[QUOTE=Octopod;53098693]Believe it or not, there's a world of difference between joji's attitude towards making music and the "soundcloud rapper" stereotype. It's perfectly fine to make rap music that sounds nothing particularly special if that's your true passion or something, but to play yourself up like you're going to become the next <insert famous rapper here>; that's the kind of people joji is making fun of.
IMO the video still stands.[/QUOTE]
I know he's not a a complete shoe in for the video, but I still feel like he's inching towards it.

I wouldn't be surprised. Now that he's signed with a label, he's in a position where he doesn't really need to try with his music to be successful. At least that's my theory about his music direction.
I mean he's still a cool guy, but it's really tempting to do everything the easy way when your risk is so low. That's kind of why I never want to make music a job.

I am not really sure why that is the case to be honest, would it not be more logical to take the hardest possible way if the risk is low?

I guess "risk" wasn't the right word. When you're an starting artist currently in the struggle of whether or not your music will take off in popularity or not you need to try to make your music stand out from everyone else. If you're already successful you never really need to do that as much.

Which ultimately seems to indicate that an artist can be defeated by success just as much as by failure in a way, and saying these words automatically makes me want to do crappy Bane impersonations. Not implying that any of this necessarily has to do with this video though.
