Make it in rapping?
 

I'm just wondering what audio heads here are actually trying/going to try to make it in the music industry for rapping.

Because often when I'm leaving feedback I feel like I'm wasting my breath if I give advice to people from an industry perspective when they might just be rapping as a hobby and have no actual plans on taking it any further than the net.

Its just something I been thinking about because most of my feedback I give on songs is talking realistically whether or not people can mold their style into something that will make an impact (even the slightest) on the rap game.

Be realistic in this thread.. Everyone has dreams, but unless you have the practical knowledge to pull it off.. You wont get anything off the ground.

I sorta wanna know what peoples plans are for getting famous.. And hopefully we can all learn a thing or two from other peoples perspectives.. And please, if your an idiot with no opinions of your own.. Dont post in here..

Thanks..

me.........

through getting involved in the rap scene of the UK....already getting involved in the London grime scene and attending freestle competitions regularily...im hopefully gonna do it from the bottom up....the streets first, if that makes sense...trying to get radio play...already getting some pirate station play - through live freestyles over beats and features on other Mc's tracks....

I'm Trying To Make It...

If Not As An Artist, I Will Either Want To Become An A&R or A Ghostwriter.

But Yea, Mos Def Try To Get Signed and Put Out My Own CDS.

~R~

i am...since im from stl...we've already had representitives from derrty ent...to talk to us and shit...there waiting for our demo :thumbup: ...

I'm just tryna get my name out here, nah mean. Battles, tracks, prolly start making a mixtape around spring...make money off that, FEEL ME?

yeah i wanna go far in rap...i mean i'm young...i still have lots of time to elavate my audio...and right now for my age i think i'm good....nothing crazy....but i think overtime if i stick with this.....i could go far and possibly make.....not as a Big Chingy Typer character but just underground and sum radio play like AZ

Well im just ding this as a hobby so yeah...

but whether your doing it to get famous or for fun i believe everyone wants to get better .......so yeah....and keep droing feedback and shit..it helps

Me....

Just a Hobby, But....If the oppertunity ever occured I would take it.

I have another career where I make plenty of money.
I rap because it is summin I enjoy doin.
Im not retarded an think Im the next big thing.

But I still keep it in the back of my head that some day in a crazy way, it could possibly take over my main career.....

But its basicly, a dream....
Not what Im relying on to enjoy life.

even if i never go sumwut mainstream...or even famous on the underground...as long as i can support my family off of rap...then ill be happy wit my life...

im tryin to make it.......

when i get this little mixtape deal off the ground...here in prolly a month or 2....i plan on making a trip to Atlanta for the weekend....and selling this mixtape on the strip where the underground mall is n shit...rap scene is pretty big there...ima prolly sell it for about 3$.....havent decided yet...ill of course sell it around my hometown...and ill make a couple quick trips to nashville to sell it.....but if the Atlanta thing is successful....i may make more trips to various cities around.....STL, where my dad stays in alabama..should get mad sales there....bunch of people know about me......but yea basically im hoping to get my mixtape out enough to where someone in the game will hear it...and possibly contact me...but if not its no big deal...as long as people are hearing me....ill be happy...

i wanna make it but as far as makin it to be famous i could careless i love creatin i love writing i love makin music for people to enjoy so weather its mainstream or underground or w/e ima always be doin it...=1=

Word.... I'll move to QLD hopefully soon... Its just, if I quit this job I have no income... So ive gotta make a bit of a stash...

1. Mixtape
2. Move
3. Promotion
4. Contact some labels n' shit.

from what i have heard on this site i think u and 9th and the Q (on a few tracks) really are good ... i been sorta a talent search in the twin cities area for a year if i find someone i like and has a good sound (no matter what genre) i will talk or slip a demo to ppl... i been critique'n for a while.. but hey get at me i would like to hear some more of your stuff

be a ghostwriter .. no offense but u need alot of work on your skillz and u need to mature alot more in your spits...go do open mic nights for say ..o... a few months and then do audios

no hate, but most of the audio on hear i feel is wack, and the people who are actually good, just do it for hobbies, as of me, i do it to try and get big, in a lil while well be getting radio play, talking to labels, and other things...but chea, im really serious about this shit, and its like my whole damn life...but i dont post my shit on soundclick, but will start doing some collabo's....werd, 1...

....werdness....

^ finally someone with some sense haha.. i have my fall back plan to .. advertising..

^ id do too, im finna be a damn vet or a&r if i dont make it, which ima try my hardest to do

me...rap is the only thing im concentrated on...so if i dont make it...im gonna end up dead or in jail prolly...or just a bum...

^just take my word for it. u'll end up a bum. trust me. i know these things. u wont make it in rapping.

^tust me...ive got a better chance of making it then u..."trust me"..."i kno these things"... :thumbup:

na.. this is just my pass time.. of course i do little charity shows and shit.. like for cancer round my area and in a state over and shit.. like parties dedicated for a better cause..

but as of making it, na.. now if someone came to me and was liek i want you to be my project and you get free studio and elevation tiem and shit.. id be liek fuck yea.. but my music is mostly for me and my friends/girlfriends.. not in it for the profit

^^^ Word.....I guess we're in the same boat. If the opportunity presents itself, I might take it up, but otherwise, this is just for fun :thumbup:

I do take it pretty seriously though

yup yup... me too me too.

my fall back plans are working with Computers,Writing,and art

I got signed and make some money doin this, but I got a full time job I'm working at. I'll always have that and it's where im trying to move up in life. But for now, I'm making some nice cash on the side with a small label in Canada, and will contine to work on this, cause I want to start my own label, and produce beats for a living. I'll make enough cash with my work and rapping to be able to build my own studio in about a year. Now if I start making more rapping than my job? I'ma quit right now and go full bore. But till then I'ma keep wasting my vacation on trips and such. lol.
