Are Open Mic NIghts at clubs/bars a good way to start

IP: 1ADC A69C

and gain performing experience/exposure?



Normally when I think of Open Mic I think of poetry...But, I imagine that there are some you could perform at.




Are they a good idea?

This record shop in my area does an open mic every week for all the rap-
heads. I remember seeing a lot of kids start out and now they are mad dope.

It is a good way to gain experience, and to just build up you confidance.

Stay up

Def a good way to gain experience in stage performance and they can give you exposure to an entent, but it really depends how good you are..

If you attend these things and your only decent, ofcouse beyond experience you wont gain a whole lot... But if you can seriously make people go nuts over your raps, style and how you carry yourself overall... Then its def a way to get some fans...

But you needa be doing a hell of a lot more than just hanging round open mic nights if you wanna actually get somewhere with rap.

it depends where you do your open mic nite.

It mite be a rough crowd and if you stutter at all or mess up a little some people aint very forgiving

i suppose thats real talent or real balls.

Mind you to someone of eminems stature if he fucks up, he wouldnt care. I wouldnt if i was as big as him.

But if your small and no one has heard of you, you mess up it could make you look real silly
