If this video proves anything it is that you don't just need luck, or talent, or dedication, or time in the game, or connections. You need all of it and even then you might not make it.
it's most likely going to feel like any other job by the time it consistently feeds you, except even more stressful due to extremely high competition and lack of guaranteed minimum wage
Been in the industry for 13 years. Without stacks and major backing, it’s a grind. If you’re a musician, producer, vocalist whatever-keep grinding. Hopefully you will find your sound and get to where you want to be. Don’t be discouraged. This industry is TOUGH.
this video actually proves lots of luck is needed. You didn't blow up even if you have decades of experience and the song and video were high quality too
@@mattia2837 Experience and a nice camera/mic are things you earn. You don’t have to be lucky to spend your time investing in your skill sets or material objects. You could save up money and buy the equipment you need, pirate the software if necessary.
fact is there just isnt room for everyone in an industry like this, you gotta have something that people wanna hear and everyone cant create that. if you cant be a creator and still wanna be in the industry you can try many different avenues to get there. keep going til you're literally unable to any more so you can say you tried your hardest for your whole life and not look back with regret
I'm glad you still put this video out even though you didn't get the result you wanted. It shows the real side of content creation and not just the rare instant successes that make everyone think it's so easy
Thank you very much for this video! As a band we have just started to release our songs and some videos.

@@gavinhicks7621 yeah I get what you’re saying bro but look at the interviews. Post admitted yeah he played guitar and all that for years loving and making music but he was only 18 or 19 when he made white iverson and he even said it was the first song he dropped publicly.
Is the message that people find Drake clone rappers on lazy trap beats uninteresting? To me the main takeaway is that they put a ton of effort into using formulated marketing tactics on a really boring song, instead of just presenting 'guy in ski mask' and spending more time on the music.
"Imma make a fake rapper and when it blows up, it'll prove that luck's got nothing to do with it" *It doesn't blow up* "Well I think that this just proves that luck's got nothing to do with it." Bro, you guys were still you with all of your time and blood sweat and tears poured into your craft and then this flopped. This just proves that you can be incredibly talented and have a deep understanding of the industry and marketing yourself and you can still not make it because the luck wasn't there. It's not ALL luck but the luck HAS to be there.
I think a more realistic conclusion is that getting a viral hit *IS* about luck, but a more realistic path is to put in the hours to not only hone your craft but also build connections and a following.
@@majorbedhead7451 yeah thats true! its about the process and journey and he can make more bangers like this and grow from that. or well I think at least
Strongly disagree with this. They just arent there yet as artists and creatives. They are not good enough yet. It has nothing to do with luck. I started a project in april that already makes 2 grand a month from streaming alone already. Spent fifty bucks per song for artwork, thats it. It isnt luck, they just arent good enough. You need to understand audiences on a deep level, they never once ever discussed what audience they were going for.
@@blayneofficialI mean it's true you can start from nothing but there comes a time when, especially in 2023 with social media and the importance of technology and all, where you have to have money and a whole budget to really step up your game
@@blayneofficialYou can make it big without money but it's very difficult. In the modern era you can blow up a song just by paying popular TikTok influencers to dance to it or what not
Dude I made a long comment saying how I knew it wasn’t luck. Then you reassured my comment with this whole video, thank you so much for doing this. It makes me realize the things I need to do & one of the main ones is just to KEEP GOING. You’re awesome dude, you’ve inspired me countless times. Thank you a million.
Absolutely love the ending of this video, and I love how real it is. You are totally right man, blowing up overnight is not realistic and even if it did happen, it's way more rewarding to go through the grind and get to a point that you can say that you have made it. "So many rappers on that stupid superstar shit, but I plan to eat with the people I starved with. I’ve made money, I’ve lost money, I’ve spent money, I've slept outside due to lack of the rent money. I’ve been in love, been happy, been through a lot of pain, 'cause what the fuck is sunshine without a little rain?" - Logic
damn no cap i thought ya'll was gonna do it but I'm glad ya'll didn't coz people need to know this not easy and to keep going no matter what if it's what they really want!
