quantity or quality what's more important is speed the name of the game is the only thing
that matters is the final product how much is not enough how much is enough quantity or quality
that's what we're gonna talk about in this video ps right now we're out in brooklyn on some light
what's up everyone my name is Cracka Lack welcome back to crackalacktv in today's
video we're gonna talk about quantity versus quality what's more important also we're here
in brooklyn new york so i'm going to put together a b-roll sequence showcasing kind of what's around
here in brooklyn if you're new to the channel i used to be an artist myself so i know how it is
thinking about how often should i release new music should i spend more time pushing the song
i realized being an artist wasn't for me so since then for over 10 years now i've focused on all of
the behind the scenes stuff making beats record mixing songs shooting videos and that's what i
do so that's what i talk about on this channel so make sure you subscribe hit the bell to be
notified for future uploads so you don't miss any more of this content crack-a-lack on the truck
it won't turn off
all dji now i do believe one is more important than others but first let's talk about quality
why is quality important quality is important because no matter how high your quantity is
if there's not at least one piece of quality in there you're not gonna find success so if you're
a producer and you have a hundred beats and all 100 of those there's not one quality beat there
that one quality beat is going to trump those 99 not quality beats if you're an artist you have one
banging song that could be a big single or you got a hundred wack trash songs that one quality
song can change your life quality support if you're good on the camera you're a skilled
cameraman you're a skilled photographer what people are looking for is the quality that's
one thing as my prices have raised over the years people have said man i need quality i'm trying
to get to the next level i need quality you got that quality so that's why i'm working with you
quality is going to open doors for you quality can change your life that's what quality is important
tell me that these stoops don't make you think of hip-hop and rap music videos the
video starts the artist comes slow-mo down the stairs looks left looks bright hops in the car
drives off then i'm going to a corner store he's got a new york fitted hat on some tims
this city's [ __ ] nuts where do you go to the bathroom in new york city let me
know in the comments two nights ago i took a piss right in the middle of the sidewalk
i even asked the police where do you go to take a piss they said i don't know all right
looking for a place
we just pulled over somewhere in the middle of pennsylvania we have a 11 hour drive
back from brooklyn new york to lansing michigan where i'm from but back talking about quality
responsibility so the perfect world you sit down you make one beat it's top quality it's amazing
sell it make a lot of money right you gain lots of respect you're the guy to go to equality you shoot
your first music video is phenomenal top-notch quality everyone books you you start flying all
over the place perfect world you make one song high quality changes your life right realistically
how do you get to the level of having high quality you do that through quantity right quantity is
like practice through making 100 beats that's how you get better to make that one beat the
big one through making let's say 100 songs that's where you discover your banger that's why a lot of
artists when they're working on albums they'll get in the studio they might record 30 40 50 songs and
they'll pick like the top 10 best songs tho those on the album and then usually there's one or two
huge songs on there that change their life forever but in order to get there you got to do it through
quantities that's where quantity comes in place so i'm i'm big on quantity there's another thing to
consider is what can you control you can't really control quality yes you can put more time the more
time you put into something the the higher the quality it should be but a lot of times those
special gyms those fire beats they come from just going through the motions going through
the motions like this one i put two three hours into this and then this one right here man they
honestly just came together i was already in the studio i stayed late i did it in like 5-10 minutes
and that was the one that changed my life but you got to that moment right there through embracing
the quantity knowing that you had to put them reps in and so that's where quantity comes into place
so we can control quantity because if you're a videographer you can continue to shoot videos
if your artist you can continue to keep making music producers continue to keep making beats
we are in control of the quantity we're in control of that studying being here on youtube
looking up tutorials looking up tips watch videos on marketing listening to interviews listening to
podcasts that's all stuff that we can control and make an effort for to help us get to that
quality level it's like there's outside things that come into play too getting back in the car
i'll check back in with you guys in a little bit so there's seven hours left of driving is that
my insurance is on my phone all right go ahead and pull that up and sit tight for me all right
guys we just got pulled over yo i'm on my way now okay
oh yeah so today is like a week and a half later from us getting pulled over so what ended up
happening was the cops came back searched the car they found all of the drugs and then alyssa took
the charge so she went to jail i ended up having to bail her out and here we are today back home
just kidding that whole story is made up
so
all right so let's talk about quantity one thing that i love about quantity is today you'll never
have enough content between facebook youtube instagram twitter linkedin all the different
platforms you'll never have enough content and that's that's what a lot of people's problems
are it's like they put in a little bit of work put out some content and then they disappear for
weeks to months and people have really short attention spans we consume so much tv
and content and social media all that different stuff and what ends up happening is when people
don't continuously see your face they forget about you so it's very hard to stay in front of
people's face always popping up always posting new content releasing new music if you're an artist
do you even have enough music out to build a fan base because what happens is also producers do
you have enough beats to really win some customers to to make it worth your roi return on investment
let's say you're running ads to promote your beat site do you have enough beats on there to be lucky
enough to get a rapper to click the ad go to your beats store and have enough beats there for them
to go through with the hopes of finding one and buying a beat of yours same thing with artists
i've seen it where an artist gets lucky and one of their songs starts taking off but they don't have
enough music right there to like to really win over like a die hard fan for example i could have
people over for two hours and go to like kevin gates station and let his music just play now
i start for the full two hours you can do that with like lil wayne as an artist i believe the
bigger your catalog the bigger your bag like the more money that you can make let's say you only
have a thousand fans listening to your music and you have one song out now you have a thousand the
same thousand fans but you have a hundred songs out that's a hundred different songs that those
thousand fans are going to be listening to the streams are to go up you're going to make more
money and you'll be a lot better off way better off something with music producers if you have
100 beats for sale versus like five beats for sale you're gonna sell more beats videographers
let's say you've only shot maybe like five music videos or you've shot a hundred music videos the
more music videos the more content in general that you have floating around out there the higher the
eyes are that you're going to be discovered by the next person like the more people will reach out to
work with you that's like the networking piece so remember people have short attention spans
stay in front of their face the more content you have the better and also the more work you have
the more songs you have beats you have videos you have circulating out there the higher the eyes of
success of more people finding you discovering you let's just think about behind the scenes
content right if you only shoot one music video a month and you have behind the scenes pictures
that you're gonna post on your social media you're gonna run out of pictures pretty quick because you
only have one video shoot same thing as an artist if you only go to the studio every month or every
few months you're gonna run out of like behind the scenes pictures of you in the booth behind
the scenes videos of you in the booth producer you're in the studio making beats you don't do
it too much you have a low quantity you're going to run out of content to post i feel
like the more you're in the gym the more you're shooting videos the more you're in the studio
the more content you'll have the more content you can post and then you're staying in front of
people's faces people are remembering you you're building your brand like post by post on social
media one post at a time it's like building a wall one brick at a time you're building your
career your empire one post at a time one beat at a time one song at a time one video at a time
for president 2024 you got an energy drink yeah you don't know
all right so quantity or quality what's more important the winners is quantity i had a
quote a similar quote's probably been said before but in different wording it was achieve quality
through quantity right so quantity you can control you can control how much your input is how much
you're working stay in the studio stay in the gym put in the reps practice practice makes perfect
you're practicing through the quantity and then through that that's how you'll achieve quality
remember quality doesn't happen overnight i'm big on odds you know the odds of you making that
hit song that amazing beat shooting that the best video of your life the odds of that are
higher the more output the more you're putting out yeah stay putting in work stick with that
quantity to achieve the quality that's in the video thank you all for watching be sure to give
