Don't Just Rap, Entertain

Beyond the Mic: Transitioning from Rapper to Entertainer
On the Not Just Music Podcast, hosts discuss why simply being a great rapper is only the first step toward a sustainable career. This episode explores the vital importance of moving beyond lyrics to become a true entertainer who can command a platform and build a lasting legacy.
Many emerging artists fall into the trap of imitating popular trends instead of carving out their own unique musical territory. By focusing on originality and intentionality, creators can develop a "sonic fingerprint" that resonates across all platforms, from the recording studio to the live stage. The team highlights that finding your unique voice is the pinnacle of success in an industry where technical polish often overshadows distinctiveness.
Turning Influence into Innovation
Achieving longevity requires a balance between mastering the creative craft and proactively learning the business side of the industry. We emphasize that successful artists are those who show staying power by connecting their cause with culture and growing their influence far beyond a small circle.
By combining artistic passion with smart business sense—such as understanding royalties and professional decision-making—artists can move from merely being heard to truly being remembered. Not Just Music Podcast provides the guidance needed for creators to turn their art into a professional platform that stands the test of time.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.439
What's going on people? Not just music podcast
00:00:02.439 --> 00:00:05.280
in the building again. Hopefully everybody is
00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:09.800
good. Gonna get right to this. This will be a
00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:13.500
quick learning situation today. Nothing fancy
00:00:13.500 --> 00:00:21.719
or out the ordinary. We'll be talking about the
00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:28.920
situation of addressing the rap. I'm guessing
00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:31.320
this is a question. I'm guessing the whole situation
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:34.600
is basically a rapper. What's the situation with
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:37.420
being a rapper? I'm guessing and addressing the
00:00:37.420 --> 00:00:40.039
question that I was saying to something that
00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:43.880
I said about rapper or entertainment situation.
00:00:43.979 --> 00:00:45.560
I'm gonna explain. I think I know what he's talking
00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:49.299
about now. How's everything, bro? How's everything
00:00:49.299 --> 00:00:51.979
this weekend? Oh man, everything's great, man.
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:55.939
Everything's great. How's life, man? How's everything?
00:00:56.579 --> 00:00:59.020
Family? Everything's good. That's what's up.
00:00:59.920 --> 00:01:00.939
Entertainment. Hope the people are good out there
00:01:00.939 --> 00:01:04.780
too. Hope the world is good. Everybody's prospering.
00:01:04.980 --> 00:01:07.379
Wanna throw that in there. Thank y 'all for tuning
00:01:07.379 --> 00:01:10.439
in again. Let's get it, bro. What's up, what's
00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:18.159
up? Entertainment. Entertainment has been a well
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:23.519
-known thing for a very long time since entertainment
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:30.769
became entertainment. Now, I've spoken many times
00:01:30.769 --> 00:01:37.349
on rappers, singers, people who are in the music
00:01:37.349 --> 00:01:39.590
field, especially to those that are in front
00:01:39.590 --> 00:01:46.030
of people. One of the things that, I know the
00:01:46.030 --> 00:01:51.629
question is, how do you efficiently get yourself
00:01:51.629 --> 00:01:56.810
in front of people or more so, How is it that
00:01:56.810 --> 00:02:03.310
you can get showmanship? These are things that
00:02:03.310 --> 00:02:11.590
really kill what we consider the music rapper
00:02:11.590 --> 00:02:17.009
these days. One point, there used to be a phase
00:02:17.009 --> 00:02:21.349
where rap was actually considered entertainment.
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:28.479
Now it slid into a whole political field that
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:32.639
can't really be erased currently. It's sad that
00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:41.840
it's that way, but being young is a lot of the
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:45.139
ones who watch this, it's a lot of things, I
00:02:45.139 --> 00:02:49.379
say young, but early entertainment phase, age.
00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:53.729
Y 'all getting into a phase. is where entertainment
00:02:53.729 --> 00:02:58.509
plays a very big part in what you do. I mean,
00:02:58.569 --> 00:03:01.650
considerably, that's why it's content creation.
00:03:02.629 --> 00:03:07.030
You're creating content to be entertaining. Now,
00:03:07.050 --> 00:03:12.610
my question is, how many of you actually sit
00:03:12.610 --> 00:03:17.169
down and plan something that would be entertaining?
00:03:17.810 --> 00:03:22.319
I mean, some may sit in Just right, you know
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:25.840
you write your raps right you know have you do
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:31.280
but Do you consider it yourself? entertaining
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:38.479
in the sense of what it is um Cue your rapper
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:44.560
mass question What's the political stance you
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:49.520
take with rap these days. What is it that you
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:56.879
look into? Because some may look at it as as
00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:02.219
you have to be this or there's a fine line that
00:04:02.219 --> 00:04:04.800
you have to walk. This is what makes you a rapper.
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:07.439
If you don't walk this fine line, you're not
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:13.800
a rapper. Yeah. What's your take on this? My
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:19.879
take, man, the the music. industry, just the
00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:23.939
music business has changed, bruh. I can remember
00:04:23.939 --> 00:04:33.860
from 2019 to 2024, like music has really, hip
00:04:33.860 --> 00:04:36.540
hop has became more about beefing. It's been
00:04:36.540 --> 00:04:42.240
more about controversy over the art, over the
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:48.360
craft, over the music. We judge a lot as people.
00:04:48.779 --> 00:04:52.360
I feel like we will always say something about
00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:55.860
the music, like how bad this is or bad that is.
00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:59.600
And this is going to the people that really don't
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:03.240
tune into the music to give it a fair listen
00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:06.839
or for the music. They just there for the controversy.
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:09.819
This is towards them. A lot of people just feed
00:05:09.819 --> 00:05:12.759
off controversy. They're not even like caring
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:15.939
about the art or the music no more. Which, in
00:05:15.939 --> 00:05:18.500
reality, I feel like the artists that may be
00:05:18.500 --> 00:05:21.939
serious about it, that really have meaning behind
00:05:21.939 --> 00:05:25.259
their lyrics and their substance and all that,
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:29.240
they stop releasing music like that. Because
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:32.779
it's like, all this stuff just seemed play play
00:05:32.779 --> 00:05:35.259
now. It's like, you got to be in some controversy,
00:05:35.500 --> 00:05:41.110
beefing with somebody to get a notice or... on
00:05:41.110 --> 00:05:44.050
the radar just to listen to somebody or a co
00:05:44.050 --> 00:05:47.230
-sign from a big artist and this and that. So
00:05:47.230 --> 00:05:50.310
unless you have a buzz, you're not going to pop.
