Wednesday the 25th of September 2024 and the title of today's reflection is going to be Without the Foundations. So I'm kind of like going to do something I've never really done before and just basically kind of like express my fully unfiltered fucking opinion.
So like I've just literally, it's like literally like 9pm in the freaking evening and I think I've pretty much been sat on this computer, I'm kind of like on and off pretty much since
about I want to say half past 6 7 a.m. and all I effectively been doing if I haven't spoken about it already is effectively trying to siphon basically kind of like 15 mini clips out of this freaking video that's like half an hour long and basically kind of like turn them into clips that I can spread them and I can schedule them across freaking social media so that effectively they can be so effectively anybody who kind of looks at these clips will effectively look at them
and just rather than them having to feel overwhelmed by watching the whole fucking half an hour, like they just basically see the tiny little clips and then maybe I might be able to arouse curiosity by doing that. It was a very, very painful affair. Like unfortunately things weren't as simple as like, you know, just go into each platform, i.e. TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube and effectively post all of these videos
one by one. I encountered several fucking problems, problems that effectively made me question my whole career. So like you know one of the problems that I encountered is like with TikTok I can only post 10 days in advance, where really and truthfully I wanted to kind of like schedule like you know 15 posts across the whole month of October, so then I encountered some problems there.
The similar issue came up with freaking Instagram, but thankfully I've been able to find a way around that. I've spent so much time, something that I thought I was going to spend maybe about two hours doing at best, I ended up spending the whole fucking day. Really and truthfully, sometimes I do sit there and ask myself, do I put that music out without building the foundations or do I build the foundations without having the
music first? This is one of the popular debates that I guess come up on a frequent basis within the space of the journey of becoming a popular artist or a popular rap artist. But it's one of those things where, look, as much as I would want to be able to put my music out on a consistent freaking basis right now without having those foundations set, I genuinely feel like nobody is going to give a shit about my music. Like again, I'll say this now and I'll say it a million times over, music is a commodity,
it's no longer a rarity so nobody is going to care. Yes I might be able to put out the best music in the freaking world and again, that's an interesting one as well because again, only a rare few are actually able to put out the best music without having the best engineer, the best producer, the best singer-songwriter kind of like you know helping them alongside the best freaking vocal coach, the best studio that has been recorded in. These hits are very difficult to make when you're kind of like operating as a lone wolf
with not the greatest deal of experience. So you know with that being said, why would I try to put out that music knowing that it's not going to be heard by anybody? The foundations that I'm building in place, these are the things that effectively work together with my music to make sure that it garners some degree of curiosity. Trying to put your music out there without having these foundations in place is the equivalent of basically standing out in the freaking rain trying to collect water with a fucking
sieve and I wouldn't freaking recommend it because then you just look like a stupid freaking idiot. I mean you look like an idiot anyway trying to freaking impress people by putting out content on a daily basis but you look more stupid thinking that you're going to be able to build a foundation, build a fan base, build a community by effectively just putting out music. No, like this, this stuff kind of like needs to, it needs something. But anyway, that's all going to be it from me. I'm going to go and get myself some well-deserved fucking sleep.
