I know, but was that a blanket statement or more specific to the hyper-common ones, like Gymnopedie?

I'm referring to stuff like Kevin Macleod

Oh, yeah, fuck that shit. I specifically filter his stuff out when I look through the YouTube audio library for my vids.

Honestly, you could probably get away with using it if a video is unmonetized.

copyrighted music I mean

True, but most of the good background loop sort of music is already open license because that’s what it was made for.

yeah.

Just a matter of not picking the top-downloaded shit.

But I hear Kevin MacLeod's music fucking everywhere.

Have you looked at the YouTube audio library?

once or twice

I just ask because it’s a surprisingly large list of songs; people picking Kevin’s shit have to skip libraries of better beats to get to it.

I don’t blame the guy for his popularity, mind, but... damn, there’s other people out there.

I'd likely just use a hip hop instumental beat, since I consider it the best kind of background music

Yeah

His music isn't even bad

it's just that I practically have all his songs on loop in my head.

because I've heard them so much

I know what you mean; I’m a fan of the lo-fi blues and R&B loops, though I’ve been digging into some of the EDM stuff for my next vid and it ain’t bad at all.

Yeah, I've also fallen in love with this one Biggie instrumental

But especially if I’ve gotta keep hearing it while I edit, I’ll do anything to avoid hearing something that’s already everywhere else.

Yeah, I feel you. I always get a rising desire to groan every time I hear a Kevin MacLeod track.

I love that instrumental because it's so cold. And Biggie's a favorite of mine.

It’s solid as fuck. Pretty much anything Biggie made was, really, much of a perfectionist as he was.

It's kind of hard to talk about how much of a legend Biggie was without someone bringing up 2pac

which I can't talk about because I never listened to 2pac.

Everyone who lives in Canada is a faggot except me of course

You're canadian, by definition you are a faggot.

damn

Well at least im not European

2pac was supposedly pretty good, but I was listening to Biggie too much to care, like everyone else.

"I love it when they call me big papa"

I hear 2pac was an actor like drake and a pussy and all these years I thought he was gangsta

But nah

Morning all, 20 work days till I hand in my resignation

🎉
