In today’s video we’re going to explain why:
You Won’t Start A Rap Career Until…
You implement this key step in the process to become a rapper.
As someone who literally went from writing raps with no beats in my mother’s basement to being paid six-figure to travel the world to 15 countries as an artist…
I hope this quick guide will be of use to you.
With that said, let’s not waste anymore time and start by explaining…
Why Most Unsigned Rappers Fail
When you’re thinking of how to start a rap career, much like anything in life, you need to break it down into steps.
First, you need write and record enough rap to become proficient in the skill…
Then you need to master the art of song structure and formatting it into a hit formula…
Then you need to start promoting the music you’ve made and so on.
However, many unsigned and amateur mindset rappers through this process because:
They Treat Each Step As An “Event”
Meaning they treat each step as so “do or die” that they waste value months or even years trying to be perfectionist or do it perfectly.
They overthink how “important” each step is and hesitate, pump fake, or frankly half-a$$ the step so they can blame anyone but themselves for their failure.
That inability to incorporate climbing the ladder to success in a rap career is what separates the amateurs from the professionals.
What this really comes down to is…
Amateur Rappers Say “I Want To Be A Rapper”
While…
Professional Rappers Say “I Am A Rapper”
For an amateur, what we like to call “bedroom rapper” they spend more time ‘dreaming’ about the results of becoming a rapper…
Stuck in that “I want to be…” or “I can’t wait ’til I am” portion of the step-by-step process to start a rap career…
Whereas professional, full-time artists like I can became once I took this seriously…
Are too busy:
TAKING THE STEPS TO ACTUALLY MAKE IT IN RAP
Therefore, if you actually want to start a rap career and do this full time…
The #1 mindset shift you need to take, and this is what change I need to make if I wanted to be for real is:
See Rap Is A Lifestyle Not An “Event”
In other words, the act of music creation, recording, and promotion is WHAT YOUR LIFE LOOKS LIKE MOST OF THE TIME…
And everything else… even doing to eating and sleeping…
Is built AROUND that.
Don’t believe me? I mean look at one of the most heralded rappers of the 21st century, J. Cole talk about how GUILTY he felt if he didn’t spend at least 12 HOURS in the studio each day… yup 12 F$#ING HOURS:
“I remember Pharrell, one of the first times I had worked with him he was like telling me how he had his life on a schedule.
I was probably 24, 25 when he said that. And I remember feeling like, ‘Man that’s weird’ ’cause I remember being in the studio all f**king day like…
If I stayed in the studio anything less than 12 hours before I had kids… it was a FAILURE”
So look, if you really want to take the leap and become a successful rap artist…
You NEED to start seeing this as a lifestyle.
From Regular Guy To Touring Rapper
Now that you’ve already heard this from a multiplatinum global superstar…
Let’s put this in perspective from me directly, someone who is not world famous but was and is able to do nothing but rap all day if I want to.
When I was in high school, freshman year, I remember getting my grades back from my English teacher who said that while I was a good student…
She would consistently see me “writing rhymes”, “choruses”, and other “music related materials” over the course of the semester.
I WAS 14 YEARS OLD AT THIS TIME.
I hadn’t even been rapping a year and I was already full obsessed… it was my lifestyle.
In later years in high school I can remember making my first dollar off rap purely by being known as someone who raps and school student groups would use their small budget to have me perform…
Again this is before I had ever even released a song.
THAT was a lifestyle even back then…
And yet I know this isn’t something wild to flex on, like…
“Oh wow you got paid a few bucks from a student group”…
But YEAH DUDE…
THAT’S THE WHOLE POINT.
