How long you been rapping and why'd you start...
IP:
Not that I care that much... But hopefully someone will say something interesting and spark conversation....
I bet half the cats on these websites dont have a good reason why they started rappin other than "i seen 8 mile and thought I could rap" But well see how it goes.... |

I'd got into poetry a few years before I started rapping...
I heard Biggie's "Ready 2 die" some years ago and that inspired me to start writing raps...I started on some Network54 boards droppin text. Then, I dropped my 1st audio back in 2001...I made one more song after that, but didn't seriously get into recording until 2003...I listened to some haters who said "You don't have the flow/rhyming/lyrics/voice/style for rap" and quit until basically last year. I came back on RV collabing with some cats and reached my stride in August of 2004. From then on, I decided to turn every weakness levied against me into a strength...They said I had no flow...Now, Will Appear and even IKE before he turned bitch says "You have one of the best flows on this site." They said I had no multis...Now, I use multis regularly in my flows...They said I have zero emotion...that's what Im working on now, along with elevatring my delivery. I plan to keep rapping until I drop my Holy Graile, sorta like Jay had with Reasonable Doubt and Nas with "Illmatic" Nuff said |

since middle school I was into writing poetry, stories, songs and what-not...I just did everything on paper and nothing would be long enough for an actual complete song, but I always carried pen N paper with me so once I got an idea I could write it down...I haven't written a poem in probably over a year now, but if I found a topic to really dive into poetically I'd do it, but I think the last poem I wrote was like beyond anything I'd ever written before and I don't feel like I can surpass that so there's no reason to write any more than what I feel is the best I can get...why keep doing something that's gonna end up being worse than something you've already done in the past?...that's MY logic anyway... so yeah, once I came back from the ARMY and wasn't doing anything I told myself before 2004 rolled around I'd start rapping and I was actually battling in text a bit and people were ho-showing me left and right so I figured I'd move beyond that and actually rap...I'd never written to a beat before September '04 and always thought it was such a foreign concept, but I first wrote to the "Lean Back" instrumental and followed the flow patterns on there to stay on beat with my writing...after that I just went from there...lucky for me I've always been a musician of some sort playing insutrments and what-not so I didn't suck at it completely like most do when they first start, my flow was always way better than people at my staGe in rapping...definetly if there's anything someone can say I "can't" do flow won't be listed as one... but yeah, that's my song N dance I guess lol

I originally started when I was 11. We(chuck,the twins,raymond) was in one of the apartment buildings and we was lookin for change so we can buy some noodles. I found a quator under the steps and chuck said he was tired. WE sat there and one of the twins jacaury said "ya'll wanna freestyle". Now none of us ever rapped before, but EVERYBODY was rapping except me. They kept telling me "come on just mess around with it" and I was still sayin no. It was botherin me the whole day to the point where when I got home I wrote 4 pages front and back of raps. Now look at me.. I'm a fuckin genius burger.

first I really got into poetry and read some of the most complex poems ever and I wanted to know so badly how they do it so I started writing myself. not only was it fun but it was educating. my mom was always proud of what I wrote. so I published a poem at age 8 and then started rapping at age eleven because my mom hated rap and I heard the first tupac song ever. so I anted to make my mom even more proud by making hjer like something with what i write.
there ya go. damn should have made it shorter. no ones gonna read. lazy fuck.

Tru tru...
Personally, I was writing on a smaller scale back in 01 and 02.. But I didnt start actually rapping till late 04. I started rapping not for personal purposes, I rap because its my way of addressing issues and getting in the spotlight with the strength of new revolution for the 21st century. I plan on rising to the top of the rap industry in my country and driving it further than its ever been. I been through bad times in my life and I feel that through my experience I am able to teach people new ways of understanding life and the type of things it brings... I write a large amount of rhymes every day and aspire to exceed the currant level of rappers that are considered the best in the world.. Whether I make it or not is irrelevant. If it aint rapping I'll get my message out through movies, books or philosophy... Or a mixture of all.. Even after only rapping for the reletivly short amount of time I been rapping... My elevation happened a lot faster than ya regular cats, its cause I dont fuck around with shitty raps and I learned the art of how to properly write rhymes from studying the best in the game early on...... |

I elivated faster then you.  And our goals are basically the same. I'm usually the type of dude to make huge speeches at lunch and shit over little things. I have alot to say and I know alot of it can help people. And your lyrics are respectable, but I still elivated and no more and I'm better. [/pointlesscompetitiveness] |
