No, absolutely not. It’s gotta be in your genes. When Nas poppped out, first thing he did was accidentally ether the attending nurse. When Biggie was 5 he spat his way out of a fist fight. After he flunked his first grade, AZ penned “Life’s a Bitch”. So yeah, it’s gotta be in your blood son. You can’t just hone these skills! It’s exactly like the X-Men. You gotta be born with it. |

November 1st, 2012 Troy Womble 45,499 Upvote+4Downvote You absolutely can learn to rap, look at artists like Childish Gambino, guy started as an actor and a comedian. ‘Ye started as a producer (along with countless other rappers). You can be born with musical talent, you can be born with the talent to rap, but it’s absolutely a learnable skill. Technicality is really where “skill” comes in, anybody can hop on a beat and spit, where talent really shows, and where skill really shows is your ability to manipulate words and make them flow together, twist the way words sound in order to make them flow or rhyme, multi-syllabic rhymes, assononance, etc. All of that is learnable, but it takes dedication, it takes practice, it takes passion. Some people are just born talented in that area, some people pick it up easier than others, same with any other thing really. I’ve written raps/lyrics/poetry for years and sometimes recorded myself for the heck of it. I wouldn’t call myself the GOAT rapper, but I know I could spit, sure I’d probably get bodied when put up against a real MC, but then again, I’m not an MC, I just like to spit, and if I wanted to be an MC, I’d have to really work at it. Even these sixteen, seventeen year old kids, it’s not like they just picked up a mic one day and spit a track like “Earl” (using Earl as an example.) Earl said in a tweet that he’d been writing since he was like 14, so obviously he’d been practicing and developing already for years before most of us had heard him. Look at Eminem’s “Foolish Pride” tape from way back when he was a kid, listen to how bad that is compared to himself now. If you can take a phenom like Eminem and scale him down to the amateur that he was, you see that rapping is a skill, a learned skill, not just something someone is born talented at. Never forget this: Every person on this planet has at least one good song in them. November 1st, 2012 Griffe¥ Jr. 5,810 Upvote+0Downvote Kanye was actually a rapper before producer, and the stay on topic, I think you can learn anything, ANYTHING |

rukan23 27,181 Upvote+0Downvote ANYONE can rap(not necessarily good) if they love it, like i mean really love it i think it’s just a creative way to express life experience and feelings, its da best dawg November 1st, 2012 DaBait 1,377 Upvote+4Downvote For as long as I can remember I have had a stuttering problem. Although just as long I have been wanting to be heard. So understanding my natural rhythm was a discovery that I cherished with me as I began to rap. Now even though I can’t speak normally with my peers, I can rhyme and flow better than the rest of them. |
Celebrities / Is The Ability To Rap A Learned Skill Or Are You Born With The Ability? by Awkuzuboi(m): 10:14am On Jun 06, 2020 |
I’m a white kid from Virginia who actually grew up with an extreme hate towards rap. Now I’m a little older and was exposed to rap that wasn’t just the pathetic mainstream music on the radio. I certainly wasn’t born with it. I began writing about 3 years ago. If I compare those raps to something today, I’ve improved a lot in my opinion. I learned much about multi-syllablic rhymes, double/triple entendres, and flow. I don’t think where you come from has anything to do with it. It can be learned, but it takes dedication. Christian or Muslim, Urban or rural, black or white, this country or that country, as long as what you spit is real, lyrical, and beneficial to the listener, I respect it. Skizza306 7,696 Upvote+2Downvote There are certain innate abilities that can greatly improve / increase your chances of being good (pleasing vocal timbre, natural confidence, good linguistic skills, etc. etc.) but to be good you will also have to work at it. Think of it like sports that way: MJ could’ve never been as great as he was without his natural height and athleticism, but he also would’ve never been as great if he didn’t put in all the work and training that he did. |

Celebrities / Top Ten (10) Weirdest People And Experiences I've Had by Awkuzuboi(m): 1:25pm On Apr 26, 2020 |
There they go, and remember; These are not jokes 10. Killer kid: After heated prayers, this five year old smallie claims she killed her uncle. The man just graduated from flying school on scholarship to be the first pilot in the whole local government. 9. Mama's nose: After soaping, scrubbing bathing, creaming and wearing clothes, momsy breathed in and knew I used her soap. And I wasn't near her . Her nose na die, she can know you farted before you do sef 8 Hulk: eyes changes colour when the guy is angry. Scary. 7. Alien rapper: He doesn't need to listen to the beat or warm up, he just jumps on it and be dropping bars, punchlines in perfect rhyme at full speed. Funny thing is he is always hungry and flat broke. Lol 6: perfect husband: Perfectionists; this one is plenty, they can't sleep or breathe normally if things are not in order or well arranged. They can wake up in the midnight to sweep the room 5. Spiritual children: Ever heard a story of somebody dieing somewhere and reappearing someplace else. It happen near my village only that the woman gave birth to children before vanishing. The first daughter is a grown lady now sef. 4: stop thief: I sympathize with the girl. Oyinbo calls it kleptomania. 3: shitty inspiration: I feel comfortable on toilet seat. I don't know if it is because it has the strongest network signal in the house or because I think clearly there. I even had the idea for this post and started writing comfortably there 2: World cup: I had a classmate in primary school, very nice and generous. My seat mate, but her lies no be here. She once said fire burnt there house down leaving a can of groundnut oil untouched. How? 1 Me: Awkuzuboi can regurgitate his food. Its embarassing, annoying and he wishes it to stop but sometimes he secretly enjoys it. Nobody notices by the way. Amidst other weirdness. So which number are you.

Crime / My Sad Experience With Nigerian Police Anticult brutality by Awkuzuboi(m): 10:33am On Apr 21, 2020 |
I watch crime movies and see stuff like police drive to your house, says many things and ends it with 'you are under arrest' bla bla bla. You are gently handcuffed and led to a car. Let me tell you my experience. Thursday night 8:pm nine of us were sitting outside a shop getting ready to leave. When a bus pulled up dangerously in front. Our own men in black jumped out with guns and matchetes hollering 'na dem na dem, lie down'. I looked up from the ground and there was a gun to my face, a mo'fucking pump action to my underaged face. Naso them flog my guy cutlass. Loaded seven of us into the back of a bus, see social distancing. At the station it wasn't some across the table something. You where handcuffed like sey dem wan burn you with tire and flogged with cutlass or hit with axehead till you chose cult. The pain was mad my guy out of confusion said was an aro aye Lol. All of them picked different cults aye, bagger, eiye etc. I no free, they said I was JVC and beat me tire I still no gree they say I be aye the beating continued. Long story short, my underaged arse slept in a cell and released after the National students president came for us. The next day I met my guy the Norse men executioner in my area he just got released too. Small thing I for don be bloody Viking now. I for no talk sef till I read my man makavelli25 experience with same police. mine was their anticult department (spacs) The other day my guy asked me between police and politicians who should die first? Cc saynotocultism. |
Education / Re: Help Needed by Awkuzuboi(m): 11:45pm On Mar 19, 2020 |
Last year I applied for pharmacy and scored 246 in Jamb. Well, I strolled to the VC's office (ANSU) baba told me its a good score but lemme change it to biochemistry, then switch after I get admission, I did. Long story short, Momsy doesn't want a biochemist. Local man rewrote. But that VC's advice is valid. Hope this helps. |
