If u want to rap then go rap. If u aren’t good get better. It’s a grind and everyone starts in a different spot there’s no destiny to it. It’s a matter of what you want and how much work you’re willing to put in to get there.
@@HowToRapOfficial Sorry i don't understand what you wanted to sai with "5-6 hours of waiting each day" waiting what? I hadn't understood. ps Sorry for the bad english i am italian(Maybe this Is why i hadn't undersood everithing)
Ad3l it’s because he doesn’t have any meaning he’s just there he doesn’t try to change the world or anything he just posts music to post music he’s just in it for the money
I have one to add, finding yourself so invested in the beauty of language and the different ways of using words, and being in love with how words can be used to explain a lot of feelings and thoughts
It felt like you were describing me word for word! I can't wait to start rapping!! I have more drive and passion than anybody I have ever met, I just need practice. Thank you for this, it helps me feel confident enough to actually pursue it. Keep up the great work!!
How To Rap is it good I live by this and I’ve told other people to live by this you don’t need any money just get some headphone/earbuds with a mic download these apps rapchat, tune me, bandlab, GarageBand, and etc at least 6-10 years and you need to get a full time job to build a studio from the ground up and work from the bottom to the top only until you start making enough to pay bills and get food just to get by without struggling
I think one note of knowing is being able to perform under pressure, alot of people freeze up when other people ask them to rap or freeze up when people ask if they rap, and alot of people freeze up and get nervous so I think thats one to note as well
To me writing down my thoughts helps a lot, bc when I write a song about something I felt in the past it's harder ( like a break up or bad day) but in the time when I write it down I can easily look back at it and create it into rap form Love these videos by the way man 💯💯
if you wanna make music and rap after you watched this video go and write some lyrics and get that shit, motivation and confidence is key in the music game, i hope the best for everyone.
I definitely have a sense of humor, I am charismatic, I'm a hustla, I'm good at rap, I was also told I have a distinctive voice so I am confident will I be a rapper‼💯💯
Damn! I'm an aspiring rap artist, before watching this video I was nervous that It might point out that this is not my thing but to my surprise this video ticked all the boxes, yo! That's me in 12mins. thanks a lot this gives me the fuel to keep going!
You know all the SoundCloud rappers nutted when they saw this in they recommend Edit: I got these signs but I got to much anxiety to try it. I've only shown one or 2 friends
Well anxiety or not, what's the absolute worst thing that could happen if you showed it to other people? Imagining that, then going even worse and finally do even worse than that. When you think about it the thing you were anxious about isn't that bad after all.

Bro number 10 is true asf i got through some dark times and the only thing that got me through it was making music literally every time i was ib the studio i found my peace again
What really hit me was the one about rapping in tough times. It really feels like im completly powerless in my life. But i can do anything and be anyone in my music. I love it with all my heart.

Then I re-read the title and was like “oh OH” then I was happy 😊 I still made the rap, talk bout six flags cuz that shit felt like a roller coaster
Im 15 and I believe I do more than most adult up an coming rappers. I work on my music everyday for a good 3-4 hours, freestyle over like 5 different beats, and watch your videos to try and improve lol. I'm getting better still stumbling, but of course everything comes with practice. im always trying to reach more people, and get more connections in the game. Im going to the top I feel it 🔥
over the course of the past year and some change i've put in a total of 37 1/2 hours of actual rapping time. i don't expect to become a big rapper i just want to express myself. i started rapping at the lowest point of my life literally on the verge of suicide and just writing the lyrics helped me overcome depression. i then found myself wanting to get better at rapping because it's honestly something i enjoy doing at any time of the day. my current life situation isn't the best and it can be disheartening seeing zero progress financially but it's my fault because i procrastinate as a "bedroom rapper". not to say that my skills as a lyricist haven't gotten better because I've made leaps and bounds. i took a look at my first ever rap song i wrote at the end of December 2018 and compared to one i wrote today, the flows and the lyrics are just so much better. just believe in yourself and keep going. oh and if you read all this then i thank you for your time.
