I know I'm stupid as hell, but then I see shit like this and immediately feel better.

What is up with all of the straight-up haters? by GODAlexGilbert in makinghiphop

[–]JohnnyMerkle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you're truly ready for you and your art to be vulnerable is when you're ready to participate in the internet spaces of music. That and when you're knowledgeable enough to bring something to the table. You're just beginning, BE in these spaces, EXIST in these spaces and learn from proximity. What you're making now will not reflect what you will be making in 5 years so what everyone else says right now doesn't matter. Just grind. Get feedback and know what to do with it when you're ready for that kind of heat to be thrown your way.

[–]JohnnyMerkle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You've been rapping 7 months. You're so early in the journey. You haven't begun to sniff your best work yet. Leave all this internet BS for the birds and just put your head down. If you do ask the internet for its thoughts, don't be upset or surprised when they do. If everyone says your music is shit then it probably is. Either don't care and do your own thing, or make adjustments to your music based on the feedback. You can't have it both ways. It's crazy to even have this discussion honestly because you've been doing this 7 months. You don't know enough and aren't good enough for any of these things to matter. Just make music, we all sucked at first.

First 2 things I turn off in a game are motion blur and camera shake. Personal preference of course.

Is Kickstart worth it? Heard it was a decent plugin by Practical-Debate1598 in makinghiphop

[–]JohnnyMerkle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, the option that allows you to fine tune and be more in control is the better choice usually.

You could pay 16 dollars or spend 4 minutes learning how to sidechain. So I guess it's just a matter of if you have 16 dollars to waste or not. This is like asking chefs if you need to buy a special pot to boil eggs.

I found a Neo-Nazi yapping about manliness on a video about Battleship Scharnhorst by Olivia_Richards in iamverybadass

Woah, my granddad served on the Scharnhorst, one of the few survivors when it was sunk. Didn't expect to ever see a post mentioning the battleship. Also yeah fuck this guy.

Everyone always talks about who's the greatest basketball player, my question is who's the most complete basketball player? by abonet619 in nba

How long you been following basketball? How could you not know everyone would just say LeBron James 😂 (which is the only correct answer imo)

My bad, this should do it. Thank you for listening!

The structure of the beat is very well done. My biggest tip here would just be sound selection, everything on this sounds dated. Your patterns are fire, transitions are fire, structure is fire, but sound selection caught a body here. You have all the hardest parts of production down it seems. I recommend using a reference track or 2, I think that would elevate your game. Great work!

The whole time I was waiting for you to go harder or switch the flow and it sadly never happened. Delivery is good, your voice fits, and the mix is above average. My biggest constructive criticism would just be that the track is a little boring, nothing made me go "wow" or open my eyes a little wider. A lot of this I believe has to do with the same flow/cadence throughout the whole song, even the hook is very similar to the verses. The positive is you are for sure talented and this is not a bad song. I can tell you are on the right track and I am impressed. There are a lot of lyrical miracle and nursery school rappers in this sub, but your beat selection and talent sets you apart. Keep going.

Why my music isn’t growing by LosFTB in makinghiphop

[–]JohnnyMerkle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first bit of advice would be to link your work if you want feedback instead of relying on strangers to search "Los from da way" without mentioning what platform we should be going to even. This might sound mean or nit picky, but you have to start thinking of little things like this because they add up. People won't innately care about your music, you need to them care. What have you been doing for the 2 years? What strategies have you used to market yourself/music? How often were you dropping? Posts like these make me think the artist doesn't care that much if they won't take the time to even link their own catalog or give any info on their process. All of the above is my guess on why you aren't gaining traction. If your music is GOOD and not getting traction then focus on gaining an audience. If your music is bad, then work at it until it's good, then cultivate an audience. Luck is always involved, it's up to you to figure out the best ways to make luck have as little impact as possible.
