5 Beats A Day For 3 Summers - Kanye West

When Kanye Mentioned these lyrics "Imagine locking yourself in a room doing 5 beats a day for 3 summers..." in his song 'Spaceship' on the College Dropout album; many people doubted the truth of this statement. What these people did not understand was that before Kanye signed to Roc-a-Fella Records and became a star, he was producing beats mostly for local artists to make a name for himself and practice his craft.

This took a lot of hard work & dedication, while coming up in the rap game young Kanye West did not put a huge emphasis on things like 8 hours of sleep each night and eating 3 meals a day. Instead the rapper/producer locked himself in his mommas basement and made beats until his spaceship arrived. I guess now you can say he is living the Good Life.

Moreover, actions like this are very similar between successful people...Their unbelievable dedication and hunger for success is what made them successful. They go harder and want success way more than the average person looking for success does. The true entrepreneurs don't care about what their peers are doing or their current situation because they know that where they are is not where they are going to end up.
