How to be a Rapper.
Step 1Get a rap name. Names like Sean Combs (Diddy) or Shawn Carter (Jay-Z) just don't fly in the rap world. Think of a rap name that incorporates something from your name, lifestyle or biography to add a little mystique to your persona. Think edgy and catchy to find the right name.
Step 2Hone your battle skills. Rap battling is one of the best ways to innovate new beats and lyrics in a pressured environment. Many of the top rappers started out as master battlers, so start battling in your community to get your lyrics rolling off your tongue.
Step 3Make a demo tape. You can rent a public studio for a fairly reasonable amount of money to lay some tracks down. Get a solid mix tape and use your friends and family as a test audience. If you know some other aspiring rappers, ask for help in the production of the tape.
Step 4Publicize your material. Give your demo tape out to as many people as possible. Try attending rap events and clubs where you can drop your tape off with the MC and DJ. Also, take advantage of Internet outlets like MySpace and YouTube to get your name and style out there.
Step 5Keep going even when it seems like the odds are stacked against you. Not only did it take most successful rappers much longer to reach their goals than they initially thought, but many of their most difficult times produced their best material. Stay in it, keep innovating beats and rhythms and take heart in the process of becoming a hip hop success.

10 Deep

I was with my boy Ian from school aaaaallll the way in the back of the line when I walked up line to ear-hustle and BOOM!
Drew from X-Men (who incidentally goes to my school's BK campus) was chillin' talking to "The Twins" who did a couple cuts for Psalm One.
So we did the Chi-York & crew shizzle and I slid in right behind the Twins, called Ian upline and we ran up in that joint, alcoholism ablaze.
THe best moments were when the Murder Club reps got onstage
and as Mano spun, Holt screamed into the mic, jumpin from rap to some good-down home booty-house, of which i cannot allow myself to not boogie to! It was almost as awesome as my camera failing to operate!

The Video! Take Yo Vee's
the project I was working on with MBD? Where is it? It's in a Guantanamo cell, nekkid with a bible shoved up its ass, leashed to a german shepherd's penis.
the 2008 Projects are as follows:
"Equal Got To Me" mixtape
"Chicago & Beyond" mixtape "The Fights Over"
& the 8 song CD "Empire of Ashes" featuring beats by....me & lyrics by (wait for it!) me! I know, what a concept!
I'm shooting for November, with the mixtapes coming out whenever I get around to them...
I'm also working on two other projects with Maf Maddix of Ninja Science (North Carolina) & another with Marcus Garvey Lite (DC/ATL) & my kid brother Kikuyu Allah (Chicago/BKLYN)
Maf Maddix & I are doing a project called "Black Nationalist Porn" as a split CD of 20 tracks, & MG, Kikuyu & I are Typical Stereo Negros in "The Negro Problem".
Stay tuned!
