EARL SWEATSHIRT - HOW TO SUCCEED CREATIVELY

When Earl talks about what he does, it’s often a lean in moment. Let me know if any of his words connect with you/your art personally. The dumpster fire bit is probably more about life than exclusively music, but it’s a simple analogy that says something I feel myself.
Cheers for all the support for this channel so far, and if you’re here for the journey, consider sharing it with a friend this week, or saying hi below. Peace people, keep making work.

'before he got shipped off' love it. Yeah, he stayed true to it. The guy could have come back and just blown all his stuff up and sold sold sold, but he went for art and longevity - that's a lot to choose for such a young guy. Thanks for adding your piece Abduella.

[@stephenbeyer]

3:12 I love his description of the use of samples here. I've pretty much finished recording/producing my Debut Solo Album and a huge part of it was the creative use of samples. What an awesome tool of expression for music! 🤙

[@jayc512]

This part spoke to my soul

[@stephenbeyer]

@@jayc512 me too!

[@creativemindsyoutube]

He mentions Alchemist and Madlib in a lot of his videos, in terms of how seriously they take sampling. I'm going to do a video on Madlib down the line somewhere, the dude is a musical scientist.

[@stephenbeyer]

@@creativemindsyoutube He really is! "Madvillainy" by Madblib/MF DOOM is one of my favorite Albums. The way these types of artists sample has always been a musical inspiration for me. It's why I worked so hard on this tribute I made for DOOM in this stop motion video last year on my other channel. I think you might like it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJyXcp2Cjcuaaq8

The car analogy was perfect 🔥 That’s why I trust his lyricism whenever he drops 🤲🏾

Sampling is a glimpse of the producers history. These sounds we sample feel familiar only to us and we try to share that sound with the rest of the world.

Peace to you Jess, thanks for supporting, glad you liked the video.

[@lCaKeSl]

Earl's always been at the absolute top of my list of celebrities I'd love to just sit and chat with. Super inspiring how he's stayed so true to himself with his works and hasn't sold out or tried to be more accessible or anything, his creations are always on purpose and have a purpose. Been following him since his Sly Tendencies days, and will be following him until the day one of us dies

[@adri.progression]

thank you for sharing, incredibly helpful perspective, especially "mastery of self". I've been working on that in different categories of my life, especially relating to navigating a new mental health diagnosis different from the previous one, and looking at my own history through a lens of Neurodivergence and giving myself Grace instead of internalizing all of the '-isms' acquired through living in this world. I really appreciate the way this video was presented and the messages it contained, thank you

[@creativemindsyoutube]

Wow Adriana. Really appreciate you sharing that journey and process here. Big-UP-yourself. I'm just working on my next video - looking at Erykah Badu, and she continues to talk about these aspects of art and self, and I'm loving hearing her words about it. Thanks again for sharing and adding to the community here.

[@loveinthematrix]

Love him so much and I remember learning about Vince Staples through him many years ago because he complimented him as a lyricist and really said how amazing he was and I realized how next level he is for being able to honor another like that as such a brilliant artist himself. I truly gained respect for him as a creative knowing that he was in the studio the moment he found out his friend passed and recorded a song with that energy and pain in his heart. That is a true testament to him as an artist.

[@matthewpelzek8473]

I really connect to what he’s saying and I can’t imagine going through that with the spotlight of the internet and media on u. He’s a real warrior

[@Tianainflow]

This video definitely pulled me in it's direction and everything I needed to hear as a creator. So many gems🙌🏾🙌🏾!!! i'm adding it to a playlist for reference. What stuck with me is "Good art is truth and vulnerability" and i will forever remember that when I am creating I have a duty to both truth and vulnerability. What i create will only be as good as how much I allow myself to be expressive, and full of openness

[@creativemindsyoutube]

Yess Tina. You speak truth. It's real, a lot of artists try to follow what other people say in terms of topic and theme, but it's that personal stuff that always feels real and connect with me. Thanks for adding your words to the page here.

[@joziehaze]

damn, that bucket of water quote is really sweet. that resonates with me, being 20, working a 9-5, trying my best to stay afloat and seeing all these horrible things that go on in the world, i DO start to feel apathetic. sometimes even apathetic to the people i love, and the things that should matter. the rest of the stress seems to bring down the value of the few indisputable blessings i have. so dealing with that apathy in a generalized sense, throwing water on the problems of the world when you can, would probably help a lot with keeping in check the way depression creeps in and makes sweet moments sour. the knowledge you do what you can, i guess.

[@creativemindsyoutube]

Shiz Jozie you dropped some truth. Thanks, I enjoyed reading the insight. Glad the quote hit you in that way. Peace and love to you, keep bucketing that water

A hall of famer

[@AJBuddha]

Everybody has a different perspective of what “success” looks like to them. Some people don’t care about popularity & some only care about popularity. Being a great artist is a combination of being an introvert & staying focused on a craft while also getting your music heard by the world & network & make connections with people. My problem is I used to like being around people but over time I’ve realized nobody treats me how I treat them so I feel the average person doesn’t understand my point of view. This is why I make music for myself & by myself cuz it turns out the way I want it to everytime & it doesn’t cost extra for me to record or make beats myself, depending on the day. The greatest artists have a balance of being social and being introverted sometimes I think your relationship with yourself is what matters the most & the fact that you respect yourself as a creator/ source

[@creativemindsyoutube]

Self respect, and loving your own practice whichever way it takes you, that sounds good to me. Thanks for sharing your story and adding to the page here.

Bro when he said "We all got the same resource, which is the world... from how you live your life, to like the music you listening to, I was always too nosy my whole life, I was just always in people's business like that, just like absorbing" I seriously felt that. I feel like Earl and I have very similar brains on some level. Then he said "It's an attractive thing to me brah, like mastery.. of self. That's what I am the most excited about." Bruh I feel that T-T How other people are so lazy about themselves, no self-accountability, they no role model behaviors, no striving to be the best self, be the best human you want to be. Like I'm trying! Hard! I criticize myself so hard and analyze myself so hard, I try to improve myself, do better next time. So am I evil for expecting the same out of others? xD
