People say “I’m ready” but when the opportunity comes, they brutally blow it‼️

Closed mouths don’t get fed and lazy hands don’t touch bread

What’s up Good People! Hope everyone is well. I want to ask y’all something: Did anybody see that post Robert Glasper made about musicians and singers over-doing it? What’s your thoughts on it? Personally, I loved it. It was real and it was good advice. If you’re a working musician, let’s be honest: Chops, chops, chops — how has that really worked out for you? Did having chops get you the gig you wanted? Or help you keep the gig? I love chops. I love when somebody can pull from the bag. But a lot of musicians don’t know how to use their chops in context. Most musicians overplay. Wrong time. Wrong space. Wrong moment. Let me ask this too: Do you think chops actually matter on a gig? And if they do matter — what type of gig are we talking about? What type of musician are you striving to be? Should your chops reflect that goal? Or should your chops reflect what the music needs in the moment? Let’s talk about it. Sound off below. I want to hear your real thoughts. I attached the video for anyone who hasn’t seen the Robert Glasper clip.

Trust the timing in your life. Patience is part of the blessing
