Need some inspiration....

[O.T.I.S.]

Ive put making beats on the backburner. I dont feel nothing unless i learn or create. I know there are a lot of people making music, art, etc... Thats ALWAYS been my thing. I won many art awards as a kid, and i was the one that started most my friends who DJ locally or produce music locally... I was the first... They followed my lead

Now i find myself just being a fan of talented people instead of creating my own... While i do shyt in the real world that doesn't satisfy me creatively.. I feel like i dont belong

But I dont feel anything unless i can create something that people acknowledge.. In all aspects. I have a friend that is a popular local DJ in south florida for me, a local producer in ga because of me, even my lil sister who is an artist and trying to be an engineer because of me (not mad at that at all)

But i want to be successful myself

So how do i get my creative juices back?

Im trying but feel like i hit a wall. I have no inspiration or will to learn anymore... It's depressing. I sit infront of all my equipment with no plan

Ive never had support really... Its like everyone heard the shyt i did and stole it or felt like they could do it better.

Im lost... I want to do what i love but not sure what to do to get there

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Whats funny is that my homie in GA., when we get together we bounce ideas off each other and its great. Of course we not there yet but i know i could be. I made a rough beat and put it on soundcloud next thing you know, the basic melody is stolen and remixed.

And not in a bad way, it was dope. But ofcourse, i receive no recognition which is cool. I just want to get motivated and comfortable... Happy making beats. I wanna do this forever... But this shyt is tough

 

[O.T.I.S.]

And ive put shyt on here... I was in one of those oldass beat battles. Thats where one of my beats was jacked imo. I just want to get the motivation to do more

maybe you should read the 48 laws

watch some old movies and documentaries

listen to genres of music that seem interesting to you that you have never dived into before

write down your observations when doing shyt in the real world that doesn't satisfy you

Try a little randomness

Give yourself a deadline to make a beat (15 minutes or a day etc) - Don't be too critical of the result. And work from there.

Use random sounds and try new techniques/do things differently.

Watch beat making videos/ tutorials/interviews

Don't overthink

Get lost in something you enjoy before making a beat

Go for a run

Do more beat battles

Treat ur marketing as an art itself.

Once u do that it all comes together

i think you know exactly what to do but you're too worried about your shyt getting stolen and that's causing a "creative block" for you... if you're dope just keep making dope shyt...dont let the possibility of someone sharkbiting stagnate you

What always gets me inspired is simply reminding myself why I do it.