I think you perfectly proved its not luck. Isn't it too easy if you made the right tik tok cause it fits the algorithm or trend and it blows up? You're right. It takes time to sharpen your skills. I wonder everyday why your collab with K. Scott isn't number 1 right now. It's absolutely genius. Stuff don't always go your way. Definitely doesn't come easy. But it don't mean you can't work for it. And loving what you do makes it that much better
What do you view as success is a better question then. Sure, luck is involved, but there are plenty of people who sucked at something and became amazing. People drop out of school and become incredibly wealthy doing their own thing. Or an incredibly poor person becomes an amazing athlete. Big picture is, a lot of mainstream stuff right now is absolute garbage. What KB/KB Collective and friends do, is what they like or love, and keep pursuing it. And wouldn't you know, that authenticity doesn't produce garbage.
Really like the ending to this video, didn't play a hand of god like giving an extension period, just simply acknowledged the hard work it takes to create something and get somewhere with it. I'm currently making youtube videos and trying to balance that with uni life so the message definitely struck something in me
Music isn’t something we do. It’s who we are. It’s a lifestyle. The love for the music and hard work will get you somewhere eventually. Maybe not where you planned, but making money, doing what you love doing, after doing it for free for so many years. Can’t ask for a better outcome
Kyle: I'm gonna succeed in making a viral tik-tok to prove it's not luck. Here I go. *fails* Kyle: Ok, well... actually failing is what proves it's not luck. Yeah. *Scratches head and stares pensively into the distance to seem deep* Yeah, that's not how an experiment works, buddy. You don't get to state your hypothesis, run your experiment, FAIL, and then say, "Looks like I have succeeded in proving my hypothesis."
there is a such thing as a null hypothesis, but most scientific papers wont publish those in fear of having a failure published. But it is important to publish those failures as it helps the scientific community. same thing here in this non scientific "experiment"
yeah he proved that luck plays the most important role. lucky to get the right connections, lucky to hit the algorithm right. the thing is, with consistency and effort you will get more chances at being lucky. like buying 1 lottery ticket vs 1000. you will have better odds, but it also costs more. the conclusion is, living from art is really hard, but rewarding when it goes well
@@Adam-oq2lqfor sure! I mean, you compare this track to even say something old like NF's "Intro". Not even close! And even that old track isn't like "The Search" or just recently "Hope" that topped charts to make him really blow up. Kinda like in the metal music community; you can write the heaviest song, but unless you can make the people feel something that they can't get from somewhere else, it's just a drop in the ocean of content known as the Internet.
Dont be scared to ask others for help and opinions, Even the most critical feedback can help you grow and learn to understand. This even can send you in a differend route then you would take before. Producers like Kyle have so much years under their belt and tried so many things to craft their own sound. My tip to those that actualy want to make it ; Dont dream , just do it. You can fail a 1000 times but never give up cause you will always learn more.
The craziest thing is this Kylastic song is unironically my favorite song I've seen you guys make so far lol like genuinely think it would blow up if you and Matt just released it through your normal channels, shit is so hard keep it up
its really all about the journey, the people you get to meet, the moments you make something fire and you appreciate your craft even more, the people you learned from. when you can't seem to make any good shit you just appreciate when you make good shit even more. it wouldn't be fun if you could blow up over night
thank you, ive been making my own music writing my own songs for about 3 years now, no luck on gaining any traction , and ive been thinking of just stopping all together, but the message at the end of this video makes me want to keep going and keep trying.
@@Nicht-Ha2em i dont have anything on there, one of my biggest problems is my OCD and its hard for me to say a song is perfect, but also i tend to delete them if they dont do well.
YES! The message at the end is everything! So many people go into music expecting an overnight success story and instant gratification when in reality it takes years to build something authentic. Been making music 10+ years, still growing and learning everyday. Build for longevity not temporary 🙌🏻🔥
Not guna lie the track was hard thou 😂😂, plus the visuals. I was sold, even though I watched it get fabricated infront of my eyes. As a rapper who's put 6 years into this I've experienced how this video ended many times. Am currently making the best music I've ever made and set to release soon. But as a plan not to fall on my face, I've dedicated 2 hours every morning to editing reaction videos (finding cult audience) and mixing down my music. In a bid to really smash it this time. Wish me luck lads. There's 1000 roads the the same destination. Lets see how it goes. 😅
Loved this one, the way you show not only the beatmaking but also laying down vocals is why I keep coming back, but seeing you guys also record the MV and edit the artwork made this one special, keep it up 🔥
This was so inspirational i am a 37 year old rapper from Chicago been doing this for over 15 years now and probably have as many followers as Kylastic.. I know i make dope music but just havent invested enough in marketing and social media presence. Im self funded and independent and sometimes it just seems like you need a million dollar budget to be seen or relevant.
