Secret 2 I want to learn how to rap, I don't know how am going to start it, I've got alot but yet can't comprehend how am going start it, I love rap so much, I really need so much lesson

[@michaeloliver3831]

And also is not my talent, but i struggle go hard to keep it has my duty zone, my hater's always saying about me, that can't rap, but I keep to ignore that statement, it really hot my heart but i gotto bend down my head nd focus, always on record track, writing songs, sometimes i if like can't do it because nobody was willing to support me, I was step down, fucking lose control of myself I really need so much guidelines, nd supportive hands, i know opportunity comes but once no matter what,

[@michaelgoronsky]

I try to take any criticism and reframe it to make me feel better. I'll take a few minutes to think about what they said. Then I'll shift my focus to what I can do to deal with the remarks so I can up my game. There will always be times where emotional overload hits but I do my best to remind myself that it's gonna happen and it's all inevitable and part of the process.

what i respect the most in Eminem is his ability to choose wisely them very specific words that describe a whole situation in 3 words. It echos what i used to hear from my english teacher all the time : good writing is specific

Eminems work ethic is rarely talked about. He acted for a while in 8 mile but he poured hours into learning acting. Hes the type of guy can be good at something if you put your mind into it.

[@GrazsPlace]

You aint kidding about people sleeping on his work ethic. That dedication to his craft is what likely started his pill addiction. He was doing so much, all at one time, that it gets to where you HAVE to take substances to maintain. At one time, he was working on an album, the 8 Mile film, the soundtrack to the film, and executive producing 2pac's Loyal To the Game album. Not to mention, having to go home and take care of his kids..

This is actually a trope of most highly talented individuals, it’s actually very VERY rare to be exceptional without putting the long hours in of honing a skill. Moving to another art skill like tattoo artist- no body started good at drawing, some might learn concepts faster but if you wanna draw that good expect thousands of hours and countless pages of art which isn’t that standard Why do I bring this up? I am a tattoo artist and taught a student who had very weak drawings skill but lots of motivation- his drawings now are good enough that people all think he just got natural talent, they have no idea he was drawing bad 2d cartoons that had awful posture when he started Natural talent is real- but it’s the WEAKEST asset to have for success, you better off being naturally useless but motivated to become good at something

As a Brazilian, I started rapping as soon as 8 Mile was released. His music had so much impact in my life that since then I started studying English, I was 13 yo at the time. Nowadays I still rap for fun and on top of that I'm an English teacher.

[@Watersign1881]

This is exactly what I needed to hear! I started rapping over the summer, but with still being in college and now starting grad school this semester, I have definitely been hesitant to fully put myself out there. I still love writing rhymes bc it’s like therapy to me to express how I’m feeling in a creative way. I keep finding myself wondering if I’m jumping the gun or if I’m holding back. Hearing that Eminem had similar struggles in the beginning of his pursuit is very comforting! - Rah

[@deviiser2879]

Nows a good time to start if u can juggle rapping and college because college is a huge audience for u. Best of luck. Keep going.

[@cinnabeard]

quite a while back I got a cheap virtual DJ mixer for christmas and I messed around with that thing for months by myself in my room. I was performing for me alone, but I was enjoying myself and improving, experimenting and being serious, and a thought kept rolling around my head, "I wonder if anyone else thinks this sound good? What if I recorded a set and put it on youtube?" but I was too anxious to actually try it for fear of negative comments. Well, some guys and gals I eventually started playing games online with regularly were one day talking about the same kind of music I liked to mix and I chimed in with how I actually had a little mixer and liked to mess around mixing that genre. They encouraged me to let them listen and because they all sounded positive about hearing it and they were my friends, I played a set of some of my favorite tracks to put together. The response was overwhelming to me and it was a huge confidence boost. Since then, joining other Discord servers with one friend or the other when everyone else wasn't online, I sometimes get asked to show everyone, so I give in and do it and people I don't even know tell me it sounded great. Back to the present, I don't really mess around with it because I ended up getting into a demanding career, but I just want to leave you with one big piece of knowledge I gained from those experiences: People WILL like what you do. Not everybody, sure, but there will be people who do. They will want to hear more of what you do. If you can find the courage to put yourself out there a little bit, seeing that your art is accepted touches you like nothing else. And maybe one day, your art will touch someone else in a way they didn't know they needed. I stopped messing with production and DJing about 10 years ago, but if I hadn't? If I had kept putting myself out there more and more? Makes me wonder how differently these past ten years might have shaped me now...

[@GoldenChild_TV]

Keep going, I just graduated grad school and I’ve been writing songs for over a year now but my process got better and everyday, just stay consistent

[@JEFFMAN90]

Needed this for real. I started rapping in 09 when I was 17 but then stopped when I was 23 because I felt that I wasn't good enough. I then got into making beats in 2016 and got really good at it. But now I have the urge to start rhyming again and this time over my own production. Need to start writing more consistently though.

