Thanks for the good insight. Me a and a few other brothers in Christ have started a rap/R&B group. We're doing mostly Christian covers of secular songs right now, just so we can get the unsaved audiences to listen to us, but we change all the words and use evangelistic themes.
@pearlfd Amen to you my brother in Christ... I am a new Christian rap artist (white, male) and decided to try calling myself Y2K just as a Christian name you know... I don't care about becoming famous... but if I can lead one man to Christ through music... then I will be somewhat happy knowing it is worth something

Writing comes from the heart & mind. It is the expression of the writers thoughts. Those who are best at writing write everyday, like myself and many others, and use their writing to work through their thoughts and analyze what's on their minds. Through HARD WORK anyone can write like eminem, but it is the absurd amount of work put in by the best that gets them the respect theyre deserved.

On December 4th (before if you can't make it) we will all watch "Love the way you lie" in honor of the greatest rapper ever's glory. Let's give him the best present ever: the highest viewed video on YouTube!! Let's give him what he deserves and what Justin Beiber does not deserve to have!
Copy and paste to all Eminem videos and all music videos let's get this noticed quickly!
1st off lets get so real RESPECT about the music game if you all have no been in the game with sell on the radio or sell in the store ,then shut the hell up , the truth is this guy is just stating what RAC,MCA,SONY and others will say and ask you and themselves before giving you a DEAL real talk I know I have a DEAL and I had to go through the HOOPS of the trade so Folks lay off this brother that is just giving advice to help people to get to there goal
We are professional producers and recording engineers, and we suggest that this so called "expertvillage" outfit are really just a bunch of amateurs giving lots of not very bright opinions on a subject that takes years to learn.
If you are really serious about making your music sound good, and need real expert advice on equipment and recording, just go elsewhere, as most of these guys know absolutely nothing of value.
Any one know how to record a music video. I dont get how u have to record than u edit it by taking all the background sounds away and replacing it with the instrumental
@calvin0177 Nigga, if I wanted to listen to somebody sream in my fuckin ear I'd invite my little cousin over. Stick to your sumbass Screamo shit. Only somebody with a retarded mind would want 2 listen to that whack ass shit music.
Yeah man, you can't just take rhyme after rhyme and make it into a song. You have to rip it up on some REAL topics that mean something to people, just like Lil Wayne.
Ayo, if you really wanna know how to rap, just get the book "How to Rap: The Art & Science of the Hip-Hop MC", it's got interviews with over 100 famous rappers
@wbysniper aheemm are you dumb? and ignorant. first of all how does it not show talent? it shows that people have talent to write about their life in 3 minutes. and make it rhyme too. i wanna see you do that. how is it the lowest form of expression when EVERYBODY is doing it... even white people?! LMFAO you chat more bubbles than washing up liquid.
@cheekyana they write about degration of women, drugs, money, sex, drugs, money, money, money, money, and being better that the next guy. IF U LIKE RAP, I FEEL DEEPLY SORRY FOR YOU
@wbysniper ok we can tell you DONT like rap cos ud know not all of them write bout sex drugs or money. soo. im done here,keep being an ignorant and beleieve w.e :L
Listen to that guy. That is the best advice you'll ever get and all you should need! Rapping is an art. Art ties to emotion. Good art satisfies an emtion. Satisfaction comes from good music. Good music comes from deep self exppresion! So express yourself and do it right!
@wbysniper Actually when rap artists have bands to. When they perform concerts they sometimes need a band to play the beat. Like P.Diddy has shows that he's trying to get a band together. He's one of the most successful Artists ever. He created many people who are famous today. And their are alot of emcee's that are rappers. Hip-Hop is a culture, its gonna stay around for a long time. RnB is mixed into rap too. Every genre revolves around the others sometimes. Thanks for listening much respect
