0:00 [Music] welcome back to another very pleasant episode of care for boys today um the uh I wanted to talk about this question that I received in the JK DMS from someone because I thought it was a very simple question it was very touching that they were asking this but um it's from this guy named Dragon longtime uh JK follower he's an aspiring musician and he had this just this question was literally just like this it just said how do I become famous oh Jesus Christ dude dude do you think we know how to become famous yes there's there's many routes to fame I think you can do the wo Vicky

0:50 ████ you could do the shock yeah you could do you could be known for skills and talent mhm you could be known because people like making fun of you you like you're just a meme you could be known because you did something crazy like wow you public so it's like it's a great video you could be known for breaking the Guinness World Jor one dude where the guy the fake homeless guy he he fights the guy for his janitor's bucket and then he ████ takes his pants down and he's so relieved that's the best part of the video so Rel you know after when I when I found out it was it was constructed I was sad me I don't care itous F dude famous Fame you could be known for having a giant dick during Co there you go who got known for that

1:41 that one black dude whose photo was be passed around everything sitting at the bed yeah he's dead PE hey dude famous Fame bro just stressing out the mattress so um he uh I asked him after he asked me that I was like well why yeah I asked him why do you want to be famous and he he said that like he has dreams of like uh kind of just being a beacon for his people like a community where he wants to put everybody else up the dragon people why what do you mean the dragon people that's his name who's his people no his name is Dragon yeah but who's his people like his like his homies like he's trying to like he's trying to like lift up the all of Cambodia or something Dragon Clan yeah yeah he's doing it cuz he wants to be famous so that's not that's not so I tried so my explanation to him was really like oh famous basically just the byproduct of anything

2:31 that you do that's excelling you know it's something that happens or it doesn't that's a good way it's not always it's not always the uh the positive or negative factor of like when you want just Fame I think you don't know yourself cuz you're basically saying I want validation I want recognition I want attention and that will fix this that would fix look your life looks so good everyone loves you that's what they think but it's fake ████ love you know what I mean like true yeah but it's crazy cuz it is innate though like even Tao would be like oh I want to be famous innate ████ love really I'm like I don't even I don't know how to ask the questions to understand why but there's something about like people want to be rich or people want to be like I want to be the president I was like why he's like so I can tell people what the do so he wants power and then like he wants to have Fame and like these three things

3:21 it's like throughout civilizations just age old they're just things that like if you bestow upon someone like yes give me fame or give me whatever and I don't know what I think it's like be careful what you ask for because grass is greener to everyone right cuz you know how they say like everyone wants millionaire money but they don't want millionaire life they think they do but then you ████ don't challenge me baby ████ T it is also it is also one of those things where I think like if you want to be famous it's kind of like those dudes that uh they want to sleep with a lot of women or whatever right and then they hear another guy go trust me buddy that ain't what you want it's like he wants to be there too he wants to not want it after having had it know those problems so it's like if if you have some kind of Fame and you're

4:11 telling a guy who's not fous like trust me bud you don't want this what I'm dealing with like it's like yeah I kind of do and then I don't you know what I mean like you hear it from like a kid or something like that wanting to be famous or wan to be what like there's an innocence to the excitement of it and I think that's okay there's nothing like intentionally wrong with it I think hear it from an adult is exactly tracking with what Jones you know what I mean it sounds like insecurity yes it doesn't sound like a good goal but in your like young years before you like knew ████ didn't didn't you guys once dream of like hey saying I think there's innocence to it Richie Rich Richie Rich looks awesome I I didn't realize it like if if Richie Rich is going to have a friend over and he slips in the living room and he's going to sue his whole family that's true you know ████ like that you don't think about yep you're thinking about having a McDonald's in your house he touches a boob he'll be cancelled yeah yeah and he should