[@jaylenelliott9470]

I write music all the time i just dont feel as tho its good enough to go mainstream but at the same time im confident im my musical talent it would be nice to let someone who is also musically talented hear me cuz i been tryna look for a mentor or someone to work with cuz support is the biggest part of music and blasting off

Wow, that's too young. I wasn't allowed to listen to explicit rap music until I was 18. My dad took me CD shopping on my 18th birthday, and one of the CD's he bought me was the Marshall Mathers LP . Of course I listened to explicit rap behind my parents back before I was 18, and I was allowed to have the edited versions of some rap CD's, like Cypress Hill's Black Sunday, East 1999 Eternal by Bone Thugs n Harmony, Rated PG-13 by Da Brat, Regulate G Funk Era by Warren G, In My Lifetime vol 2 by Jay-Z, and Missy Elliot's debut album Supa Dupa Fly. But I wasn't allowed to watch music videos, unfortunately.

[@superrrnova1986]

Its always reassuring hearing the thoughts of Em. I've been writing on and off for a year. I have 12 songs I'm currently working on. They've turned into obscene word documents. Each containing dozens of songs of material. I am constantly writing entire songs. Tearing them to pieces to start-over. I saw a video with Em saying he does the same, even now.. And that he has 50 songs written to throw at each album. I am happy being patient. I'm happy with the idea of continually improving my work. I'm happy waiting until I'm happy. My dream is to make an album off all original music. I am a musician so can produce all the music. Write and perform all the bars. Get some of my amazing friends to feature. If it sells zero copies, I don't care. This is what I like doing now :)

From perpetration to elation, Im an animal that needs caging, You'll be left with facial displation, Rearrangement, Complacent, with your blood curdling raging, Im a demon perched in your basement, Waiting to be awakened from where I'm stationed...

What's missing is that you have to be sort of crazy to be really talented at something because most people won't put all that time into practicing for hours a day. Most athletes or even famous actors have this drive most people will never have because they're a little crazy. It's like an obsession to them. Most very smart people are the same. They can't seem to put the books down or stop packing knowledge. It's an obsession to them. You can tell Em has it. He even talks about reading the dictionary a lot. Who does that? Not even most teachers are that obsessed for knowledge.

It's important to stress that being a world class rapper takes more than just raw skill. Eminem was very controversial at the height of his fame the media and press gave him so much buzz and publicity. Bottom line is being talented is a small part of becoming a rap star this is why there are so many trash rappers who make it big and skilled rappers who go nowhere. You need to have a relentless work ethic, a strong marketing/PR team, a manager/agent and build a loyal fanbase.

Fame is right outside my door figuratively speaking. I've earned this self-confidence, skill level, keen determination among other things for the last 22 years. I've never once in my life walked away from this. A man plays a game or fights in a war to win it. Words like 'if', 'maybe' and the like were never factors regarding my musical conquest. In my perspective; this has always been a simple walking to a specified destination/location. As simple as walking to it meaning certainty is an understatement. It's been more like, 'Duh!' for me

Glad you didn't quit

I started writing rhymes back in 2012, recorded a single, cringed when I heard myself. So I stopped for a while, went to college, got married and started a family. But I’m back now and I’m not going back. I wanna rap for a living.

[@Ghostridden]

I had a dream twice where eminem is freestyling and I wake up and realize it's my own mind. Do you think I should go for it and practice? It's always been a dream of mine.

[@r6yyo]

yea just over time develop your own style thats unique but still catchy and you’re guaranteed to get some type of traction with the right marketing and promotion

[@JJMCIGOR]

i got told since im white i could never rap but soon i started learning to rap and rapped at school and proved them wrong

[@ElectricMan3444]

Whoever said that is pure mean. Your race doesn’t matter when it comes to talent. Anyone can do anything with practice!! I’m happy you proved them wrong!

Eminem is the rapper who made me want to start rapping. Coming out of Belgium tho, I have to say it’s not easy, since English isn’t the main language they speak here and I have been writing lyrics in English for quite a while now. I quit and came back multiple times and I just recently got into it again. I haven’t ever been this motivated, the only thing that bothers me is that I still find it hard to come up with punchlines since I’m not a native English speaker. Would anyone have some tips? lmfao

[@killzann7757]

Amazing.. Thanks for this video

I didn't really miss you at first But now your are an important part I cant skip you I remember, silly things we used to do Do you forget? When you were with me nothing was scary But now the is f***ing scaring Even though nothing went on the way Today was a good day I forgot you exist I used to ignore you Things were same and time flew Although you came after it was all over I know I've got someone for the future

[@tenex3240]

Heyy, try checking out my recent record "Not Really Love You", would "Really Love" to have you there :)