00:05:50.529 --> 00:05:54.230
Like we push artists, like it's an open lane,
00:05:54.230 --> 00:05:57.449
it's an open lane. Like it is somewhat of an
00:05:57.449 --> 00:06:00.850
open lane, but that open lane to me is to artists
00:06:00.850 --> 00:06:04.129
that's already pretty much established in some
00:06:04.129 --> 00:06:08.550
kind of way. The way music is right now, if you're
00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:12.480
unknown it's hard to get on steel to this day
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:15.620
like and that's why like you started out you
00:06:15.620 --> 00:06:19.199
have to have a strategic plan like if you're
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:21.319
an up -and -coming artists like if you not a
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:23.779
Drake or the baby like you could be a rapper
00:06:23.779 --> 00:06:26.600
that was big that fell off those are the ones
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:30.240
I think the open lanes are for because like but
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:33.660
you have to you got a name yeah yeah you're okay
00:06:33.660 --> 00:06:37.439
you know I'm saying but For a sound cloud or
00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:39.519
an up -and -coming artists just coming up it's
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:42.519
gonna be difficult and you got to have a strategic
00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:45.800
plan or you got to have some you might have to
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:48.959
come in like 50 came in how to Rob and this everybody
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:51.379
in the industry like you got to be that controversial
00:06:51.379 --> 00:06:55.660
to actually get a Listen, you know I'm saying
00:06:55.660 --> 00:06:58.560
from people because people feed off controversy
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:04.680
you know, so that's my mindset of the The music
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:07.139
and why as an artist not like you don't hear
00:07:07.139 --> 00:07:10.139
me drop two three years. You know I'm saying
00:07:10.139 --> 00:07:14.279
because it's like It's money that goes into this
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:17.439
and if I'm if you're gonna put money into this
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:19.939
I don't care what no artists say no producers
00:07:19.939 --> 00:07:23.759
say you want to see results in some way Like
00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:26.439
I don't think anybody just goes to the studio
00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:28.839
do a whole lot of songs and don't care if nobody
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:32.040
listens to it we have to we have to really be
00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:35.699
real about it like We care. Artists would be
00:07:35.699 --> 00:07:37.579
like, oh, I don't care about numbers. They care.
00:07:37.959 --> 00:07:40.740
They care about numbers. They care about that
00:07:40.740 --> 00:07:42.860
stuff that they're saying. Don't get fooled.
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:46.379
So I think that changes the mindset of a lot
00:07:46.379 --> 00:07:49.139
of artists that probably were serious or kind
00:07:49.139 --> 00:07:54.639
of serious. And to not really being hesitant,
00:07:55.019 --> 00:07:57.519
like that urgency, like we talked on previously,
00:07:58.139 --> 00:08:01.079
that urgency leaves a little bit. You know what
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:03.649
I'm saying? And it's like, Okay, I'm gonna throw
00:08:03.649 --> 00:08:05.910
a single out here to test the waters. If this
00:08:05.910 --> 00:08:08.689
don't blow, you know, maybe I'll lay back two,
00:08:08.769 --> 00:08:10.509
three years. That's the mindset I think a lot
00:08:10.509 --> 00:08:13.389
of independent artists have. Because it's like,
00:08:13.550 --> 00:08:16.569
it's too much risk and it's too much you have
00:08:16.569 --> 00:08:20.189
to do to even create. You know what I'm saying?
00:08:20.470 --> 00:08:23.069
Especially independency, you add on to that.
00:08:24.250 --> 00:08:27.490
Is the risk worth it? A lot of independent artists
00:08:27.490 --> 00:08:29.730
are talking to themselves and asking themselves
00:08:29.730 --> 00:08:40.610
now. I feel. How you get to... This is my thing.
00:08:40.690 --> 00:08:44.429
I've sat in some meetings lately, which is why
00:08:44.429 --> 00:08:52.389
I brought this up. And some people can take that
00:08:52.389 --> 00:08:55.950
political stance on it as you just did. Like
00:08:55.950 --> 00:09:00.269
I said, you find yourself in a place where you're
00:09:00.269 --> 00:09:06.320
trying to navigate between risk and Results.
00:09:07.700 --> 00:09:14.000
Well, this is the part of it though. That's it.
00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:19.039
You take a risk every single day going from point
00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:22.759
A to point B. Whether you're going to work, whether
00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:25.860
you're going out to go eat somewhere, whether
00:09:25.860 --> 00:09:29.919
you're going, it's a risk factor involved somewhere
00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:36.139
in there. And more so, This can I add this in
00:09:36.139 --> 00:09:39.519
it depends on how risky are big the risk is also
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:43.440
like how? Costly can this risk be like how would
00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:46.299
this affect if it don't go the right way? Do
00:09:46.299 --> 00:09:50.919
you can't like? Go from work to here point a
00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:53.620
to point B. That's Realistically, you know, you
00:09:53.620 --> 00:09:59.379
have to do that. But that is I'm just giving
00:09:59.379 --> 00:10:02.019
example. I'm gonna say my last my rent money
00:10:02.019 --> 00:10:06.009
on this song For example, and hoping that it
00:10:06.009 --> 00:10:08.789
blows or I compensate at least what I spent on
00:10:08.789 --> 00:10:13.370
this back or more. Yeah, like that's a risk.
00:10:13.429 --> 00:10:17.110
You know what I'm saying? If you feel that way,
00:10:17.129 --> 00:10:19.990
you would never get to point B though. If you
00:10:19.990 --> 00:10:22.029
just go stick with point A the whole time, you
00:10:22.029 --> 00:10:23.970
never get to point B just thinking like, okay,
00:10:23.970 --> 00:10:25.450
I'm going to just sit right here between point
00:10:25.450 --> 00:10:28.750
A and point B. How will you know that is great
00:10:28.750 --> 00:10:31.070
if you just never take a chance at something?
00:10:31.230 --> 00:10:33.169
How will we know if these podcasts are going
00:10:33.169 --> 00:10:34.970
to make moves if we never put them out? They
00:10:34.970 --> 00:10:37.350
just sit on a heart. OK, OK. But what if you
00:10:37.350 --> 00:10:39.409
have made? OK, it's another question. Well, what
00:10:39.409 --> 00:10:42.629
if you are artists and you have done things and
00:10:42.629 --> 00:10:45.590
you have tested the water? I know me. I can speak
00:10:45.590 --> 00:10:48.889
on this like I've done and at least attempted
00:10:48.889 --> 00:10:53.990
everything that. Like I say, if I speak on it,
00:10:53.990 --> 00:10:57.110
I have attempted it. I spent money on DJs. I
00:10:57.110 --> 00:11:00.139
spent a hell of money promote and promote. Like
00:11:00.139 --> 00:11:03.240
my early stages of my career, you know, I spent,
00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:06.799
you know, money on movie, my own movie. I spent
00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:08.960
like, you know what I'm saying? So I understand
00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:13.759
the risk and the sacrifice, but also during those
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:18.340
things you learn, like, okay, what is worth it?
00:11:18.340 --> 00:11:21.679
What's not? Or what the urgency like, should
00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:24.179
I hold off on it right now? Should I go hard
00:11:24.179 --> 00:11:26.480
on it right now? Because if you keep feeding
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:29.019
into something that's not selling, Like, are
00:11:29.019 --> 00:11:31.419
you gonna keep investing into that? If it's not
00:11:31.419 --> 00:11:34.240
selling and you keep investing, investing into
00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:36.720
something like, don't it, ain't it a sign like
00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:38.940
maybe this might not be, maybe it's something
00:11:38.940 --> 00:11:42.059
else you need to try right now. Not saying this
00:11:42.059 --> 00:11:45.080
is not it, but maybe it's something else you
00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:47.620
need to do to stay relevant or something else
00:11:47.620 --> 00:11:50.220
it might be. Cause I think a lot of people want
00:11:50.220 --> 00:11:52.759
to be music artists, but it might not be it.
