Can you start rapping at 17?

Question

have recently turned 17 and have always planned to get a good education and have a rewarding job in some business industry (parent expectation). At 13 yrs old i started listening to rap & hiphop music and immediatly to a liking to it, becoming influenced by the music and its artists. Turning 16 i started to take rapping into a consideration for a career as i started rapping at home and friends houses.I know of the complications and difficulties of getting into the hip hop industry and becoming a rapper, but still want to pursue the career cause of the passion and skill i have for the music. is it worth contuining at 17?

Answer 1

No you have to be 18!

Answer 2

it all starts with passion. doesn't matter the age. i've been writing rhymes/poetry for the past 11 years. i'm 25 now. i'm always at my best when i write everyday. pursuing the career takes a long time. you must have the ear for music. not just rap. but great music. if you're gonna start writing, write about what you're passionate about, not whats gonna make you sound cool. when people hear your passion it'll sound great.

Answer 3

Look at lil bow wow he was younger than that when he started. All you can do is try if you want to. But as you said its complicated and difficult. If you find it to be too much at one point, you may need a back up job.

Answer 4