Dang dude, I feel you. I gotta lot of shit to say and I align with it all, but I have been alive for 1.) Not wanting my loved ones to be broken and wish they could've done something 2.) Somethings been holding me back, I should've been dead over a number of circumstances so many God damned times, 🙏🏼 and as much as I hated I wasn't, I feel this is my purpose and passion in life. Idk if this resonates but sometimes it takes losing everything (mind, sanity, toxic relationship that held be back from doing this but will now inspire and fuel the fire 🔥, will to live, job on the line, fake friends, etc lol there's a lot) to realize what you're inner truth and meaning/ purpose is. I wish you well my man, I know this is 3 years later but, you'll find your way and time, hang in there. ❤
@@emilyrose6546 never expected a reply on this, never expected to be back to this video but i appreciate the kind words, and thank you for empathizing. these days i have real direction, purpose, and motivation in my life. i still rap for fun too, hundreds of hours of rapping later and i'd argue i'm pretty good at it now. i'd like to think you came to this video for a reason, i assume you rap too. i hope you keep up with it, it's so damn important to express yourself and make some noise out in the world. it took me a long time but believe it or not that wasn't even my lowest moment the previous comment refers to. at my lowest day my willpower became unbreakable, and my drive tenacious. hell i got out of my own way, cut all the b.s and toxic people out of my life, and came to terms with shit i just cant change and i'm better than ever. i wish you all the best as well, keep ya head up.
Expected the comment section to be full of bars from rappers or just trolls. But as a scrolled it’s full of actual supportive dope people from all walks of life. A nice little community here, I dig it. 💯💯💯
U expected bars but u saw support/ I'm bout to ball but not on a court/ but I don't want a Porsche, just a house with a porch/ humble like kendrick I'm leaving em scorched!
I'm from Jamaica and I'm still living in Jamaica out of a 100 percent 95 Jamaicans told me I ain't gonna make it in rap because of our country don't listen rap ......I keep tell people I believe in my dream an I believe in Jehovah god that I'ma make it I already started to make my own bed room studio I buy an audio interface already it took me a while to save the money but I won't give up I told myself I'm a rapper an I'm gonna make it ...It maybe take a while but I will ‼️
The stresses and things you'll miss dont really stand if you can stand by who you are as a person and not let the fame consume you that is key when trying to become famous, know who you are and never forget
Yes, thank you! Stick to your truth and it'll all flow at the right time imo. A lot of people don't make it because they're writing about things that they haven't actually lived or felt, just superficial things, you can hear the lack of passion, when you stand by your originality and truth, the passion lies inside you and you can hear it in the way you write/spit.
I lose motivation to rap on a constant basis I never know what to rap about or write about and alot of instrumentals I find these days dont spark any kinds of feelings or thoughts in my brain I've been writing for years but I dont write consistently because I get bored of it quickly I simply dislike the lines I come up with and feel I dont have any discernible form of swag or style to make it pop Personally I feel I need a very specific kind of sound but I haven't found it yet and idk what to do Theres like a cell in my that still wants to do it but the rest of me is indifferent to the craft The videos are slowly helping
Thats because you push your self to write trust me just write when you want and it will go by itself just i do it this way i just surf on youtube and somehow i end up with free beats after that i listen some of them when i find someting i really like the flow comes and i just record a mumble version of it and try to write over that flow on a more lirical way.
Yelawolf I try to write and I feel like an idiot, I freestyle and I smack, but at as soon as I click record everything flys out my head and I go through this repetitive cycle of repeating the same bullshit just in different ways. It’s ridiculously annoying bro, I feel like I’m good but then I get all nervous or something, I hate it!
I match with basically all of these things. I just have issues with liking my own music. I dont have a producer so I just get beats from online and write to them but I'll write lyrics and then I feel like they sound stupid. Because I have an issue constantly comparing myself to successful rappers that I like
well i know i can grind very well because i went from one of the lowest level called 'mavo' in the Netherlands to one of the highest levels. Called "vwo" mavo-> havo->vwo so that was my grind. I love to write poems so that is also why i thought about rapping because i have been following this channel for a year now i think and i just love music. Just need practice for my flow and find a good beat to let out my emotions. Thanks Drew for all the tips. You are a great help in this journey, if given the opportunity, i will credit the hell out of you mate. You deserve it! Keep going with ya great work.