00:11:53.700 --> 00:11:56.600
You go, we like, this is reality. What would
00:11:56.600 --> 00:11:59.070
you say about this? I'm gonna say this one more
00:11:59.070 --> 00:12:05.070
time. You're an entertainer. Nobody just wants
00:12:05.070 --> 00:12:09.090
to hear you rap. Nobody wants to just hear you
00:12:09.090 --> 00:12:11.549
rap. Nobody just wants to see you just sit up
00:12:11.549 --> 00:12:15.250
and just talk about music and songs and things
00:12:15.250 --> 00:12:18.610
of that nature. You have to be entertaining.
00:12:18.950 --> 00:12:22.149
If you're not doing anything to entertain anybody,
00:12:22.570 --> 00:12:26.669
how do you expect your risk to be taken serious?
00:12:26.889 --> 00:12:30.509
So I could put out three songs, four or five
00:12:30.509 --> 00:12:35.110
songs over the past 10 years. Yeah, it was a
00:12:35.110 --> 00:12:38.250
risk to say that I put the money into it. But
00:12:38.250 --> 00:12:41.049
to say that, did I really take it there? Did
00:12:41.049 --> 00:12:43.909
I really take all the risk that I could? And
00:12:43.909 --> 00:12:46.350
I mean, speaking of just the money risk, the
00:12:46.350 --> 00:12:49.070
money risk is just a piece of it. There's another
00:12:49.070 --> 00:12:51.590
piece of it is about how hard you're going forward,
00:12:51.750 --> 00:12:55.190
too. So that part doesn't cost you anything to
00:12:55.190 --> 00:12:58.690
go hard. What cost you money is to go live in
00:12:58.690 --> 00:13:02.049
a house, go buy food, you know, take care of
00:13:02.049 --> 00:13:05.850
your everyday, you know, livelihood. But to say
00:13:05.850 --> 00:13:09.649
that a song, a song is only for a short period
00:13:09.649 --> 00:13:14.889
of time and in the nature of yes. But how much
00:13:14.889 --> 00:13:17.549
of it did you put into the entertainment part
00:13:17.549 --> 00:13:20.049
of it versus just saying, I went to the studio,
00:13:20.649 --> 00:13:23.960
I wrote it. I recorded it, I put all my money
00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:26.240
into that part, and then that's it, that's all
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:30.159
I did. Then I just show it sparingly. Okay, I
00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:32.000
might show it over here on Instagram or Facebook,
00:13:32.460 --> 00:13:34.659
show it to somebody at the job, show it to somebody
00:13:34.659 --> 00:13:40.419
in my family. That's part of it. That's part
00:13:40.419 --> 00:13:44.480
of it. Now, the entertainment part of it. What
00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:47.600
are you doing for people to be entertained by
00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:53.669
it? Because like I said, it just can't be, I
00:13:53.669 --> 00:13:55.470
just can't like be a great singer. There are
00:13:55.470 --> 00:13:57.370
a lot of great singers that could just stand
00:13:57.370 --> 00:14:00.889
flat foot on the stage and just sing. But then
00:14:00.889 --> 00:14:03.389
you got people who want to go to an Usher concert,
00:14:03.470 --> 00:14:05.570
to a Chris Barron concert, because they're doing
00:14:05.570 --> 00:14:09.889
more than singing. They're entertaining. So there's
00:14:09.889 --> 00:14:13.490
two factors that people don't understand when
00:14:13.490 --> 00:14:15.470
it comes to that part. Like you see, yeah, we
00:14:15.470 --> 00:14:18.350
see rappers hit the stage. Rappers come out there,
00:14:18.409 --> 00:14:21.389
you know. The new age rapper, you know, they
00:14:21.389 --> 00:14:23.409
might just be by they said they might have 50
00:14:23.409 --> 00:14:25.830
people on stage with them and they just and they're
00:14:25.830 --> 00:14:28.929
just rapping But then it used to be, you know,
00:14:29.210 --> 00:14:32.809
sometimes some for a phase there you have rappers
00:14:32.809 --> 00:14:35.470
They got about three four strippers in the background
00:14:35.470 --> 00:14:40.690
No, they got they got booties keep coming. Oh,
00:14:40.690 --> 00:14:42.909
oh, oh, blah. Oh, he would be up on stage with
00:14:42.909 --> 00:14:47.090
over the same thing that it's a it's a thing
00:14:47.090 --> 00:14:52.159
that some people Say that okay. Well if the entourage
00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:54.679
situation ain't work Maybe if I put some females
00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:58.360
in or maybe if I put some you just got to keep
00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:03.460
trying to Make it entertaining keep people drawn
00:15:03.460 --> 00:15:05.620
in keep people coming back. What are they coming
00:15:05.620 --> 00:15:08.059
back for? What are they coming back to see what
00:15:08.059 --> 00:15:10.399
it what it what makes sense to them? Sometimes
00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:12.600
it's just really just the sake of the sake of
00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:15.019
just saying you're taking chances at creating
00:15:15.019 --> 00:15:17.340
stuff It doesn't even take any money to create
00:15:17.340 --> 00:15:19.779
stuff, especially with these things don't take
00:15:19.779 --> 00:15:23.000
no money to create you just Create it put it
00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:27.159
out that there's there's a day of trying like
00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:29.679
I heard, you know, everybody's considering, you
00:15:29.679 --> 00:15:32.960
know what Country Wayne is doing right now me
00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:36.019
doing a billion views in a month On Facebook.
00:15:36.340 --> 00:15:39.659
He said, now you got to pay me millions and millions
00:15:39.659 --> 00:15:43.700
for the case of his entertainment, but he wouldn't
00:15:43.700 --> 00:15:46.679
know if he wasn't posting three to four videos
00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:52.120
a day or 10 videos a day or however many choosing
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:54.779
videos he chooses to post in a day. Those are
00:15:54.779 --> 00:15:57.840
the factors of the other parts of the entertainment
00:15:57.840 --> 00:16:00.700
though. And this is important because you got
00:16:00.700 --> 00:16:03.700
artists like me that think like me and what you're
00:16:03.700 --> 00:16:07.700
giving me. You're saying you can do all this
00:16:07.700 --> 00:16:11.100
free. Yeah, I don't even cost a lot. It's not
00:16:11.100 --> 00:16:14.120
costly like you you given other routes and but
00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:16.879
you have an artist like me that's probably like
00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:19.899
Fed up, you know I'm saying like, okay, like
00:16:19.899 --> 00:16:22.700
I'm not seeing like I'm seeing results, but I'm
00:16:22.700 --> 00:16:25.080
not seeing the results I'm wanting to see and
00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:27.720
I'm not trying to get over here and say like
00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:30.840
my music I don't get straight like no I get streams
00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:33.730
like, you know, I'm saying But it's always as
00:16:33.730 --> 00:16:36.129
an artist you think, you always evaluate yourself
00:16:36.129 --> 00:16:41.710
year to year and like what has grown? Like what
00:16:41.710 --> 00:16:44.649
is growing, what's not growing? Is it a stand
00:16:44.649 --> 00:16:46.950
still? And that's when you start thinking in
00:16:46.950 --> 00:16:48.769
your head, what do I need to do differently?
