How To Become a Famous Rapper

Being a rapper is one of the greatest careers you can have on earth! You can spend your days in the studio recording or in the streets trappin and your nights in da club with stars, OGs and some of the finest b-e-e-y-a-t-c-h-e-s in the world.

No one can argue that rappers get all the hoes, have all the cash and demand respect and power. We the thug army and we taking over the joint!

Hip hop is a multi-billion dollar a year business and there is room for crunk rappers. If you play your cards right, you can become a world renown icon like Tupac, Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z, 50 Cents, Young Jeezy and The Game.

On top of that, you gonna have the hottest hoes at your beck and call, your own rap label with a stable of up and coming rappers and your own clothes line. Homie, if you follow these instructions, you’ll appear in magazines like The Source and get your rap videos played on Park and 106, BET and MTV. As you start blowin up, you’ll get requests to appear on various radio and television shows, which will make your star power hit the roof.

The first thing you got to realize is that niggas are droppin rap CDs every mothaf%$n day, seven days a week, ya feel me? Most of these punk azz wankstas don’t know the game. They what we call i-n-d-u-s-t-r-y rappers.

They shyt won’t sell in the streets. What we look for are in-da-street rappers, know what I’m sayin? We straight thugged out, cause that’s what true rap is all about. If you want to rise above these wannabe wankstas, you need to follow these steps like they was the rap bible cause they are!

1). Create a Thug Alias

You name has got to be straight thug, ya feel me? If you ain’t thug the street ain’t gon be feelin yo azz and that’s gon make yo CD sales go flat. Check some of the names of the hot rappers: Snoop Dogg, Chopper, The Game, G-Unit, 50 Cent, Master P, Silkk the Shocker, Jim Jones, Rated R and Rich Boy. You might need to create some s-h-y-t like: Lil’ Tupac, D.O.A., Pimp Juice, Lil Glock, D.O.C., Lord 187 or G-Blunt. Your name will make or break you, so choose yo name wisely.

2). Follow The Thug Dress Code

We have a strict dress code. One way the street can tell if you down, is how you dress. If you ain’t dressin like a thug, yo CD sales gon be flat. When people see you, you got’s to be reppin hip hop to the illest. To learn our dress code, click here.

3). Git You a Crew

Yo crew should be down with your dream of being a rap star. They should have yo back at all times. These yo homies in the studio and in da streets. These niggas are like the G-Unit and them homies in Crime Mob. As you come up, they come up.

4). Establish Some Street Cred
If you ain’t got no street cred, you ain’t going nowhere in the rap hip hop game! To get street cred, you gon have to do some dirt. There ain’t no way around it. Check Beyonce and Destiny’s Child in they lick, “Soldier.”

If your status ain't hood

I ain't checkin' for him

Betta be street if he lookin' at me

I need a soldier

That ain't scared to stand up for me

Known to carry big things

The rap game is the same way, if yo status ain’t hood, the street ain’t gon be checkin fo yo raps, ya feel me? You gon need a rap sheet to come up big in this game. If you a slinga or clocker, served time or got pending charges, you in the game. If you don’t have no criminal record, you gonna need to create one. If you have a regular job, you need to quit it. If you go to school, you need to drop out! And don’t mention none of that punk azz weak s-h-y-a-t to the streets. That shyt will dilute yo street cred.

All the big time rappers have mad street cred. They have either been arrested, been shot at, shot someone or smoked a nigga. They use to trap or they still trappin. If not that, they’ve been incarcerated, have pending charges or trials, or their names are constantly being mentioned with breaking the law.

On the real tip, you gotta keep the street buzzing bout yo jock, by doin illegal shyt. Don’t worry my niggas, the street gon back you! You saw Bobby Brown, when Hot 99.5 put up his get out of jail money. That’s how we roll homie! Erbody feelin rappers!

You should be doin dirt like: trappin, carrying illegal weapons, gittin into fights in da club, DWI, possession of illegal substance, domestic violence, driving on a suspended license or other dumb shyt like that. Keep’em talking bout you homie; as you do dirt, yo CD sales gonna go through the roof!

5). Don’t Rap Bout No Positive Shit

Yo raps gotta be about bitches, hoes, bling bling, trappin, slingin, robberies, bangin, clubbin, pimpin, jackin and killin. If you tryna drop that postive shyt, drop it at the church. This is hip hop nigga; this ain’t no inspiration network. Homies and hip hop honeys wanna hear bout the thug life, know what I’m sayin?

6). Talk and Rap Like a Thug
Yo street lingo got’s to be on point, ya feel me? If you don’t know how to cuss, you gotta’s learn! You shit has got to be mixed and laced with cuss words. You gotta be offensive to the point where we have to put a parental advisory on yo CD cover. Forget all that shyt yo peeps taught you. If you raps ain’t foul and straight nasty, yo CD sales gon be flat. The nastier, the betta, aight?

7). Start Some Beefs

Beefs is one of the quickest ways to increase your exposure and star power. Starting beefs is easy. Just pick out a well know rapper and call him out. Put down his raps, trash talk his hoes, talk about his label and say whatever it takes to punk his azz out and force him retaliate. The street loves this shyt. That's why they publish it in the magazines and talk about it on TV and radio. These beefs increase their ratings, which in turn increases they advertising rates. That brings me to my next pointm when you start these beefs, watch yo back, and...

8). Pack Some Heat
Remember this, you just jumped in the rap game. Which means, you surrounded yourself with some ruthless mothaf%$kers. These niggas will make a 2-year-old child smoke dope, steal your beats and lyrics, jack yo whip, snatch yo bling bling and take yo hoe if they catch yo azz slippin. If the moment calls fo, you gon have to show yo manhood and smoke a nigga. Some beefs only gonna be settled with heat, ya feel me? Erbody know how Gucci Mane almost got smoked; watch yo back at all times, aight?

9). Pimp Dem Hoes

Yo stock in the game goes up as you proudly pimp dem hoes. Pimp’em in yo CDs, pimp’em in yo videos and pimp’em in da streets. You got’s to let the street know that you don’t give a shyt bout them hoes. If you get married, you gotta dis that hoe by being seen with other hoes in yo videos and in the streets. We rap kings and erbody knows we don’t love them hoes, so git you some video hoes, sideline hoes, tricks and groupie hoes.

If you take all of these steps, yo gonna be a famous rapper, homie!
