He actually listened and made the video. Thanks man. It really helped me.

[@creativemindsyoutube]

Hey, thanks for your original comment, and sharing your thoughts and ideas. Really glad you enjoyed the piece.

[@bennapple]

Thank you. You’re doing a great job. It feels good to be listened. 👏👏👏

[@I_Bully_The_Bullies]

Your BOTH, are AMAZINGLY MADE SOULS OF SHINY ✨ POSITIVITY. I have a unique talent, something that. NOT 1 PERSON, could copy, imitate, reproduce, or mimic. I’m looking for other like minded souls. That want to create a DIFFERENT level of music. 🫵🏽🫵🏽🫵🏽🤗🤗🤗👋🏽🙏🏽🫡

[@creativemindsyoutube]

@@bennapple Glad you picked this up BEnn, appreciate the original comment and yeah, good to see you saw this one ✌

[@bennapple]

@@creativemindsyoutube I try to not miss your vids. I always learn something. What you said in the video is totally true. As a professional artist I kind of always struggle between being honest and sincere with my art and not listen the hype, the algorithm etc, and the fact that I have to pay my rent. That’s why it’s so difficult (specially right now cause I try to make my first solo album) and that’s why I get lost and can’t produce a thing. Your work confort me to produce what I really feel, hear and need. Later will to the time to promote and find my audience. So thank you

Struggling to hand draw unique rock formations was a crazy example

[@creativemindsyoutube]

Lol, cheers, Yeah I have a friend who loves drawing and does game design stuff and he was talking about all the processes to me last week, so popped into my head.

[@kibanart301]

I am starting to practice concept design and unexpectedly, rocks (rock formations), the most common element on earth, is one of the most complex thing to draw.

[@Veriss_Truest1]

I know you mentioned something about not waiting for the perfect conditions at the end, but this video came at a perfect time in my life. I was just saying how I wasn't going to make music for the rest of the year because I am not feeling very creative as of late. I guess I have the mentality of wanting everything right now instead of taking my time and letting the art play out. Not everybody can be an NBA Youngboy and release albums every. I will definitely meditate on what I heard in this video. Stepping out of my comfort zone further is a must. I learned that I have a true artistic mind because I think quite similarly to the legends covered in this video. Sometimes it just feels good to hear someone tell you. When I do choose to make music again, I'm going to come back new and improved!

[@creativemindsyoutube]

Thanks for taking the time to drop a bit of your story in here. Really appreciate the sharing, and looking at the likes, seems that there are plenty of people who connect with what you're saying.

[@Dytanious]

Beautiful video and it's so well written. Thank you for this slight push in my creative career.

[@JayShead]

Discovered this video just now and it's great timing. I've been struggling to be passionate with music since finishing a uni course on music, definitely an environment where your values are manipulated with ideas how your music should sound if you want to make money. I don't know if I'll get it back, but this gives me hope, so thanks :)

[@THK4LIFE]

Your videos help me re-focus before I record. Thank you

[@youcantbeatk7006]

Something a lot of people don't seem to forget about producing art is that sometimes you enjoy the process and sometimes you enjoy the finish product and you have to treat those situations very differently. Like I enjoy the process of making music and the finished product but with drawing I only enjoy the finished product but I hate the process so I have to force myself much harder to draw.

[@patrickrutkowski4989]

This video is awesome. This is very eye-opening and inspirational. I hope to reach any type of creative drive similar to that of danny or mac one day.

[@1nxxko]

Dope video essay

[@sapienchurch]

I really needed this.❤

[@shanobie51]

Needed this, I'm a contemporary artist trying to create a career for myself and this past year I had a bit of success on that front. Not monetarily but through multiple exhibitions. Now however I found my self in strange place where I'm not sure what to create next, honestly I'm not feeling like creating, but I want to get back that "flo" state. Really appreciate the work you do, this video helped.

[@jimmyjurasek4810]

Appreciate this. I can be told these things 1000 times but I feel like these videos better TEACH me those concepts

[@paradoxlust]

Be careful though. If you don't immediately log off and go create then what you can experience is that dopamine hit from resonating with the feeling of the video and by commenting and expressing your thoughts here (as opposed to idk in music) you can get a serotonin hit from a sense of accomplishment from identifying commonalities and expressing yourself in a satisfactory manner, because the latter is what we do with art/music and if you do this a few times you will find yourself in this cycle in order to get your brain to release those chemicals and before too long you'll find your "creative" outlets are watching tons of videos related to what you want to do and then commenting on them. Just saying. Something told me to say it. Maybe my failures as an artist lately idk.

[@lfhip-hop6794]

That was a beautiful video man. Thank you. As someone who has been rapping but rarely hits the mark (admittedly by my own standard) this video really hit home for me. Much appreciated

[@paradoxlust]

Here's a site I was shown. It's like free word you can write save share or not add music etc. Plus for finished pieces there is a dope rhyme analyzer plus people from all over the world to write with. Years ago the random person on there was decent and interested in developing as well. Also like I tell everyone learn 5 albums front to back and you'll have it. Mos Def black on both sides, krs-one I got next, del the funky homosapien both sides of the brain, and outkast aquemini plus one album you pick. Once you can run those through you'll just sort of develop the ability. It's about time and depth of knowledge. Linguistics, grammar, literary devices, rhyme schemes, etc. Good luck

[@jko06]

I am so grateful for this video, its made me rethink my reasons for creating and the way I view "success".

[@maxcrowe]

Thanks for a great video. The word you couldn't decipher at 7:05 is 'Ma'at' - the ancient Egyptian concepts of truth, balance, order, harmony, law, morality and justice. Named after the goddess.

[@NEDACOLANDER]

[@A.Panthera]

@7:04 she says Ma'at. A crucial element to understand.

[@rtd88]

this lowkey really beautiful how we all got a different version of me, all around us

[@shampainpapi8341]

7:05 she's saying "Ma'at" which i beilive is either a north african or middle eastern concept

[@RuanFourieStix]

Again, very cool video. I just wish you would go beyond contemporary rappers to learn from. There are so many other creatives out there, and I feel like there is much to learn outside of the world of contemporary rap. Your Rick Rubin video is a good example of that. But people like Josh Homme, Dave Grohl, Basquiat and many other have also spoken about their creative process and it would be cool to see your take on their way of doing.

[@creativemindsyoutube]

Thanks for letting me know that there's interest for those artists in this community. I will try and include some or all of these voices in a future piece. Really appreciate the feedback, and I'll make sure to respond to it in the future work.

Thank you so much for your work!!! This video has inspireret me regarding Music! __/|\__ And regarding the word Badu said @07:05, that you couldn’t decipher, I’m pretty sure it’s either “Ma’at’” or “Maat”!.. As in “The 42 Ideals of Maat” for more Knowledge! //Peace out (& Justice!)

"Often we find that the place that we got lost, is the time we started running towards the approval systems of others."

[@creativemindsyoutube]

So glad that connected for you Krisp. That line holds truth for me no doubt

[@nashse7en]

creative people feel like wasti8ng time, not reaching full potential and thats ok, you need to put in your mind that whats going to take you to win is the ability of WORKING when you don't have motivation. Motivation is a ILLUSION, it comes and goes, but your mind makes you believe that you need to feel this HOLLY force everyday. NO you can't be inspired like MOZART everyday. Get over yourself, sit down and spit another verse. We are machines that THINK. Make fun of your bad days, your bad music, and TRY again.
