Being an emerging artist is tough - you have to respect the grind cuz we go through a lot. I would know, I have a mixtape on the way too, so Pharrell is dropping real knowledge with it. Us artists stay hungry!

@Blahblahbox1 You don't need money to self educate. My step-father grew up very poor. He quit high school after 1 year to support himself and his mother.  In his free time he went to the library and educated himself.

I agree that there is much to write about, but with no education your writing likely will be shallow and not well done. There are exceptions of course, but if you want to be a successful writer having an educations greatly increases your chances of success.

[Blahblahbox1]

@erad67 If one has money for that yes, but not everybody has that especially in these times, one can always write about something, everybody can write about emotions, the world, nature, there is plenty of stuff to write about, which you don't need an education to be able to write about.

[erad67]

@Blahblahbox1 An education doesn't have to mean going to High school or college. If you want to write music that other people will want to listen to, you need to know some stuff. If you don't know much, what are you going to write your music about?

[MultiJamesHughes]

@BeebieDee :) and your only fourteen! Get'em girl...

[MrUniqueosmosis]

@Blahblahbox1 You damn right fuck that shit I don't want to be in debt.

[Blahblahbox1]

I don't want an education, I hate school, I just want to write music
