INVESTMENT,INVESTMENT,INVESTMENT!!

This video around 3:30 sums up what I talk about all day artist and these so called label owners are not willing to go the extra mile to take their career to the next level. The game has become cheap and like everything else cheap nobody wants to buy it example bad record sales. Everyone thinks they are cut out for this Music Industry it's the new Basketball or Football with recording equipment sooooooo cheap and tracks at the press of a button, the music industry has been over saturated with weak product that consumers don't want to buy because everyone can do it. I remember when my mom use to buy records and I would listen and say "I wish I could do that and I wonder how they made that", Thinking my goal was out of reach. It was like these people who made this music were untouchable like Lionel Richie, Patti Labelle, Luther Vandross,Black Sabbath, Brothers Johnson and Sade just to name a few. They "I thought were the gods of music". From then I knew I had to work and learn and stay focused to do music and learn some more.


This leads me back to my point, during my learning about music and studios and buying equipment and paying a like 900 for a 4 track tape deck and like $3000 for the DIGI 001 (with a G4 Buy the way) or saving up to get my first set of turntables back when I realized this was an INVESTMENT for life and the cost for what I wanted to do.
I think that day has gone dudes walk into a fully laid out studio and think they mans $100 mic and Mbox Mini is the same thing (It's Not) and don't want to pay what does that say about your music or your passion for Music?


This game is dying off of this attitude, invest in your music your craft just like a contractor has to buy the best tools no matter the cost because it's what they use to eat, We as Musicians use this music to eat. That means get quality recordings,quality beats and hold everyone else around you to the same standard. You might say "I ain't got no money" but I bet you got money to go to the club or buy Jordans something that makes you nothing! Let's bring quality back!
