Make it in rapping?

IP: FA43 CBD3

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....

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.
