  • U.K. DJ and producer ​Mura Masa dropped his self-titled debut album last year, marking the culmination of several years of growing buzz and collaborations with high-profile artists. The album includes collaborations with A$AP Rocky, Charli XCX, Desiigner, and more, but it’s “What If I Go?,” Mura Masa’s collaboration with Irish singer-songwriter Bonzai, that has stuck with many fans. Since the album’s release last July, “What If I Go?” has earned over 42 million Spotify streams.

      He’s saying BS, you’ll have a more guaranteed career & not be a one hit wonder if you produce to make a good song everytime. I’m Very dissapointed to hear him say that 1000 bad idea thing

    • @gonzomuse
      @gonzomuse 6 лет назад +22

      He is talking about working through ideas. Most producers/writers have hundreds of song ideas on their drives and most get discarded because they just aren't good enough. That's just the reality of it. Why waste your time continuing working on something that you know isn't happening? No-one I know constantly shits gold. It's that classic thing wake up the next day and go "WTF was I thinking?". Just throw that shit away, and start again, It will bring you closer to your next incredible song.

      RoyaltyProductionsDA Even deadmau5 said it's important to know when an idea isn't working and to ditch it and try something else. The more shitty ideas you get out your system the closer you get to making something good.

    1) so yeah i got a sample from a sample pack

    Nice to see an actual fucking dope producer explain how they created an entire song rather than just throw drums over a basic ass sample like most of these trap producers for all the mainstream shit.
    I'd personally love to see more producers like Mura Masa on here... producers like Cashmere Cat, Flume, Clams Casino, Frank Dukes, araabmuzik, Hudson Mohawke x Lunice, Mr. Carmack, Sango, Monte Booker, Kaytranada etc.

What's more he actually understands the cultural meaning of all he does and incorporates instruments like the harp which you hear very rarely in today's music. I think what he does is unique and I can't wait for more hits to come! :D