5:02 be yeah there are things that come with it but I mean it is fun to like when someone asks that it's like there's so many different ways to answer it you know it's like how do you okay well yeah it's technically not that hard if you're willing to not have shame and if it's the easiest way to fame is be shocking also if it's the by product that's why I think most people ask the second question like well why yeah cuz I think once you understand the why of why they want to be famous and it's easier to like create a plan I guess or whatever cuz you could be like I want to be known for being the best singer okay that makes sense cuz it's like your Fame is based on people admiring your skill right but if you just want fame the easiest and fastest way to fame is to be shocking be be provocative if you don't have any talents um if you don't have

5:54 also any worries about what your family thinks about you or Society or whatever one of the easiest ways to attract attention is to be to make a lot of people angry yeah to say crazy ████ yeah and then even like you know opposite from what this guy's saying too it's just like it's like why do you want to be famous oh it's cuz like I think with like that Fame I can like help a lot of people it's like well Fame isn't even a byproduct of being a ████ amazing Civ you know Community member like you can help a ████ ton of people that's true that's a good point famous all there's some Community Heroes that only the community knows them well actually there's actual makers who are like literal campaign managers or people that are managers of celebrities and people that their whole lives is just to lift others up or make them famous and make them successful in their talent so I'm

6:44 like then be a king maker then be someone who knows how to get you know put your homies on if that's what you want to do why do you have to be famous first and then you bring people up this is the whole thing right he wants to be like the guy in his group who's like the guy his name is Dragon which is a sick name it's super sick cuz the O's are the A and the O is an X but it is sick but you have to you have to decide what you want to be famous for first and like then build it from there but like that's always the wrong question for the people who deserve the fame right dude and you don't even know what you're getting into look at Michael Jackson trying to go to a ████ grocery store it's one of the saddest videos I've ever watched in my whole life he's like oh wow what are they what are they doing here wow this is crazy like you watch that ████ and it's like dude Fame is devastating dude it's a curse he had to con that you know it's all friends and family that

7:35 pretended to work at the grocery store so he could experience what the plebs do I'm telling you dude what about like for Dragon if he's like a musician isn't it like if you want to make it in music you kind of have to be famous I don't think so I think if you're uh if so like there's music then there's like music business then there's like music entertainment if you will and I think if you're the true Musician musician your probably dream goal is just to be a session musician be part of the biggest projects but literally no one knows who you are you still have a really good living and the the greats know who you are like quiny Jones like I got to play I got to have that guy play trumpet every single time and you have like the validation from the people that matter but then the everyday bombardment you don't have it I feel like if you're truly after being a musician you'd be a session musician rapper though there's videos of of of lady gagu in like lady G

8:27 piano bars like 15 years ago and like that's what she did and then she just got picked up from there cuz you just have to do the grind yeah there's also there's also like the idea of that same type of Fame it's like one of the most famous uh singers during our generation was William Hung like he got it was Fame there was no talent but there was absolute Fame so it's like you could be that one one person who like if you find a Genie bottle and you're like you want fame as a musician it's like that's the weird curse versus like the idea of wishing for like the talent or for the drive to do well you know what I mean and building Fame from the right product you know you know so I think Fame is it's supposed to be a byproduct if your ████ is dope but if you want that and that's the thing you seek then you might not have the product that's going to back it up the right way also we're only thinking about Artistry right like what about politics what about like science what about all these other things that

9:17 you can be known for because you pushed the envelope in human progress or you did something for society or whatever you could be Elizabeth Warren like how cool would that be y you could be known as as the biggest representative of the N Native American Community that's what I'm saying exactly what I'm saying and a big supporter of banks yep big supporter of borter of banks I remember hearing a story I remember hearing a story about this uh one Indian doctor I think like that who uh when I was working for like cir and they were talking about how he like hired ████ cir to perform at like one of his kids' birthday parties or some ████ like that and it cost like 4 million bucks what the ████ does this guy do he Indian doctor he was he was the inventor of like the um basically the pill capsule that dissolves in your body basically those two plastic pieces that you could put ████ like you know Pharmaceuticals in and then it just dissolves in your body it's like nobody

