You're the j cole of this feud

@joeleytrick

i actually produced a song for nic recently. it’s easier to release more often when you outsource beats but man to make every part of the song and still release once a week would be crazy 😵‍💫

@PEERSEEMANN

Making music quickly can catch the vibe of the moment, I think Rick Rubin says that in his book. Also many of us have relentless standards and procrastinate, for those Nic‘s method can help. I think it can work for hip hop artists, singer songwriters, electronic music artists, probably not for advanced pop and rock.

@MacDeath_666

If I could I would, but I'd rather focus on quality and settle for once, and sometimes twice a month.

@yourbandisabusiness

One of the issues is that hip-hop is so popular that a lot of its fans and artists apply their assumptions to other genres. They look at other genres and think that we don't want to increase the volume of releases because we're protecting our ego or not willing to put in the work. The issue is that while hip-hop is part of popular music it's almost a genre on to its self with its one rules and expectations. It's like comparing rock to jazz or classical. A jazz artist or an orchestra musician isn't expected to write their own material and a hip-hop artist doesn't suffer from buying beats. Imagine if the Foo Fighters said they were going to release a song a week, but that the songs are written and recorded by other musicians. It wouldn't fly! I know Nic D has some proteges that aren't hip-hop but as far as I can see they are all solo artists working in genres that allows songs to be written and recorded quickly. It doesn't mean artists from other genres can't learn from Nic D. Just understand what will work and what won't work in your genre.

@HOTDANCEHITS

great vid on the 'feud' glad to hear your views

@Musformation

Great video Andrew appreciate the kind words and always love your videos. I appreciate that this was a thoughtful discussion of this.

@thorstennesch1

I release 1 song a week for 2,5 years now - because I have fun doing it, and I wrote many songs prior without recording them. I 'll never "blow up" because that also depends on your music genre (mine is lofi experimental songwriter), who you are (I'm some old guy), how much u play live & how much time/$$$ u invest in social media (day job janitor). - don't do art for the money or fame, do it for fun and if you have to. (For 10 years I was a fulltime artist)

@johndoe_1984

How can we stay competitive while thousands of non-musicians are starting to spam Spotify with AI-generated crap, thus increasing the price of ads?

@pentomusic

I really appreciate your content Andrew. Funnily enough, to me, the debate seems completely pointless once you state the fact "it depends on whether you have the time to do it and not sacrifice quality". That's the gist of it. You're absolutely right. But to me, the boatload of value you give here is about everyone blowing up differently. And it's so true and goes back to the fact that you just have to carve out your own lane and grab the opportunities that it gives you. Thank you for this video!!

@ariczair

Saw Jessie's video. Saw Nic's video, saw your comment on it, saw this video. I agree with you that the reality is likely more in the middle... And that Jessie's take makes more sense for more people.

@yukeemusic

thanks for sharing your thoughts on this! <3

@Prenticetherapper

Yeah I think artists just needs to do what works for them. What works for me may not work for you and ect, I typically release music every 4 weeks so I drop one song once a month and that seems to work for me.

@mavzygrx

Great video Andrew! I think its important people know that what works for some people doesn't work for other people. I'm releasing every 2 weeks like Nick and its going well, but I wouldn't recommend it to everyone.

@MattLeFaitMusic

Great video!

@Doxkyn

Love your work Andrew and this isn't directed at yourself or anyone in the comments. I've just finished reading Nic's book and thought there probably needs to be a little bit more context.

@sutitootimusic

Believe it or not, your perspective actually aligns VERY closely with Nic's lol. Maybe it wasn't explicitly clear in his response, but

@JACKSONPRYORBENNETT

I release every week and have been doing so again for a while. I did a 5 track beat tape every week in the past, so now doing one track a week is easy. Scheduling the tunes way in advance also has made it a lot easier, but I am doing mostly lofi so I'm not especially worried about quality of recordings, just looking for a vibe. Gonna be pairing it with a ton of content soon.

@novarobotslofi6596

Currently i make synthwave & lofi music all by myself (no samples lol) so Nic’s strategy is currently best for me. Buuuuttt, i’ve been in many original rock-type bands where i would definitely lean more on Jesse’s strategy instead. It really does come down to the type of music you’re making imo.