Hey drew this is the thing I’ve been living by even tho I’m only 15 you don’t need any money just get some headphone/earbuds with a mic download these apps rapchat, tune me, bandlab, GarageBand, and etc at least 6-10 years and you need to get a full time job to build a studio from the ground up and work from the bottom to the top only until you start making enough to pay bills and get food just to get by without struggling
How To Rap the main reason I said you don’t need any money one of my homies from Michigan who still lives there he has 20k followers on Instagram sells out shows when he goes on tour and he runs his own label but his first project called revolver was recorded on his phone and it wasn’t bad at all
This is how im doing my raps right now. I'm using Apple Earbuds as a mic and I use GarageBand. I use beats my friends sent me and I record and send the finished song on soundcloud. So far i have 2k plays
I always knew I was destined to be a rapper!! My parents don't think so, but I will admit I'm a bit rebellious at times😂😂 and I resonate with all of these signs💯💯 just wait till I prove you wrong, mom and dad😂😂😂
I'm a bedroom rapper q.q... The reasons i don't like rapping infront of ppl is: A. I rap about stuff i don't believe are a *fit* for my peers and social groups. (i do rap with, and for, ppl i musically connect with tho.) B. I rap about 40 words per bar, mix that with the nervousness of live performence = i run out of air C. I don't wanna rap for people if i can't perform at my best. People have responded well in the pass when i did pull my shit together and rapped for them. I believe most of the reasons are fixable through more practise and just not giveing a fuck... (sorry for bad spelling/grama, i tryed my best mom)
Since I was a kid ( about 6 years old) I was influenced heavily by my uncle when he made music because he was the one I looked up to. I remember back in 3rd grade I would always write raps in my journal (don’t know where that is anymore). In 5th grade I would always convince my friends to freestyle with me and almost every weekend I will put on a UA-cam beat on my TV screen and just freestyle. Is this a good sign I should keep pushing? If you’d like to hear something recent from me, I can send you an email?
well people like my music and someone said i have potential. X, 2pac, And nwa are my rap influences. rapping makes me happy and makes me come alive. but im an introvert with a loud mouth i rap and my parents dont know. and i have to lie to them when i record my songs
Well bro same thing over here.I am a 14 year old that is rapping from a year now, many people say I have potential but its pretty hard for me to become a rapper or record a song because I have very religious parents and their gonna hate if I sing or hear anithyng related to drugs,demons...... But I think I have some pretty good lyrics i could share with you.So right now i build myself a pc with my saving and at my birthday I asked my parents to get my a microphone because I want to start a youtube channel even if thats not true and I just want to just start recording a song.My rap influences are x, juice wrld, ynw melly and ski mask. My current microphone is a headset one but I just realised that it sound s completely different then my actual voice even worst then my phone one.I should get my mic in the next few months and I am gonna start recording music from there and I am also gonna start learning how to make beats even if I don't know much about that.I am even trying to contact someone who isn't famous but makes good beats and could help me make a song
I record my s*** in my parents garage the s*** that comes out of my mouth would make them disown me probably but writing songs for 10 years and diving into vocalizing the thing I wish I understood earlier was that if you're going to make anything in this life you need to make it genuinely for yourself and the people who are like you and feel alone unheard or struggling to make it day to day also don't forget to change what you write fun: Grammar and grit combined Sarcophagus sealed and shut tight Cement shoe swimming isnt fun Currently suffocating offshore unseen by anyone Cant commit crime no one knows been done Witness the wrong sight and it might be blood deep: Time Slips Away worrying about the day too often we wonder what exactly to say speak from the heart never hold your tongue your Existence is unique and perspective one of one there will never be another you or me don't keep anything unsaid or undone when you leave
I don’t know how I ended up watching this video at 5 am in the morning but this was it. It was the sign I needed lmao got all 10 of those things stay tuned in a few years I will become the next upcoming Mexican Rapper in San Diego, I’m speaking it into existence..
I was horrible when I first started, all off beat constantly losing my breath but over time I got alot better and just here recently I got insanely better and I don't even know how it happened, my songs make more sense now and luckily all my songs don't sound the same and I guess that just comes naturally.
i have them all:) i write every single day. my main motivation is my little one. im 18 by the way. thank you for sharing. ima make it trust me bro. love from the uk
I get number four a lot from my WHOLE CITY. Everywhere I go, people recognize my voice before they even put a face to it. "You're that girl I heard on the radio today!"
I get complimented on my voice a lot from my reaction channel. But they say it sounds like a radio voice, something like podcasting. I'm still trying to figure out how to use it as a rap voice. The issue I have is delivery, but when I try to deliver, it feels forced and fake. I've been studying other deep voice rappers to see how they style, so hopefully I find a solution., however if I do it will be a weird one haha. This video has been helpful.