10:07 knows his ████ name but this guy made billions of billions of dollars and in one sense either supported big farmer or saved lives you know what I'm saying depending how you look at it Rich As ████ could buy and sell me and buy me and sell me again right could pay me to do anything that guy what he's what he did was he sold roller coaster Wheels dude he patented roller coaster wheels and that's ████ those are Stories the guys that make stupid amounts of money un like the Wilder ████ that you wouldn't even imag and no one knows them that's the best well or or they're famous in their industry like everyone in that one industry knows who that person so it's like what is the fame you seek and why or like famous to your peers yeah in your industry yeah but yeah in the roller coaster world that people like shaking taking a picture with them it's could be sick out a roller coaster convention oh God it's ████

10:58 him it's him it's him oh my God the way you designed those Wheels was amazing they don't they don't never leave the track they don't leave the track they don't leave the track you don't understand Mom but because it's really they're so stable so crazy like he solved the problem that they all had we just didn't have wheels so like for him he's a rapper so like I guess in the terms of like in in rap or in like uh even in hip-hop if you're not famous how is your stuff going to work you have to be known but yeah it's not you don't get Fame first people like your music that's why you're famous yeah yeah ex so specifically in his industry it's get people to like your music go to the grocery store say do you like hip-hop hand people CDs if they don't if they if they even touched it they owe you at least $50 don't let them leave rap games specifically in today's

11:49 generation with like social media and the News the way it is too that like yeah if I were to be realistic and objective you would have to push the skill as much as you push the hustle for f for real that is that's I get that the audience is different I think that's what I was going to say I'm like okay cool now we have more information we're getting somewhere I think the rap game is like you know we're talking about music music business Music Entertainment like rap is kind of like a combination of all of those it's like almost how good of rapper you are doesn't even matter how are you good at networking you have the right to collabs all those things so I feel like in that regard when you're trying to make it in the rap game the game is what you need to be good at almost more important than anything else that than what you're doing related to rap yeah I would say that's what it unless you do Mumble rapping then you don't have to be good at all at all yeah but ch ch ch ch that's a song right

12:39 there ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch drippity drippity cheese drippity drippity cheese pepperoni pepperoni pepperoni sting like a bee a bumblebee so good you want to hear some of his music and see if this guy has what he takes watch copyright why are you do dude because cuz you say he's a fan because he's a fan what do we got to say now what we so we'll go around the room and get a a rap review from first that's how you know I have no qualification talk about that's how you know rappers only says the guy with the biggest bling and shades on right now I'm not saying I don't look sick let's get only Steve's reaction but that's how you know rappers annoy the ████ out of the public cuz we're not even willing to listen to like a guy that's like no we're willing we're just so many ████ that are like yo listen to my music listen to my music

13:29 and you're like do you remember there used to be always a comment hey yo I'm a 14-year-old from Ohio I just asked you guys just hear me out here's my SoundCloud link right right right yeah and there's like 2 million 14year olds on the internet commenting that ████ I think with music if it's if it's a banger to that person they're going to ████ like it like it's it's it's going to take off you're going to be fine if as long as it's good like the proof is so here's just as a preface I'm not trolling you guys he's not going to suck like it's not that he actually it's pretty good quality stuff I mean no no no no don't throw any emotional anything anything anyway put some zip on that no I swear I S no I swear I'll be 100% honest I promise give me the shades I need to feel more R God Rap reviews with JK news to me man all right don't

14:20 don't copy don't copyright us for this when you get famous please he's wearing a mask yeah here he is oh it's a music video too yeah it's called No vaccine I used have the same Nike jacket I us have the same Nike jumpsuit actually it was in Gray that's a cool uh yeah [Laughter] yeah okay okay okay right yeah I could yeah I could totally listen to this nice yeah on beat that's a good start dick karoo yep

