 Pow what's up everybody once again it's brand man Sean and today I got to talk about the fact that it's a lot of you guys who are going to ruin your chances of ever making it if you don't get out of this mentality yeah and by the way at the end of this video I'm going to put a Kanye clip that goes along with what I'm saying that you'll probably be interested to see stop complaining about other rappers other artists musicians why this person shouldn't be making it why this person is better than that person it does zero to help you if anything you know it makes you look worse if you think about somebody who's had success like Pat Poole or Wile A although I've loved these guys music in the past they've made themselves unenduring to their people who are already fans by just spending so much time complaining as opposed to being grateful for their already winning spots but fuck that that's some surface level shit I'm actually gonna tell you why it actually makes no sense that people spend time complaining about other rappers artists etc using rap people don't want to hear about anything but the booty and sex and the drugs and bruh it's not true conscious rappers have been winning for a long time abstract rappers have been winning for a long time there's so many facets and if you look at the results they all can win especially today there's no excuse just because commercially one gets pushed more than the other and you might spend time around people who don't appreciate anything but the other it doesn't mean that there aren't people somewhere that exists that love other types of music so you can't really say that when you have people like commentants I live quietly and chance to rapper and hops in and so many other people who have won big without really spending time on those types of subjects even if it didn't exist or wasn't currently commercially popular then just do like Kanye West the biggest artist on earth who made the backpack conscious thing popular go back and listen to everything Kanye says about things he's done he's very very intentional about knowing and remembering that he came from the conscious hip hop rapper backpack society it's not really a society like formal group but you know what I mean and let's just say this is number two but most people consider real music the music that they like it's fine to love the music that you like but you can't say just because someone else has a certain type of music that they do that is not real music if you want to get real hip hop started completely as party music it wasn't this whole conscious thing it wasn't even about gangs all that stuff came later it started when people had get-togethers and then got into the dj and then the rapping started with the mc all that kind of stuff but it's there go see it but just in case you don't have your time to do some for real for real research here's a short little cheat sheet note what's one of the oldest popular hip hop songs you don't stop your rocket to ain't nobody life getting saved off that song ain't no struggle in them tunes get away from the real music mentality none of us are the final authority on what is real good bad any of that stuff you like what you like you stick in whatever lane you feel you want to be in and keep going from there music is not a zero some game think about the fact that if there's somebody that's really popping and you hate them for whatever reason you feel like it's not real music are they taken away from your success not at all maybe they're fans it sounds like wouldn't even be your fans so them winning is not keeping you down only thing is keeping you down is the fact that you can't realize that them winning has nothing to do with the fact that you can win i don't want to hear them excuse the game is hard enough without fake obstacle don't make shit hard on yourself cuz i remember will Smith saying that he goes heads down and he's running he's running and every once in a while he looks up and sees where he is you know what that is that's focused he's not worried about what other people are doing he's running as fast as he can getting what he can't done and then he stops and really sees what other people are doing and the way i think about that just for success in general but particularly in music since that's what we're talking about is you got the game and there's a lot of people who are moving and shaking then you got the bench and then you got the crowd now it doesn't mean that it's not okay to ever look at other people and see what they're up to but when i talk about artists what am i talking about i talk about how they're doing what they're doing so if you see somebody and even if you don't rock with what they're actually producing as a product but maybe you might see why is this person winning you study that and that's the only kind of information i put up why how people do what they do why they are winning but that's all that should matter to you that right there is called doing your homework because i think about being in the game being on the bench or being in the crowd if you're in the game that means you're moving shaking you're producing you're making the moves that you're making all of y'all should be spending most of your time there or trying to figure it out but then if you're on the bench you can spend a lot of time there because you're just watching the game and you're studying what's going on for when you get back in the game that's how you should be looking at other artists you're wasting time talking about who sucks and who doesn't that's what people in the crowd do you don't have time for that worry about yourself and your own success low-key this is why a lot of the rappers who are more street life driven are winning especially the ones who are for real for real from the streets why because they're conditioned to only pay attention to themselves when you're in the streets especially if you want to survive and thrive you don't really have time to spend time hating you have time only to see what the next move is because you've got to get things popping you don't have time for all that other stuff and if you listen to some of these interviews by like a 21 Savage or just some of these other artists who are for real from that and they get questions asked by these interviewers they'd be like well I don't really know about that I don't really know about that I don't even when young thug was asked about black rights and all that kind of stuff what do you think needs to be changed in the way black men are policed in america lead that up with the critics and the laws and all that old shit we having fun we iced out we having money is how we're doing i know that's a little extreme you might want to care about your race and all that kind of stuff but the fact is they're only paying attention to what moves them forward anybody outside their world they're not really concerned with it because it doesn't affect them and so many of them are focused on money but the things you have to do to get money is actually entertain actually engage create a fan base so in a weird twisted way oftentimes they're actually focused on the right things to have a better music career than a lot of the artists who are just saying hey this is my art because not everybody but a lot of people get distracted by my art's better than yours and my art's awesome world come to me when it's always about the people as self-centered as people try to make Kanye seem he's always talking about the people what he wants to do for the people get out of the audience quick spectating at least be on the bench some of you guys are in the nose bleed section because you spend that much time worried about why someone else shouldn't be winning so if this might be you in any kind of way just be aware of it so you can focus on the right thing and as I promise I'm gonna end with a clip of Kanye saying something relevant to this conversation particularly the whole real music so please share this if you think other people would be interested and hit that subscribe button as an artist that's what I would want to drop something that mix syncopation and rhythm with melody and was innovative you know I'm saying so it's like but a lot of people what happens especially with a lot of the hip-hop artists that get into the box of like this was the real hip-hop at this time and blah blah blah and we trying to save it and then all they raps be about how they trying to save hip-hop and stuff instead of just making good songs and stuff because they just get caught into it's like that one it's like a 35 to like 45 category 35 year old or 45 that a lot of them getting to that thing like I can't stand it no more tribe was the last real one yeah I feel like you're talking about us and it's like soldier boy aw man I ain't hip and I was like hi soldier boy now hip-hop he making beats 808 type beats Rick Rubin style dances how many hip-hop that's what hip-hop was we brought all these dances stable you would never see nobody get up and dance like big daddy cane or something like that no people
