Your friend is probably not bad at making music; he just never found commercial success. Those things are often not even remotely connected to each other. Just wanted to point that out.

Exactly! This is precisely what I mean: social media has intensified these pressures. The idea that you are only a good musician, artist and writer if you have commercial success reflects how deeply capitalism runs in our veins. Despite our reluctance to acknowledge it, we often start believing it deep down 😢
Oh, that sounds great indeed. I was very into grime back in the days. I've basically checked out of UK rap since drill took over though (I've basically checked out of mainstream rap for a good decade by now).
