Being a rapper has to be the WOAT career choice.

[Colin X]

Pretend to act like there's no positives all you want. There's plenty of poppin rappers out right now that make thou sounds a show, and with the internet it's easier and easier to get ya music out there. Also, rap keeps getting more popular each year.



As far as the positives go: Money, bytches, adoring fans


Sounds good to me




















fukk outta here with ya militant shyt

What part of this is militant?



And Bankroll Fresh was just killed last night in the studio.


Yes there are plenty of rappers doing good out here, but there are also A LOT more who record in they closet with no pot to piss in



And when you're done you'll be in your 30s/40s with youngins just shyttin on your whole career

For real. The agism in hip hop means that even if you are dope, to the youth, you are trash.

Then again, hip hop is about energy so does anyone wanna hear Tony Yayo talk about selling drugs at his age? Or turning up? Or hear a rapper who made it now talk about his deals to buy property so his ass wont have to rap anymore in 10 yers?

Its admittedly a context sensitive genre that cannibalizes older heads who spit. The first day i hear a rhyme about he AARP card is the day I die with a smile.

Its career lifespan is comparable to pro football players.

Dafuq he gotta do with all of rap?


That nikka lived a specific lifestyle



Don't be like a cac and start generalizing shyt

 

[Mr.Big Meat McGee]

There's no longevity in being a rapper tbh.

Rockstars can pretty much eat for life. But rappers can't because shyt gets played out quick.

Breh, rap in itself can bring a lot of negative into a person's life.


Why are you debating this?


And the lifespan is short as fukk

Lmao. There you go generalizing again. I doubt someone like Maclamor, Mac Miller or Kendrick Lamar, Drake, . bring in negativity. They look happy as shyt to me


I really shouldnt have to say this shyt so obviously you're either a cac, militant, or troll so imma be out

 

[HoldThisL]

If you are unique, then your rap is a GOAT career. But too many copycat nikkas out here who is going to have a short rap career cause they want to rap in triplets and think having dreads make them more cool.

But I cant even hate if they got their money from it real quick and left. Seems like a easy thing to do in today life.

Also some people just have a passion for rap, I cant hate that either.

You're obviously not understanding what the fukk I'm saying and you're the only one in the thread who doesn't get it so

That's because there's only like 5 other people in this flop ass thread

I keep boosting the shyt and still nobody cares enough


Imma stop giving you promo for this flop. Peace

I find it interesting whenever I see older rappers because they are still out and performing and shyt. It's odd in a way because now they are conscious and speak about real hip hop. Is it because you are not relevant in the mainstream anymore? It's a big world with billions of people, so I'm sure if it don't work in the states you could always find a lane in Sweden.

 

[King Poetic]

if u a rapper of substance for example Nas, Chamillionaire, Ice Cube, Common and some others u would be able to cross over in other lanes and succeed

if u like the thousand of trash atlanta rappers ( no disrepect to the legends outkast, goodie mob, luda, t.i., killer mike ) and those trap rappers & them trash love and hip hop fukks them nikkas better hope they can flow till they 60 cause them nikkas are done when that 5 minute of fame is gone

Rap isn't that old of a genre, there are rappers with decades-long careers out right now.
Other than Jay Z, Nas, Diddy, Rakim, Wu-Tang Clan, Mos Def, etc. not too many artists have long careers because they end up trying to ride a wave or fad, instead of making long-lasting music.

Legends from the 90s will continue eat off of merchandise and album sells. The only rapper I think that will survive/eat is Kanye and maybe Kendrick.

Question: when's the last time yall paid for music?

When HFM2 dropped, bought it on iTunes then paid for a physical copy
