that sweater is dope! Haha - can defo relate to the subject of the video too, I watch a lot of vids by Conductor Williams and Kenny Beats and they talk about similar subjects, productivity, motivation, all that kinda stuff. I guess that prioritising the monetization and predicted earnings from making music can take a lot of the fun out of the creative process, but at the same time hard work always pays off, so major credit to anyone who is able to make a full-time living from doing music, or any other creative pursuit.

I think you're actually at a great time in your career and you're just looking at it all wrong. You have 700k monthly listeners from not giving 100%. You're literally able to maintain a steady fan base and you don't have to bust your ass. That's a God send dude. So many people out here are hustling just to get 100k. You have built a solid fan base that loves your stuff. You don't realize it but young you in the garage dreamed this up and its all been fulfilled.

Bro this is really the most relatable video I've watched in a while. Very much feel that cycle of going hard, getting close to a breakthrough but then falling off due to feeling burnt out or just life in general. Like you, I'm not the most ambitious person, don't really care for social media or making content but I know if you want to get anywhere in music these days it's a must. Through all the ups and downs I still feel like there's nothing I want more in life than to make music and sustain myself from it. Just seeing you be transparent about your struggles even after finding success gives me hope on my own journey. Just gotta keep pushing. Preciate you and your content fam!

Definitely feel this bro. I think the lesson to learn here (from what I can observe) is you did it already, you made it. You have a roof over your head, nice things, nice car, etc. something that is WAY too normalized in society is “grind culture” and it’s painfully embedded into music culture (producer culture more specifically). You aren’t a bad person for not wanting to grind, you aren’t a bad person for wanting to relax and have a healthy balance of work to relaxation. Humans were not meant to work as much as we do in the modern era (40+ hours a week). Historically, even peasants worked less than 40 hours a day 🤣 the era we’re in is one of the most extreme we’ve seen in terms of work and output. You have the right idea, LIFE first, work after. Keep creating without expectations, keep prioritizing life, much love 🫶

This is so relevant to me right now. The opening was a perfect example, too, lol. I will say this cycle highlights something important and that's margin. Learning to pace yourself and be realistic with what you can and can't do in a given amount of time and make sure you have times during the week to relax and take a break from grinding. I admit this is extremly hard to do if you are ambitious. I tend to set goals way too high for myself and not be realistic with what I can produce with the time I have without burning out.

I really appreciate this video, I've been struggling with depression for a while, with my drive to continue with producing being at an all time low since I'm also working a minimum wage job. Everyone suggests taking a break, although I don't find entertainment in much of anything besides music which makes it WAY harder to do so. Just went to my first underground show this last weekend to watch a rapper buddy of mines set with my beats, and while the mix seemed fine, the crowd (although small) was enjoying it, I wasn't happy with myself for whatever reason. Finally, my downloads were deleted last night meaning many of my projects using samples or interpolations of my own work have been ripped leaving just drums and vocals. All in all I apologize for this rant and thankyou L.Dre.

I was a surgeons' assistant for many years. I've been retired for about 4 years now. Every now and then I feel like my life has no meaning. Friends remind me that I have saved THOUSANDS OF LIVES and have trained hundreds of future doctors and surgeons that will help save many more lives. You can take your time doing what you do.

When I was pursuing the artist career path, I remember constantly feeling this EXACT cycle of burnout. Recently swapped out to composing for media and I realized that I felt so burnt out because I was climbing a mountain that I thought I should climb instead of a mountain that brought me joy no matter what part of the journey I was on. I also came to peace with my pace only when I found something where the entire process (highs and lows) was. "enjoyable" or that I felt was fulfilling. I dunno if you have the same feelings but that's been my experience! Also you do not have to grind 24/7 like others said. I think that's so normalized in today's culture. I think maybe you just started enjoying your irl life even more and that's so wonderful! Props to you.

Hey L.Dre - You’re dope, man. An inspiration to many of us, I think largely due to how relatable you are in terms of your love for music as well as the challenges you face/overcome. I feel like the stuff you ranted about in this video are things your community has also experienced and thought about to some degree; being a creative, along the self-criticism and doubts that follow. I recently heard some advice that I believe would be applicable here: Whatever advice you’d give to someone else in your same position is the one that you should follow. You’re clearly introspective and have a high EQ - trust your gut and push forward, I know as long as you do that, whatever you define as success, you will achieve. I believe in you brother.

Since then I’ve been on track of releasing every month but feeling lost, defeated and in the depths of grief. Kicking myself for not producing more content or having my brand together or posting consistently. Having little moments of success that help to spur me on but mostly just a bunch of L’s that remind me I’m in it for the long haul. Now I’m in a place where I’m trying to remember why I’m doing this in the first place, because I love making music and that’s a part of me that will never go.
