    Certainly, if the highest selling rapper of all time, clocking in at a whopping 227 million units sold, is telling you HE wasn’t good at first and and that HE needed to keep practicing…
    …Why should anyone else think they won’t need to practice as well?
    Why would anyone think they need to be “born with it”?
    As we’ll see in a minute, Eminem doesn’t just stop here in explaining how to rap.
    He is about to give timeless insights into the art of how to start rapping…
    But for step #1, it’s crucial to understand this:
    When you hear somebody in person or in a comment box say something like, “You’re either born with it or you’re not…” or “You can’t teach talent…”
    Understand now that even some of the greatest rappers of all time don’t agree with that.
    Artists like Shady humbly understand that rapping at an elite world-class level is DIFFICULT and not something easily come by.
    Additionally, you might have missed another secret window into the life of a beginning rapper embedded in the quote that started this article.
    Let’s run back the tape:
    “I had to keep practicing, practicing, and practicing.
    I gave it up for a little while then I started up again when I was like 15.
    I was afraid to put out there, I was afraid to say my raps because I felt like I wasn’t good enough. So I had to get to a certain spot.
    Once I found out I was decent at something, I just kind of focused and went for it. I was all-in.”
    Similarly to step #2, Eminem sneaks in another gem here that many people seem to go by: he actually GAVE UP for a little way but then came back to it.
    What was the difference maker between Eminem and just another “bedroom rapper” as we like to call them?
    He actually came back to what he started.
    How many people do you know (or maybe that person is yourself) who have “dabbled” in writing rhymes or making a song or two, and then went back to their normal life?
    Probably a lot. The hardest part of that is usually not starting…
    But actually COMING BACK once you’ve begun.
    There’s no problem with being nervous in the beginning.
    In fact, Shady said that he was scared to put anything out until he PERSONALLY felt confident about what he was kicking…
    …But he DID eventually put something out.
    But Shady in this clip has unknowingly described the secret sauce to had to deal with this hurdle:
    You must, must, must come back.
    And don’t just come back, once you start again… keep practicing, practicing, and practicing.

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.

      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

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

      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...

    Dont trip,
    no hesitation,
    no slight increase in respiration,
    Migration... From perpetration to elation,
    Im an animal that needs caging,
    You'll be left with facial displation,
    Rearrangement,

    Waiting to be awakened from where I'm stationed...

    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 :)

    What Eminem said about going over his verses so much that he couldn't find a single flaw when he heard it back was great, I'm currently writing a novel, The Buddha and The Wolf, and I'm on the 10th edit, and sometimes I feel that I'm going over it too much, but that comment perfectly encapsulates why I'm paying such attention to detail. Great video.

    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.