Most of the people on here who say they make "dope music" get their shot and it's ass. Some people just don't have the voice or just aren't good at it. I haven't heard you but it's an observation
just checked you out, sound good bro. If I could give any advice I'd say show your face more. Start posting those music videos on short form. Keep going you got the talent fr
You already have money for music video, skills for beats, more knowledge of the industry, and, and , and, this just proves that you can reinvent yourself than "it's not luck"
@@RealShaggythat’s what he’s saying lol. No one ever thought Kyle Beats success was from luck, & he’s implying that from the video. We know all the artists he’s worked with had a lot of potential just from working with him because of his understanding on everything. It’s like having Kobe on your team lol, Kyle Beats has connects to like everything you need to be a successful artist. High quality beats, great marketing, a built up fan base that he created from the ground up over years of hard work, etc. so having all that under your belt itd be pretty easy to break an “anonymous artist” because the person in the background (Kyle Beats) already has prior success in this area. Look at the artists he’s worked with lol, they have like whole ass fan bases now.
@@RealShaggy Money is partially based on luck but that's besides the point. The point is that even if you have knowledge in the industry, rapping talent, good beats, and a great music video you still might not make it. These guys are literally pros and still failed on a song that is better than 99.9% of the songs upcoming rappers will be releasing and still didn't make it. That shows that even if you do everything right, luck is the final factor you have to have. You just have to have the skill to capitalize on it if it comes your way. Although if this kylastic person kept making more songs, they would have a higher chance to get lucky and eventually they could make it.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned it’s that the game is super competitive even when all the artists are just thinking about themselves getting big. But if every artist is thinking about getting big and there’s so many artists, that’s what makes it competitive. Who’s got the catchiest hook, who’s got the cleanest mix, who’s got what it takes to make an audience turn into a fan base. It’s a huge mental toll until you find you in music. So just embrace the fact it’s a competition but also know it’s not really about it being a competition. That’s why I said it’s lowkey a comp. Do you, have fun, keep learning, and have fun. The rest will come naturally during your journey.
@@benjaminraymundo6711 thats such a bs statement implying that if you fail its 100% on you. Yes I want to believe you but there are many many people who work hard or even harder than those who succeed that do not succeed. By definition of success there needs to be those who fail, despite how hard or how long they've worked.
You have earned my respect from this video, man! Sometimes, years of hard work wont even pay off. It takes hard work, luck and connections. If you love what you do.. keep doing it!!!
The way you show everybody literally every way you make it and some of these people don’t take any of this advice. I love watching your videos. It’s another inspiration to keep going cuz I know the dedication I got is gonna keep me in this space. 🤘
Kyle, I love how much time you put into making your videos. I know first-hand that sometimes it can take several hours to come up with a good beat. And on top of these beats u make all the time, your also editing and posting a new video once every other week. And not to mention they are like QUALITY TH-cam videos and yeah. Your just a huge inspiration to me in the beat-making industry, I don't know if I want to do it as a career, or just as a hobby, but yeah, either way ur awesome dude. Keep up the good rate.
Jack Pembrook literally stole your video idea. Almost identical title, almost identical thumbnail. Not sure if you guys know eachother. But definitely seems like its worth looking into...
content creation is a loop.. there are some that make “new ideas”, and literally the rest are here to just copy it - call it a “trend” if you will. matter of fact; most content creators are not here to reinvent the wheel. they do what they are seeing work for others within their niche
Great job....I think this shows a lot on how artists think nowadays....this is the perfect example....and you actually made it very interesting to see results.💪🔥
Its very true, we just have to grind, being consistent is key. I started out having zero listener, I mean my goal isn’t to blow up or something, i simply just fall in love with the process of making music and speak your soul. Let everything flows naturally Great video as usual Kyle 💯 you’re always an inspiration
I remember how much Ludwig's attempt at proving that becoming a youtube creator wasnt "luck" failed miserably. Luck is definately involved in becoming a rapper and being able to live off the money generated by your music, it also takes skill but you cannot get there with no luck.
