I think I have some musical talent
How do I inspire myself to make a great album?
especially when even if I put my heart and soul and immense energy and it only gets 300 plays
If you have some musical talent you should be inspired to make a great album already.

it won't get 300 plays, otherwise you didn't put your heart and soul and immense energy

if you're only making music for the praise
you will not make anything of worth
Talent is a false concept, you can learn and do everything on your own if you work hard enough.
If you really care about your music, you don't measure it in plays. You should make music because it pleases you and not because you want a bunch of listeners.
That's not true. If you want to be heard and have people tell you that you're great nothing is wrong with that dude. You'll find your inspiration eventually

I do have inspiration. I just want more

I agree with this. and it's my cancer that I'm trying to rid myself of. I do care too much what people think. I wish I could stop it

This is false. The Beatles started looking for praise. Bob Dylan wanted praise. Beethoven wanted praise. Kurt Cobain wanted praise. Michelangelo wanted praise. Woodrow Wilson wanted praise.
Wanting to be honored isn't ignoble or narcissistic. It forces us to innovate and become great. This meme of "doing it for the glory is shallow and will never yield results" needs to die.
I don't know anything about music(can't even play a single instrument), all I have is this shitty laptop to make music. People tell me they love my music and I get 500+ plays a week on soundcloud..
Still uninspired, what the fuck is wrong with me?

well the problem is that I don't really enjoy anything due to depression.

i love this argument, I'll simmer on it for a bit
do you like stalker by tarkovsky?

None of that is true, especially not Dylan or Cobain.
An artist who REALLY wanted praise was Brian Wilson, namedrop him if you want an example for your gay little post.

It can and will if you have no presence anywhere.
