What the hell is that supposed to mean? Are you trying to say that hip-hop is a venue for the uneducated? A last hope for people with no smarts or skills? I take exception to that. One could ask the same of all facets of the entertainment industry. After all, how smart do you have to be in a profession where "talent" is the word of the day? As long as you can read, and possibly write well enough to sign autographs, youre pretty much okay, I'm sure. Matter of factly, I'm sure that all people behind the scenes in movies, music, etc. would love to have a talented dingbat who they could pay minimal amounts of money to on their roster.

Is this a joke?  There were probably tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions of African-American Biology majors in colleges and universities across the US.

I'd guess a few million with an undergraduate degree.\n\nI know around 100,000 MBA degrees are awarded each year.

I know the route everyone tries to go with hip hop beats is to make them, and then try to sell them to a rapper and get paid for providing tracks. However, I don't think people tend to have a lot of luck with this. On Soundclick, there are thousands of people trying to do that, and few make any money. There are tons of copies of Fruity Loops and Reason out there.\n\nWhat you would be better off doing is finding a rapper to collaborate directly with. Form a group - you doing the music, the rapper, the rap. Then try and market yourselves the traditional way... hitting up A&R men, doing club dates, etc.\n\n(P.S. I'm not sure one can claim to be a "computer musician." Fruity Loops is not a musical instrument, although it can be a useful tool for composing.)

practice makes perfect. u really dont have to do those battle things if u dont want to. cuz how many rappers did u see go on battels??u said ur a good writer, well continue on doing that n hopefully u get far with tht. send sum tapes of urself to music company's nonstop,cuz if u only send one then they wont pay much attention to it but if u send several it would prolly get there attention if u good.  GOOD LUCK!!

the International academy of design, is pretty good and a lot of their grads get jobs. Could be very expensive though.

Eminem is probably the most gifted rapper in Hip Hop.  There is no one out there who can flow with him.  He can rhyme with words that you wouldn't expect to rhyme.  Dido is cool too!

I am a Graphic Designer.  I could not possibly think of a cooler job for me.  I had to work very hard to convince my parents to allow me to major in Art, they thought I would be selling paintings on the sidewalk, I guess.  But I worked very, very hard and earned my Bachelor's Degree in Fine Art and now I get paid to draw pictures everyday!  I love it!

I don't know if I believe 12%. Maybe only 12% of the players who left early went back to get their degree.\n\nI'd say 50-60%, including the veterans who did stay for all 4 years.