Thank you Kyle. I lately got into production after years of piano and freestyle nonsense just for fun and my friends. This gave me the boost to get at it, as a true Kyleastic myself.. working a full time remote job :)
Wow as an artist of over 10 years this hit home. I think the main thing I had to learn was success doesn’t happen overnight. It’s like I see so many people getting views and recognition I get discouraged and stop promoting and stop making music. This year I told myself don’t quit no matter what. I know I’m talented but my consistency is bad. This video is just beautiful
Just because the challenge didn’t hit, the strategies are sound. Doing this with a backed up catalogue and target songs. Consistent. Bless up artists ❤
even though you made it a fake account, i think you should continue with a Kylastic series it shows most talented artists are unappreciated. its not luck its about the grind
I feel like what actually makes you blow up, is that you have a large toolkit at your disposal, and you can use it consistently. If Kylastic kept rapping and made those vids similar, and had the fire bars and beat switches, that would be his toolkit and the consistency would be shown through many.
I used to always say that luck is where opportunity and skills meet. I don't have any idea who's ever said that or how and why I started personally saying it, but if you think about it it applies 100% to our careers- The only key factor in key in our industry has always been time and effort, and it will always be like that.
There is no luck, you have to know how to be unique and how to please the mainstream at the same time, then have the marketing, and on top of that, have the patience and willingness to convince people to enjoy your style. Problem here is its also really hard to have people naturally like your unique style. The luck part is revolutionizing this new style and having people naturally like it. That's why artists like Travis Scott are as big as they are.
But that’s luck, you need to be lucky to have the right parents (dna, genes) you need to be lucky to have the right equipment/ chances….you need luck to have the right mindset and timeframe…you need luck to not have physical or mental disabilities..you need luck to have a good voice and a sense of rhythm…life if luck you can change a bit but l….
No That's luck broski travis was lucky to be born in a middle class family and not in a toxic household in nebraska everything it's about where you are when you are who do you know and what you do that's it.
Lmao.. "it's not about luck".. proceeds to to 100% demonstrate that luck is a major factor. Also it would be ridiculous to take the word of someone who *did* make it to prove that they *didn't* get lucky. All they have to go off of is their own personal experience of having made it.. and those around them who probably fed off each other. This is clearly a biased outlook
I don't actually see how this video wasn't a success just because they didn't hit their arbitrary goal of 50k. He got comments, the start of a fanbase, and 7k views isn't nothing either. The way you actually make it as a content creator from what I gathered is to stay on the grind, continuing to work and put stuff out there, and I bet if he continued to put videos out there, he would continue to get more and more views, more and more recognition and fans, and eventually one would actually hit viral and things would really take off from there.
I can get 7k views in my sleep, it was a failure lol I've got 4 youtube channels more popular than this these guys just don't understand that they are lucky to have ANY success, they aren't as talented as they think, not even really close lol
Thank you for doing this, I was thinking "if they succeed this thing I quit" not because you made it faster than anyone, it's because I was afraid of not being lucky enough to make it somehow, but thank you, this is a fact that nobody can ignore

I just started TRYING to make music because of my little brother. He inspired me because he is grinding and performing at shows and honestly im so proud of him. Him and Kyle Beats are great motivation for me to try and find my sound and what I can create. I am terrible right now but i see growth everyday and if not anything else, its fun to fuck around. So maybe i'll grow my craft like Kyle said but if not, its definitely a fun hobby to try and learn and be creative with.
the end prove more that this is not luck, this is only sticking to a long term plan and keep grinding, that's not luck, but work and endless dedication
Luck definitely plays a factor, but will only you take you as far as that luck last. You need skills to stay alive; if you want to grow, you have to invest the time to the grind until it becomes a groove that you can move and that moves you to your next levels. Nice vid, thx!

I think you perfectly proved its not luck. Isn't it too easy if you made the right tik tok cause it fits the algorithm or trend and it blows up? You're right. It takes time to sharpen your skills. I wonder everyday why your collab with K. Scott isn't number 1 right now. It's absolutely genius. Stuff don't always go your way. Definitely doesn't come easy. But it don't mean you can't work for it. And loving what you do makes it that much better
Bang
Ofc it's luck if you go far back enough in anyone's life. How do you think he even got started with making music? Well bc he had access to it
a lot of it is 1000000% LUCK
bro really likes this video
What do you view as success is a better question then. Sure, luck is involved, but there are plenty of people who sucked at something and became amazing. People drop out of school and become incredibly wealthy doing their own thing. Or an incredibly poor person becomes an amazing athlete.
