Practice more, and try to overcome it, if it continues then rapping isn't for you

Try it in the microphone first. It turns out that people who stutter do not stutter when they are on the radio talking to an abstract audience they do not see. Not only have psychologists known this for years, I know this to be true from my own experience. It's said that stutterers don't do it talking to their pets, either.
A friend of mine in college was one of the worst stutterers I have known. He was a brilliant guy, but really bad stutterer. On Friday and Saturday nights he was the DJ for the campus radio station. Talking into the microphone over the airwaves he never stuttered. Only when talking to people did he stutter.
See if you can rap a recording. When it comes time to perform, see if they can spotlight you on stage really bright and keep the house lights off so it's impossible to see the crowd. Then it's just you and the microphone.
Good luck! I hope these tricks work for you!

Go to a speech therapist who specializes in treating stuttering or work through the book "Self Therapy for the Stutterer" published by the Stuttering Foundation of America and available at many public libraries. Check www.stutteringhelp.org for the e-store if you want your own copy.

Be the first stuttering rapper! Or you can try those programs that help people quit stuttering. They have some Cd's at my library you can check out...so they may have them at yours. OR if you can afford it purchase some hypnotherapy cd's that help you to quit. OR even best check out this website : www.stuttering.org and beg your parents to let you be in a program that helps you to quit.

OK, I have 2 answers:
-there are many people who have successful therapy to help improve (and sometimes even fix) stuttering issues.
-Go with the stuttering! Make it work for you. There was a band in the 70's called BTO (Bachman-Turner-Overdrive) who had a song called "you ain't seen nothin' yet." He sang...
"b-b-b-b-baby you ain't seen nothin' yet." He actually had a stuttering problem.
Good luck with whichever approach you chose!

Try to use the stuttering to your advantage. It would be a new spin on the genre.
