I refuse to devalue what I do. What u do is your choice. Sure I've done things that were not at full price, I've hooked up some talented artists because I believed in them
To me that is a different issue. I will work at a grocery before I sell beats for $200 dollars. My creativity creates a product. IT is when I begin to think of it as a service that I begin to devalue it. Sure some hit records dont take long to make. WE are not paid for the amount of time that it takes to make a beat. IF you want to factor that in to the equation (and I personally think It's Pointless) then what about all the years of study that it took me to get to the point where I could do a beat sometimes in little time. For that matter if a doctor performs a surgery and it only takes him 45 min, should I pay him $100 and say hell that's more than $100 an hour?
I will not devalue what I do. I will extend myself to friends and people I can learn from Hell even people who can learn from me for that matter.
But I will not devalue my art. I would sell EVERY piece of my gear except a guitar and keyboard (so I could ,make music for me) and get a Job. Music has gotten me through some tough times and also treated me nicely $ some years. I refuse to devalue it
