NWA Tells Kendrick Lamar The Hardest Part About Being An Artist 5 goats 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐 A lot of y’all complained on a previous video I did because you said I was shaming artists and their songwriting. ⁣ ⁣ I don’t give a shit how you write songs. ⁣ ⁣ It’s your art, do what you want. ⁣ ⁣ But when you hit me up talking about:⁣ ⁣ “How do I get more streams?”⁣ ⁣ “Why isn’t my social media growing?”⁣ ⁣ “How can I do my music full-time?”⁣ ⁣ I’m going to give you the advice that I know works to accomplish these things. ⁣ ⁣ Because I’ve done it before and/or I’m doing it right now. ⁣ ⁣ If you don’t want to make a living from your music, don’t listen. ⁣ ⁣ Keep doing what you’re doing with your 57 second intros. ⁣ ⁣ Use those 1988 cover arts. ⁣ ⁣ Keep handing out CDs in parking lots. ⁣ ⁣ If you want to make money from your music, you gotta understand the business. ⁣ ⁣ Which is what I teach here. ⁣ ⁣ There’s a very distinct line of demarcation between artistry and business. ⁣ ⁣ They co-exist, but they don’t mesh well on the surface. ⁣ ⁣ You have to find a commonality between the two that works for you. ⁣ ⁣ And that allows you to be free with your art. ⁣ ⁣ While building a business that also fulfills your creatively and consistently lines your pockets. ⁣ ⁣ I don’t know about your life, but money is extremely important in mine. ⁣ ⁣ Without money, none of this exists. ⁣ ⁣ And I wouldn’t be impacting you on a daily basis. ⁣ ⁣ Everything we talk about here is going to come back to making you more money somehow. ⁣ ⁣ If you want to grow musically and financially, keep watching. ⁣ ⁣ If not, leave. ⁣ ⁣ Stop complaining while the rest of us are trying to learn. ⁣ ⁣ Shoutout: @kendricklamar @icecube @drdre @realmcren @djyellaofnwa⁣ ⁣ Are you learning more about the music business? ⁣ ⁣ From whom?⁣ Click the link and buy my “How To Market Your Music On Social Media” Course: www.group82university.com Do you want to make $5000/month from YouTube?