I just wanna humble myself to you brother you have honestly shaped up my final touches gave me the information I truly needed to make a hit track or just a song not bars that never end over a dope beat but I now know how to make a song because of you if I get anywhere I will be back to thank you and I willl openly say for all to know your a king
I'm rapping as a hobby so I havent put in the time to be as great as someone doing it full time, but I still love it. Just started med school tho and it's about to get busier and busier. I hope if it gets too busy down the line (residency is like 3-6 more years AFTER medschool w 80 hr weeks), I can still pick it back up as soon as I clear up my schedule again. I spent the first unit of school just freaking out that I'll b old a'f when I can dedicate more time again, but I guess if I love it I gonna do it anyway, regardless of age. I actually gonna make my next serious MV this break for a single I been working on lol. The past 3 vids on my channel have just been filler so I'm ready to put out some more quality, hopefully.
One time when I was in grade five and at the time I was writing rap songs and it was just normal skits that I just normally write about and they ask me to sing out the songs that I was writing and I sang and everybody was dancing that's when I knew that I was meant to do music even if I don't want to but I I was meant to do it
I will admit I've been bedroom rapping but I always I like to showoff my music and Ive performed in front of audiences during school and it doesn't make me nervous it makes me Happy lol
Bro I only rap/sing when I’m upset and tbh it makes me more lyrical cause I write shit that’s not really bars normally but when I’m sad I speak from my heart and I show it too my friends and they are like holy shit it’s like a whole different
Literally every sign because I've been a fan of music since I was a little kid since I was 7 years old I always dreamt of rapping and I never got to pursue that Dream because life is just another thing but thanks for the motivation it really boost me to think outside of the box really thank you I appreciate it continue making those fire videos
I once performed in my school farewell day in front of 4000+ kids and they started calling me the rapgod of my school. I believe that's a plus point ryt?
Yeah I have all of these even in my worst times rapping has always been a way to just get things off my chest. I’ll drop what I’m doing half the time because something hits me and it needs to get written down. I have had a very bad life but music is what keeps me going.
LOL same but if your going to say god dont say what the hell because the devil will answer that question for you and let you see hell yourself, keep it heaven you feel me?

you don’t need any money just get some headphone/earbuds with a mic download these apps rapchat, tune me, bandlab, GarageBand, and etc at least 6-10 years and you need to get a full time job to build a studio from the ground up and work from the bottom to the top only until you start making enough to pay bills and get food just to get by without struggling

I think one note of knowing is being able to perform under pressure, alot of people freeze up when other people ask them to rap or freeze up when people ask if they rap, and alot of people freeze up and get nervous so I think thats one to note as well
I recently did a track on one who f the beats u gave out hope someone wanna listen to it lemme know
Pin your comment pls :)
I only rap when life goes bad 😂
Same. I find it harder to write anything if I have nothing to complain about.
A lot of rappers had it bad before they made it big. All experience is fuel to the fire, you just gotta put the right fuel in the right fire
I know how to lyrically rap but I'm exhausted with using talent, words, and logic. How do I become a mumble rapper?
Lol!
Smoke some dope
To become a mumble rapper, just say shit without saying it.

Don't. Just don't.

I wish you well my man, I know this is 3 years later but, you'll find your way and time, hang in there. ❤
@@emilyrose6546 never expected a reply on this, never expected to be back to this video but i appreciate the kind words, and thank you for empathizing. these days i have real direction, purpose, and motivation in my life. i still rap for fun too, hundreds of hours of rapping later and i'd argue i'm pretty good at it now. i'd like to think you came to this video for a reason, i assume you rap too. i hope you keep up with it, it's so damn important to express yourself and make some noise out in the world. it took me a long time but believe it or not that wasn't even my lowest moment the previous comment refers to. at my lowest day my willpower became unbreakable, and my drive tenacious. hell i got out of my own way, cut all the b.s and toxic people out of my life, and came to terms with shit i just cant change and i'm better than ever. i wish you all the best as well, keep ya head up.
0:07 He raps while talking xD
Haha
I got all the signs (fortunately surprising) and I wanna be a rapper
😁
Expected the comment section to be full of bars from rappers or just trolls. But as a scrolled it’s full of actual supportive dope people from all walks of life. A nice little community here, I dig it. 💯💯💯
U expected bars but u saw support/ I'm bout to ball but not on a court/ but I don't want a Porsche, just a house with a porch/ humble like kendrick I'm leaving em scorched!
