If you are not a twitter follower of Mister Incredible, @MI_Abaga, then you probably missed this.
In a series of tweets, the A-list rapper and entertainer shares from his wealth of experience. Enjoy.
10. Stop listening to other people. Listen to your heart… and practice how to interpret it.
9. Topics you pick to record songs about are pivotal. E.g. songs about dance almost never work.
8. Study, study, study. Who do you want to sound like, what beats do you like. Study them.
7. Everything you could ever say has been said more eloquently by someone before you. Research, listen.
6. Envision the experience, listening to your album you want your fans to have. From intro to track 1 to the end.
5. Genius loves company. Mohits records are so great ‘cos they all pitch in on all individual projects. Surround yourself with talents.
4. You need someone to tell you honestly when an idea is sh*t. My CEO is never impressed by any of my first takes.
3. Focus on songs that are easy to perform well. Imagine fan response on stage. Where will they scream? What lines will they say back at you?
2. Variety is the spice of life. Different styles, tempos, keys (important). Explore all.
1. “The Goal of the artist is to create the definitive work that cannot be surpassed.” George Bernard Shaw
