Overview
One of things that’s confused me over the last five years of coaching is seeing how many rappers talk about two specific things:
Fear of Failure
The Dream of “Getting On”
Fear of failure usually manifests itself as thinking that if you don’t have a charting Billboard song or some kind of record deal…
Some kind of music “industry” validation…
…Or that music industry validation even gets more intense when coupled with the dream of “getting on”.
For most rappers, “getting on” means some version of either tons of sales, millions of adoring fans…
May or may not include nice whips like Maybachs…
But basically a bunch of flashy stuff to make them feel like they are officially “lit” or popping.
This thirst for validation usually puts rappers in a tough place emotionally because on a day-to-day basis they are battling their mind for if they’re officially “where they want to be” in relation to other rappers.
Common questions that come up during this phase of a rapper’s development:
When am I going to get more fans? (in other words, I don’t have enough fans)
When will I get the respect I deserve? (in other words, nobody likes my music)
When will I be able to do music full-time? (in other words, when will my music become an actual business I can run)
At this point, the artist may or may not realize that they have hit a wall.
How To Start A Music Career From Nothing: The Wall
This wall has two main parts:
Unless they have some kind of industry “validation” (co-sign), “respect” (acclaim from peers), or “attention” (fans), they will forever feel like their “career”… is a failure
Unless they have some sort of working knowing of how to run their “career” like a business…
They will never be able to do it full-time, or if they do get a windfall of cash… it will be fleeting at best.
Once I began to see these patterns, I quickly realized that I needed to explain the difference to artists between:
1) The Record Industry
2) The Entertainment Business
3) A Music Career
Industry vs. Business vs. Career
1) The Record Industry is a series of multinational corporate conglomerates that contain different money-making enterprises related to music including record labels, streaming companies, etc.
2) The Entertainment Business is a catch-all term for any profitable transactions that occur from promoting and marketing media meant to entertain the public… that can include music, film, TV, video games, and even sports.
3) A Music Career is a sustained, profitable form of employment where the vast majority of your personal income is derived from your expertise in music.
Once you understand this, you can begin to devise a PLAN for how you want to deal with each one of these entities
