Why I Don't Do Extensions Anymore...

[@ChristianAKAGE]

Since people keep asking what’s the background music here it is: christianakage.bandcamp.com/track/forgive-me-i-didnt-mean-too

[@seanrobinson3524]

Honestly, I really appreciate you explaining " Why you don't do extensions anymore". I would often wonder those exact questions myself. Even though I understand why you stopped; I did enjoy the extensions. Basically, when I discovered your channel it instantly became therapeutic for me (since I suffered a multiple stroke back in 1/13/2016). I just wanted to thank you for allowing me to access certain "beats".

[@ChristianAKAGE]

Wow. I’m sorry to hear that. I’m praying that you recovered okay! As far as the music goes man I hear you 100% and I appreciate the kind words. I just don’t want people to get the wrong idea about the channel, I don’t mind doing extensions (to a certain extent) but we gotta be aware that this isn’t my music. So there’s always a risk of somebody taking it down for God knows why. Hopefully people start realizing that I’m not trying to profit off of them and know that I’m only doing this because the subscribers wanted it…

[@B-Ball92]

Appreciate you for your hard work to create these musical gems... Praying you can recover from ALL of this and come back stronger than ever!!! 💪🏾🙏🏾👍🏾

[@ChristianAKAGE]

Yessir! Thank you for the prayers! This isn’t something that will hold me back, I just want people to understand that I would do extensions but that severely jeopardizes my channel smh

[@obasigreen828]

Respect. I appreciate all the extensions you provided us throughout the years, best wishes and God Bless🙏🏾

[@ChristianAKAGE]

You don’t gotta thank me. Thank yourself for showing support. The only reason why I did do it.

[@j.n924]

Been following you for years, much respect for your work. Thanks for the video I can see how this has irritated you. Keep pumping out your own music bro👍

[@ChristianAKAGE]

I will, I’ll probably do more extensions in the future, I just hope that when that time comes I won’t get targeted as someone who’s trying to “Gain” anything. I’m just trying to be that one channel that has nothing but good beats lol

[@curtisjackson6378]

I will forever be a fan

[@EasternWindTV]

Respect brotha. Thank you for the time you’ve taken to do these joints.

[@ChristianAKAGE]

And thank you for being a real one! 🫡

[@legacyrus_fit7505]

Respect G! I still appreciate a couple of extended beats you did for me a while back! Thank you 👊🏾💯

[@ChristianAKAGE]

No worries maybe after these 3 months when the strike goes away I can get back to doing it. Not trying to get paid off of this just mainly doing it for the love.

[@skillarecords]

Crazy I thought about asking you a few Months ago how do you know if they will Strike your video or not if the Beat isn't yours I didn't know this had happened to you I think I have 2 strikes

[@ChristianAKAGE]

2 Strikes? Yeah you have got to be careful, because YT does not play that smh. The only way that I see people getting around that is basically if you're well known. Otherwise, there would be no point in fighting for your channel. I fought for my channel too many times, and thankfully I was able to retain it because of communication from people that actually tried taking down my channel, that ended up being cool and was able to contact back and forth, Unlike YT Support (which I heard was horrible...) There are 2 possibilities of what will happen with KZbin if you're using music that's not yours (well at least from what I experienced) 1. They will send you an email saying that there is a (Copyright Claim). If you know your channel isn't going to be monetized, then this is preferred because all they're saying is that the creator (or the company they're with) is claiming any monetization over the video, in other words they're getting paid and you ain't lol. I get this way too many times lol 2. They will send you an email saying someone has (Copyright Strike) your video, and as you know in baseball, 3 strikes and you're out. This lasts for 90 days. So normally what I would do is not post until the 90 days are up, which is unfair especially if you're monetized smh. I hope this helped and feel free to ask any more questions.

[@skillarecords]

@@ChristianAKAGE I think it was like you said they weren't in a row so they went away but I can still see on the videos where it happened it was weird one happened on a video that had been up for years and the producer just noticed it like last year

[@Lumimind]

Knx striking lot of videos yeah

[@ChristianAKAGE]

Unfortunately yeah. I’m not even mad at him for doing so as it is his work. Just wish it could’ve been handled more maturely, if that makes sense.

[@Lumimind]

@@ChristianAKAGEits his work yeah but you dont gain money on it so...

[@ChristianAKAGE]

Exactly lol. And I never will. This channel won’t ever be monetized. So anything that I do or will do is clearly for the love of music

[@stephonewhite9999]

What’s the name of the background music? I know that’s Donell jones

[@curtisjackson6378]

You know that I love you

[@ChristianAKAGE]

I made the beat when I first started making beats… check the pinned comment.

[@starstuddedstatustv]

Do you have a version of this song playing in the background of this video anywhere? Dope vibe

[@ChristianAKAGE]

Yeah it’s an old beat that I made when I first started making beats. Check the pinned comment.

[@Final2inja]

Which specific loop plays in the background of the video? Shit is ethereal 😮‍💨🔥

[@ChristianAKAGE]

Check the pinned comment.

[@Final2inja]

@ Thanks for putting me on, kept replaying ur vid just so I could hear it lmao 💀🤦🏾‍♂️

[@ChristianAKAGE]

@@Final2inja Aye no worries, just appreciate the fact that you like my old work lol, much respect!

[@SHAKA-NEU-LU]

I’ve downloaded a lot of your extensions. The funny thing is, we giving these guys light. I didn’t think KNX would actually do some bs like that. It’s like , content creators gotta be careful Cuz other ppl and celebrities be cloud listening

[@ChristianAKAGE]

Preach! That’s all I’m saying, because no way we as extenders should be treated like this. I understand unreleased music for sure but I don’t understand why they think we would gain anything from this. Nobody is rapping over this or making a music video. Just music just to kick back and enjoy. I’ve always said that they need to stop being like that because to be real thanks to some of the subscribers on this channel, they would be stupid to think that they don’t get more support now because of some of the requests they want smh.

[@SHAKA-NEU-LU]

@ It’s big headed & greed

[@SHAKA-NEU-LU]

@ As a matter of fact, I got ahold of Stu Bangas to use the beat that he did for Hus Kingpin “sunkissed”. I found the extended instrumental on that, got a hold of him, and he says “I don’t care”. Now that’s some kool shit

[@ChristianAKAGE]

@@SHAKA-NEU-LU Because some people know that, if others like them and want to give them exposure for free, then why not lol. Some people don't think, could be going back to strike them too smh

[@TheProphetLot]

Do you know the name of the music in the background? Thanks for all the work you put in man.

[@curtisjackson6378]

You know that I love you

[@michaelallen8112]

We get that it there stuff in terms creation wise but they don't think about ideas like extension as well u getting their music out getting new fans support. Just thinking faulty uncalled for. U not selling the music & getting paid for it. U actually doin free promo for them actually. Just shows they not good at promoting there own music. We the crate digger are doing it

[@ChristianAKAGE]

This was my main point! I couldn’t possibly said it better than this! Yeah that’s all it is fr fr, just trying to promote, not steal. I know Devin is grateful but these other people man idk… I would be proud if I saw someone use my work for anything because I don’t care lol just credit my name and we cool. But some people don’t look at it like an opportunity unfortunately which could be a downfall.
