12 years. But why settle for less? It takes time to get good. I started late. When its all said and done I'd be more mad if i didn't try then try and fail. I've been goin hard this whole time. I'll let God put me where I know I'll be when the times right.
Im sure there's something to be said for the determination tho, even though putting that same kind of energy into something useful like school or Burger King training (free crowns!) would better serve you.
Who would you rather listen to anyway as a consumer, some guy who just made his first song, or some overhyped unseasoned amateur.
Or someone who knows his shit.
Personally, I want to hear greatness. Not somebody still learning, or just cashing in on hype. Great music is timeless. I want to make great music. Greatness takes time.
You ever go to the neighborhood basketball court and you see a bunch of giant men playing some serious b ball? And then some average looking dude with a beer belly comes in talkin bout he's gonna tear it up on the court, wearing a headband, basketball shorts, a knee brace, $250 sneakers, and he's thinking he can play and compete, thinking as long as he tries hard he'll have a good game. Only for him to get absolutely thrashed when the game goes down. . No matter how hard the guy is trying it just doesn't matter since he lacks talent. You are that guy man. You got the sweat band on your head, basketball shorts and some Jordan's but that doesn't make you a good ball player. It doesn't matter if you practice on your jump shot 6 hours a day for the last decade, at the end of the day the talent is either there or it isn't.
