Do you rap? / myLot

If you think you have what it takes to be a famous rapper, give it a shot! But first, you need to be sure that's what you really want. I've always wanted to become a singer, but my bigger dream is to be a lawyer, so I chose the latter. Post your videos on YouTube. You just might get discovered. Good luck!

THANKS a lot! :P Well... that's really cool.... but what I really need is not support, but I need someone to point me to resources that will make me a better rapper. :P I'm not thinking of being famous AS a rapper. It's just a hobby. I just want skills that will IMPROVE me as a rapper... Any help please?

Perhaps what my vocal coach told me when I was just starting can help you as well. He told me to choose a certain style to imitate and that my choice should be that of a singer whose voice quality most likely resembles mine. I did so. After I have mastered her style, I eventually learned to develop my own style. Now I'm continuously trying to improve my voice. When you have what it takes, the next thing to do is to get yourself exposed. Rap in school programs, join rap contests, send demo recordings to record companies, post videos on youtube... the avenues are infinite.

You probably figured this out already by using You Tube to upload your rapping talent and then figure out how to get traffic to your video by hook or sneaky mans, Traffic as u know is the key to discovered talent, like Justin Bieber or even Marie Digby,2 examples of using you tube n got famous generating millions of hits to their uploaded videos and subscribing.

Hmm... so... should you show your face when you make videos like that... or not? Because.... I think people might become racist.

I know that rapping has a lot of rhymes. I recommend you buy a book with rymes for different things. I have one, example of what is in it: Things that rhyme with I:Pie, why, Tie, Cry, My, Hi, Lie...etc...

Hmm. Apparently having a rhyming book helps... well. I've got one. The problem is actually learning how to rap... and perhaps work on me writing good lyrics. Any help on that one?
