For Creatives Who Feel Lost

[@fethionurnaldemir5733]

He is not a lazy KZbinr. Most of them sitting in there Office And talking to the camera

[@samyankie02]

Bros the most under-rated creative on YT!

[@kanej0rdan]

So true

[@Osmaniac]

He s going places, that s for sure!

[@sugarbycukia]

right!?

[@1mBrilliant]

Facts

[@abmradio]

I wouldn’t say all that, he’s good though borrowing a lot of video concepts from other more popular KZbinrs

[@NiklasChristl]

One of the best videos I‘ve seen in a long time. Well done man! 💯

[@SuriA3]

You’re a big inspiration aswell bro!

[@Saidhouti_Selfdevelopment]

i watched this video based on your advice in Instagram. it is soo good

[@dir-gk]

Holy shit its Nik.

[@kdleifert]

Absolutely second that!

[@arofawaz]

The way you maintained the same levels of sound quality is insane fr

[@yanick.andrade]

I am a 31-year-old dude trying to start my KZbin channel! Do I know what I doing? Hell no! Do I compare myself with other people? All the time! But I'm trying to stay true to myself and do things my way. To make things worse, English is not my first language but we only fail when we stop trying. See you guys there.

[@jahson7409]

I don’t even know you but I’m proud of you bro 🥲 I’ll see you at the top.

[@henrikvlogs]

karl. im 18 years old now. been watching creative youtubers for my entire life now. this is hands down the best video i’ve seen on this platform. thanks.

[@jotaeli6119]

In the same boat as you, brother. I wish the best success to your career

[@KyRoGyRo]

i watch the video twice , 1st for the information, 2nd time to admire the absolute beauty of this man’s creativity

[@ronjaxn]

your editing and style is actually insane. Its like a combination of all of the best creatives on yotuube mixed into one, then you throw in your own genuine authentic energy and style. I watch A LOT of youtube channels, and you are the most impressive ive seen.

[@safian_patrik]

It was a REAL advice for me. I have been lost completely, so I just want to thank you.

[@SeeYouOutsideShow]

Karl you should have a million followers. This channel is always gold.

[@KarlShakur]

Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou Kat. You’ve seen the whole journey

[@lucaso1579]

I lost $40 my mom gave me to buy groceries and you posted this. After seeing this and talking to my mom I’m gonna take it easy in life. I’m going to stop comparing and start creating, ty brother Ty ty Ty happy birthday and wish you nothing but success

[@pattywallace5618]

finding this before my 21st birthday feels like serendipity :)) thank you!!!

[@TuckerDoss]

You are too good man it’s truly insane how much work you put into this

[@lucapeto]

Man, oh man, I know it's tough but, it would be so good to see you here more often. These videos are seriously like a breath of fresh air of creativity that gets me pumped up again. Thanks for that. Keep hitting that upload button!

[@KaylaCarlileArt]

Dude you might be my new FAVORITE KZbinr. Just discovered you from this video and I’m already obsessed with your style

[@AutismoGamer]

We're ahead of ourselves. Not enough people are willing to step out of their confort zone to be vulnerable around those they're supposed to be trusting.

[@anmolmishra4166]

Karl wtf. nah like wtaf??!! the transitions paired with the maintenance of sound quality ohmylorddd. SO GOOD.

[@nanaluthuli7462]

The editing is also insane. You need more recognition, this was amazing 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@ByOyindamola]

This video means a lot to me. Me who has just moved to a new country, lost and wondering how to pave my own way. Wondering how to channel my creativity. Thank you

[@iamjuozas]

Man, you hit it on point every time. From creativity to storytelling to the vibes you give off - pure joy to watch and learn from you. Much appreciation!!!

[@rachitvayeda6655]

You have no idea how greatly you have timed this video for me. I was so angry with myself because I was the only one who couldn't figure out my future in my friends group and I was so frustrated and lost, and this video came and it helped me with my own thoughts. Thank you so much for this and keep creating.

