John's "Legend" is a "Myth" ... he's simply known for being known like the Kardashians. Not to mention his name sounds so similar to John Lennon, which was intentional Music is nothing more than Mathematics and Numbers. Check out these strange number synchronicities ● Jim Morrison (Born: 128 - December 8) - Died under mysterious circumstances ● Sinead O'Connor (Born: 128 - December 8) - Died under mysterious circumstances ● Juice WRLD (Died: 128 - December 8) - Died under mysterious circumstances ● John Lennon (Died: 128 - December 8) - Assassination ● Nicki Minaj (Born: 128 - December 8) ● Taylor Swift Eras Tour Ends 128 - December 8 There are 12 notes in an Octave, and typically 8 notes in a scale Coincidence?

@@UncleBenjs It might be beyond the scope of human understanding or what science is able to explain, but if I had to guess, then I'd say.... It may be related to Newtons 3rd Law of Motion where 'every action has an equal and opposite reaction' and the choices and carrer path they chose might possibly cause the 'synchronicity' to exist in some fashion It could also be related to something more sinister like Kabbalah Ma'sit being practiced within the Industry by an Elite few in some capacity Those are the only two logical conclusions I can think of. Maybe I'm wrong, and maybe it can be explained away, but it's interesting nonetheless how different artists from different eras synchronize I also found it interesting that Sinead O'Connor won her first Grammy at the "33rd" Grammy Awards O'Connor became a Catholic priest of some kind before converting to Islam. The Islamic prayer beads have 100 beads, which are broken down into 3 sets of "33" (3 × 33), and 1 extra bead to signify a round of praying is complete O'Connor died during the "33rd" year after winning her first Grammy O'Connor died exactly "33" weeks after her birthday if you include the end date Strange, huh? I doubt it's all coincidence, but who knows what it truly means or might be going on in the music industry behind the scenes. It's interesting one way or another

@@ruzen3803 you've picked 6 artists out of millions, and each year music sees another 1.3m artists enter and roughly 700k of them make some sort of career. It's easy to pick a tiny handful of people who all fit a coincidence. Try that from a bigger sample and all of a sudden it doesn't work anymore, or pick another number and out of the millions of artists and bands we can cherry pick people who fit those dates also. Do you get what I am getting at?

Re: what Buckley's career would've/could've been, it's important to note that Columbia Records signed him to their 'Legacy' division. Which, as I understand it, was their classification for artists that they wanted for the remainder of their careers.. that they were utterly committed to. (The only other artist with that classification at Columbia, that +I'm+ familiar with, at the time, was Bob Dylan.) ...It's why he signed with them. Given that Buckley was an absolutely electrifying live artist, +I+ think it was "only a matter of time" before the world saw him as an undeniably once-in-a-generation artist. At the low end... maybe a David Byrne-esque career. At the upper end.. maybe one closer to Springsteen... or Dylan? (The songwriting on 'My Sweetheart the Drunk' is... a wild departure from Grace. His trajectory seems impossible to map from just two* disparate albums. i.e. It seems likely that he would have found his way to more electronic music at some point.. a la Thom Yorke.) For my money, the finest male voice in the history of recorded music.

One of the beautiful things about hip hop that the disciplines battle each other, which can provide some pretty honest feedback. You know you're on to something good when you start taking out direct competitors. Obviously, it's not perfect and you're not likely to get detailed feedback from battle, but if you're just trying to find out if you're onto something then a battle can be a good way to find out. I only mention this because this is a hip hop channel.

Advice is usually forget music from the people who have no idea of music. Other advice is, come to work in grocery shop or some what ever field they are doing themselves. Well gee thanks for the advice. "I work in warehouse, so you should also do that, I hate it, but lets be miserable together".