15:10 jumping on my dick kangaroo let's do it all right Steve Green what do you say I really like it honestly yeah I'm noty damn I thought it was going to really suck No Cap as they say you like that I don't know to me it's like it's really hard to stand out though cuz there's a million ████ doing this same ████ so it's like how do you create a character it's almost like wrestling right you got to create a Persona and a character and and like who it is called No vaccine mhm that's funny no vacine now I get it's funny cuz like the I went through the same roller coaster talking to him cuz I'm like oh ████ don't send me your stuff and it it's going to suck and it's going to be awkward and then I listen I was like hey this guy actually he got something yeah he's like he's musical yeah you could tell he cares he's trying to do a good job he's doing everything he can to make it work JK people good at stuff I'm so glad our fan base is dope

16:03 by the way if he sucked you would have been kind of mean for doing this exactly yeah right okay I there was there was two ways I would have done it where if he really sucked I would have talked you guys up and then played it for you and then just stared you deep in your eyes but even from the video you could tell he cares he has good production trying to make good shots it's just a matter of time unfortunately I have no experience in the rap game if he was a if he was a catch and cook Guy totally M cuz also to be fair I'm a failed musician so I'm the wrong person to ask I made it as a clown but not as a musician your music actually has more plays than some people still try to make it I know huh Dusky Hunters that's fun I have rap songs too the the kind of advice that we're good at giving out is like hey maybe like go get a a van and then camp out in the wilderness and and

16:53 make you know food on a little bench and like get like 45 million views that way cuz you're you're camping overnight and 8° c and while you're cooking rap yeah there you go or talk about it talk about the game I don't know that would be kind of fun yeah I I would agree it's just one of those like um you're good at what you do but if you don't have X Factor or stand out then like you won't be found as all you know what I mean cuz there's a million people there's it's a dime a dozen you know everybody is capable especially in today's world too everybody's capable of doing the craft but like when everybody's good at something it's that much harder to St yeah that's the whole like tea pain argument like people that are just finding out now they're like dude this guy could sing why he autotune the whole time like yeah cuz he was trying to stand out everyone could sing who can't sing style yeah that's why he had to put that on there and everyone's

17:43 like oh ████ that's so different yeah and then they they find out that he could sing now and I'm like if you if you weren't ████ you would have found out he could sing way early on you think that's why the only steady between you knowing this makes actually his question makes more sense to me now cuz he's like how do you become famous is it's probably another word for how do you stand out cuz then it's like true doing the right things his song's not bad like he's doing the right music but now he's just like how come these guys are famous when like these other guys aren't famous but they're legitimate musicians first way to stand out is you can't be wearing an outfit where Joe's like hey I have that outfit hey man I'm the biggest fashionista here come on no Way Joe has a all pink way his was purple cap imagine imagine you guys

18:34 remember popup video imagine popup video but it's hosted by Joe it's like the video comes up and and then the V the bubble comes up it's like I have that hoodie but it's gray the MTV ████ or the is he wearing a mask people watching it's just like this has nothing to do with me just joke personal I used to drive by that hospital Hospital BL I got the same truck in the background I literally was thinking that I have a Tacoma trivia yeah yeah yeah yeah I got the Tacoma but a green dragon you got a lot of different answers I think just keep doing what you we all liked it though right yeah something music you just got to get more out there Ching away yeah man and I think and I think that's something that with time you find yourself more like Don't Force

19:24 It I mean the like they were saying the easier ways are sometimes the most uh soul sucking nah bro so don't give into that GES the craft you got to focus on the craft right yeah yeah you're actually a good musician don't succumb to ████ easy shock ████ you know and that's a guy with rap singles right here make sure you don't get a gray version of that outfit cuz Joe will for sure be like oh I have that I have the exact one don't give Joe an opening is that is that a medium mine was large but I bought it in Japan so technically it's a medium in America that we need another

20:20 bubble
