 Really quickly I actually had this video done last week and I already plan to drop it today but I had to make one quick edit because two days ago Lil Nas X actually showed love to the channel. First and foremost man really appreciate that you definitely didn't have to do it and the fact that you did shows that you're a real one and not only is it big for the channel it makes you an inspiration for the artists producers and other business people that follow it. Wish you much success to you in your career bruh. Brain man community let's put some bowls in the comments for Lil Nas X. What's up everybody once again it's Brain Man Sean and we got to talk about why Lil Nas X is so great and even though things are going so well welcome to be a huge threat to his career and something all artists have to think about. Now first and foremost this video is not necessarily about Old Town Road but if you know who Lil Nas X is then you probably have heard Old Town Road viral hit the thing is super catchy created a little bit of controversy in terms of being pulled off the Billboard charts in the country section all that good stuff but what's so great about that track is it's another reminder that in this era all it takes is one track to bring attention to everything else you have going on and this is why Lil Nas X is so great and why he's in such a good position right now Lil Nas X didn't just start posting music he's been posting music for a decent amount of time and when the song that a lot of people would think and consider as a troll blew up Old Town Road ended up having the same effect as Doja Cat's Moo I'm a cow song when that blew up a lot of people saw her for the first time thinking yo who's this troll this girl's hilarious but then when they start to see the rest of the music they were like yo this girl's a real artist she's super dope the same thing is happening right now when it comes to Lil Nas X if you go listen to this dude's music this dude has a lot of really good music a lot of catchy music maybe it might not be your style but for the style what it is yo this dude is hitting man he got some slaps and the great part about it is this other music legitimizes him to a lot of people who thought of him as just this country rap guy who trolled with this song who has this type of music you can really get a sense of who he is for real for real through the rest of the music like in songs like carry on he actually goes pretty deep talking about some of his struggles some of the things that kind of put him in a depressed state and then in songs like Naserati and Sonic they're fun they have great flows and you can ride to him and he has a lot of those songs this means the fact that Old Town Road blew up created a lot of real fans for him a lot of people have gone back checked his music out and said yo this dude is like for real legit and I know OG fans like to hate on people who come in new but it should be that way everybody's not going to discover everybody at the beginning but let's talk about the threats that comes to Lil Nas X's career at the same time if you look at how he put things up yeah he hacked things together a lot of times right there's the visualizer which are basically just videos that are using clips from the things that he's talking about or relate to the subject of his song in some way just like Sonic shit he uses Sonic the Hedgehog clips in Old Town Road he used clips from Red Dead Redemption and so on and so on the only real music video I've seen for him is the carry on video where he's standing in the graveyard and in the same way he used a lot of other people's visuals he also from what I've heard use a lot of samples everything I've pretty much heard from him has been a sample so when you hear some of these songs and you're like yo this is super dope I want to listen to it all the time because they're on YouTube and then you try to go to Spotify and iTunes they're not on there and of course if you know anything about when it comes to Apple music and Spotify things like that those are avenues where you are making money on it for sure when it's on those platforms and if you don't own the music especially when it comes to samples samples can get tricky you got to get them clear then it creates a problem I guarantee he would have far more streams and listen to his music if it was able to be put on Spotify when I first looked at his Spotify he only had Old Town Road and the Old Town Road remix now on April 10th Sonic Shit was posted that got cleared up but Sonic Shit was actually be used by Lil Yachty and done by Digital Nas which is actually a funny coincidence because if first of all if you guys don't even know who Digital Nas is he's a really dope producer out of Atlanta but Nas is actually his real name when it comes to Lil Nas X Nas is not his real name but it's funny that the producer's Nas and the artist is also Nas maybe it was meant to be shout out to Digital Nas by the way he was actually one of the headliners at my music festival last year but back to Lil Nas this guy has a great set of music that he's able to rap over which makes him a little bit unique as well if you listen to all of his songs the production is so different but he knows how to fit in the pocket of each and this is what makes his career so promising in my opinion because at the end of the day like it feels like this guy can make another one he has banger after banger after banger it's been a while since I've retroactively looked at a new artist's music and just seen so much music that really hits that spot so right now to me he's at a standpoint where it's like yo you got this hit that actually brought attention to the rest of your music which is actually really dope as well so you have a lot of fans but you're not able to actually maximize on most of your music because it doesn't seem like it's clear that's the only reason I can imagine that so much of it isn't on Spotify so much outside of the fact that he might just be a kid who didn't think to do it but at this point I think there's enough people with a knowledge around him that they would have put it on there if they were able to but whatever is going on at this point that's holding up a lot of the songs from being maximized at this point I really do believe that he can make another hit and that's one of his biggest advantages he has the ability to make something catchy it's not the first song that combined country and rap or even doing a more rap version of country it's not the first in that space or category but he caught one now it's time to just see what he's gonna do with it can't wait to see what buddy does would love to know what you guys think about a little nice ex as well have y'all listened to his music and if you haven't check it out like for real if you're the type of person who likes that type of music trust me you're gonna be like yo he's that dude other than that if you
