I am 33 years old. The average hip hop artist has got to be much younger than that. I am over the hill according to the members of the cool hip hop crowd. Maybe....or maybe not. Some of the most successful hip hop artists can still be relevant well into their late thirties, or even the early forties. The point I am trying to make is that you don't have to be a spring chicken in order to be successful in the hip hop business. All you need is the drive to move forward. Most people are just too comfortable where they're at to move forward.
I love hip hop music and the feeling you get just from being around it. One could almost feel the beats rumble through every inch of their body as they move in rhythm on the dance floor. A lot of people would love to be a hip hop artist, but just don't know how to start. Hey, I am no mogul, but one thing I can tell you is that a great jumping off point would be locating some catchy beats. With a little research you will find how easy ideas can come to you. In fact you can probably find some free hip hop beats on the Internet.
I remember going to a club once when I was younger and seeing the reactions to the different hip hop songs the DJ would spin. People went crazy every time a new, gripping hip hop record was played. I was fascinated by this. Here were a group of strangers who seemed to be united by their admiration for killer hip hop beats. I knew then that I wanted to be in the hip hop world. I was young, single and felt that I could do anything. When I told my uncle about my ambitions he introduced me to a friend of his that was a small time local record producer. I went by to visit him and he gave me some free hip hop beats to back up the rap lyrics I had been writing. We had some great sessions but for reasons I cant remember, the producer and I were never able to get a finished product. All I have left are memories.
Now, some 13 years later, I still wonder how far I might have gone. There is nothing to keep me from picking up where I left off so who knows, maybe I will dust off the brain and try and come up with some catchy rhymes and look for some free hip hop beats, ( I will try and start with as little money as possible just in case I am way past my prime,) and try my hand at an old talent. Wish me luck.
