Question

I'm new in the industry and very shy, what can I do to remove this shyness?

Community Answer

Talk to people, as many people as possible, especially people you don't know that well. The more you put yourself out there, the easier it becomes. Practice your rhymes with your friends and make some YouTube videos. Don't worry, everybody's shy at first.

Question

My current rapper name is JC Explicit. After two albums and a car crash, I decided to make a new album called Red Cross (Eminem inspiration, Recovery). I nearly died in that car accident and decided to not have my lyrics be as "explicit" as before. Should I change my name?

Community Answer

No. You don't need to change it, but you can make another name for your alter ego that is the you that you are now after that accident.

Question

Apart from Eminem, do people who rap about real stuff and not girls or money or fame get to the top?

Community Answer

Sure. There are lots of examples besides Eminem, including Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Lupe Fiasco, J.Cole, Kendrick Lamar, etc. Be yourself, rap about the stuff that's important to you. Don't focus on getting to the top, that should be secondary to expressing yourself.

Question

I'm a kid and my name starts with a J. Any suggestions?

Think of something with Junior, because you're a kid. For a name to put after Junior, think of something you like; for example, Junior Joy. Make the first letter of each word the same.

Question

Is it a sin to name myself Messiah?

Community Answer

Some people will be offended, but that's almost always going to be the case, so you should decide whether or not you personally find it offensive. If not, you should decide whether or not you're willing to endure criticism for the name from people who do find it offensive.

You can try something like "Real Ethan G," because you are keeping it real, and you are a "G" (or you will be soon).

Question

Is Widower Hourglass a good name? My brother says it's too long.

Community Answer

It's kind of a mouthful, meaning it's difficult to say. Rap names are usually shorter. Also, it doesn't really mean anything. Try coming up with something that actually describes you or relates to you in some way.