[@george_edward_]

transitions as always are impeccable. The handwriting to inverted scanned handwriting at 0:56 was tooooo clean

[@HillYT]

I love how cinematic your videos are, the typography is beautiful, the audio, holy man this shit is beautiful. Thank you for making these videos bro, you're genuinely an amazing person.

[@MitchFrickingClark]

It's videos like these that always spark that insane inspiration that makes me restless. Love it!

[@KarlShakur]

That alone is the reason why I do this

[@thespeedlife]

Your videos are not a breath of fresh air. They're a mountain filled with the purest oxygen there is. Karl, truly thank you for being who you are and inspiring others. Blessed.

[@felynnsoleil]

Man, I just want to sit and watch you edit... Your style is so amazing and the flow is insane. The way you edit is like a song, perfect dynamics and levels with so much character, purpose and intention. Know editing is a journey, but wow, I’m truly inspired!

[@m.s6340]

Karl i dont think you understand how amazing this video was especially for this era, this was a once in a lifetime gem

[@yallcrazyfool]

Damn Karl, I never take the time to comment on YT vids but the craft, design and soul you put into this is so clear and holds so much more inspiration than anything else i've seen in a long time, Thank you

[@uhuruplaatjies1700]

I’m back under another vid. Thank you. I don’t think you understand how helpful this is. I’m 30 in 2 weeks and this is exactly what I needed to watch!

[@ShirenaGonzalez]

THANK YOU for creating this and sharing it. I'm 33 and I feel perpetually stuck, but this made me feel more at ease. Also, beautiful transitions and audio!

[@maikdmann]

I love videos where you watch the whole video and the very best, the small emotion push or the most motivation you get is where all ends and you know: that was worth watching. Thank you man!

[@alanross6827]

this is exactly how I feel. Already been doing 1-2 for a couple of years now, 3 is the hardest for me. Great work, inspiring.💯

[@ziaurrehman7082]

Thank God I found you... After a lot of hard work ..I think, now my hard work paid off ..I just love u❤

[@MalickThiam]

Following you over the past 4 years has been such a roadmap for me. I'm graduating College in may and it's incredible to get the raw look at what your journey looked like after graduation. These insights into early Karl are my absolute favorite :)

[@29dj17]

This man is a 4xqin legend. I'm 37 and learning so much from this incredible mind. If you ever catch me posing super dope DJ videos soon, Karl Shakur is part of my process. Thank you sir.

[@kaywayneflor89]

In your 20's & 30's you think everyone is watching, in your 40's you don't care if they're watching, in your 50's you realize no one was paying attention. As you said you are exactly were you should be, enjoy!

[@dagiz2057]

Dammm, this is what I was looking for. Thank you, Karl.🤗

[@KarlShakur]

Glad it struck a cord with you. I’ve been trying to make stuff that feels more true to me recently

[@dagiz2057]

​@@KarlShakur That's awesome to hear! Keep Shining🎆

[@Joshs_Journey]

For real Karl, you make me feel grounded and inspired after every single video I watch from you. I can't put it into words but you help me feel like I'm on the right track in my creative endeavor that I choose for my life. That means sooo much to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤

[@BaggieVFX]

I may be 3 months late but words cannot express how badly I needed to hear this from someone. Thank you for this

[@colfax.]

bro i was legit laying on the couch cuz i had a late night, thinking a nap was about to take place. now im gassed at my laptop juices flowing. you’re the goat no tux

[@ameeryarbrough8137]

This video made me angry, jealous, envious, excited, inspired and lost. That was amazing. Hope to find that driving force again that landed me my film scholarship a decade ago…fuck

[@dylan.grogan]

This left me with chills, I love that this video exists. Extremely relieved and inspired simultaneously. Thank you🙏🏻

[@KarlShakur]

Thankyou Thankyou. Means so much

[@WizHH]

Bro, I swear to God that you are greatly aiding me with that 10-minute video! Thank u🙏🏽

[@jannikwlnd]

every time i watch your videos i just feel understood and know that i am at the right point here and now. So so motivating and inspiring!!

