"..If you had 60 conversations today, thats 60 chances to be invited to something that could enrich your life.." That really puts it into perspective what you could be missing out on, financially, socially, emotionally, creatively

[@MrAPBlak]

Fav quote

[@Alchemy77]

The fact that this had 60 likes before i liked it lmao

[@Officialerikledezma]

The thing is, Everyone wants to “make it” but they’re not willing to put up any money. It’s like any business, it has an overhead. Stop shooting music videos in an alley with your android. Stop dropping music recorded on a $20 mic. Start INVESTING YOUR BREAD IN QUALITY. Work in perfecting your craft & learn everything you can about marketing. Create brand equity & then use that as leverage. Go get it .

[@k.p.bolden7329]

Too many of us like to pay for music gear more than twice versus investing into quality gear. You get what you pay for. ✊🏿

[@CrackaLackTV]

Holy shit you interviewed Ryan Leslie. Props 🙌

[@1shotmactv]

I said the same thing! Ryan Leslie is an inspiration.

[@anthonywahome20]

Reminds me of Nipsey Hussle

[@DreadPitt]

Probably one of the most articulate producers/artists out there. Solid gold.

[@dmantrelz1293]

They laughed at me when I was in the uber and I explained the bogus concept of Self made and Independent False Narrative. This is refreshing to hear, thanks Ryan for enlightening this topic...

[@andrecato2261]

Ur right..ive tried to make this argument.

[@unaccompaniedminds]

Need more interviews like this where it's just a chill casual conversation about music that doesnt seem like an "interview" but just a conversation that happened naturally.

[@chris-tb6lu]

The best artist interview I have ever seen. You allowed him to speak on the points you wanted to touch on and he gave incredible answers. Very much appreciated. Also subbed.

[@BrandmanNetwork]

Wow. Really appreciate that.

[@chris-tb6lu]

@@BrandmanNetwork For sure, have a solid day man.

[@darrellking7831]

He let the person being interviewed tell their story without leading the conversation, and constantly interrupting him. Other interviews should take notes.

[@Nathiofficial]

You out here bringing value to us artists, thank you!

[@BrandmanNetwork]

I was showing a friend some videos of R.Les making beats back in the day, and I'm glad I saw this interview play in the "up next" section. This was incredibly dope. I feel I have a better perspective on approaching my music and content in general. Thanks for sharing.

[@88Doug]

Man that is good stuff! Thank you!

[@thisisbemabu]

I'm Glad i stumbled on this ONE.

[@BeatsBangcomtv]

Excellent interview fam! I don’t understand how more artist aren’t interested in this technology. It’s definitely disruptive and groundbreaking. I wonder if this put a target on his back in the industry, because he’s basically showing the slaves/artist how to get free.

[@MichaelEBeard]

This is a very informative video with great transparency from the artist/creator. Thanks for sharing.

[@shahabrehmani8801]