00:16:49.029 --> 00:16:50.570
Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, before
00:16:50.570 --> 00:16:54.990
I put more out, let me make sure I have the right
00:16:54.990 --> 00:16:58.850
tools or the strategy behind this. You know what
00:16:58.850 --> 00:17:01.659
I'm saying? and not just putting song after song
00:17:01.659 --> 00:17:03.080
out. Cause like you said, you could be missing
00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:07.000
some parts, like you just said, some simple parts.
00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:10.400
Like on the promoting part. Entertainment is
00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:16.740
again, that's the next big thing that a lot of,
00:17:16.740 --> 00:17:19.240
it's not even just companies, people, the people,
00:17:19.339 --> 00:17:23.079
the consumer, they wanna be entertained. And
00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:25.140
it used to be a thing that you could only find
00:17:25.140 --> 00:17:28.460
entertainment on TV, now it's everywhere, literally.
00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:33.400
And you have to fill in those gaps where the
00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:36.279
entertainment is lacking. You know, that's really
00:17:36.279 --> 00:17:38.859
the biggest thing when it comes to being the
00:17:38.859 --> 00:17:41.579
music artist these days. You got to fill in a
00:17:41.579 --> 00:17:44.259
gap that's missing. And if you can't fill in
00:17:44.259 --> 00:17:46.980
that missing gap, that's really what it is more
00:17:46.980 --> 00:17:51.279
so versus then feeling like, you know, like it's
00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:53.099
a thing of saying, OK, well, how do I find my
00:17:53.099 --> 00:17:57.119
way into it? Or what can I do? What can I do
00:17:57.119 --> 00:18:00.799
to Push the brand further farther than what it
00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:04.400
is and make it looks, you know, look bigger Fine
00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:07.539
-tune like you can just gotta you have to really
00:18:07.539 --> 00:18:11.039
saturate people with things You know, that's
00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:13.059
why that's the whole situation with not just
00:18:13.059 --> 00:18:15.460
music podcast That's why I'm just I'm making
00:18:15.460 --> 00:18:18.599
more branches make it branch out more right it
00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:21.579
could get in front of people I mean way quicker.
00:18:21.579 --> 00:18:25.000
The only way I can do it though is I have to
00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:27.140
create the content though if the content ain't
00:18:27.140 --> 00:18:30.190
being created I won't ever know. It doesn't cost
00:18:30.190 --> 00:18:34.069
me to create the content. It cost me due to,
00:18:34.269 --> 00:18:36.369
yeah, you had to buy the equipment and everything
00:18:36.369 --> 00:18:39.930
to get it, but if I have the equipment, now I
00:18:39.930 --> 00:18:42.750
need to step on the gas. If I have the platform,
00:18:42.990 --> 00:18:44.990
now I need to step on the gas. Like, what am
00:18:44.990 --> 00:18:47.890
I doing to, okay, I'm taking advantage of the
00:18:47.890 --> 00:18:49.430
website. I'm taking advantage of the podcast
00:18:49.430 --> 00:18:51.910
platform. I'm taking advantage of the video platforms.
00:18:52.009 --> 00:18:54.250
I'm taking advantage of all those platforms that
00:18:54.250 --> 00:18:57.269
can help the website grow and get bigger. That's
00:18:57.269 --> 00:18:58.950
the only way I'm going to be able to do it. But
00:18:58.950 --> 00:19:01.849
how do I do it? Taking the risk every single
00:19:01.849 --> 00:19:05.009
day, every single day, something to do on it
00:19:05.009 --> 00:19:08.049
every single day. There is a platform that is
00:19:08.049 --> 00:19:10.670
waiting on you to put something on it. If you
00:19:10.670 --> 00:19:12.670
don't put anything on it, though, people won't
00:19:12.670 --> 00:19:14.930
know that you're really trying. So if they feel
00:19:14.930 --> 00:19:17.589
like, OK, well, he just he has music out or she
00:19:17.589 --> 00:19:21.069
has music out. We hear it. Where is she? What
00:19:21.069 --> 00:19:24.170
is she doing? You know, what what makes her special?
00:19:24.269 --> 00:19:26.609
You know that. The thing is that they call it
00:19:26.609 --> 00:19:30.029
the uh, the ghost writer like ghost writers have
00:19:30.029 --> 00:19:33.230
almost that phase is almost in Because these
00:19:33.230 --> 00:19:36.069
dudes aren't seeing any type of results from
00:19:36.069 --> 00:19:38.670
just being closed in now They actually coming
00:19:38.670 --> 00:19:42.450
out and they're the The the entertainment now
00:19:42.450 --> 00:19:44.789
because they're getting in the being the the
00:19:44.789 --> 00:19:48.230
stage personnel like I'm gonna Duran Brent burner
00:19:48.230 --> 00:19:51.450
Duran Bernard people talk about him all the time,
00:19:51.490 --> 00:19:56.400
you know his how he is That dude is locked in.
00:19:56.440 --> 00:19:59.220
I mean, he won a Grammy because he kept locking
00:19:59.220 --> 00:20:03.039
in and just working. He just sings background
00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:06.220
singing. He's a background singer. But from him
00:20:06.220 --> 00:20:09.900
taking that stance on the songwriter side of
00:20:09.900 --> 00:20:12.119
things and putting the songs out itself, instead
00:20:12.119 --> 00:20:15.039
of just trying to get an artist to get your song,
00:20:15.099 --> 00:20:18.299
put it out yourself. And at the same time, he
00:20:18.299 --> 00:20:21.579
was being entertaining. What's going on? It's

He just entered something like this too. And
00:21:29.230 --> 00:21:31.769
this is like, I believe in what you said. Some
00:21:31.769 --> 00:21:35.930
people need labels, you know, like that structure.
00:21:36.470 --> 00:21:39.710
Because like you say, it's a lot that artists
00:21:39.710 --> 00:21:41.650
might have on their mind. They want to do, but
00:21:41.650 --> 00:21:45.109
just don't know the right direction or how to
00:21:45.109 --> 00:21:48.630
do it, what to turn it at this time. And I feel
00:21:48.630 --> 00:21:54.440
like having a team. That's what helps our artists.
00:21:55.519 --> 00:21:59.359
It takes more than you, I put this together,
00:21:59.880 --> 00:22:02.079
it takes more than you just having a producer.
00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:05.619
You need to have somebody that's specialized
00:22:05.619 --> 00:22:09.839
in, if you're a dancer, you need to have dancers.
00:22:11.380 --> 00:22:13.400
If you're a musician, you're a live band, you
00:22:13.400 --> 00:22:18.059
need to have a band. You need to have A &Rs.