[@shalinikumar4580]

I am so grateful to have found you because this video was the inspiration I needed to get out of my current rut - I appreciate you!

[@cre_in_kc]

Sending this video to those I care about. The story telling has a way of changing someone’s mindset and empowering growth. Thank you for marking this!

[@avisalunke10]

the editing style just reminded me of "POOR THINGS" absolutely love the way you tweak it to your style and flavor... one word "AWESOME"

[@becahecka]

i also just turned 30 and definitely needed this right now. HECK YA THANK YOU!!

[@mubashirkodvavi]

Best vid ive seen in a long while. Truly inspiring!

[@Joshua-h1l8i]

One way to switch from passively watching and learning is to make 2 KZbin accounts, in fact this is my second account I use to learn things from. This works as it puts a divide in the mind and your recommendations show learning content.

[@VirgilTheCreative]

Karl, bro I have appreciated your creativity for years💯💯the engagement and the constant learning is always next level💯✌🏽

[@danieljosebenjumeasilva9093]

You are one of the few creators that i really enjoy to watch, keep the hard work, you are inspiring all of us, helping us stay true to ourselves.

[@ArpanKunduVlogs]

Guys, I don’t know how many of you will relate to this but I feel a sense of pride. Every time I see a Karl’s new video because that will be my low-key flex down the line one year or two years later when this guy blasts on KZbin that I been being watching him Since 50K till now….

[@KarlShakur]

Ooooooof. This is such an ego booster. Thankyou so much man. I have some really bad videos back in 2018. Feels like I’ve already come some way

[@Lordeandjt]

I don’t know how much of KZbin comments you see more than your Instagram, but I just wanted to let you know that I’ve been following you since 2019. I’ve always appreciated your willingness & openness to help other creatives from all walks of life. Personally, one of my favorite videos of yours and it holds a lot of key Gems and substance. Keep on creating brother & I pray that continue to stay blessed & that you continue to prosper in all areas King!!

[@luis.mendozae]

This has been probably my favorite creative video of all time... can't like it more.

[@natarapssweetheart]

I’m going to be 30 years old this year & pursuing music. I stopped because of imposter syndrome but this motivated me a lot. Thank you so much!

[@teopizarro1418]

This was freaking AMAZING. I was just looking for "filmmaking mindset" on the internet bc i'm struggling with my filmmaking job right now i'm not feeling as creative as i'd like to but this gave me such a mindset, creativiity, enterteinment dose that i think tomorrow is going to be completely different. So thanks so much for putting that effort on this video and showing what we really need to hear. Keep going

[@declanjenkinson]

You're honestly the biggest inspiration in the creative industry keep doing what you're doing man

[@ChristianSchaffer]

Admire you big time, Karl. Happy three-oh! 🥳

[@Harveydagoose]

i hope every creator sees this video. this really helped me alot. thank you :)

[@rvphis]

Ok............. I almost cry at this ending, I felt hugged

[@Avocadosimp]

Authenticity is key!!! 🎉

[@Steuerbrezel-ef7gh]

Awesome video 🔥 Having a routine is important just as having discipline. Without discipline, difficult times will pull the rug under your legs. Besides that how do you choose your B-Roll in relation to your story? Its near to flawless 👌

[@bigbossgama1]

this video is probably the best thing i could have saw after my birthday. Thank you Karl.

[@mockajou]

you are an under rated legend brother , true inspiration . im 22yo and as lost as a young man could be , but this video helped alot thanks man

[@haroonalshami5587]

I needed this after my surgery, i felt i was left behind and everyone is progressing and it only created negative thoughts

[@natha9412]

You actually made me cry with this video, I just turned 20 a week ago, and i totally understand this. Keep it up bro, thank you for putting all the love in this video ❤️

[@davidgyorvary8010]

That cut at Taking Risks is beyond insane. Great video!

[@SnapsByChris]

You don't understand how much I needed to hear/see this today. Thank you

[@ANAKEMAEU]

I never really comment on video’s I watch, but for this one I really had to make an exception. I really needed this video and I need to thank you for that. This felt so related and gave me motivation and peace.