Big picture is, a lot of mainstream stuff right now is absolute garbage. What KB/KB Collective and friends do, is what they like or love, and keep pursuing it. And wouldn't you know, that authenticity doesn't produce garbage.
Really like the ending to this video, didn't play a hand of god like giving an extension period, just simply acknowledged the hard work it takes to create something and get somewhere with it. I'm currently making youtube videos and trying to balance that with uni life so the message definitely struck something in me
he did it again. PSYCHEDELIC, the artist. has to be this guy.
It's not luck, but it's definitely expensive
Music isn’t something we do. It’s who we are. It’s a lifestyle. The love for the music and hard work will get you somewhere eventually. Maybe not where you planned, but making money, doing what you love doing, after doing it for free for so many years. Can’t ask for a better outcome
Kyle: I'm gonna succeed in making a viral tik-tok to prove it's not luck. Here I go.
*fails*
Kyle: Ok, well... actually failing is what proves it's not luck. Yeah.
*Scratches head and stares pensively into the distance to seem deep*
Yeah, that's not how an experiment works, buddy. You don't get to state your hypothesis, run your experiment, FAIL, and then say, "Looks like I have succeeded in proving my hypothesis."
there is a such thing as a null hypothesis, but most scientific papers wont publish those in fear of having a failure published. But it is important to publish those failures as it helps the scientific community. same thing here in this non scientific "experiment"
He simply overestimated his skills. Let's be straight, he's fine for youtube but apparently it is not enough for the real world.
yeah he proved that luck plays the most important role. lucky to get the right connections, lucky to hit the algorithm right.
the thing is, with consistency and effort you will get more chances at being lucky. like buying 1 lottery ticket vs 1000. you will have better odds, but it also costs more.
the conclusion is, living from art is really hard, but rewarding when it goes well
@@Adam-oq2lqfor sure! I mean, you compare this track to even say something old like NF's "Intro".
Not even close!
And even that old track isn't like "The Search" or just recently "Hope" that topped charts to make him really blow up.
Kinda like in the metal music community; you can write the heaviest song, but unless you can make the people feel something that they can't get from somewhere else, it's just a drop in the ocean of content known as the Internet.
Dont be scared to ask others for help and opinions, Even the most critical feedback can help you grow and learn to understand. This even can send you in a differend route then you would take before. Producers like Kyle have so much years under their belt and tried so many things to craft their own sound. My tip to those that actualy want to make it ; Dont dream , just do it. You can fail a 1000 times but never give up cause you will always learn more.
You’ve gotta stand out more. This song sounds like every other rap song I’ve heard on tiktok/yt shorts. Especially the tongue-in-cheek bits.
Clicked on ur video randomly, realised your unknown song was in my playlist. Didnt know it was u. Now i`m subscribed❤
The craziest thing is this Kylastic song is unironically my favorite song I've seen you guys make so far lol like genuinely think it would blow up if you and Matt just released it through your normal channels, shit is so hard keep it up
I actually said we should drop it as us lmao
@@MattCorman its never too late to start an idea, get creative and God bless!
@@MattCorman you be sounding as drake here ngl
@@noWoodsmanI thought it was just me lol
2.7 million views and dozens of them have listened to this song after watching the video.
its really all about the journey, the people you get to meet, the moments you make something fire and you appreciate your craft even more, the people you learned from. when you can't seem to make any good shit you just appreciate when you make good shit even more. it wouldn't be fun if you could blow up over night
thank you, ive been making my own music writing my own songs for about 3 years now, no luck on gaining any traction , and ive been thinking of just stopping all together, but the message at the end of this video makes me want to keep going and keep trying.
Man i can’t open the link to ur sound cloud can you paste it in the reply so i can listen to u
@@Nicht-Ha2em i dont have anything on there, one of my biggest problems is my OCD and its hard for me to say a song is perfect, but also i tend to delete them if they dont do well.
Ok bro hope you the best
now i see where jack pembrook gets his ideas he steals them :/ kinda makes me sad
YES! The message at the end is everything! So many people go into music expecting an overnight success story and instant gratification when in reality it takes years to build something authentic. Been making music 10+ years, still growing and learning everyday. Build for longevity not temporary 🙌🏻🔥
Great message. I just listened to your music. I love it. Great vibes, lyrics and aesthetic. Keep up the great work mate.
@@Belwoorf I appreciate that bro! Thank you! 🙏🏻❤️
got any tips man?
