Rap or Hip Hop Artists Lessons for Beginners – 10 Facts for Success
* All successful rap artists have a special talent that makes them unique. Some would argue that hard work and trial and error can take you to a successful place, but on its own, without talent, it is nothing. Others would suggest that talent is all you need. I would have to say that both are essential and work together.
* The right beat making software is essential to any rap or hop hop artists career. Without good beats you have only lyrics. Lyrics on their own are just that ‘lyrics on their own’.
* Rap, Hip Hop, rock and Roll, and every other form of music and art, eventually leads down the road of business. In order for anyone to be a success at it, they need, or should have a desire to learn the basic fundamentals of business. One doesn’t need to be Donald Trump, but they do need to be wise and wide-awake.
* All the modern, commercially flourishing rap and hip hop artists, consider ‘the hook’ theory as the only theory to rely upon when writing tunes for rap or hip hop.
* Be nice all the time, because you never know who you are talking to. Many people will help you, if they like you.
* Do you have other artists that you listen? Another suggestion is to learn about their lives, how they got where they are, and what life principles brought them to have such massive success.
* Be clear about who you are. – Every great artist are being true, keeping it real, letting all of us know that they know what is going on. It is their character we are most attracted to.
* A ‘never say die’ attitude in the music business is the only one to have. If you are a complainer or a moaner, keep away. You will only make enemies.
* Hanging out and befriending the right people are essential. You need to be encouraged, not questioned.
* Be clear about what you are saying – When you are tying to become a Rap or Hip Hop Artists or producer, what are you trying to say? Are you just trying to get rich quick, or are you trying to tell people about your struggles?.
