Question

How can I be a famous rapper if I live in poverty?

Community Answer

The best thing to do is to just use whatever you have available to you. For example, if you have a phone or tablet, use that to record yourself rapping and post it online. If you have another phone or tablet, or even a laptop, you can use that for your beats. You don't need expensive or high-quality equipment to start rapping. Just use what you have!

Question

How do I start rapping?

Community Answer

Start off by clearing your throat and freestyling alone and with your friends. Move on to writing rhymes yourself and start recording your rhymes with or without a beat. Make demos and improve the timing and pace of your flow.

Question

How do I start recording professionally?

Community Answer

Look online for a local recording studio and see how much studio space costs. If it's way out of your budget, talk to the owner and let them know that you don't have a lot of money. They may be able to accommodate your needs at a lower rate. If that doesn't work, see if any friends are sound engineers or have a recording studio in their house.

Question

How do I post my beats from YouTube to Soundcloud?

Community Answer

If you have them recorded in a file, you can post them that way. Soundcloud asks if you have a file of it, but if it's your video on YouTube, you can download it back if you have posted already on YouTube Studio.

Question

How do I develop my own style of rapping?

Community Answer

From someone who has been rapping for a few years, the best way is to start out by imitating about 5 to 10 rappers. So choose a few (mine were Eminem, Royce da 5’9 , Inspectah deck, twista, mf doom, and hops in, just in case you need help finding a few). Make sure you like the rappers you listen to. Eventually when you rap, you will start to form a composite sound of these rappers that is all your own. The worst thing you can do though is change your voice dramatically using auto tune and other pitch correction software, and it's also not good to follow trends on your rapping subjects. Rap about things you can relate to (hardships, etc.)––stay original!

Question

How do I become a famous rapper if I'm white?

Community Answer

It doesn't matter what race you're in. For example. Eminem is white and he's in the 100 Greatest Artists of All time. Or Tupac Shakur. He's black and he is also in the 100 Greatest Artists of All time. You're a good human, so do your thing with your talent.

Question

Should I become a rapper if I really want to even though my dad says he will disown me if I do?

Community Answer

Is your dad serious when he says this or is he being jocular in that way dads have of trying to dissuade you from doing something they're worried won't be very helpful for you in life? Ask him why he doesn't want you to be a rapper. Maybe he has some valid reasons. After hearing him out, you can decide but wait till you're old enough to make your decision and survive on your own.