00:22:18.180 --> 00:22:21.720
You need to have... people, what's the names
00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:24.720
on the book shows and call around and trying
00:22:24.720 --> 00:22:26.960
to connect you to this and that you need people
00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:30.980
like this. So I've learned that I might not have
00:22:30.980 --> 00:22:33.339
a full team. And that's probably what a lot of
00:22:33.339 --> 00:22:37.500
artists are missing. And that's, you know, that's
00:22:37.500 --> 00:22:40.460
that's just something like, you know, you got
00:22:40.460 --> 00:22:42.660
to work towards, you got to work towards it.
00:22:42.660 --> 00:22:45.279
And I know it's a lot of artists out there probably
00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:47.859
thinking they can do it by themselves. Because
00:22:47.859 --> 00:22:50.720
I was once that artist that thought like that.
00:22:51.119 --> 00:22:54.079
Now, as I'm getting older, I'm realizing, like,
00:22:54.079 --> 00:22:57.359
maybe it's some steps that I did miss, like,
00:22:57.359 --> 00:23:00.440
coming up, you know what I'm saying? But I'm
00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:03.700
grateful to still do what I have and have what
00:23:03.700 --> 00:23:07.900
I have. But I'm like, it was parts of that, you
00:23:07.900 --> 00:23:09.839
know, of the system I could have did better,
00:23:09.900 --> 00:23:12.240
I could have had, you know what I'm saying, that
00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:16.460
I didn't have. So if you young and you can change
00:23:16.460 --> 00:23:19.579
it. get you a team that's all across the board
00:23:19.579 --> 00:23:21.400
that can help you with your career, you know
00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:23.319
what I'm saying, and your journey. That's another
00:23:23.319 --> 00:23:25.019
thing I would say, you know what I'm saying?
00:23:26.180 --> 00:23:31.759
Because it's a lot to it. That's why pointing
00:23:31.759 --> 00:23:35.059
those points out like that, even when we talked
00:23:35.059 --> 00:23:39.359
about that a few shows back, it's just that you
00:23:39.359 --> 00:23:43.579
have to make adjustments as you're going. That's
00:23:43.579 --> 00:23:46.240
just part of it. I mean, you don't learn. Once
00:23:46.240 --> 00:23:50.680
you learn it, apply it. And once you apply it,
00:23:50.680 --> 00:23:53.359
drive it in. Drive like you get a nail, you know,
00:23:53.660 --> 00:23:56.680
you get a nail, you're beating on this nail and
00:23:56.680 --> 00:23:59.779
you get that nail halfway in. It's not flush.
00:24:00.019 --> 00:24:03.240
It's just you got a chance to drive it all the
00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:06.160
way. If you just put your mentality, you know,
00:24:06.160 --> 00:24:09.019
put your mentality, you know, make it a thing
00:24:09.019 --> 00:24:12.220
of you want this to be like, I want this to happen.
00:24:12.240 --> 00:24:17.640
I want this to be the the factor of, this makes
00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:21.220
this great, from just saying that, okay, my name
00:24:21.220 --> 00:24:23.240
is on it, but at the same time my name is on
00:24:23.240 --> 00:24:25.859
it, y 'all see me. Y 'all see me growing with
00:24:25.859 --> 00:24:27.880
it. Y 'all see me doing other things with it,
00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:30.119
which takes time to learn it though. It's not
00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:33.059
gonna just drop in your lap. Again, as he was
00:24:33.059 --> 00:24:35.700
just saying, he learned. He learned from things
00:24:35.700 --> 00:24:39.779
that he was doing, the structure that he had
00:24:39.779 --> 00:24:43.180
in the beginning. it didn't work as he planned.
00:24:43.259 --> 00:24:45.599
So he's figuring other things to work. That's
00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:48.779
the exact thing that you're supposed to do. That's
00:24:48.779 --> 00:24:49.880
how you do it. And can I add something else too?
00:24:50.079 --> 00:24:53.440
It's never too late either. Never too late. It's
00:24:53.440 --> 00:24:55.380
never too late to make changes. It's never too
00:24:55.380 --> 00:24:57.900
late to adjust. Like as you saying, these changes,
00:24:58.740 --> 00:25:01.660
it's never too late. Like you can start today.
00:25:01.660 --> 00:25:03.819
Yeah. Know what I'm saying? Like you can always
00:25:03.819 --> 00:25:08.240
start. You be in your 40s. I feel like every
00:25:08.240 --> 00:25:11.039
day is a new day for a new chance. You know what
00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:12.940
I'm saying? Or what you didn't accomplish, or
00:25:12.940 --> 00:25:15.799
what you have in, what you missed out on. You
00:25:15.799 --> 00:25:18.380
can correct it. And that's the journey and blessing
00:25:18.380 --> 00:25:21.259
of waking up to see another day. You know what
00:25:21.259 --> 00:25:23.500
I'm saying? You can correct it. And you can get
00:25:23.500 --> 00:25:25.779
those steps that you might have missed. So. Good.
00:25:25.880 --> 00:25:27.700
Take care. Take care. And I'm talking to myself
00:25:27.700 --> 00:25:29.599
too right now. You know what I'm saying? I ain't
00:25:29.599 --> 00:25:33.019
behind. I feel like I'm right there. Just a couple,
00:25:33.140 --> 00:25:36.950
just a little bit tweets. You know? And boom,
00:25:37.410 --> 00:25:42.329
that's how it is. And the way you talking about
00:25:42.329 --> 00:25:45.369
artistry is how you got to put all this together,
00:25:45.369 --> 00:25:48.069
basically. You got to make adjustments as you
00:25:48.069 --> 00:25:53.089
go with life, period. Life, music, just to balance
00:25:53.089 --> 00:25:56.150
this all out, you have to make adjustments. You
00:25:56.150 --> 00:25:57.730
know what I'm saying? You got to know how to
00:25:57.730 --> 00:26:01.069
balance everything. And you got to know priorities.
00:26:01.190 --> 00:26:04.609
You got to know when to put things on, when to
00:26:04.609 --> 00:26:08.500
put things off. And always remember, like, not
00:26:08.500 --> 00:26:11.920
right now doesn't mean never. Like, it just means
00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:14.720
not right now. You know what I'm saying? And
00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:17.920
a no is not a guaranteed no all the time. You're
00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:21.099
going to get some yeses. So that's how you got
00:26:21.099 --> 00:26:25.500
to, you know, approach this art and, you know,
00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:31.980
life. So again, to answer that question in a
00:26:31.980 --> 00:26:36.980
shorthand term. It wasn't yours. This was me
00:26:36.980 --> 00:26:39.700
just answering, doubling back to what I initially
00:26:39.700 --> 00:26:41.700
started with because I need to start doing it.
00:26:41.700 --> 00:26:44.240
Doubling back on answering it. Just remember
00:26:44.240 --> 00:26:49.759
you're allowed to be entertaining. Don't just
00:26:49.759 --> 00:26:53.539
be a rapper. You are allowed to be entertaining.