The most advice I ever taken has been lately actually….i notice I don’t really do things exactly like all the advice I e gotten but sort of a mix of all the advice combined into my own flow. Once I found the sound I was after it was like a light bulb went off as to what makes the best possible sound for me the fastest and easiest way….but I found that way experimenting with other people’s advice. There are so many options for every problem

Some of the worst advice ever I have taken from myself in regards to limiting my scope of production and also some of my peers I’ve had appaling advice from. You are bang on the money with guitar tuitors they basically create mini thems in a lot of cases which is crazy. It comes from the idolisation of the learner and the ego of the teacher. Get rid of that and we’ll have more unique guitar players. All the best players are self taught check it out 😄 superb advice as usual Tony.

It’s a lot worse when it is traditional cultural guitar music that has to be played a certain way. Some of those teachers only ever get a few or handful of students and it’s been that way ever since because a lot of people are not immigrating into America anymore from Europe.

Camera improved? Production quality looking great. That feature wall is something special too. And ofc great info, over 25 years making beats (with a big chunk of time out due to illness and homelessness resulting from illness) I've tried a bunch of different approaches, mostly on the tracking and mixing side of things. As for beats ive tried a bunch of diff machines and a couple of pc daws years back and found the mpc was always my jam. So spot on about the bad advice, there are lots of people on youtube giving very bad advice, when I came back to my beatmaking with the idea of learning again and/or learning anything I didnt prior, working out any corners I may have been cutting etc, I noticed just how much nonsense was out there from bad actors with mpcs and lots of words, and tbh I almost fell for some of it myself. Thanks for the video Tony 🔥

The example of the vocal coach not wanting the student to surpass their own success is a good one. Robert Greene has a great chapter about envy in his book Laws of Human Nature. Envy is one of the most destructive emotions because it's invisible . Clouded by sentimentality and insidious, it's the thing I wish I'd looked out for and guarded against most in the past.

Just getting started! 🔥 👊 🧡 👍 🔥 Edit: it is one of those things I find, that advice... You have the saying "take it with a grain of salt" Vetting information is a great way to go about it. Like gear purchases I have had in the past... Looked into a lot of opinions and advice from many sources. There is a time to also turn it off and make your way and experience things first hand. No one wants to reinvent the wheel however, you could have a herd of people run for the edge of a CLIFF and jump off... However you can choose not to follow and do yourself a favour and refuse to make the same choice. Lol... advice seems to be aplenty on KZbin. Choose your time wisely... That is my advice 😉

I think a lot of the commercial polished stuff loses some charm. I seem to gravitate more to the raw more creative side of things like Madlib and the late great J DILLA as prime examples. They use limited gear and can crank out creative compelling art. Sometimes that commercial sound seems more corporate and commercial to my ears but there is still a lot of talent out there regardless and each to their own I suppose.

I make at least one beat per day, that’s mixed mastered and polished to around -6.5 LUFS very clear and no distortion….those beats sit in my computer and then once in a blue moon a beat I make inspires me to write a song (rap) and put words in it to where I have two COMPLETE songs per year probably….thats just how I do it.

thanks for the book recommendations. a couple in return that you may not have read, the first i was turned onto it in my mid-late twenties and it pretty much set me up for how i understand the artistic process. The Book; Experiment in Depth: A Study of the Work of Jung, Eliot and Toynbee by P. W. Martin (1955). if you can get the edition of The Tibetan Book of the Dead with the Foreword by Jung the foreword is excellent as a psychological and anthropological analysis of Buddhism. i was getting bored by whatever the youtube algorithm was pushing me and when this has happened before i've got some respite from picking a vlogger channel that i follow and ordering the videos "Oldest First".

Very related - You should listen to 'Soft' by Lemon Jelly from 2003 that I think was only ever released on 7". A year or so later I was heading towards an inevitable relationship breakup that both parties were doing our best to ignore. We were travelling down the escalator into the London Underground system where at the bottom a busker was in the tunnels playing his acoustic guitar and singing the chorus from *that* Chicago song. A heartbreakingly perfect moment.
