My dude has worked in the film industry and has risen to great heights...you know when i find out about releases hes connected to? The day of release...
The #1 rule I learned on my course in studio etiquette at SAE was literally, “Shut the f*ck up when you’re new in a studio session. Nobody knows you or cares.” I still live by that rule every time I work with other artists. Lol.
did that for 20 years & never got noticed or heard. bad advice.
Thats sad ngl :(
Some things i've learned when being in sessions:
-Be prepared with beats or ideas
-Don’t be afraid to try out different ideas and sounds
-listen and try to find and ride the wave of the artist
-don’t take it personal if ”the room” don't go with your ideas. It just means that they are looking for another vibe/sound.
-leave the business (contracts/percentages) outside of the creative space that you are in.
-leave you ego and all that shit outside.
One of the oldest sayings “ don’t count your chickens before they hatch”. I apply this to life.
Man I learned this the hard way but it didn't slow me down I had to keep it moving
Really appreciate you giving all of this free knowledge
🙏🏽🛠️
For me I have leave to emotionally detach even if something big seems to be happening or happens. I only give me self a short time to be excited about the work. Other than that treat it like I'm still a cashier at Wal mart. It's just a job
"The world does somethin' very interestin', in that, when you're detached from the things that you're obsessed over; you're detached from the things that you're like, *I need this to come, I need this to happen..* they have a weird way of actually happenin' when you put your focus elsewhere."
This one of my favorites right here. On some DJ sh!t, I see the power of detachment as that which happens when you flip The Law of Attraction with a #Backspin.
#Gems 🔥💎🔥

Yo lol when I got my first placement with a major artist, I was lucky enough to be in the session. I was told it was ok fro me to take pictures, get on IG, etc. I did no such thing because of the horror stories I heard about talking to much. I git the placement but I wouldn't tell the internet until it dropped. I think keeping quiet is just best. The song is No Man Falls on Drillmatic by The Game.
ion like that song but i'm still rooting for you
That was like only song I kept on repeat from that album 😂 was the final beat pretty much exactly how you made it or did they tweak and change a lot about it?
@@fauxsuede. how it came out was how we did it. We had drums on Game’s verse but took them off cause I thought it wasn’t needed. He allowed me to produce. Barked at me once for being to quiet lol.
@@acct4600 thank you
This is what they need to hear 🔥🔥🔥 dope video curtiss
Silence is "GOLDEN" however on the flip side it can be just plain "YELLOW" 🤷♂️...I believe there's times to be silent but there are other times to speak up....💯🙏
So I get where you’re coming from when it applies to speaking up for yourself. But the silence we’re talking about applies to not allowing a bragging mouth to ruin your blessings.
I lost a LOT of opportunities not knowing this. Learned the hard way. I'm glad I learned but damn.
Dude worked with future so much, his voice hot a contact..
the outro hit to the bone
Facts! Great video. Keep at it fellow producers! 💪🏾🔥
I appreciate your content.
this mindset comes out after their first placement because this is our dreams come true.
Even more reason to pick this game up from them and not make the mistake the first time around
8:49 what's the fine line between coming off like you are eager, patient, yet ready to work vs being "to thirsty"? What's the best way for new beatmakers and producers to approach artists, or if invited to work with an artist, to avoid being starved and be seen more like you are dedicated to your craft, in it to work, and to create mutually beneficial relationships at that time and in the future?
I’ve been producing music for tv and film and I never post about it until after it has already aired lol
Exactly 🎯
Speaking facts ! 👑🛠
Your final thoughts on this topic is pretty much how the law of attraction works, as you already know. Just set it and forget it. That work will speak for itself and bring in more opportunities. Remember to remain cool.
One of the most valuable types of game
I've had the honor of getting placements with some legendary artists in the past (Styles P, Sheek Louch, M.O.P. more) and was even mentioned in The Source once but I can't seem to get a grip on this online beat selling game. Been on Beatstars since October and have only made 5 sales so far. Trying my best to go outside of my BoomBap comfort zone and mess with Trap and Drill.. even started playing the keys and stopped sampling. I want to find some dope upcoming artists and build a sound with them. Been doing this too long (20+ years) and getting discouraged.
i got to the point where i just stopped trying to get on the beat selling bandwangon. what happened to all the beats you DIDNT sell? they are probably just on your drive not doing anything right? PUT THOSE SHITS OUT!!! i shifted from a beat selling producer to a "instrumental artist" i took those beats i didnt sell, compiled them into singles and eps and put them out. i always leave the option open for people who want to buy them, but for the most part those beats are now a part of my catalog. and the good thing is I GET ALL THE MONEY FOR THEM!!! i dont have to split royalties. i get ALL the sync, performance, and mechanicals. everything comes out on MY label, and through MY publishing company.
@iamexel i say all that to say this. DONT BE DISCOURAGED make that shift if you have to. i STILL get to do the boom bap that i love and NOT HAVE TO venture into something else. 4 of my beats charted on itunes, and one of my beat eps was submitted for Grammy consideration. YOU CAN MAKE THE SAME SHIT HAPPEN!! if you need any help, holla at me.
@@DJICEMAN_73 thanks for the pointers my brother. I've been contemplating releasing instrumentals on streaming services but didn't know it could be that lucrative. This is definitely what I needed to hear. I definitely appreciate you reaching out Fam. Salute 🫡
@@exelbeats ima keep it a buck, if youre looking to make a ton of money, its not gonna happen unless you get a TON of streams, and ALL your business is on point. but its better to have those beats earning SOMETHING than just being on your drive earning NOTHING. plus the more beats you have out, the bigger your catalog will be. and a lot of times this will open you up to more opportunities. when people ask" what have you done" and you point them to a large catalog, they will know that youre serious. i have over 600 beats (and counting) out on all the platforms. they are ALL earning a lil change.
people told me that "i wouldnt do numbers with just boom bap beat tapes" on streamin platforms, but here i am 4 million streams later. i got to score a movie, and i have a few tv placements all from what i put out as an artist...
@@DJICEMAN_73 that's dope as hell Fam. Thanks again for sharing the knowledge. I'm on it!
Sim needs to be my man
That camera 📸 rule is one that ppl must take seriously. 4:25 especially when bammas try to secretly video record smh 🤦🏾
How about looking at it the fact that you are NOT for everybody and be thankful.
Why be thankful?
The worse thing you can have is the wrong people.
I learned this as a teenager, just stfu & just chill!!! If you grew up in the trenches you already know this
🗣💯💯💯💯💯
FACTS!!!
Tell em
Voice sounding like: Day 15 of working with future
yea no problem, gonna hook up with Future next week
If you think this only applies to sessions with artists of Future’s level, you’ve missed the point
all of this screams that success comes from being passive. not how the real world works
Not really, more so, not counting your eggs before they hatch.
Thank you. The same mentality that has cats out there working for free. Know your worth.
@@ssmfetti what eggs?
This stuff isn’t common sense? Let’s be real, you’re not going to learn the in and outs of anything watching videos all damn day.
