Why did ya'll start rapping?
 

Everyone has a reason and i was wondering what is yours. for me it was just cause i always listen to it on the radio and then when i went in to highschool there were seroius battles going on. and won time i was over my friends house who raps. and he taught me the basic of rap so i started writing, i was bad really really bad. i think the reason was cause i only listened to mainstream rap, when i got into hardcore rap my skill got better. So y did you start?

^you still need to elevate....anyway its not so much that you start rapping....you gotta have that skill...you can't just start rapping you have to have talent....thats why we have so much herbs on this site...cuz there just some people that all of a sudden want to rap and they got no talent or skill....and then they call them self a rapper.......

^i was talking about aka....

I've always like spoken word, but when i started listening to ill mc's like canibus, eminem, mc juice, etc.. it made me wanna step my game up. so i started conciously rapping rhymes in multies, trying really hard to think of metas and punches, and i've been on a creative streak ever since.. i can say i've been seriously into hip hop everyday since 2001.. and i don't mean just someone who listens to hip hop, but actually being a part of the culture now..

I was just attracted to rap because of the emcees,flavor, style, and variety of beats in rap, I listen'd to it alot and I wrote my own lyrics, I started usin DMX's kinda flow back in '98 but then i got better with my verses and created my own style..'03 anyways I wanted to become a heard of emcee .. i don't know how that's going down but i'm still up for it.

trigga i had talent in poems and writing before i start and that guy i told you about he taught me how to change a poem style into a rap style. and i no i still gotta elevate and i think i am. i started 1lose the 2wins the 4 lose then 5 wins then 2 lose then 3wins then 3 loses then 6 wins then 1 lose i say that i'm better i don't care what any one else says

i started listenin to rap in yr.7 as soon as i heard luda's rhymes, fuck it was like thats wat i wanna do....and i jsut beeen going since then...i only been on sitez for about a yr though.

^^^^^^ damn u lucky as hell.......... thats good for u man........... i started listenin to rap in 96 right before Pac died...... and my cuz was a big Pac Fan so wen we went to his house after he died he showed us like all his cds and shit and gave us sum...... and i really liked the shit...so i started listenin to rap, especially pac and biggie and the beats is wat really got me.... and then later i was chillin wit my friends (one of em was really big on comps, and this is like a year or two later) and he shows me how u can record ur voice on my comp....... i was really ghetto back then......... i would yell into that lil whole in ur keyboard where it records sound and play the music on my stereo.............. its pretty horrible now that i look back.........lol............. but then i got "Acid" for this school project and found out how to put beats on it......... and got one of those cheap mics.......... then couple years later i got the new acid (convinced my dad it would improve my work) got FL Studio (same excuse) and this is where im basically at now............ horrible........... haha, but i still wanna figure out how i get my voice like Carsons........

creativitie showed me this site at school one day and i was horable, then i elevated....
