team shoulders versus
It's pretty much, having everything on your shoulder versus depending on an entire team.
decision makers good-decision
I am not a good decision maker; that's one of the things I don't like about myself.
finding-yourself important limits
Its so important to never limit yourself, to find yourself in a box.
love-you believe thinking
When I get the strength to leave, you always tell me that you need me. And I'm weak cause I believe you and I'm mad because I love you. So I stop and think that maybe you could learn to appreciate me, and it all remains the same that you ain't never gonna change.
wise creative purpose
I also like different records of mine for creative purposes and metaphorically wise.
rivers stupidity crocodiles
Only when you have crossed the river can you say that the crocodile has a lump on his snout.
team passion winning
I was offered seven deals from seven different major labels between 2009-2011, and to be quite honest... nowadays, you need a hit record, a great radio team, an amazing PR firm, social media, a big budget, a team that is ready to work extremely hard, and the drive and passion to win!
rivers feet common-sense
No one tests the depth of a river with both feet.
ties giving advice
Labels are going to tie you down with a 360 deal, they take percentages of literally every endeavor you're tied to. It's a lot of stipulations and constraints placed on you. What makes it worse is that, in terms of distributing budgets, labels aren't even giving the same amount as they used to. It totally defeats the purpose. My advice would be to get it out there on your own first which will lead you to calling the shots.
soul way needs
Music comes from the soul. It's a way to express yourself, so we always, always need to save the music.
life regret accepting
What love will make you do All the things that we accept Be the things that we regret
bird nests practicality
By going and coming, a bird weaves its nest.
artist hands needs
As a new artist there are so many new ways to put music out there where you don't necessarily need a label because now labels will have their hands in your pocket and leave you with less control.
baby two three
Honey Boo Boo is a handful, baby. She says what she wants to say, does what she wants to do. Ive only seen, like, snippets, like one or two or three, you know, little shots of her, but yeah, shes a handful, baby.
