Your son wanting to become a rapper unappreciation

My son said he dropping a mixtape in 6 weeks 
Yooo
My lil nephew is 17 and started rapping about a year ago. I tell him to keep his grades up and tell him to come over whenever he wants to record. Coach him on vocals, lyrics, song structure, etc... Some of his thoughts are pretty basic ("ie. If I make it in rap I'm gonna be rich!") lol But who am I to tell him not to follow his heart. I encourage him and just let him know if he want me to help him he can't sacrifice his grades in the process. Gives him an incentive to do well in school while allowing him an outlet to express himself.
Honestly I love that. I find it fun working with him and I got someone to pass down my knowledge to.

Don't do it. These nikkas on here will have you wanting to find out where each and every one of them live
@ you being a dream killer.
first thing I thought here.
anyone with access to a studio can make music these days, he can be a rapper. the hard part is being a GOOD rapper. and that's why lil niglet or honklet or whatever has to finish high school and go to college

just to clarify, what the hell were you talking bout?
You shouldn't project your own failures/disappointments onto your son. He has to be allowed to live his life. There are independent artists out there making money. It's not easy no but it's doable, if he has the passion and talent he can go somewhere. If everybody had that mentality no-one would ever be an artist.
My opinion, which you obviously don't have to take as your the father is to let him do that if he loves it or even likes it as a hobby. Let the little brother do him but let him have skills and plans and options if it don't work out for him. There's nothing wrong with having a dream, you could conditionally support his dream if he fulfils your requirements which could act as motivation to his formal education and even inspire his informal education and growth.
Just my 2 cents anyway...

I know independent rappers personally that making well over 100 thousand a year, which isn't bad at all... And others that are more known I don't know the figures of everyone but them dudes doing well, Brother Ali is an example, he's made very good living as an independent artist.
I think as long as someone has a back up career...make music all you want.
shyt...I'm about to record some shyt but I'm already in a stable career and on a path to make 100k a year.
So I'm skraight either way and can still make music a hobby