I'm battling depression and it's nice to see that I'm actually gud at smt
I'm from Jamaica and I'm still living in Jamaica out of a 100 percent 95 Jamaicans told me I ain't gonna make it in rap because of our country don't listen rap ......I keep tell people I believe in my dream an I believe in Jehovah god that I'ma make it I already started to make my own bed room studio I buy an audio interface already it took me a while to save the money but I won't give up I told myself I'm a rapper an I'm gonna make it ...It maybe take a while but I will ‼️
This video relates to me in every way im already a rapper but im no longer writing im going to freestyle cause im way better at it
I learned by jay z, pac, Eminem, 50, montana of 300, lil wayne,and juice wrld much love 💖
The stresses and things you'll miss dont really stand if you can stand by who you are as a person and not let the fame consume you that is key when trying to become famous, know who you are and never forget
Yes, thank you! Stick to your truth and it'll all flow at the right time imo. A lot of people don't make it because they're writing about things that they haven't actually lived or felt, just superficial things, you can hear the lack of passion, when you stand by your originality and truth, the passion lies inside you and you can hear it in the way you write/spit.
I lose motivation to rap on a constant basis
I never know what to rap about or write about and alot of instrumentals I find these days dont spark any kinds of feelings or thoughts in my brain
I've been writing for years but I dont write consistently because I get bored of it quickly
I simply dislike the lines I come up with and feel I dont have any discernible form of swag or style to make it pop
Personally I feel I need a very specific kind of sound but I haven't found it yet and idk what to do
Theres like a cell in my that still wants to do it but the rest of me is indifferent to the craft
The videos are slowly helping
I've heard/seen a few things on this list that makes me wanna continue
feel the same way
Thanks glad they help!
Thats because you push your self to write trust me just write when you want and it will go by itself just i do it this way i just surf on youtube and somehow i end up with free beats after that i listen some of them when i find someting i really like the flow comes and i just record a mumble version of it and try to write over that flow on a more lirical way.
Yelawolf I try to write and I feel like an idiot, I freestyle and I smack, but at as soon as I click record everything flys out my head and I go through this repetitive cycle of repeating the same bullshit just in different ways. It’s ridiculously annoying bro, I feel like I’m good but then I get all nervous or something, I hate it!
I match with basically all of these things. I just have issues with liking my own music. I dont have a producer so I just get beats from online and write to them but I'll write lyrics and then I feel like they sound stupid. Because I have an issue constantly comparing myself to successful rappers that I like
well i know i can grind very well because i went from one of the lowest level called 'mavo' in the Netherlands to one of the highest levels. Called "vwo" mavo-> havo->vwo so that was my grind. I love to write poems so that is also why i thought about rapping because i have been following this channel for a year now i think and i just love music. Just need practice for my flow and find a good beat to let out my emotions. Thanks Drew for all the tips. You are a great help in this journey, if given the opportunity, i will credit the hell out of you mate. You deserve it! Keep going with ya great work.
Hey drew this is the thing I’ve been living by even tho I’m only 15 you don’t need any money just get some headphone/earbuds with a mic download these apps rapchat, tune me, bandlab, GarageBand, and etc at least 6-10 years and you need to get a full time job to build a studio from the ground up and work from the bottom to the top only until you start making enough to pay bills and get food just to get by without struggling
🚀🚀
How To Rap the main reason I said you don’t need any money one of my homies from Michigan who still lives there he has 20k followers on Instagram sells out shows when he goes on tour and he runs his own label but his first project called revolver was recorded on his phone and it wasn’t bad at all
This is how im doing my raps right now. I'm using Apple Earbuds as a mic and I use GarageBand. I use beats my friends sent me and I record and send the finished song on soundcloud. So far i have 2k plays
Zizzurp nice
Street Disciple what’s yours homies ig I wanna check him out
I always knew I was destined to be a rapper!! My parents don't think so, but I will admit I'm a bit rebellious at times😂😂 and I resonate with all of these signs💯💯 just wait till I prove you wrong, mom and dad😂😂😂
🤣🤣
Go for it dude don't stop maybe I can collaborate with you one day.
I'm a bedroom rapper q.q... The reasons i don't like rapping infront of ppl is:
A. I rap about stuff i don't believe are a *fit* for my peers and social groups. (i do rap with, and for, ppl i musically connect with tho.)