@@The-Legend-of-P stay consistent in making the most authentic art to you. Also, quality over quantity 🙌🏻
@@JD-wu5pf huh?
Not guna lie the track was hard thou 😂😂, plus the visuals. I was sold, even though I watched it get fabricated infront of my eyes. As a rapper who's put 6 years into this I've experienced how this video ended many times. Am currently making the best music I've ever made and set to release soon. But as a plan not to fall on my face, I've dedicated 2 hours every morning to editing reaction videos (finding cult audience) and mixing down my music. In a bid to really smash it this time. Wish me luck lads. There's 1000 roads the the same destination. Lets see how it goes. 😅
Good luck mate let us know how it goes
get right!
It is luck but you gotta be ready to capitalize on that opportunity the moment it comes. Dope video tho, I enjoyed it.
This video is INSPIRING. Not taking the fact of how nowadays artists need to work on a production before people notice it. Great love 🙏
I love how you did actually prove it's all luck...
Loved this one, the way you show not only the beatmaking but also laying down vocals is why I keep coming back, but seeing you guys also record the MV and edit the artwork made this one special, keep it up 🔥
This was so inspirational i am a 37 year old rapper from Chicago been doing this for over 15 years now and probably have as many followers as Kylastic.. I know i make dope music but just havent invested enough in marketing and social media presence. Im self funded and independent and sometimes it just seems like you need a million dollar budget to be seen or relevant.
Most of the people on here who say they make "dope music" get their shot and it's ass. Some people just don't have the voice or just aren't good at it. I haven't heard you but it's an observation
@@timetokillslapp yea that's true but bro actually has a flow and bars, it ain't nothing revolutionary but he actually sounds good
@@themagickmann I listened if the production was better a lot of it actually sounded good. And he had some pretty creative bars.
Appreciate yall for checking out the music FR.. working on a new album going super hard on the production this time around 💯
just checked you out, sound good bro. If I could give any advice I'd say show your face more. Start posting those music videos on short form. Keep going you got the talent fr
You already have money for music video, skills for beats, more knowledge of the industry, and, and , and, this just proves that you can reinvent yourself than "it's not luck"
Hate to be a pessimist, but I agree.
So you're saying it's money, knowledge of industry, and beat making skills? None of that is luck.
@@RealShaggythat’s what he’s saying lol.
No one ever thought Kyle Beats success was from luck, & he’s implying that from the video. We know all the artists he’s worked with had a lot of potential just from working with him because of his understanding on everything. It’s like having Kobe on your team lol, Kyle Beats has connects to like everything you need to be a successful artist. High quality beats, great marketing, a built up fan base that he created from the ground up over years of hard work, etc. so having all that under your belt itd be pretty easy to break an “anonymous artist” because the person in the background (Kyle Beats) already has prior success in this area. Look at the artists he’s worked with lol, they have like whole ass fan bases now.
@@RealShaggy Money is partially based on luck but that's besides the point. The point is that even if you have knowledge in the industry, rapping talent, good beats, and a great music video you still might not make it. These guys are literally pros and still failed on a song that is better than 99.9% of the songs upcoming rappers will be releasing and still didn't make it. That shows that even if you do everything right, luck is the final factor you have to have. You just have to have the skill to capitalize on it if it comes your way. Although if this kylastic person kept making more songs, they would have a higher chance to get lucky and eventually they could make it.
You can work on money, skills and knowledge and then try to blow up no one said you can blow up out the womb
If there’s one thing I’ve learned it’s that the game is super competitive even when all the artists are just thinking about themselves getting big. But if every artist is thinking about getting big and there’s so many artists, that’s what makes it competitive. Who’s got the catchiest hook, who’s got the cleanest mix, who’s got what it takes to make an audience turn into a fan base. It’s a huge mental toll until you find you in music. So just embrace the fact it’s a competition but also know it’s not really about it being a competition. That’s why I said it’s lowkey a comp. Do you, have fun, keep learning, and have fun. The rest will come naturally during your journey.
I would have loved to see multiple songs and albums dropped by this guy and then he blows up then u reveal it
This video proves one thing, it doesn't matter how much work you put in you always need at least a little luck to make it
And if you work hard enough that luck will come. Its all statistics and probability.
@@benjaminraymundo6711 thats such a bs statement implying that if you fail its 100% on you. Yes I want to believe you but there are many many people who work hard or even harder than those who succeed that do not succeed. By definition of success there needs to be those who fail, despite how hard or how long they've worked.
