I got my cousin who's 27 and still trying to rap, it's a damn shame too because he's really gifted artistically. I wish he would have chosen to go to art school.

My homey i know since middle school started rapping 2 years ago
He has no car.......lives with his mom
He refuses to get a job cuz he could blow up any day now( he's 27 with a degree in accounting)
He raps on a label with my wifes uncle who is 37

There good money to be made in music even if your just dropping a mixtape on datpiff or making vids on YouTube

The thing is for that one person anyone heard of there is probably 10 other guys who are just as talented/hard working but never get any shine

The problem is that nikkas is putting all their eggs in one basket.

Most people are music lovers and are passionate about the songs they love. The problem is, that don't translate to be able to make good music.

I love cars, I notice very small details and all, doesn't mean I can build a car others would love and pay for.

This thread is funny as hell

Just cause your Wocka Flocka lyrics didn't impress the 8 people that bought your mixtape, don't shyt on the next man who wanna pursue it
And I know you seen talented local rappers, but turn your head cause it's a reminder of your old dream

LOL @ ignoring an up and coming rapper that sound like Rakim, but focusing on a rapper that sound like Hurricane Chris

Damn I just turned 20 and i feel like i should already be somewhat established, I dont rap tho i produce. Trying to get better at guitar tho so i can play in indie and black metal bands forever

 

[Chris.B]

Look if you don't got a family to support then why does it matter? I mean if you 38 with a wife and kids still trying to make it and dont got no job then that's a problem, but if you got steady income and wanna do it on the side then whats the problem. I work with middle aged 40-50 year old white guys who play in bands on the weekends why do you give them a pass and shyt on a nikka 38 doing shows on the weekend??

rap is a young mans game

I know 2 dudes breh, he's my homeboy cousin. Rap with Midi East out of DC. Dude is cool and all, but he just aint gon make it. I feel sorry for the dude. Studio beating him across the head for studio time. I met him about 6 years ago and he was going hardcore. We went to a couple of his shows way back. The way the crowd was looking at him like he was retarded, I felt sorry for him. Dude damn near 40 now, never had close to a hit. Never says anything memorable or gangsta. He's cool tho, so no one tells him to get it up. What super nice guy rapper that has made it in rap, but isn't super nice on the mic?

The other is my homeboy from Va. He's a player like, but he be rapper on some soft Lupe, Q-tip super possitive vibe, but w/o the skills. I make beats, but gritty south beat, so we don't click. He be wanting me to go to his shows I can't follow someone I don't believe in.

When is it time to hang it up? I'd be embarrassed at 30 telling someone I'm a aspiring rapper.

+1 I know guys like this and it's so sad to hear the delusion to in their voices.

And they need to stop WHY? Explain how this is fukking up your life and your money?

It's sad to see a 30-40 year old still aspiring to become a rapper or a rock star like they're an inexperienced 18 year old kid. They're wasting years, income and potential on a dream rather than providing for themselves and their family in a mature and reasonable way. At some point every man has to grow up. These cats are perpetual children.

 

[FaTaL]

[Chris.B]

These was actually my girlfriend's homegirl boyfriend when I was in college in Louisiana. This classic made Worldstar

[observe]

This is what happens when we pigeonhole ourselves between sports and entertainment.

Too many brothas and sisters chasing pipe dreams with unrealistic expectations and a very small window of opportunity, when they should be chasing a degree and a career.

Even I had to give up my dreams of being in the music game for a career and solid money. It sucks, but the writing was on the wall. Being in NYC makes me realize that there are way too many people doing the same thing and not everyone can "blow up" or make it.

Do it because you love it. Music is just a hobby for me now.

Obama, if the kids mirrored you then we'd all push Maseratis with the silver hue - Nas

75% of the females in my family are "models"...

I would because they are beautiful... but this is the coli... no telling what these wolves would do with them...

Not me though. I'm a big time agent in NYC. Part of the new social media recruitment wave that's going on. Send me their pics, Twitter/Instagram handles and a number I can reach them at, and lets help their dreams comes true.
