DAMAG3 - OP3N

Copied!
{Verse 1: Nick}
Hello and welcome back
I know it's been quite a while but like last time
Before we get started
I want you to find a quiet comfortable place to sit or lay
And we're going to begin by taking note of the space around you
Once you're settled I want you to notice the sounds, smells
*Begin to hear SHIN3 fading in in the background*
Notice how you feel physically
Are you tense?
Are you sleepy?
Are you relaxed?
Are you restless?
Whatever it is, don't try to change it
Just take some deep breaths and notice it
And this brings us to the technique we will be exploring today called noting
Noting is where we bring awareness to passing thoughts and physical sensations
But instead of our usual attempts to change them or hold on to them
We're simply going to notice them for what they are
Temporary thoughts, temporary sensations
And as if you were sitting on the side of a highway
We're just watching the cars come and go
Some fast, some slow
Some with no---
What the fuck
{Verse 2: DAMAG3 & Nick}
IT'S DAMAG3 HOMIE!
*knock* *knock* *knock*
What bro I'm recording
Yeah me too dude, we're supposed to be working on stuff together
Ughh
But if we're gonna record like solo stuff can we at least communicate when we're doing sessions?
I mean I guess but like how often is that really a problem
I mean---
'Cause it's not like inspiration runs off a fucking schedule dude, I gotta strike when the iron's hot
No, No, no you got a point...It's just um, I'm, I'm recording
Um
And that beat bangs but it's just really loud
Okay
And I'm-I'm trying to record a guided medi---
Bro bro I know you're playin' right now
What do you mean?
No fucking way in hell
Are you looking me dead in the face talkin' about doing another guided meditation on a fucking rap album
What's the issue?
You're gonna fuck up everything with this pretentious bullshit
Wait wait wait, it's not pretentious to practice mindfulness
No, no but it is pretentious to preach it and then capitalize on it
Ugh
Using a medium that inherently draws people's attention away from the present
Because what we're selling here is an external stimulus
That's what music and entertainment are
Okay so once again, you're shitting on me
I'm not shitting---
For trying to make something with a little more substance than you know, what you're doing
Yeah, yeah and by that I'm sure you mean some of the hottest shit either of us have come up with
Ehh
Have you seen my numbers dude?
Ugh
DOUBL3 TAK3 just did 150k in 4 fucking months
Yeah
WHAT HAPP3N3D just hit 40k
I mean look, look at this *clicking and typing*
Wuh, what, okay
MY TIM3...7,000 and that's with 2 features helping you
Ugh
Uhhh, WAV3, 3000 and that one you were so attached to man
It's a good song!
I told it was chill and I liked it but that's a deep cut for the fans
That's not what's gonna get us numbers!
Yes but it's not about numbers
Yeah but it kinda is though?
Because without DOUBL3 TAK3 doing 150k there is no 3000 streams for WAV3
I mean
Without me, you are back to 12 monthly listeners
Ugh
30 streams a week across your whole catalogue, AFTER you beg everyone to listen to it
I didn't
Don't talk to me like the sheer act of making music in your room is what brings you all this fucking joy man
Half the fun and half the fulfillment is watching how it affects other people
And that's where I come in
That's why you called me back last time
That's why we took a risk to come to Cali and do this together
Yeah but---
Look just do me a favour
What?
If I'm bugging you, please don't come at me hot-headed like that
Okay
And in return, I'll do my best to let you know before I start going in on a session
Aight
Cool?
Yeah I gotchu, that's my bad for coming at you like that
*handshake*
You good bro, that's whatever
Oh hey bro, since I got you here umm
I just got some beats sent over my way
Some of these are fucking fire man, check this shit out
*Clicking and typing*
Uhh, this one
