20k plays, 3k downloads.
 

thats what my lost in my own mind tape did to date.

guess what my newest tape did?

NO NEED TO GUESS I'LL TELL YOU.

1,203 plays, 149 downloads.

i fell off/no one cares.

who wants to buy my mpc before i jump into a VAT OF ACID

Lol isn't that other tape like 5 yrs old tho?

not sure if i can edit thread title, i mean 300 downloads, not 3 thousand lol. but those are full album downloads, not singles, if i include people who downloaded singles its like 1400

for my last tape. 251 for this tape, full and singles combined.

BUT YO

i forgot about soundcloud and youtube, i got another 1000 on soundcloud, exact number i dont know i'd need a pro account i think, it literally just says 1k plays in the last 30 days. youtube i got a measley 200 plays.

so that jumps my total to like 2400 plays

still abysmal.

i'm the troy ave of internet nobodies

u have to be consistent in that market bro, u kno this.

ppl come & go all the time.

Yeah drop like an album every 2 months bro

Y'all don't know my struggle
Y'all can't match my hustle
You can't catch my hustle
You can't fathom my love dude
Lock yourself in a room doing 5 beats a day for 3 summers
That's a Different World like Cree Summer's
I deserve to do these numbers
"The kid that made that deserves that Maybach!"
So many records in my basement
I'm just waiting on my spaceship

yea 3 years tho, but most of my plays come initially after dropping shit.

peep the GRAPH

tinypic resized it on me but you can still make out the mega peak of lost in my own mind in comparison to the others

12,000 the first week basically.

rain did like 6,000 when i BUSTED ONTO THE SCENE, and stayed steady into my lost gods shit, which was probably my weakest or second weakest, so those plays are more probably like fuck this dude he fell off, just checking in.

this theory is supported by my flying fish tape not even registering a peak. i just know it was inbetween lost gods and lost in my own mind.

LOST IN MY OWN MIND DROPS. EVERYONE IS LIKE OH SHIT DA GODS BACK FUCK YOU ALL. at least thats what i hope happened in my delusional brain.

then i took 2-3 years off, and dropped uninspired, which was shitty as well, but i was like word well those were my failure throwaway beats from a period of time where i didnt make shit. literally only like 3 i really liked on it. the rest filler.

so then i dropped this new shit. but everyone slept.

the fact my soundcloud did as many plays is disheartening

but it makes sense since NOT A SINGLE BLOG HAS TOUCHED MY SHIT.

i'm assuming its the name change? or maybe no one gives a shit and NEVER REALLY DID

I'm going to download this shit and listen to it at work and tell people and shit srs.

no doubt. im 6 beats deep on the next one already. gotta keep hittin em.

yea only forums tho, i get love wherever i post, when people actually respond, but most sites no one cares to listen to anyone they just spam there own shit and you gotta make it through the MIRE of all the 10 BEATS FOR 7 DOLLARS dudes.

the main thing is these numbers are actually pretty good for just forums, but no blogs picked me up, and i have no idea how the blogs found me before lol. lost in my own mind was on hiphopbootleggers, producersiknow, some russian sites, weird foreign blogs and other shit. the majority of plays came from HHB and people repost shit from that to their own blogs so it was on alot of shit.

and i got tracks on youtube with 30 thousand plus plays as well, THAT OTHER people uploaded lmao

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbheoBDKYOs

40 thousand plays on that beat^

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5el5Xzu3Voc

36 thousand plays on that beat ^

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUEa-9zaejI

22 thousand plays on that beat ^

left em as links so you can click and see

BUT YO I JUST FIGURED OUT SOMETHING.

I SHOULD OBVIOUSLY HIT UP THAT YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND LET EM KNOW I GOT NEW SHIT LMAO

Those numbers are great. I have like 5 tracks that broke 1000 and only 1 broke 10k.


You're doing very well dude. Ungrateful fuck face.


Thanks for the feed though. Seriously.

honestly since seeing those youtube vids tho i feel DUMB

my entire bandcamps EXISTENCE, from january 2010 to present day has 76,000 plays. meanwhile 2 beats on that youtube channel of mine have 76,000 plays.

i need to network and shit i guess i just feel so gay and corny spamming my shit

i want people to find it and spam ME with requests so i can humbly ignore them before beating off to a weird porn of japanese chicks squeezing milk from their nipples and going AYE before going to sleep.

its DIFFERENT THO MAN

you're every bit as good of a rapper as i am a beatmaker.

the difference is rappers ain't trying to listen to other rappers. so your audience is normal people, and beatmakers to some extent.

the problem is, there are 9 billion rappers out of the 7 billion people alive in the world today. and only 2 billion beatmakers.

so my plays get inflated by wannabe rappers, more than casual fans.

i don't know if this makes sense. but i'm running on 5 hours of sleep, 8 hours of work, and 7 hours of chainsmoking cigarettes while drinking coffee.

This is not the way lol

Lol I wish u all the best jimbo

Yeah. That's fucking weird dude.

Are u on fb?

U do live shows?

You know the answer

Put me on some tracks

I'll murder em and your fan base will explode

oh so we all just gonna pretend like this aint some serial killer shit?

How many books have you read on internet and music marketing? How many entrepreneurs have you met, shook their hands, and asked about their personal projects or endeavors? How many blog websites have you submitted your work to, or tried to contribute to in some form or another? Do you have a Twitter?

Just some questions I might ask if I were encouraging you to revamp your whole vision of the final end product. You've more work to do, but like Badweather said, at least you have a foundation and some internet buddies to built upon.

I have a twitter on the internets!
