What is making it? Do I really need and want fame and fortune?
I really put some thought into it. I don't want to be an idol and the industry isn't a great environment.
Gimme a break. Making it doesn't mean you'll be a rock star making 20 mill a gig. It could be consistent work with decent pay.

My mistake. To me, the first sentence implied it. Every career path is filled with troubles.
Consistent work with decent pay as a musician or writer? Tough. I will still do it but what I'm saying is. I can't use it as a croutch to raise my value.

The music industry is fake and trash. People just looking for the next hot controversial thing.

I mean we got talentless ex whores who dont even write their own lyrics on top, winning grammys and misguiding the youth (Cardi B) People that cant even rap getting millions of views (Blue face), drug addicts who mumble rap...and I could go on.

The real talent is lost in the oversaturated sea of shyt. Your best of out of it tbh.

As if they are begging you to enter and you're too noble

Fame is like women. It chooses who it wants. Your little 3 min song you made as kind of a lark will blow up suddenly if it has that "thing". Ask Lil Nas X.

Or, some artists - even famous ones - make an album and it sells 200 copies. Like Boosie.

As an artist all you can really do is create and find a way to promote your stuff. YouTube and such.

If fame ends up coming your way it will be the 1 song that strikes out of nowhere. Not the fact that you sit down and say "this is gonna be my HIT" and force it to come together.

If you're creating with pure intent then youll do your best work. Forget about everything beyond the technical aspect of making dope art.... during the process of making the art. If you wanna put on the promoter hat AFTER you have your body of work, then you can pick a few to really push or whatever.

But product is the name of the game. You have to make that one song that blows. And you won't be able to decide which one. You just have to keep taking shots

I really like this answer. Microwave era is quite concerning for anyone who wants to put out their heart and soul into their work.