00:26:53.680 --> 00:26:56.220
How will somebody know if you could be in a movie
00:26:56.220 --> 00:26:58.880
if you're not being entertaining? How will somebody
00:26:58.880 --> 00:27:01.779
know that you're not any other things if you're
00:27:01.779 --> 00:27:05.069
not ever showing it? Only on Twitch, people.
00:27:05.529 --> 00:27:08.869
I'm entertaining. Don't always get your hands
00:27:08.869 --> 00:27:12.569
tied into something that you can't maintain.
00:27:13.250 --> 00:27:16.170
If you can't maintain it, let's just say that
00:27:16.170 --> 00:27:18.589
you can't maintain it. But if you do have an
00:27:18.589 --> 00:27:24.750
idea of where to go with it, how to do it, if
00:27:24.750 --> 00:27:28.630
you feel that you have the charismatic things
00:27:28.630 --> 00:27:31.450
that it takes to be that, I mean, some people
00:27:31.450 --> 00:27:33.369
ask about the podcast. Podcasting isn't really
00:27:33.369 --> 00:27:35.349
about being entertaining. It's really more so
00:27:35.349 --> 00:27:39.529
about finding a niche, a niche that you're in
00:27:39.529 --> 00:27:42.789
and taking control and just showing people that
00:27:42.789 --> 00:27:46.730
you understand it. But being a rapper or a singer,
00:27:46.950 --> 00:27:49.369
something to that nature, that's a little different.
00:27:49.450 --> 00:27:55.490
You have to be engaging at all times and also
00:27:55.490 --> 00:27:58.029
understanding that that is going to be something
00:27:58.029 --> 00:28:00.559
that people are going to look for from you. Engagement
00:28:00.559 --> 00:28:03.700
if you don't have any engagement You just basically
00:28:03.700 --> 00:28:06.440
just it'll people won't never come back to you
00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:08.180
won't have nothing to come back to let me say
00:28:08.180 --> 00:28:10.779
that So if you have something to come back to
00:28:10.779 --> 00:28:13.559
that's going to make it even better for you and
00:28:13.559 --> 00:28:17.460
your brain So just get used to the creation part
00:28:17.460 --> 00:28:20.380
get used to creating even if it's on a scale
00:28:20.380 --> 00:28:23.200
to something that's really beginner But get used
00:28:23.200 --> 00:28:25.000
to it the more you do it the better you gonna
00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:28.720
get with it now Thank you. Hey, thank you, bro.
00:28:28.819 --> 00:28:32.559
Thank you for that word, man. Hey, this is great.
00:28:32.759 --> 00:28:35.759
Because like I said, I wasn't I wouldn't even
00:28:35.759 --> 00:28:38.900
look at what you just said. I wouldn't even thought
00:28:38.900 --> 00:28:41.940
of it like I'm thinking money, money, money,
00:28:42.039 --> 00:28:45.299
money, like the investment investment. I'm thinking
00:28:45.299 --> 00:28:49.079
that and I'm not even thinking about the stuff
00:28:49.079 --> 00:28:52.200
that you can do just off this. You know, I'm
00:28:52.200 --> 00:28:56.400
saying the phone. just the resources within what
00:28:56.400 --> 00:28:58.240
you have reachable, you know what I'm saying?
00:28:58.660 --> 00:29:02.160
So this is crucial to our artists, man. You know
00:29:02.160 --> 00:29:04.839
what I'm saying? Because you get to see both
00:29:04.839 --> 00:29:09.500
sides. And I think it's a lot of discouraged
00:29:09.500 --> 00:29:12.460
artists right now. This is a kind of discouraging
00:29:12.460 --> 00:29:16.519
time. You know what I'm saying? I know. I'm an
00:29:16.519 --> 00:29:21.519
artist. I know. It's a self -evaluating time.
00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:24.859
everybody's just trying to figure out, you know
00:29:24.859 --> 00:29:26.619
what I'm saying? Like everybody's trying to figure
00:29:26.619 --> 00:29:30.039
out, even the goats, the tops, like they're trying
00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:31.920
to figure it out. You know what I'm saying? Cause
00:29:31.920 --> 00:29:33.859
attention spans are different. That's another
00:29:33.859 --> 00:29:36.480
thing too. People attention spans are different
00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:38.700
and what people are checking for is different
00:29:38.700 --> 00:29:41.920
now. You know what I'm saying? So we can't control
00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:44.279
that part. As an artist, you got to control what
00:29:44.279 --> 00:29:46.839
you can control, but we can't control the minds
00:29:46.839 --> 00:29:49.220
of the consumers. That's one thing I'm learning
00:29:49.220 --> 00:29:52.329
too, but. That's why you really just, in a way,
00:29:52.970 --> 00:29:55.210
we had to redirect our mind and just do it because
00:29:55.210 --> 00:29:57.549
we love it. And that's what I'm trying to get
00:29:57.549 --> 00:30:00.569
to and stop trying to do it for approval and
00:30:00.569 --> 00:30:03.309
people just, you know, everybody's not going
00:30:03.309 --> 00:30:07.450
to catch what you throwing at them, you know,
00:30:07.450 --> 00:30:10.170
and that's life. Like everybody's not going to
00:30:10.170 --> 00:30:12.849
want to listen to what you giving, what you saying.
00:30:13.329 --> 00:30:17.869
So you got to dig deep, deep, deep, deep down
00:30:17.869 --> 00:30:21.369
into yourself and believe in yourself. And you
00:30:21.369 --> 00:30:23.329
know I'm saying and keep going even when you
00:30:23.329 --> 00:30:27.490
don't see Nobody supporting and that's what I'm
00:30:27.490 --> 00:30:30.309
gonna keep doing like I stay on twitch. It might
00:30:30.309 --> 00:30:33.130
be zero one I got one person watching right now
00:30:33.130 --> 00:30:35.849
was zero. I guess what I kept staying on here.
00:30:35.849 --> 00:30:39.789
I got one person So that's how you got to treat
00:30:39.789 --> 00:30:43.970
anything. Just keep going The results will come
00:30:43.970 --> 00:30:48.599
just gotta keep being consistent As you always
00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:52.240
say, and this is messy to me, man. This is the
00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:56.359
me too. Take advantage of it. I'm not getting
00:30:56.359 --> 00:31:01.299
more consistent. Take advantage of these. Again,
00:31:01.400 --> 00:31:05.900
it's too many apps out here to help you be creative
00:31:05.900 --> 00:31:09.319
in the palm of your hand. Take advantage of them.
00:31:09.400 --> 00:31:13.079
Once you're done creating it, post it. Simple
00:31:13.079 --> 00:31:17.230
as that. Post it. In a story, not on something
00:31:17.230 --> 00:31:22.170
that's going to disappear. Post it. Post it.
