Yesterday someone said they thought I was killing it in the NFT space because I have visibility but actually Iโm frustrated, struggling and not selling as well as it appears. If youโre in NFTs and feel like youโre going through it, keep going! Even the great Black Dave struggles!

Itโs interesting how people perceive me now that Iโve sold a song NFT for 3 ETH vs like a week ago when I was the same nigga.

Hi! Iโm Black Dave! Iโve been making NFTs since December 2020.
I put together a chart showing all of my NFTs, their availability, price & a link to view/purchase.

I petition the Black NFT community not say โGMโ and say โTop of the morninโ instead โ and see how quickly the rest of the space copies us. Interested in seeing how much Black culture influences this space.

I hate that the prevailing narrative to doing well in music nfts is collaborate, spend a billion hours in twitter spaces & lean into crypto and nft culture in the songs we make.
I donโt like collaborating. I feel like there isnโt a lot of alignment with myself and the artists inโฆ

Something I never see people talk about with 808s is that thereโs no cussing on it at all despite having Jeezy and Wayne as features.
The closest is Wayne saying โishโ but thereโs no Parental Advisory version of this album from a profanity standpoint

A week from today the NFT project for the Jamaican Bobsled Team is coming out, and I worked on that. Itโs been a journey, you have no idea, but Iโm pumped to help the team be able to get to the Olympics next year, with NFT being the main push. Hope yโall support the project.

Quick music NFT take: not enough folks making music are trying to figure out what creates value in the NFT over time. You hear very little about secondary market movement of NFTs that use music as the base.

Would love to enter a music NFT space where people can give other people advice without fucking shilling themselves(!). Just a continued reminder that people keep saying โcommunityโ when they actually mean โcustomers.โ

Hey! My next drop on
@soundxyz_
is on Wednesday, June 8th!
Iโm going to be the first artist on Sound to do a free claim for their music NFT.
This a conversation thatโs been happening in pockets of the space for a little bit, so Iโm gonna give it a go.
Letโs talk about it (๐งต)

141
The next music NFT wave looks like itโs gonna be focused around co-creation. Onchain action driven by more than one person, not just someone dropping a song. Collectives, crews, camps, etc. Been seeing a few platforms and the like pointing in that direction.
32
25
137
Music NFTs will start the next bull run.
26
17
143
Quick Music NFT Take: I think we talk WAY too much about record labels in music NFT spaces for none of us to be signed to a deal.
Who are we getting into these conversations for? Why are we focusing so much on them when they arenโt us?
20
20
140
Hope yโall arenโt waiting on
@catalogworks
or
@soundxyz_
to accept you before you drop your music NFTs. Many alternative paths exist for you and they can be just as fruitful!

I was in an NFT clubhouse room the other day with a bunch of Black artists in the space and someone on stage said โdo yโall feel like there are 2 sides of NFTs on this app?โ speaking to how Black people feel and are treated in the space.

Another verse token soon?
My first one sold for .33 ETH in August
Itโs a token that allows you to get a verse from me at any time on any beat that you send to me.
I consider it a โservice tokenโ that rewards people who believe in me at earlier stages of my journey as I grow.

Todayโs NFT thoughts from me: we should focus less on mass adoption until we have a couple of winners in the communities weโre trying to onboard. I think we should focus on building infrastructure and creating big winners with the people who are here now.

Should we listen to the opinion of web2 music industry folks when it comes to web3 music stuff?
Very few web2 industry folks have convinced me that their opinion is worthwhile in the space.

Quick music NFT take: If you think the music is the utility, put your tracks on Bandcamp & set whatever outrageous price you want. Music NFTs need some sort of utility or else it doesnโt need to be an NFT because it isnโt taking advantage of the technology.

One of my favorite subtexts of music NFTs is that we now have an opportunity to present music as fine art.

Normalize playing your song in twitter spaces if youโre trying to sell us music NFTs. Donโt perform the song for us in the space, play it. Weโre collecting recordings.

The real question about record label DAOs is: if thereโs no secondary market for music NFTs, are yโall really deriving value through holding artistโs NFTs?

As an artist in NFTs, focus on 3 things:
1. Being authentic to yourself
2. Being authentic to the NFT community
3. Respecting (and using!) the technology
I believe this no matter the media, no matter your fame or success. These 3 things are the blueprint.

Imagine being an NFT artist with 31 ETH in your wallet & only 17 NFTs, 14 of which are collectibles, 1 of which is your ENS. Imagine now, being that same person and going on twitter rants about community and how people are fake & donโt actually support each other in this space.

I think itโsโฆinterestingโฆthat the people who spend a lot of money on NFTs are perceived as cooler or more culturally aware than the people making the NFT. In what other sphere does the person who paid for culture surpass the person who made it?
