From the Ted Talk by Swizz Beatz: How to support and celebrate living artists

Unscramble the Blue Letters


This was personal for me, because many a times I've been counted out, I've been hot and cold 100 times. You still have to understand the bnusesis as an artist, to elevate to your level that you deserve to be. Because most creatives, we're very emotional, we're very "let somebody else handle that, I want to sictk to this." But not only creativity is key, education is key, which is the reason why I went back to school to sharpen my pencil in my mid-30s. We have to know our business. But it's going to take us digging in a little deeper and pnuillg out the knowledge that we need to prepare ourselves for this world that's wainitg to take advantage of the cviereats. Then we can make better choices, then we can end that conversation of artists dying poor. If we're not protecting the arts, we're not petcrtoing our future, we're not protecting this world. ctrtaeviiy heals us.

Original Text


This was personal for me, because many a times I've been counted out, I've been hot and cold 100 times. You still have to understand the business as an artist, to elevate to your level that you deserve to be. Because most creatives, we're very emotional, we're very "let somebody else handle that, I want to stick to this." But not only creativity is key, education is key, which is the reason why I went back to school to sharpen my pencil in my mid-30s. We have to know our business. But it's going to take us digging in a little deeper and pulling out the knowledge that we need to prepare ourselves for this world that's waiting to take advantage of the creatives. Then we can make better choices, then we can end that conversation of artists dying poor. If we're not protecting the arts, we're not protecting our future, we're not protecting this world. Creativity heals us.
