Enjoy hip hop man, stop tryna scrutinize everything and listen as some sort of critic. Enjoy that Cole, Keem, Rocky and Don Tolliver gave yall music at a high level and stop making everything about how can we tear people down. Our genre and culture will never progress that way.
Building art over a long period of time can be a slippery slope.
Sometimes it’s better to create in the moment and not have too much time to think about it. It’s like the median of careful execution and timing, but making it look effortless... because in the end, it shouldn’t take much to express yourself if it’s from the heart.
why didn't anyone tell me that producing your own music is either the most liberating thing ever or the most depressing experience you could put yourself through? no in between???