00:31:22.369 --> 00:31:25.750
It has to be a post. If you're looking for something
00:31:25.750 --> 00:31:29.329
to disappear, that means all your possibilities
00:31:29.329 --> 00:31:31.430
are going to disappear because you're not making
00:31:31.430 --> 00:31:33.750
something solid. It's got to be something that's
00:31:33.750 --> 00:31:37.130
solid to be there for somebody to be like, OK,
00:31:37.230 --> 00:31:40.119
I can go down through this. There's something
00:31:40.119 --> 00:31:43.539
here that I can believe in this. Okay, there's
00:31:43.539 --> 00:31:46.640
more than okay. There's oh This is okay. Let
00:31:46.640 --> 00:31:51.480
me go check this out. But again Having the initiative
00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:54.579
to just do it. That's all it is. Just have the
00:31:54.579 --> 00:31:59.140
initiative to do it. Alright So next part, let
00:31:59.140 --> 00:32:04.440
me explain this for those that will be seen a
00:32:04.440 --> 00:32:10.079
lot of episodes come out very soon And if not,
00:32:10.099 --> 00:32:12.940
they already out circulating by the time this
00:32:12.940 --> 00:32:19.700
is dropped. There is a very big difference in
00:32:19.700 --> 00:32:22.240
the content that's going to be that you're going
00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:26.819
to see. But it's eventually going to all tie
00:32:26.819 --> 00:32:34.819
together. Speaking of AI in the sense of a way
00:32:34.819 --> 00:32:41.930
to boost your anything not even just one thing
00:32:41.930 --> 00:32:46.369
anything and how to efficiently use it versus
00:32:46.369 --> 00:32:50.089
just abusing it in a sense because there are
00:32:50.089 --> 00:32:54.809
abusive sense of AI then there's a sense of you
00:32:54.809 --> 00:32:59.569
know really critical uh how can I say it's not
00:32:59.569 --> 00:33:02.650
just critical but it's really critical to the
00:33:02.650 --> 00:33:06.890
new age that's coming but it's already here meaning
00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:10.140
These tools are needed now because a lot of a
00:33:10.140 --> 00:33:11.880
lot of the companies a lot of brands that are
00:33:11.880 --> 00:33:15.480
out here are out running a lot of people just
00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:20.700
due to what AI has been presented late, so Teaching
00:33:20.700 --> 00:33:24.740
people the correct way is very important very
00:33:24.740 --> 00:33:31.799
very important on the This weekend coming I have
00:33:31.799 --> 00:33:34.400
to be in a it's actually a summit. I'm gonna
00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:38.069
show you the flyer But the case of I'll be speaking
00:33:38.069 --> 00:33:41.410
on it about in my position on it will be about
00:33:41.410 --> 00:33:46.069
music AI And how AI and music have joined together
00:33:46.069 --> 00:33:48.730
in a lot of different ways to help a lot of different
00:33:48.730 --> 00:33:52.369
brands? Not only am I going to be there They're
00:33:52.369 --> 00:33:54.170
going to be a lot of others there the ones that
00:33:54.170 --> 00:33:55.950
you will be seeing on these podcasts coming up
00:33:55.950 --> 00:34:00.230
I think I have about maybe five drops, maybe
00:34:00.230 --> 00:34:04.380
six drops that have come out with about maybe
00:34:04.380 --> 00:34:08.900
six different people, maybe five and all, maybe
00:34:08.900 --> 00:34:10.800
five drops and all, with about six different
00:34:10.800 --> 00:34:17.139
people who are certified AI, how to use it within
00:34:17.139 --> 00:34:23.300
your field. Also, I have attorney Nicole, considerably
00:34:23.300 --> 00:34:26.860
my attorney, Nicole, who's dropping by to drop
00:34:26.860 --> 00:34:30.380
some gems on. you know, the critical side of
00:34:30.380 --> 00:34:32.739
understanding that, you know, the legal things
00:34:32.739 --> 00:34:36.179
and legal sides of AI, how to use it, and making
00:34:36.179 --> 00:34:38.940
sure that we're using it the correct way. So,
00:34:38.940 --> 00:34:41.619
I'm... These individuals are actually trained
00:34:41.619 --> 00:34:42.719
and they know what they're talking about. Yeah,
00:34:42.780 --> 00:34:45.340
these are certified, these are certified people.
00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:47.619
These are not just, you know, anybody. I didn't
00:34:47.619 --> 00:34:49.800
just, I didn't want to just bring anybody on.
00:34:49.880 --> 00:34:51.960
I wanted to bring some people that I know that
00:34:51.960 --> 00:34:54.659
are certified. Yeah, yeah. Because it's about
00:34:54.659 --> 00:34:57.820
learning. And again, I want to learn. Definitely.
00:34:58.340 --> 00:35:00.699
Oh, yeah, definitely. With a turn in the code,
00:35:00.840 --> 00:35:02.900
you know, and her giving the legal side of things
00:35:02.900 --> 00:35:05.159
and making sure that you're staying safe under
00:35:05.159 --> 00:35:08.460
this umbrella of AI, because you can really get
00:35:08.460 --> 00:35:10.659
in trouble if you're not using it right. But
00:35:10.659 --> 00:35:13.579
the episodes that are going to come, they are
00:35:13.579 --> 00:35:16.480
very deep and they are very understandable. I
00:35:16.480 --> 00:35:18.679
mean, they're taking we're taking human values
00:35:18.679 --> 00:35:23.800
and AI values and meshing them together to help.
00:35:24.480 --> 00:35:26.380
Understand and make this picture even bigger
00:35:26.380 --> 00:35:31.019
so Stick around on the case of as I say for help.
00:35:31.639 --> 00:35:34.280
This is my point of help right here I don't want
00:35:34.280 --> 00:35:38.099
I didn't want to just be just any brand. That's
00:35:38.099 --> 00:35:42.880
just like just talk always talk never show um
00:35:42.880 --> 00:35:45.420
How do you show you link in with folk that's
00:35:45.420 --> 00:35:47.739
actually doing you link up with folk? That's
00:35:47.739 --> 00:35:49.820
actually doing you time with folk. That's actually
00:35:49.820 --> 00:35:52.349
doing it Instead of just making it seem as if
00:35:52.349 --> 00:35:54.510
and like oh man, I can't get to it You can get
00:35:54.510 --> 00:35:57.309
to a lot of this stuff without even paying for
00:35:57.309 --> 00:36:00.050
it You can get to a lawyer without even paying
00:36:00.050 --> 00:36:03.929
for it or her or him You can get to all of these
00:36:03.929 --> 00:36:06.650
all of this stuff is accessible Just open your
00:36:06.650 --> 00:36:10.389
mouth or open your emails or open your text messages
00:36:10.389 --> 00:36:13.230
up or open your phone up and make these phone
00:36:13.230 --> 00:36:15.929
calls call these people tap in with these phones
00:36:15.929 --> 00:36:18.920
because that's the only way that you can get
00:36:18.920 --> 00:36:22.159
and access these people, access the next level,
00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:24.920
it's just like you gotta ask the questions. Remember,
00:36:24.980 --> 00:36:27.960
don't abuse it. Use it to your advantage, but
00:36:27.960 --> 00:36:30.699
don't abuse it. Be a sponge. Don't ever fall
00:36:30.699 --> 00:36:32.480
into a position where you're just sitting up
00:36:32.480 --> 00:36:35.699
here just asking folk for something and not actually
00:36:35.699 --> 00:36:37.460
taking advantage of it, meaning taking advantage
00:36:37.460 --> 00:36:39.780
of learning how to do it, and then moving it
00:36:39.780 --> 00:36:45.730
into your own situation. Anything else you want
00:36:45.730 --> 00:36:47.750

00:38:00.769 --> 00:38:03.699
All right. She was sitting out to the side a
00:38:03.699 --> 00:38:05.619
little bit. Yeah, I don't think I was into the
00:38:05.619 --> 00:38:08.199
side and get back in the frame that a in the
00:38:08.199 --> 00:38:09.880
frame So was that all the way out the frame?
