You could, just try it out lol

[@nzvplc]

you can

[@manasez2548]

Literally anyone can do this especially today, it’s just intimidating because usually people are so worried ab sounding as good as the big artists. It’s also hard to learn everything, but nothing good in life is easy. Truth is you can make something even better than like drake in your bedroom with just a mic and a laptop, stay grinding and never stop learning bro ! You got it

I like how everyone doesn't talk bad things about him. I am proud of him as an Ethiopian. Aminé who is half Ethiopian and half Eritrean, His respect and Discipline is a true reflection of Ethiopian/Eritrean Upringing. (Positive Vibes)

[@ebenezeramare1]

Wait, I thought his friends were just Ethiopian, HE ONE OF US? Never been so happy!

[@HeJaJo]

12:03 “everything should be addictive” that is the most accurate way to describe his music, it’s addictive and infectious.

[@simonpope2966]

Whoever was supposed to be censoring this video definitely got fired lol

[@vex19]

Probably halfway through the video.

[@EdEddnEddyMercury]

I think that youtube only scans the first few minutes or so of a video for explicit language so they only need to censor the first few minutes to get the video monetized

[@zeberek.mp3]

it's really admirable to see how involved he is in the process

I wanna know who produced this video because it seems slap dash. You bleeped some swear words but left in others and the n-word. You played Aminé's voice when he mentioned AJ Tracey.

[@juliad.2812]

And the end was so abrupt. Lol it’s like they uploaded before it was finished. Aminé is phenomenal so this was still fantastic.

[@joe_lucid00]

@@juliad.2812 abrupt endings are better for watchtime stats

[@joe_lucid00]

@hugo 🇲🇽 people tend to click off of a video at the end if there are a lot of video plugs and buttons, especially if there's no talking. So you can gain a few seconds of watch time (ratio wise) by cutting your ending short or integrating the conclusion into those buttons.