[@saliva1305]

[@arsindmp9202]

You didn’t really rhyme

[@juggernautnation369]

I Didnt Really Miss You Now Your Under My Skin Thought I Was Strong But Can't Just Consider You Friend, Cuz Deep Down Privately Im Wishing For Amends, I've Been Gone In My Mind So I Picked Up This Pen Thinking Where Did We Go Wrong? I Just Want This To End But Now Your Just A Memory And All Them Pictures Of Us Got Me Thinking About The Missing Pieces Of Our History, Just Hear Me Out I Hope Your Listening Please Cuz I Remember Every Little Thing That You Said To Me, I Remember The Fights I Remember Your Kiss Too, I Remember You Next To Me At Night And Your Perfume, Its Just Hard To Say Goodbye I'd Like To Say I'll See You Soon But That Aint The Case As I Sit Alone In This Empty Room

[@swisscheeseplzz]

I ball hard like a Vet, try to guard me I’m shootin it’s wet, like a OG they don’t call me Annunboy, but I got the shot like I’m Kobe, 100 shots to the face, 50 shots in the case, 50 more smacks to her cake, none left for the homie Jake, plenty of water inside the Vase, popped a Perc and called it a day, we gon lurk like everyday, she gon get to work and then call me bae

[@kylormiller242]

I quit writing after my brain injury in 2020 :( but I do plan to start again. My brain just doesn’t focus the same as it once did but I want to get back to writing again for sure!

[@MurphMagic1]

There’s a difference between talent and skill. Em’s talent is not rapping…his talent is in the way his mind works and his ability to verbally translate. He just applied that natural gift and honed it to the art of rapping because that’s what he was interested in. He could have applied his natural gift to speaking, or writing books and so on….

[@seyidovahid]

He is actually teaching how to start programming

this when you lock in and find your self and your sound and just practice till you can get a stu

[@ayooomeech]

This is what I needed to hear! I get nervous in front of a crowd because I feel like I’m not good enough but have loved music and studied it since I was a kid! I just don’t want to make a song that doesn’t make sense. So im hard in myself! I’m going to keep going and keep trying until I get better at it!

Again drew what is my Chance of rap in English in a country that doesn't support English salute from Morocco 🙏✊🏿💥

You don’t need one country to blow up, internet has made rap global

[@Reads23]

Word up

[@smmusicplus96]

I'm not even a rapper. I searched, "Freestyle writing", as in books. This was on top. I'm grateful I clicked this video.

[@DL-sp6dv]

Honestly the reason I stopped writing was because of legends like eminem. I felt like I had to rhyme just like them, have wordplay just like them, cadence just like them. It became tough

[@aaaaaaaaaalrightythen9953]

Em is so fucking talented that he’ll inspire you to start rapping but also make you wanna quit at the same time lmao 😅

[@DL-sp6dv]

Practice means more then natural born talent without a doubt!

[@samsmusichub]

I wouldn't say he "UNKNOWINGLY" gave the advice. He knows what he's doing.

[@mindy1230]

I'm using this for writing. I have always been a word nerd. Scrabble was like chess, the origins of each word I could guess. I took a 4 hour test in comprehension and got 100 right.. I admire eminem and his art form. I don't wanna Rap myself.

[@TheyyHateJay]

im 13 and i wanted to rap my whole life but i aint know how to but now i been writing for 2 month (i'm not very good) i need to practice rythming

[@Tressy-l1q]

Cute and humility and art and raw mix. I really appreciate him. ❤❤❤❤. Rock on. Thanks for holding on.

[@darkminer14]

I think that should be like put on a plague somewhere. "Once I found out i was decent at something, I just kinda focused and went for it." That's just so powerful

[@Localhero727]

I'm excited to use these lessons outside of rapping

[@MiaRosenbloom]

Some people have natural talent, other people have to develop their talent, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Even natural talent can only go so far without practice, practice makes all the difference.

[@logansalas3001]

My most discouraging moment was when my school would do a talent show kinda thing. You go to the organiser and tell them what you want to do and sortta audition for it. So I rapped Without Me and I was in. Cool! So I kept working on that song to get it perfect and give it my all. When the day came and I did my thing, I was literally booed off stage. Never performed rap again, other than practicing at home

[@unbeknownstx12]

One of the best things i can say is record as many songs as u possibly can even learn engineering an producing yourself the time and learning of structures an what goes where comes with time an be a fan of poetry give meaning to your lyrics

[@Eldahkrab]

2:46 Same i gave up at 15 i started because i know one of my neighbour can rap he did a rap battle in a park i remember i was there and i think he stills rap but i am back at 21 and wont give up this time and hold a solid rap career and stop till am 60 i dont know when to blow up Eminem on this video blew up at 26 we have our times once i am really good i will still be practicing.