00:38:09.880 --> 00:38:13.380
You was almost out the frame? But you you was
00:38:13.380 --> 00:38:16.039
in it enough. I've been out the frame the whole
00:38:16.039 --> 00:38:18.619
now you've been in frame You was good until you
00:38:18.619 --> 00:38:23.619
turned chest sideways You good to you turn it
00:38:23.619 --> 00:38:26.099

y 'all today Take advantage of the things and
00:38:33.789 --> 00:38:36.030
the knowledge that Not Just Music Podcasts will
00:38:36.030 --> 00:38:40.309
be dropping. Plans are very, very deep driven.
00:38:40.949 --> 00:38:43.090
Maybe for the next two, three weeks, I'll be
00:38:43.090 --> 00:38:47.210
really busy. You will see us soon, but you will
00:38:47.210 --> 00:38:50.329
see more of other people on this platform as
00:38:50.329 --> 00:38:52.670
well and hear other people on this platform as
00:38:52.670 --> 00:38:55.429
well. So it's just all for the - Not Just Music
00:38:55.429 --> 00:38:58.510
Radio, people. I'm sorry. I'm going to get you.
00:38:58.570 --> 00:39:01.050
I'm about to talk about it. OK, OK, OK. I'm going
00:39:01.050 --> 00:39:04.349
to talk about it for the people that have a,
00:39:04.349 --> 00:39:07.929
you know, a hard time with understanding AI again.
00:39:08.010 --> 00:39:10.489
Stick around. It's going this is going to boost
00:39:10.489 --> 00:39:13.030
you. It's going to boost your brand too in a
00:39:13.030 --> 00:39:15.949
lot of different ways. So stick around for that.
00:39:16.230 --> 00:39:24.650
Lastly, the. NJMP radio. Branch that has just
00:39:24.650 --> 00:39:29.429
been applied is really. really, really inspiring
00:39:29.429 --> 00:39:34.269
for a bunch of different ways. One way is to
00:39:34.269 --> 00:39:38.809
connect with other music artists. That's always
00:39:38.809 --> 00:39:43.909
a grand thing to do is connecting with those
00:39:43.909 --> 00:39:47.869
who are in the field that you do. Also, if you
00:39:47.869 --> 00:39:53.449
are an artist who needs space, who wants... an
00:39:53.449 --> 00:39:56.269
opportunity for your music to get played and
00:39:56.269 --> 00:39:59.769
be in rotation please hit the contact button
00:39:59.769 --> 00:40:03.090
above it is very much important that you make
00:40:03.090 --> 00:40:08.449
sure that you have the mp3 file and your album
00:40:08.449 --> 00:40:12.650
cover artwork very important that it is mixed
00:40:12.650 --> 00:40:18.369
and mastered to considerably industry levels
00:40:18.369 --> 00:40:22.119
don't This is real professional too. It's like
00:40:22.119 --> 00:40:25.340
a real professional. So come at it with like
00:40:25.340 --> 00:40:28.400
that please people, gentlemen, ladies. Don't
00:40:28.400 --> 00:40:34.400
feel as if in that there's not a thing of genre
00:40:34.400 --> 00:40:36.800
strict or something to that nature. It's not
00:40:36.800 --> 00:40:39.539
really genre strict. It's more so does your music
00:40:39.539 --> 00:40:42.719
make sense? Does it sound good? We want to hear
00:40:42.719 --> 00:40:46.500
them bangers too. Like I listen to them. I love
00:40:46.500 --> 00:40:49.409
it. All the songs we playing on the radio station,
00:40:49.510 --> 00:40:52.250
I think people should tune in. It was very entertaining,
00:40:52.449 --> 00:40:55.170
great music. Me and Dwyane get on there with
00:40:55.170 --> 00:40:57.889
some topics. Hopefully we branch out. More people
00:40:57.889 --> 00:41:01.750
will be available on the topics, educating us.
00:41:02.869 --> 00:41:05.630
So tune out, tune in, tune in, check it out.
00:41:05.730 --> 00:41:07.989
Not just music radio, for sure, for sure. Okay,
00:41:08.030 --> 00:41:12.690
lastly, again, let me add this piece to it. With
00:41:12.690 --> 00:41:15.230
the... Levels and things of that nature as I
00:41:15.230 --> 00:41:18.369
say make sure that this this meets industry standards
00:41:18.369 --> 00:41:23.030
what I mean by industry standard is that it is
00:41:23.030 --> 00:41:26.750
The quality of what you were here on iTunes what
00:41:26.750 --> 00:41:29.489
you were here on the radio It has to have that
00:41:29.489 --> 00:41:32.889
type of vibe that sonic it has to be sonically
00:41:32.889 --> 00:41:36.250
there if it's not sonically there I cannot post
00:41:36.250 --> 00:41:41.789
it I Cannot post it Okay, and instrumentals,
00:41:41.809 --> 00:41:45.349
I cannot post those either. So if it's something
00:41:45.349 --> 00:41:47.110
that's to an instrumental phase or something
00:41:47.110 --> 00:41:50.030
to that nature, I'm sorry, but this is for completed
00:41:50.030 --> 00:41:52.690
songs that are in the nature of who would have
00:41:52.690 --> 00:41:57.070
vocals in music together. Even if you're a crazy
00:41:57.070 --> 00:42:00.630
queen, you deserve a spot on Not Just Music Radio,
00:42:00.849 --> 00:42:07.610
you feel me? And also if y 'all have a question,
00:42:07.840 --> 00:42:10.480
Feel free to ask that too. If it's just the thing,
00:42:10.699 --> 00:42:12.920
you can hit the contact button as well for that.
00:42:12.960 --> 00:42:15.840
If it's the question that has to be asked, ask.
00:42:17.519 --> 00:42:21.179
Autism community, those that who have or are
00:42:21.179 --> 00:42:24.000
disabled who have disabilities, I'm thinking
00:42:24.000 --> 00:42:26.780
about y 'all all the time, man. Y 'all have nothing
00:42:26.780 --> 00:42:28.900
but the utmost respect for me because a lot of
00:42:28.900 --> 00:42:30.519
people don't know what y 'all have to go through
00:42:30.519 --> 00:42:32.940
and those who care for them don't know what you
00:42:32.940 --> 00:42:36.119
have to go through either. So, blessings to you
00:42:36.119 --> 00:42:38.880
all. and I just need to podcast. Until next time,
00:42:39.059 --> 00:42:39.219
peace.