B. I rap about 40 words per bar, mix that with the nervousness of live performence = i run out of air
C. I don't wanna rap for people if i can't perform at my best.
People have responded well in the pass when i did pull my shit together and rapped for them.
I believe most of the reasons are fixable through more practise and just not giveing a fuck...
(sorry for bad spelling/grama, i tryed my best mom)
The only signs ur gonna become a rapper, ur passionate, u work hard on it and ur good at it lol
if you rapped his words to the background beat ur a rapper
50K with no uploads cum on everybody
Rutgervb_ I was hoping someone else recognized it
This is exactly what i was looking for 👌
Fa sho!
4. voice
me going thru puberty well mission failed
lol same
I rap in my room wit beat in my speaker n people think im a crazy .bt I will show them let me finish my 10th class
Since I was a kid ( about 6 years old) I was influenced heavily by my uncle when he made music because he was the one I looked up to. I remember back in 3rd grade I would always write raps in my journal (don’t know where that is anymore). In 5th grade I would always convince my friends to freestyle with me and almost every weekend I will put on a UA-cam beat on my TV screen and just freestyle. Is this a good sign I should keep pushing? If you’d like to hear something recent from me, I can send you an email?
That's a good sign!
The younger the better I believe
well people like my music and someone said i have potential.
X, 2pac, And nwa are my rap influences.
rapping makes me happy and makes me come alive.
but im an introvert with a loud mouth
i rap and my parents dont know. and i have to lie to them when i record my songs
Well bro same thing over here.I am a 14 year old that is rapping from a year now, many people say I have potential but its pretty hard for me to become a rapper or record a song because I have very religious parents and their gonna hate if I sing or hear anithyng related to drugs,demons......
But I think I have some pretty good lyrics i could share with you.So right now i build myself a pc with my saving and at my birthday I asked my parents to get my a microphone because I want to start a youtube channel even if thats not true and I just want to just start recording a song.My rap influences are x, juice wrld, ynw melly and ski mask.
My current microphone is a headset one but I just realised that it sound s completely different then my actual voice even worst then my phone one.I should get my mic in the next few months and I am gonna start recording music from there and I am also gonna start learning how to make beats even if I don't know much about that.I am even trying to contact someone who isn't famous but makes good beats and could help me make a song
I record my s*** in my parents garage the s*** that comes out of my mouth would make them disown me probably but writing songs for 10 years and diving into vocalizing the thing I wish I understood earlier was that if you're going to make anything in this life you need to make it genuinely for yourself and the people who are like you and feel alone unheard or struggling to make it day to day
also don't forget to change what you write
fun:
Grammar and grit combined
Sarcophagus sealed and shut tight
Cement shoe swimming isnt fun
Currently suffocating offshore unseen by anyone
Cant commit crime no one knows been done
Witness the wrong sight and it might be blood
deep:
Time Slips Away worrying about the day
too often we wonder what exactly to say
speak from the heart never hold your tongue
your Existence is unique and perspective one of one
there will never be another you or me
don't keep anything unsaid or undone when you leave
@@pikewrld1700 is it going good or did you leave it?
When I was a kid I use to get the pots and pans and put a song and pretend that I’m drumming to the song 😂
Lmao me to I still do it and I'm 19😂🤦🏽♂️
I still do that and I'm......8

YABOX Im a mauritian rapper...im subscribing to your channel..i'll use your beat
A Shot Of Smoothie I’ll shout u out in desc when song drops 🔥
As with a lot of advice you give, I needed to hear this. Just makes me more sure im on the right path.
I feel like half of the things is not me and the other half is like me XD, i didnt understand all tho but ma Rebellious side is damn big
This is crazy well I’m excited to be heard 🎉🔥🔥🔥
Tbh this vid gave me motivation. Everyone applied to me fr💯
That's awesome to hear!
Did I just listen to signs to become a rapper or did I just listen to an actual informative rap
😂
I lost motivation lost my job fell into a dark whole but I still made music no matter what
im so glad i found your channel. you inspire me a whole lot. thank you for your videos.
✊🏽✊🏽
I don’t know how I ended up watching this video at 5 am in the morning but this was it. It was the sign I needed lmao got all 10 of those things stay tuned in a few years I will become the next upcoming Mexican Rapper in San Diego, I’m speaking it into existence..
SD stand up!
Gonna be watching you then. Get up!
