10 Ways to Make Me Think You are a Wack Rapper

1. Say "I'm not ____________(enter favorite rappers name)" but I ______________(enter that rappers song title/vice). Example...I'm not Young Jeezy, but I'm a Go Getta.

2. Name a bunch of other songs in your song. Example..."I got big things poppin, so I lean wit it rock wit it, got money in the bank, so I'm beatin' down the block wit it." (don't bite my lyrics (lol)...see number 3)

3. Bite lyrics from another rapper as if it were your own. A one line tribute is cool (if the song you bit from is a classic and not still on the damn charts)

4. All you can rap about is your rims, car, how much drugs you do, or how much money you have. (shout out to the fools throwing their rent money and child support at strippers)

5. You curse more than 2 times before your first verse even comes in.

6. You have no vocabulary (see also number 5). Read a book!

7. At an open mic night, don't blame the sound system or the DJ for your lack of professionalism. Even professionals run into technical difficulties, but they know how to work through it. Learn to.

8. You are too cheap to get an original track.

9. I can tell within 1 verse who your favorite rapper is.

10. You need 10 other dudes on stage to make you look hype.

I have been a sound man for years and evertime I do a rap sho I get blamed for the lack of professionalizm on stage. Here are some of the things that are obvious to me but not to the talentless people on stage.
1. If you cover the mic with your hand it will sound muffeled. 2 if you have 20 homies on stage in front of the monitors you wont hear yourself.
3. what you hear on stage in not what people in the audience hear.
4. Loud does not equal good.
5. "Turn My Mic Up" is not a lyric
6. spraying water on the equipment is not good for the sound
More to come...
