Artist Tips Week 1: Burned Bridges
This is a touchy subject for me, mainly because some people are just assholes and times i dont wanna deal with them at all. But in retrospect, u never know where somebody will be, say 2 years down the line and had u not burned that bridge, u could very well use them to your advantage.
A burned bridge can be acquired a number of ways, but my main thing is just to basically watch what u say. If you giving your opinion on somebody else music, keep in mind they love what they do just as much as you love what u do. So dont only give the bad, also give what u liked about what they do. Just flat out sayin this sucks is a bad move on all parts, no matter how bad the song is. Give a lil positivity in it.
Fucking over someone is probably the easiest way to burn a future bridge u may need. Or making false promises as well. A lot of people hold the word ‘promise’ very high, again, watch what u say.
Now dont get me wrong, some bridges u may just have to bite the bullet and let that bridge burn to hell. A lot of artist try to force feed their music to people and WE hate that. Day after day, week after week, sending/tweeting you wack music after wack music, not even trying to correct some of the things u suggested and expecting your opinion to change. At that point, its just time to let it go and not even care about them, since they not even trying to take your advice into consideration.
With all that said, just choose what u say wisely and know when to JUST give up on someone.
