, can’t get enough of it. Seperating the art from the artist has never been this hard. It just makes you think bigger artists having their “cancellation” and yet the world keeps moving bc they have bigger fanbase. Daniel doesn’t bc only certain people like him and the circle gets smaller…

I loved Freudian, but when I saw what Daniel said, I stopped listening to his music for years. I just heard his songs a few weeks ago on Spotify because my sister fell back into his discography after ignoring him for years as well. Maybe it's time to check out his more recent material. I subscribed.

I really do hope he sticks to being himself and showcasing to the world that being human is okay, and vulnerability is beautiful. I swear I can never get enough of Daniel, his music is so timeless.

i feel like ppl don’t really understand that he WAS cancelled. he basically spit in the face of the ppl who lifted him up, and sure it was hellas ago, and he’s got other fans, but at the end of the day the black folks that were the wind in his sails had no issue dropping him. this man at his peak was going hard, he had all the greats co-signing him, all the radio stations playing his music, selling out venues, breaking streaming records… and after he asked to be cancelled, well i don’t think he’ll ever reach the heights that we all thought he would. he was supposed to be as big if not bigger than Billie Eilish, Doja Cat, etc. Sure he’s still successful but he seriously stunted his growth defending someone who didn’t deserve it. imo he’s still successful because he’s insanely talented.

I have to say that people deciding no longer to listen to his music after he dared them to, doesnt feel like the usual cancelation. No one took opportunities from him, they just PERSONALLY decided to stop listening to him. No artists is owed peoples eyes and ears, no matter how good they are. And I hear people in the comments when they say we, black people, have issues with accountability but the "hyve mind" has a purpose ( even if its often not used correctly) and that is to keep the community as a whole safe from people who'd stab is in the back for white approval ( which has happend). Being on code has a function. Our biggest issue was his biggest issue, just having opinions without all of the facts and context and nuance. Glad he was able to reflect and change, hope he gets another chance.
