    This was a great interview! One life folks...you can try and fail, but keep trying. Other people will hate that you're trying and try to keep you in the same place as they are...don't let that happen. Just keep pushing. You may not become an internationally known person or you may become known in your community, but you won't know if you don't put any action(s) to it. One life, no reset buttons, no extra lives...just this brief moment in time to be the best version of you you can be. Let's hear something and keep getting better each day little by little, brick by brick.

      I wish I had asked him about that. If he sold 1000 of those in a year, then that’s 75k, slightly more than what he reports as his yearly income

    Hey Pain, hope this message finds you. I’m kind of new to producing but it’s kind of comin naturally to me cuz I always wanted to be a producer l.
    So quick question: when you post (free) “” type beat on CZcams videos is that mostly for marketing strategy to get your beat out there for someone searching? You charge them if they hit you up wanting the beat exclusively right? With exclusives, does that beat belong only to that one artist to use? So one exclusive per beat? Sorry for the noob questions

    You could talk about more relevant things, like how to socially engineer an online persona, or assess the values and perceptions of the demographic that actually buys these "beats". Are these "beat buyers" just kids with summer jobs that want to be "stars" ? Are they kids that want background music for tik-toc videos? Are they pseudo washed up old rappers that are trying to relive the high points of their youth? Are they Lawyers and Doctors that rap on the weekends as a hobby? Are they sound designers that would rather pay for some "beat" , rather than develop the sound design themselves? There is a rich psychology exploring why people do that they do, and without being honest about these things you're not educating your audience. Instead, you are parasiting off their ignorance and kinda just treating them as marks. The guys being interviewed doesn't seem like a successful person that actually knows much of anything except how to self-promote himself to an unsophisticated audience. I think he's lying and makes his money through other means and is faking it to make it.