You have earned my respect from this video, man! Sometimes, years of hard work wont even pay off. It takes hard work, luck and connections. If you love what you do.. keep doing it!!!
thanks for watching
Damn, I can’t believe Kyle Beats was Eminem this whole time 😔
The way you show everybody literally every way you make it and some of these people don’t take any of this advice. I love watching your videos. It’s another inspiration to keep going cuz I know the dedication I got is gonna keep me in this space. 🤘
😂😂 9:02 it's for the money😂😂😂😂 like bro....the way he said it
Kyle, I love how much time you put into making your videos. I know first-hand that sometimes it can take several hours to come up with a good beat. And on top of these beats u make all the time, your also editing and posting a new video once every other week. And not to mention they are like QUALITY TH-cam videos and yeah. Your just a huge inspiration to me in the beat-making industry, I don't know if I want to do it as a career, or just as a hobby, but yeah, either way ur awesome dude. Keep up the good rate.
Jack Pembrook literally stole your video idea. Almost identical title, almost identical thumbnail. Not sure if you guys know eachother. But definitely seems like its worth looking into...
Wild 😂
content creation is a loop.. there are some that make “new ideas”, and literally the rest are here to just copy it - call it a “trend” if you will.
matter of fact; most content creators are not here to reinvent the wheel. they do what they are seeing work for others within their niche
This was one of your best videos yet Kyle, really good stuff. Looked like so much fun filming it too lol
You said you have somewhat of an online presence. That’s humble. Respect bro 💯💯
Great job....I think this shows a lot on how artists think nowadays....this is the perfect example....and you actually made it very interesting to see results.💪🔥
Its very true, we just have to grind, being consistent is key. I started out having zero listener, I mean my goal isn’t to blow up or something, i simply just fall in love with the process of making music and speak your soul. Let everything flows naturally
Great video as usual Kyle 💯 you’re always an inspiration
Sick video, the work and the consistency of the work are crucial.
I remember how much Ludwig's attempt at proving that becoming a youtube creator wasnt "luck" failed miserably. Luck is definately involved in becoming a rapper and being able to live off the money generated by your music, it also takes skill but you cannot get there with no luck.
No Ludwigs video is genuinely true look a jhcx64
Thank you Kyle. I lately got into production after years of piano and freestyle nonsense just for fun and my friends. This gave me the boost to get at it, as a true Kyleastic myself.. working a full time remote job :)
Wow as an artist of over 10 years this hit home. I think the main thing I had to learn was success doesn’t happen overnight. It’s like I see so many people getting views and recognition I get discouraged and stop promoting and stop making music. This year I told myself don’t quit no matter what. I know I’m talented but my consistency is bad. This video is just beautiful
Just because the challenge didn’t hit, the strategies are sound. Doing this with a backed up catalogue and target songs. Consistent. Bless up artists ❤
V true, they may not like a song but give them more options
even though you made it a fake account, i think you should continue with a Kylastic series
it shows most talented artists are unappreciated. its not luck its about the grind
hmmm
I feel like what actually makes you blow up, is that you have a large toolkit at your disposal, and you can use it consistently. If Kylastic kept rapping and made those vids similar, and had the fire bars and beat switches, that would be his toolkit and the consistency would be shown through many.
The last side Kyle, you really spoke to my spirit. Thank you 🫂❤️🇬🇭
you cooked with this one
I used to always say that luck is where opportunity and skills meet.
I don't have any idea who's ever said that or how and why I started personally saying it, but if you think about it it applies 100% to our careers-
The only key factor in key in our industry has always been time and effort, and it will always be like that.
thanks for watching
So basically it doesn't really matter what you do as long as you sound like Drake 👏👏👏👏👏 very impressive
Wow you really threw for me a loop there. You really proved it's not luck but not in the way I was expecting all. Great video man 🔥
If you got the connections its luck for sure
@ 10:30 Kyle's gf in the background like "nooooo, not the porta-potty!" 😂🤣
Jack Pembrook stole your video blatantly dawg
Bro ever heard of inspiration and its just a vid so like
Am i the only one who thinks the rapper sounds like Drake lmfao
There is no luck, you have to know how to be unique and how to please the mainstream at the same time, then have the marketing, and on top of that, have the patience and willingness to convince people to enjoy your style. Problem here is its also really hard to have people naturally like your unique style. The luck part is revolutionizing this new style and having people naturally like it. That's why artists like Travis Scott are as big as they are.
