I had no idea you had a music career brewing breh, going to check out some of your material :obama:

About the thread itself, I'm not an artist, but I know many so I completely get it.

Going to leave some of the best advice I ever read, this one is from DJ Khaled's book, but Brene Brown also has an entire book on this, hopefully it'll help you in your travels:

Being yourself is power. In some ways, of all the major keys, it’s the most important key. But it’s the hardest to master. It’s the one you have to keep working at as life goes on, and it’s the one that leads to the others. Not being true to yourself is how you know that “they” are in your head. That’s real talk. Ignoring who you are will eat at you. When you live life by what you think other people want from you, you aren’t really living. Over time it might make you feel hollow or hateful.

Because here’s a major key: Know that most people in the world aren’t being themselves. Being real when other people are fake is what sets you apart. The issue is that it’s easy to forget who you are. Especially if you’re young. Especially if you’re different from everybody else. People are suspicious of people who stick out. But there’s no path to more success where the first chapter isn’t being yourself. Matter fact, look at any artist or successful person. I guarantee that there isn’t a single person I look up to who wasn’t called crazy or weird at some point in their life. “They” will always tell you that your ideas are stupid and that they’re never going to work— until they do. This is the hardest part of being yourself; it’s risky. It’s scary to think that people might reject you or what you create. There’s nothing to hide behind, and there’s no one else to blame. But you have to be fearless. No one else is going to ride for you harder than you will. And being loved for being someone else is an empty life. You’ll never experience true joy, and a life without true joy is not living. Once you learn who you are and the rewards come, think about how to be better. It’s not about changing the essence of your personality and character; it’s about working on the parts of you that may not be the best yet. This is how to become more than who you’re born as. This is how experience and wisdom make you develop into a better person, and this is how your goals get bigger and your standards get higher.

I understand you're trying to get fans now though, but once you fully establish yourself, maybe this advice punches you to that next level. Best of luck breh!

Remember how I said that I'd leave once my music took off?

:francis:

Imma miss posting on here regularly but at this point I have published interviews with me online my name ans music is in stores in and outside of America and i dont want a Dej Loaf twitter/internet type incident happening to me that could fukk up my career and everything I've built to this point. Im excited for fame but nervouse about the fame. Have had endless alerts on tumblr twitter instagram for months now.

Today...on twitter...i forgot it was twitter and exposed the address of some racist white guy who made death threats to Obama and tweeted it to Tariq Nasheed and the FBI (he later deleted the tweet) then I realized... :patrice: yea I can't do that anymore twitter aint the coli.

I'm gonna miss the days when I was I was a broke ass college graduate posting on here while trying to find work in NYC while working on music when I technically was not known by people...but its like...when you get known on some levels the things you used to take for granted that you like that you indulged in...you cant indulge in regulary.

With that said a heads up to people on here posting....watch what you say on social media and what you like and retweet/quote/reblog.

The difference between me and alot of yall is yall working for white folks and white folks are the majority of people who follow me on social media and purchase my music and stuff. So i dont want to sound like a c00n when I say this but you gotta watch what you say on here. I dread a moment happens if somebody takes something I post out of context and tries to paint me as "anti-white", "racist", "sexist", "homophobic", "misogynistic", or whatever. If you want to be successful you cant alienate your audience whoever that may be.

Just a heads up. I'll be lurking and posting...but not as much. Yeah

Thank you coli for being there on the way man...i couldnt of done it without ya!

Smh, you shouldn't call yourself Sagat, he isn't close to being this bytchmade :mjlol:

Peace brother it was nice knowing you:myman: I've generally agreed with most of your posts.

I have those same worries about comments I make here coming back to bite me in the ass somewhere else. That's why I won't post my full face or post my music, an incredibly intuitive and dedicated person could probably figure out who I am to be honest based on all the information I've provided.

But obviously I'm not where you are now partly due to a lack of direction and ambition on my part.

Disappointed in some of the responses in this thread.. I have a white director I report to but the medical license and degrees in my office allow me not to give two fukks as long as my check hits my account once a month.

As far as my breh, good luck to you and I'll be keeping up with you since you dabble with house/techno music

A post Sagat made in one of my threads
Man imma be real as fukk here.

When i started posting on the coli regularly i had just graduated college and was unemployed and struggling and it was a good place to vent and let off steam nkw that im seeing some success in life ans am not feeling all against the world and shyt I notice how flawed this sub-forum is and asides from the regular crew i just try to stay away from the negative stuff. The majority of my circle is relatively successful now and if you followed me up until now you can definitely see i am not the same poster i once was.

Honestly that's some real shyt and I respect it. What he said obviously strikes through this very topic

The Coli should have some sort of invisibility mode where you deactivate your account and only board wide admins can bring it back...or a perma-delete too.

You not meaning to sound like a c00n doesn't change the fact that you sound like one, you thought it was perfectly fine to expose cacs when you had nothing to lose but now that cacs are buttering your bread, you find it necessary to tap dance and mind your manners.

This is exactly what @DrX keeps trying to tell you nikkas but you dismiss him as crazy.


bump, never forget

What sagat said was common sense and if you disagree it's the reason you aren't in his position
