I've Been Ditched and Trashed
Can I say to you? I have been ditched. I have been trashed of my song; Sorrow. But first, I want to thank you for your kind words of encouragement. No matter what life throws at me. I don't care what the mean critics, naysayers, reviewers and trolls has been say, and to tell you the truth: THEY'RE BUNCH OF S.O.B.s! I want to thank everybody for keep supporting me since the beginning of 2020. Now, I'm devastated, pissed off, and angry by these mean reviewers. When my next single drops, let's see what happens.

It can be a deflating blow when you feel your creation is being critiqued unfairly or deliberately....As we all want our art to be embraced the same way we gave it out.But think of it as for the few who try and psychologically bend our spirit and creative abilities,there are thousands of ears worldwide who feel what you do....which at times is all we need to continue our work man.

Please remember these guys don't always know what they're talking about - it's so subjective. I think it's really important not to take it so personally - you should have seen some of my first reviews - I'd have given up there and then if I'd taken it too seriously.
Make the music, enjoy the process and if someone else like it - all the better but not the only point. x

Why don't you just be bold and stop giving a fuck about it? I mean, you shouldn't even give a fuck. If you know you're good (and you are good, junior), that is all that matters. Whatcha gonna do if you get a record deal and some big-time reviewer disses your music? Cry? Just. Stop.
Sorry to be such a hardass this morning, but all you do is cry about how people diss you. Fuck those people, man. They don't mean shit.

Personally, I just thought you would get more takers on that one if you lower the key. You have good tones in your low range that you sometimes don’t use, but they’re worth using.

I was in the presence of a truly great and world renowned songwriter/performer once at a ASCAP event in LA. I asked him to review my music and he looked me in the eye and said: "Let's go to lunch". We went to a very famous restaurant in Hollywood and I ordered a steak. Then, when my steak came he asked me if it was good. I said yes, He said: So you know that it is good right? I said yes. Then he asked So, do you need me to take a piece of that to confirm that it is good. I said no. Then he went into this long diatribe about me knowing my work is good is all that I need. His point was that reviews are simply other peoples opinions and not necessarily facts. You take it with a grain of salt while knowing inside already that your work is good. The goal should be to look for constructive critiques. There may be some nuggets of gold in there. You know? things that maybe you can improve on. But ignore all the negative shit. Some people have nothing to do but trash other people. Fuck them! I bet they cannot do better than what you do. They are just talking shit man. Let it slide off you like the slime that they are. Keep doing you man. It has great worth and merit.
