How 2 be a good Rappers:Problem & Solutions

• The Hobby Factor :-Millions of people around the world play poker. Of those, only a few thousand are professional. The remainder would probably like to be...they sincerely like the game, yet they don't have a passion for it...for them, poker remains simply a hobby.This is the case with a good many aspiring emcees. They love rap, they have favorite rappers, know all the words to their songs but in reality, hip-hop is simply their hobby - enjoyable entertainment. Even so, there is nothing wrong with this.
  There are a good many rappers who are successful and yet don't take rap very seriously.Rap is made a hobby by others because they are afraid to fail at it...Remember this! And it applies to everything you do; Success is achieved only after many failures. If you can't handle failure, you're not ready for success.Make rap a priority, set some time aside to dedicate to it. This doesn't mean "forget all your other responsibilities, but do write every day. Writing every day sounds very simple, agreed, but it is rarely practiced. The practice becomes understood to be "write a hot verse/song every day"...which it is not.Rap with a hunger...like you literally need it to eat! Don't treat it like a pastime. Whether you end up becoming a successful musician or not, the time you dedicated is never wasted.
• The Experience Factor:-This problem is very common among new rappers. A lot of new emcees are hesitant about what to actually write about because of a lack of experience. They haven't really seen the world first hand. It's hard to write good raps when you don't really know yourself yet...because part of what a rap does is communicate to the listener the personality and character of the rapper. Still, not knowing who you are is nothing to be ashamed of. Have fun, live, read, and think about who you are.
  The best way around this obstacle, really, is just to put yourself into various situations, open your ears to knew ideas, learn your history, etc...All the while asking questions, analyzing things, finding out what in this world matters to you...
  Everyone gets around this problem eventually, but for many it's too late. Try to understand who you are at any given time, and spit your rhymes in that image...amped up a few notches...that's what makes it art.
• The Focus Problem:-We've realized that a lot of people who are interested in rapping are simply naturally artistic and expressive. An aspiring rapper, for example, might be naturally more skilled at or inclined to being a poet, novelist, journalist, public speaker or other type of musician. He or she might then decide to pursue an interest in rap, essentially ignoring their other talents. Stay on track and stick to what you're good at.
  This not only applies to the above-mentioned outlets of expression but ANY outlet of expression. Dance, art, ANYTHING. You will learn tremendously from these.
