One of the things I refuse to do is just make music when I'm not INSPIRED. I have to be inspired because I make better music when something is inspiring me. Unless someone is paying me, that's the only time I operate with a deadline. I could go months without going in my studio if I'm not feeling it or I don't have fresh ideas. Sometimes I could go for days straight. My mission is to create GREAT music.... Not LOTS of music. Quality over quantity!
I really like that Bolo is such a positive person. This is what I imagined that all of the music community would be like, however that is not the case. Many of us want to collaborate with others, but because of the amount of mental health issues and just down right misogyny it's just not even possible. I keep making music and learning. I appreciate information like this as it helps me to self actualize and grow.
Its always nice to hear knowledge and understanding from you Bolo. I am taking a break right now for about a week. If you don’t take vacations away from everything you’ll pass out on stage right in front of everybody. Take care of your health.

Wouldn't quantity lead to more quality if done long enough? Experience is the best teacher, and you learn a lot by doing. Just my $.02. Pareto Principle says we're only going to make 80% of our income from 20% of our output. You'd end up having more quality from the extended work than you would banging your head over one beat. Also, I appreciate constructive criticism/feedback. Major growth from those. Also, eat some fruit and drink water. Take care of yourself. Healthy body=healthy mind. (I'm relearning this).
Maybe what he meant is to know what you are doing. Of course you must have lots of stuff but you need some music theory, mixing, mastering, knowledge so it can be of help later. Do music but don't use all your time for creating, remember that you need some technical knowledge.
I been hot with the rhymes forever but it was hard for me to get beat’s started making beats during Covid like fuck it you’ve been a huge inspiration one love !
The best bit of advice you give alot in regards to getting payed is get a entertainment lawyer. Most people who I say "Right let's write up an agreement with what We are going to do together and get that checked by a Lawyer" They look at Me in confusion.
You need to make music everyday...making "bad" music is part of the process. It will allow you to experiment, practice, and figure out how to improve your music. A lot of hit music contains what some people would call "bad beats".

Hold on big dogg you said get out bit how can I get better if I don’t sit in the house and practice?!?!?’ I’ll watch the news and Ak but my head down 24/7 no Diddy
You say don't hate. I agree. However, "fire" is cliche and too many cats think a lame soul sample that wasn't hittin' all that hard in it's day becomes "fire" when they add an 808.

Point being "Don't rush to do a lot. Take your time and deliver quality."
@@dahoodcast that makes sense.
