I'm just amazed that someone your age can type a legible sentence, much less ponder a "career" as a "rapper."
There are so many more worthy paths for you to pursue. Why waste your talents on such meaningless banter? Aside from getting tail, there's no real benefit from rhyming some words and scratching out a cd player.
Stay in school and forget the foolishness. Get a music degree, if anything, and explore the electronic aspects of music...something that's going to be very neccesary in the future. Movies are going to be made up of electronic characters and "rap" stars will be a programmers vision, not a human being.

you can make anything possible..you have to expand your horizons and spread everywhere, make contacts, upload your raps on myspace get yourself noticed. Nothing is impossible. The thing is you have to be 200% sure thats what you want to do!!! if you keep your foot on one place and your other foot in a different place, it will be hard to move. you have to put both of your feet in the same place and peruse your goals.

it truly is demanding to make it as a rapper. you do not ought to enable bypass of your dream yet I advise you nonetheless proceed on the path you placed forth on your head. you could bypass to a school and major in corporation and minor in track. you could take education the position you produce hip hop songs and ultimately get an internship at a record label. you could continually produce a demo outdoors of school on the weekends and get someone at record label to hearken to it. the more severe case scenario is that you do not make it as a rapper. yet you'll nonetheless have your corporation degree to fall back on. once you've an internship at a sturdy label like Virgin they could grant you a position there and who's responsive to you would possibly want to ultimately become an A and R director or CEO! allowing you to nonetheless artwork in the marketplace that you're obsessed on. wish it quite works out for you. i can't rigidity the cost of having an internship in college. a lot of my pals did it and it quite helped them community in the leisure marketplace. They even were given to bypass to major celeb-studded activities.

You can try it on the side while you go to school. But if it doesn't work out you will still have an education.
