Kenny Beats - "You're the only one who really knows how good you are" 📝🔥 

I recently moved to LA and got my foot in the door by getting a job at a major studio, I would have never taken the steps or had the mindset I had that helped me take the first steps in acheiving my goals if it wasnt for Kenny.

He is like a father that puts his hand over your shoulder, looks you in the eyes and tells you the realest shit ever! Props Kenny! Appreciate the words!

He's spitting facts I can relate 😭😭

I work on music and art because it allows me a sense of love. Growth happens, I get better; but I’m not doing it to be better, I’m doing it because I deserve to feel Love. Creativity is the quickest way to feel good. The more I create the more I feel good. And I’m not trying to be like anyone else anymore, I’m just trying to be my most present self - I’m trying to be as honest with myself as possible. Whatever I create is an indication of who I was in that moment, but now I’m a newer version of myself and I try to carry that presence into my creativity. Hope that makes sense and helps some of y’all out!

It’s not that you need jealousy and pain to motivate you. It’s that you need inspiration and guidance

Yesss i relate to this so hard. Was making beats with my friends thinking i was the shit and then i started studying sound engineering and music production. I can't even count the number of times i've been inspired by someone that's pushing their own talent to it's limits. I do also think that if you're making music cause you just have to get those songs and ideas out of your head and into the world then you're probably already on the right path. Worrying about if you work as hard as others isn't worth it. Be inspired to change up the pace sometimes or just enjoy the fact that you still have room to grow!

Production has taken a huge backseat in my life lately with school and live performances being much more important… definitely need to produce more

It’s true on a certain level, but that type of competitiveness that jazz musicians are taught also has a side to it that is toxic bull&hht as well. Your story is yours & you don’t need to practice a million hours a day to deserve to tell it.

My biggest spark recently was finding Redveil thru his Denzel collab. Kids like 18 and just ripping. Inspiring for real

needed this

facts

Bless you fliko!

Mamba Mentality! Long Live KOBE!!!! 💪🙏🏻 2023 Go hard!!!!! 🏆🥇🐐

I needed to hear this right now, thank you.

kenny goated

Thank you, thank you, thank you.❤

Success is personal be real with what you want and go after it. Don’t let other perceptions take control of that.

THANKS KENNY YOUR WORDS COMFORTABLE AND ENCOURAGE ME MORE AND MORE TO MAKE MUSIC AND PRACTICE ❤

This is amazing advice

Been making a beat a day. Glad someone is sayng this. I've always had this mentality

Flikoooooooooooooooo!

I legit just said this shit today but pertaining to picking good vs bad sounds.

This hits so hard but its all facts

Thank you for this Kenny , seriously. I needed this for real. Hopefully one day I can met you in person and thank you

flikoooo, thank you ❤

I met that guy. But he was like 7-8 years younger hahah That was tough

feel this. i could jam but i couldnt play the perfect john mayer riff at the right time. need to practice more

incroyable

HE REALLY IS MOTIVATING

🥀🥀🔥🔥🥀🥀

FLIKOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

flikooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Is it weird to say that I missed you Kenny!

bro I stopped making music bc my laptop broke. and then I started again, and see this video. Kenny just kicked my ass back to the Stu 💪he said don’t come out either 🙏😂

hope i run into them soon

That's right. I upload every day just for practice, it's all in the pursuit of mastery. There's more experience points outside your comfort zone

This makes me miss old CLA WOO 😢 Does anyone know if there's re-ups of all the speeches that Kenny gave that he used to throw up?

👀🍿

How can i like this twice?

I make music every single day there is NO delay

no cap 2023

This is such an amazing perspective and great point. Then on the other hand there people like Prince who was a virtuoso on multiple instruments at 20. Played guitar better than most guitar players who practiced and played for 50 years. Same with piano, bass, drums etc... Some people are just naturally blessed and music phenoms so don't let them discourage you. I knew a couple growing up. I played for double the amount as them and I actually practiced more and still they were just naturally better

Literally said this to my dad

I wanna be the next Kenny Beats

flikooooooo we love u! i noticed u start censoring the videos now....youtube monetization getting strict huh lol. keep up the good work gangg

I want to be the next me...SBN RESONATE

I hate I seen this, cause I'm at damn work ☹️ (for 12hrs.)

im an introvert and been making music with my brother and our friends, and slowly each one stopped, but i wanted to become an audio engineer, and produce adn have music released on the side, maybe build all of that up, but my parents are muslim and my dad doesnt want me to work only, and even if music was doing good he would tell me to chose another career, so now im using one of my friends who has a really good shot, cause he's been making music for 10 years, ive been doing it for 7, and we both have the same kind of skill and way to making music, he's making moves as an artists and im producing, mixing, releasing all of his stuff making sure its polished and sounds good, for now he pays in weed but we got a deal going on, since we both struggling together

💎💎💎

I feel like comparison steers you away from seeing that the music journey is your own music journey. I know this is said to try to be motivational but, gaining motivation from comparing yourself to others is unhealthy.

Man i needed to hear that right now, boutta boot up FL again lol 💜

Spent *WAY* too much time playing Minecraft since 2020 and now I just feel like shit. Gotta stop lying to myself 🤙

the process of creativity ist no contest....bra

Is this the original Fliko channel?

the musician was terrance blanchard

Listened until 3:53 as much as I agree with this, AINT NO ONE LIKE YOU THOUGH.-I think.

0:28 does anyone know where that clip is from

maybe being around people better than me would give me motivation again ive lost touch with music heavy and i always feel like the best in the room where i am locally so maybe it's not pushing me at all

But i feel like I'm retarded... I won't even be anything in a couple years, even if I tried. I just know how it feels, when you put everything you can towards one thing and it doesn't work out. I also feel like (after my 1000th session on FL) that my shit just suck as hell. It sucks like a Delta P. Its just Goofy

I just know I was meant to make music..I didn't realize until I died from Covid and after waking up knowing that half of my heart is dead and now can't ho back to work with a pacemaker and defibrillator it's sad but it just really woke me up knowing I might not be here tomorrow and how much I looooove Music hell it practically raised me from Hank Williams Sr. To Michael Jackson Beat It to Lynrd Skynrd Phil Collins to Slick Rick Eazy E Bone there isn't too many Genre's I don't know and Songs. Im a walkin jukebox..lol💯❤️‍🩹❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Gems kenny, gemsI just dropped two tracks, I appreciate any support y'all!

I AM ALL DAY DONT EVEN PLAY GAMES

Why do we have compare ourselves to one another? Everyone is different and has their own stuff to bring to the table. Why do we need to have someone who supposedly better than us to push us to be better? I think that’s an attitude that will put you in a world of self doubt and frustration. I think us as musicians need to work together and stop trying to out do the next guy. Some would argue that being competitive with each other has evolved music over time but I think different times call for different approaches. Maybe it’s time we stop playing the games the industry wants us to and actually change the way interact with each other. The dog eat dog mentality can only serve us for so long and I think it’s time to mix it up.

Bra said ludwig 💀

Do yall think there is an age where it’s too late?

I think I gave up this week

the whole competition angle is old though . theres always someone bigger, strong, better in the world. just focus on your own shit, dont compare some imaginary person thats grinding themselves to exhaustion because kenny told you to. the real lesson here is just having discipline to practice. all the other shit is garbage.

I'm grinding on my beats. I'd love a platform to plu in. A comunity. Any idea? I'm new to this internet comunity

Not everyone has got talent. Stop giving false hope. Most of you will fail but along the way you might just find what you are really good at.
