In the midst of my depression, substance takes grip extending deeper in my mind touching various dementions, my heart hurts until its black the facts of pain make it hard to maintain these thoughts are so relentless, times are hectic mind state neglected undetected by many because I selected to bottle my aggression, rhyme is my only form of confession stressed to solve my problems I turn to sessions of alcohol suppression, I know deep down the solutions only temporary, thats what scares me, tares me... unfairly prosecuted paranoid until the state of delusion questioning life was it real or just another illusion, GOD test me every day to see the strength in my faith, love and hate become translucent since an early age feeling alone and be-trade, infatuated with death hoping life would just go away, leave me to play where the blue skys cover the grey, will I ever get that day? will I ever regain a sain brain smiling face where the grace of joy over powers this pain? a cloud to rest on, stress gone, up high out of reach from the flames, tell what I'll see at the end of this maze, the love of GODs warm embrase? forgivness or redemption, I dont know I cant call it, I'm still trapped in its grip, in the midst of my drepresion!

if you have the money to fuck off and chalk off then go ahead. most likely aint no major gonna sign you unless you gots units behind you. especially at your age. your best bet as a "writer" is to find some youngster with the look whos down to have someone write for him. eventually hip hop, like all other geners, will be an acceptable genre to have cats write for an artist. theres too much pride right now cus hip hop is still relatively new to let some one else "openly" wrote for you. Dangerous Dame wrote "Short But Funky" and Del wrote for The Lynch Mob. i doubt Wayne was writin his own lyrics. especially on Carter 3. Dr. Dre didnt write his own shit. so didnt the late, great Eazy E. there money behind the scenes. you aint got to be the star to make money in music. you just gotta know the right avenue to take for what your tryna do. theres hella routes to take if you want to go Hollywood.

Basically..

I like doing music for the fun of it. I have a 9 to 5er that gets the bills paid. Any lil extra money that music makes me is welcome but its not expected nor is it needed.

well, if 31 is not too old to start gangbanging or getting shot...i guess a rap career wouldnt be either.

unless your rapping about making young children your "bitties", stalking underaged girls, or how you like to hang upside down in a closet at night like youre some kind of bloodsucking-robot-vampire-reverse-racist-pedo-weirdo

apparently some people like that shit

If you want to make in the world of music today you've got to look the part. Go into your girls closet (or sister's), and find something that fits. Rappers like Lil Wayne and Drake have showed us that looking like a faggot sells. Also buy some urkle glasses, skinny jeans, and the most ridiculous accessories you can think up. Shit, wear a trash bag if you think it'll start a trend. Trends matter... remember that.

My next set of tips will cover twitter beef; What to say, and how to look like a bad-ass online.

i really hate to say this, but thats just a sign you might dont got it.

i like alot of chicano rappers. and im black.

when i bought kid frosts 'hispanic causing panic' i liked the album because it was dope, i wasnt like 'oh hes mexican..fuck that shit'

there is no racial boundaries in hip hop or rap; skills are transparent no matter the race or culture

i think due to english being SOME spanish-speaking individuals second language, they have less of a grasp on the entire dictionary as the rest of us born into english and american rap.

shit i listen to rap in all spanish.

like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3nXW7lBfBE

so dont use that as an exscuse, like 'hes black so he wont feel my shit' thats a sign you need to tighten up your style, and be more accessable than to one culture

nothing i said was a diss, im trying to help you. i believe if rap is in your heart, you will do good at it and continue to get better with practice. remember practice makes perfect. god bless

PS: New york is full of puerto rican rap...not that that equals mexican...but you got ASAP Mobs "tan boys" thirstin howell the 3rd, big pun....beatnuts...i could go on and on..dont let your race stop you from being dope bro....period