But that’s luck, you need to be lucky to have the right parents (dna, genes) you need to be lucky to have the right equipment/ chances….you need luck to have the right mindset and timeframe…you need luck to not have physical or mental disabilities..you need luck to have a good voice and a sense of rhythm…life if luck you can change a bit but l….
No
That's luck broski
travis was lucky to be born in a middle class family and not in a toxic household in nebraska
everything it's about
where you are
when you are
who do you know and what you do
that's it.
Someone told me this kind of "luck" is just having the skillset to be able to take oportunities life brings u, to be able to make the most out of them
I love this. Was not expecting that ending when I clicked on this video. Thanks for making this insightful and inspiring video!
Lmao.. "it's not about luck".. proceeds to to 100% demonstrate that luck is a major factor. Also it would be ridiculous to take the word of someone who *did* make it to prove that they *didn't* get lucky. All they have to go off of is their own personal experience of having made it.. and those around them who probably fed off each other. This is clearly a biased outlook
I don't actually see how this video wasn't a success just because they didn't hit their arbitrary goal of 50k. He got comments, the start of a fanbase, and 7k views isn't nothing either. The way you actually make it as a content creator from what I gathered is to stay on the grind, continuing to work and put stuff out there, and I bet if he continued to put videos out there, he would continue to get more and more views, more and more recognition and fans, and eventually one would actually hit viral and things would really take off from there.
I can get 7k views in my sleep, it was a failure lol I've got 4 youtube channels more popular than this
these guys just don't understand that they are lucky to have ANY success, they aren't as talented as they think, not even really close lol
Ok so you've proved it's all based entirely around luck lol
If you quit, you’ll never make it. But if you never give up, you might make it 💯
Thank you for doing this, I was thinking "if they succeed this thing I quit" not because you made it faster than anyone, it's because I was afraid of not being lucky enough to make it somehow, but thank you, this is a fact that nobody can ignore

Jack Bembrook stole your video
Funny I saw a comment on his channel saying KB did the same vid. Whole time KB did it first
Pembrook*
Everyone on youtube copys eachother..lol ... chill bro
@@Itsvivianooodoesn’t mean it’s okay
Love having people who got insanely lucky telling me about how it's not luck 🔥🔥🔥
I just started TRYING to make music because of my little brother. He inspired me because he is grinding and performing at shows and honestly im so proud of him. Him and Kyle Beats are great motivation for me to try and find my sound and what I can create. I am terrible right now but i see growth everyday and if not anything else, its fun to fuck around. So maybe i'll grow my craft like Kyle said but if not, its definitely a fun hobby to try and learn and be creative with.
Read your bible! (KJV, preferably) ❤️😊😊❤
Amen 💯
Lets not forget you are a professional, with professionals to help you, with professional equipment to make it, its luck and grind
the end prove more that this is not luck, this is only sticking to a long term plan and keep grinding, that's not luck, but work and endless dedication
Luck>Talent making a video with a title to prove its not luck just to prove luck is a big part of it and coping about it in the end
Love the realness.... showing 'the harsh realities of Life' ( BP ).... great content 👊🏾
The amout of luck it would take for any of this to happen if you don't have the resources is completely lost of them 😂 i love it though
Bro accept it man it’s hard work, dedication, growth and that pinch of luck. I’m speaking as a gospel saxophonist. It’s tuff out here.
Jus a blue collar who’s working and his girl cheats on em. Nailed it
bro the song is fire ! but we all know who hard it can be to make it with one shot! it's like win lottery. Great experiment!
Luck definitely plays a factor, but will only you take you as far as that luck last. You need skills to stay alive; if you want to grow, you have to invest the time to the grind until it becomes a groove that you can move and that moves you to your next levels. Nice vid, thx!
so you just proved it's all luck
It's a hood classic with that porter potty 😂😂😂 love this video!!
So fucking great! I liked the way you made this video mann! The journey is the fun and true artists do it without any expectations! Its you, your craft, the work and the universe! Im sending all love to each and every artist who has just begun or has made it and to those who dream! Love from India!
Great video. Killah moral of the story at the end. Thanks for not ruining my faith in humanity.
I love what you said at the end man, deep, I felt it resonate within me
Dude u make me feel like i can make this shit…..thanx for the inspiration fham
