@Motorbass303 Lyrics and song took a few days (It took longer than you'd think to make the beat, even though it sounds simple, since it had to fit with the lyrics), took about a week to get the video right.
What took the longest, though, was watching through both 50 cent's back catalogue and the entirety of TED talks so I could nail the arrogant but educated vocal style.

@klitikat The lyrics are all on my site if you want to follow along more in-depth :) Link in the description!

This really just goes to show that the ability to compress complex ideas into a fluid, rhythmic, rhymable format is more difficult than simply twisting knobs.  You notice this isn't a tutorial on how to generate coherent thoughts in rhyme form.

I dont think youtubers nowadays have this talent of making music as the video goes on.

@scots79 I've made 2 full 7 day tutorials explaining how to do that. Check my channel's playlists or my website :)