I was horrible when I first started, all off beat constantly losing my breath but over time I got alot better and just here recently I got insanely better and I don't even know how it happened, my songs make more sense now and luckily all my songs don't sound the same and I guess that just comes naturally.
That happened to me too crazzzzzzzyyyyyy right😜😜🤪🤪🤪🤪😜😜😜😜🤪🤪😜😜
i have them all:) i write every single day. my main motivation is my little one. im 18 by the way. thank you for sharing. ima make it trust me bro. love from the uk
thanks for the advice
I get number four a lot from my WHOLE CITY. Everywhere I go, people recognize my voice before they even put a face to it. "You're that girl I heard on the radio today!"
Interesting list, seems fitting. A bit of a stroke to my ego. I'm mostly beatmaking now but hmm 🤔 maybe...
Thanks for this
Literally resonated with everything you said
i really thank U very Much.. this Game me More Confidence and More Motivation. ❤😊
I get complimented on my voice a lot from my reaction channel. But they say it sounds like a radio voice, something like podcasting. I'm still trying to figure out how to use it as a rap voice. The issue I have is delivery, but when I try to deliver, it feels forced and fake. I've been studying other deep voice rappers to see how they style, so hopefully I find a solution., however if I do it will be a weird one haha. This video has been helpful.
I just wanna humble myself to you brother you have honestly shaped up my final touches gave me the information I truly needed to make a hit track or just a song not bars that never end over a dope beat but I now know how to make a song because of you if I get anywhere I will be back to thank you and I willl openly say for all to know your a king
Cheers Pukka!
@@HowToRapOfficial honestly thank you for everything and so much more for free as well humbled
You are coach personified
You blew my world
Great
Needed this extra motivation thank you #talksoon
This was spooky I do most of these and rap for fun 😂
I'm rapping as a hobby so I havent put in the time to be as great as someone doing it full time, but I still love it. Just started med school tho and it's about to get busier and busier. I hope if it gets too busy down the line (residency is like 3-6 more years AFTER medschool w 80 hr weeks), I can still pick it back up as soon as I clear up my schedule again. I spent the first unit of school just freaking out that I'll b old a'f when I can dedicate more time again, but I guess if I love it I gonna do it anyway, regardless of age.
I actually gonna make my next serious MV this break for a single I been working on lol. The past 3 vids on my channel have just been filler so I'm ready to put out some more quality, hopefully.
One time when I was in grade five and at the time I was writing rap songs and it was just normal skits that I just normally write about and they ask me to sing out the songs that I was writing and I sang and everybody was dancing that's when I knew that I was meant to do music even if I don't want to but I I was meant to do it
I will admit I've been bedroom rapping but I always I like to showoff my music and Ive performed in front of audiences during school and it doesn't make me nervous it makes me Happy lol
You're so cool and this is so useful! Respect!
the last one really got me i was working in tenneessee without freinds family or even a whip too go fuck around and i just started writing again
I am 16 and I want to become a rapper but my parents are not liking the idea any help
Best way to know you a rapper record a song and put the song out and see what happens
Bro I only rap/sing when I’m upset and tbh it makes me more lyrical cause I write shit that’s not really bars normally but when I’m sad I speak from my heart and I show it too my friends and they are like holy shit it’s like a whole different
Literally every sign because I've been a fan of music since I was a little kid since I was 7 years old I always dreamt of rapping and I never got to pursue that Dream because life is just another thing but thanks for the motivation it really boost me to think outside of the box really thank you I appreciate it continue making those fire videos
Dope! Glad to inspire you RED IICE!
If I ever become a wrapper, it's all over for the Christmas presents. They'll be SURROUNDED IN STYLE
Thanks drew very inspirational
Imagine if all of us watching this video or any video to how to be a rapper in 2023 will be billions of rappers 😂
I once performed in my school farewell day in front of 4000+ kids and they started calling me the rapgod of my school. I believe that's a plus point ryt?
brooo thanks for your advice your wise af
Yeah I have all of these even in my worst times rapping has always been a way to just get things off my chest. I’ll drop what I’m doing half the time because something hits me and it needs to get written down. I have had a very bad life but music is what keeps me going.
Great vid....What is that last beat...I need it
I don't Kno why but it's like God showed me this wth
LOL same but if your going to say god dont say what the hell because the devil will answer that question for you and let you see hell yourself, keep it heaven you feel me?
@@prodlucius I answer the phone I say Heaven Yes ... Holler
