 It's the mat work. Okay bet a little bit of confused though. So one you said you want to come off as a diverse artist? Well, I guess like it's not like that's like my aim, but I feel like until I found find like a particular sound I think that there's like I think in some ways I do have a diverse diverse type aspect or maybe I'm looking at the word you know what I'm saying wrong as far as production because like I think basically I feel like I'm capable of doing some upbeat sound, but then I'm also capable of doing a slow you know what I'm saying more lyrical type music you know what I'm saying but then I also feel like I can every now and then have like a club type record which I'm not so concerned about that so I guess my question should be should it be to focus on that one side of it it just just as far as um production and like lyrical content should it just be that one focus and then later on maybe introducing different sounds? Um would you consider yourself probably on the Kendrick Lamar side of things right? Yeah, yeah. All right so let's look at Kendrick would you consider him a diverse artist just to get your idea of what diversity is? Yeah yeah I would feel like he's like a diverse artist. All right my opinion. All right and I agree I agree that he's diverse he's just not he's not what people are usually thinking when they're saying I want to be diverse all right but he's definitely he has the capability to do a lot of different things but he still stays within a Kendrick pocket all right he has a Kendrick point of view a Kendrick way of going about things and that part needs to be consistent all right this whole a lot of these sounds and these other things that people are associated with diversity are usually superficial and you need to figure out what's going to be more so that constant of or at least having that identity and your own voice that you're consistent with more than anything. I was just at an event last night and Love Renaissance one of the guys on that team who they've done a few artists and he was like one of the main thing they look for because somebody asked him what did he look for an artist he was like he's looking for a point of view and a voice those two things which I was like you know I've said this for a long time so it's that's going to be the thing that makes you matter and make people understand who you are so first get that part out the way like understand those two things are more important than this sonic diversity and production for diversity. Secondly the other thing is let's think about Kendrick Lamar section 80 you ever listen to section 80 yeah um not like heavy but I have done yeah all right so one thing about section 80 it's not like every single song is the exact same amount of BPMs or something like that but there's a consistent energy in that project right I mean and I think one thing that people have to really associate more than anything when we start to think about diversity the energy is more important than also some of that production and stuff what I mean by that is like once I'm getting to a certain if I'm the certain person who likes a certain type of mood certain type of feel a message then when I'm in that pocket I'm in that pocket and that energy wise it's the same pocket but maybe some of the sonics might be slightly different right the beat might not use the exact same you know placement on the drum pad or something like that but at the same time it's along the same lines in terms of energy and so if you could have an overall energy that you produce and that you bring which is probably going to also relate and come from your perspective at your point um and your voice then that'll be something more to aim for than thinking all of my beats need to sound the same or it has to sound like this cohesive project like the whole cohesion thing is more of a okay I'm working on an album would I have a specific message and concept that I want to express but when we're talking about just having your own pocket and identifiable sound outside of the point of view and the voice is really more so like what's that energy that I go to you to bring
