      @@MicahangeloYT welp, I’ve honestly never performed as a rapper other than a couple of open mics a while back (pre-pandemi) but I would suggest at least 3, or enough to perform for at least 15 minutes. You could possibly pitch yourself as an opener that way 🤔
      Also, I learned in my writing practice that family and friends aren’t necessarily the end all be all. My close family didn’t want to tell me my book covers were horrible lol. Sooo just because THEY think you only have 2 solid tracks doesn’t mean that you ONLY have 2. What are YOUR faves? What pumps YOU up? The audience will know if you’re not vibing with it, and that matters most IMO

    Sometimes, being happy with what you can do as an artist is the way to go. Practically nobody knows who I am, but I've been pushing out music for about 3 years now. Not everybody achieves success at the same pace, folks. *Patience and being happy with oneself are key.*

      If you do it for the love, fame isnt a thing. There's a certain feel you get, a sense of accomplishment knowing your doing it for you not anyone else. Put out something meaning full someone can relate too. That will help build a fan base. Jump on a trend..you've see how it goes. 🙏 keep pursuing your passion. ✊

      Yea bro super agree. Eventually you'll get noticed for what you're making and that makes all the difference for good, real, and music with longevity. Don't quit, make music vids n use TikTok and insta rn with clips.

    I think the hardest one of these is getting over the existential dread of not sounding like everyone else.
    I spent YEARS in my closet writing lyrics and not doing anything with them because I wanted to be the next Nicki Minaj.
    It wasn’t until I let go of that false expectation that I actually started making moves! It’s hard to remember to be yourself because the listeners want something new and different, not carbon copies like we’re tricked into thinking.
    Ps, thank you for all your tips! This channel got me to the point where……. I released my first EP today!!!!!!!!!

    I started making music on a half broken laptop with plug in earbuds used as headphones, I was always writing and singing as a kid, rapping and shit, I was 13, I'm 15 now still going and I've shown so much improvement.
    I think the hardest thing was getting people to realize, I'm in this. Like this isn't gonna stop no matter what, and once some people saw that, they just went with it.
    I was told my music is shit, I was told to change some things, where others would get mad, I saw a chance to make myself better, learn from what you do wrong.

    .... Shxt hit the fan when your career start to fade-
    In a deep trance, why speak, blood on the sheets- (thoughts repeat)
    Face the facts and the feats, battling dxmons & doing it discreet- (preach)

    Can I give me feedback on this rap I wrote u won’t regret it
    World Still Turns
    Wanna be an MC
    Wanna be like shady
    Maybe
    Let’s see
    Backwards E
    Will discover me
    Only sure of one thing
    Nothing stopping me from my dream
    I’m regaining my self esteem
    Cuz when I rap I’m feeling ectasy
    Distracting from life cuz its crazy
    It’s amazing
    Not goin
    Through a phase see
    Rap is my game
    For more than the fame
    I even made a name
    The names DK
    But in a way
    I feel like
    This earth
    Has turned against me
    I got a list of people pissed
    At me just cuz I exist
    I just wish
    Someone would stop this
    They wanna throw fist
    But I respond with a diss
    Cuz when I take a shot I don’t miss
    And sometimes I feel heartless
    Cuz this heart was broken
    Over and over again
    But gotta deal with it cuz this is when
    People die cities burn
    But as u see this world still turns
    People don’t get what they deserve
    Others get what they don’t earn
    People die cities burn
    But as u see this world still turns
    People don’t get what they deserve
    Others get what they don’t earn
    Used to wanna be fighter pilot
    But I’m colorblind so
    Guess I’m gonna have to live without it
    And I doubt that
    There’s anything I can do about it
    And now I realize that
    Life is fucked up sometimes
    The only thing keeping me alive is my rhymes
    It’s my reason for livin and it’s driven me insane
    Only thing keeping me from the pain
    Cuz I feel like I’m alone in rain
    Just these feelins my mind is on
    But life still goes on
    Like I said I wanna be an MC
    I want shady
    To discover me
    To uncover me
    So I show this man
    That this fan
    Is more than another Stan
    Or at least that’s what I plan
    If life goes by my demands but
    People die cities burn
    But as u see this world still turns
    People don’t get what they deserve
    Others get what they don’t earn
    People die cities burn
    But as u see this world still turns
    People don’t get what they deserve
    Others get what they don’t earn
    Listen
    If things don’t go your way
    Listen to what I say
    And just know
    Things will get better another day
    Always be on the move
    Nothin is stoppin u
    From doin whatever u wanna do
    But if someone tries to
    Then there an asshole so
    Just say fuck u ho
    And don’t let them make u feel low
    Even though
    People die cities burn
    But as u see this world still turns
    People don’t get what they deserve
    Others get what they don’t earn
    People die cities burn
    But as u see this world still turns
    People don’t get what they deserve
    Others get what they don’t earn

The meaning of it is that even if things don’t go your way in life or if things are bad, life still goes on and the world still turns so you’ll have to deal with it. But things will get better so don’t give up on your dreams. When I was talking about wanting to be like Eminem I was talking about my dream