[@BlackCabinet]

Thank you for this video. Exactly what I needed in this period of time. Keep it up!

[@anniespence4988]

I have been struggling with storytelling through videos. I can do it in my journaling but translating to video….I am lost. This is just my second video of yours that I have watched and I already feel like you have shown/told me enough in just those two videos of how to get started. Thank you! 👍🏾

[@nikimeow415]

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN! Bro, tomorrow is my birthday, I realized a lot of things while trying to rise from the bottom and went to save myself by learning new techniques in editing, and the second video that I opened is this very video. This is just such a springboard, there are no words. You are wonderful! I wish all your dreams come true!)

[@SonnieOutside]

Is someone cutting onions??.. your storytelling and the emotional rollercoaster you took us through in this single video had me laughing and crying at the same damn time! Thanks for the reassuring message brother.. love.

[@josebostani]

wow man, this is a great video. I'm 29 and turning 30 this year and I feel I'm still starting my journey

[@littlejamesJC]

*The amount of envy I feel wacthing trought this video is gruesome. This guy edits like a genius.*

[@xyz123-t5v]

Watching This on my 25th birthday. Like this to remind me 5 years down that I decided to follow my dreams

[@jaywhitebk]

Karl, I had to watch this video twice to get the message because I got caught up in how visually pleasing it is. Thanks for sharing your journey. Love your work. ❤

[@KarlShakur]

Glad you enjoyed it. Always have so much fun pumping thoughts behind the visuals

[@mu.castro]

The king of storytelling. Very well done man, im enjoying watching you.

[@visi096]

Bro I was looking at this video and I was thinking. Why the f I didn't knew this guy before... Amazing video bro🤘🏽

[@vickomen333]

Thanks Shakur. This is exactly what I needed right now, especially having just had my birthday recently.

[@EricBartolo]

this is INSANE and could not have uplaoded at a better time. Going through the exact same struggles with social media and I also hate birthdays.

[@stimsonphoto]

This is the first video that I've watched in a very long time, where I've almost felt obligated to leave a comment it was so good. Karl, you're an inspiration to say the least. Thanks for being you and happy birthday brotha

[@TransformedbyO]

The attention to detail in this video was incredible! I was hooked and didn't want it to end. Well done! 👏🏽

[@deniseandrews6056]

My favorite photographer. You motivate me in every way!

[@gbaker328]

Thank you Karl, I can't tell you how much I needed to hear this - especially from someone I admire and who's work I adore

[@KarlShakur]

You are so welcome.always a pleasure sharing my perspective. i'm just happy i have a place to share my thoughts

[@aghewisdom8994]

The ordinary feels extraordinary when it comes to you. I actually needed this video with the way I was beginning to feel. ❤

[@PrettyOkayPat]

wow I am going through a very similar thing with turning 30 so I really appreciate this video!

[@ryandmaal]

I'm retired, but it is refreshing to watch...but I'm picking up to be creative again!

[@pablogrenfell7919]

10k views ?? SHAME ON THE ALGORITHM , worth millions , definitely inspiring , keep it up Karl

[@shxxtyman]

Your videos for me like therapy. Thank you so much❤

[@chris_evlo]

Your story telling is unmatched, please keep doing these

[@KarlShakur]

Will Keep doing them to the best of my ability

[@eronhoxha5000]

[@Sunbeamer-d6l]

yesterday, I was feeling lonely, and a little melt by the work and no rewarding, but thank to your video I switch my mindset, and get back my inner fire. i go make beats and design, have the good day.

[@BenjiSelby]

Brooo I’ve been having some of the same feelings! I turn 30 in October and it’s like where the heck did my 20s go, but it’s dope to have a moment to reflect on it and see what the next decade can bring

[@Rafe.camerone]

one of the best videos on the net

[@KarlShakur]

really appreciate the love

[@jeremyneal4357]

I love the color grading on this! You’re not afraid to cut between two shots that have different temperatures within the same scene. Super inspiring editing and story overall 🫡
