Internet marketers vs. producers. 99% of these you won't see your favorite producers doing.

@prodkxvi 10 ай бұрын

if being an internet marketer is the cost i have to pay to be able to make music every day as my job im doing it every time, of course i want to be on some metro boomin shit but at this point in my life that's not realistic for me! but hey, it's not for everyone, everyone has their own path man! There's no right answer, just tryna help

Because your favourite producers have probably been working since before these were even options 💀

@@SKEEBOFFICIAL7 you're spot on. Many of the OGs were grinding before all these new-age tactics even became a thing. Music’s about expression, not just promotion. While getting the word out is important, diving deep into the craft, the philosophy behind the beats-that's where the real magic lies. We're creatives first, always should be. 💯

@@untilco yeah okay you got a point there, it's good that we got the option now, many ppls lifes got changed because of that internet shit, I get that. But as I said, it feels like you have to do content nowadays to at least stand a chance and I mean I for myself could do it, if I just look at it as a necesity but then I'd feel like "selling my soul" to a degree and honestly don't think it'd fullfill me in the long run. So theres like 95% of the opportunities out the window instantly and idk if the remaining 5% are the same amount as the 100% from the old times you spoke about.

I just upload type beats for fun. Getting into tv/film sync licensing. I had a decent run selling beats from 2018-2020 then got very bored with it. I'm 35 and have noticed how fickle and deceptive most of these younger rappers are these days. When they have too many options, they act like they're god and they're doing us a favor using our beats when the reality is that they aren't sh1t without us. @@roninthegoat2810
