Should I chase my dream?

Hello my name is Nathan. I am very conflicted right now as to what I should do with my life, if you hate on me I don't care bro I know that this is gonna bring the trolls out from the woodworks but this is for the people that actually want to hear my story. Ok to start off I have had kinda a rough life, not as bad as some but in my 17 years I have been through a lot of pain, and one thing that helps me cope with that is Hip-Hop now I know that a lot of off-topic hates rap but there is good and bad and the good has helped me and even saved my life on one occasion. So when I was about 15 I started to put my anger,pain and hurt into lyrics, there not very good but when I let loose and just get lost in the music i don't feel that pain so I started flowing with the artists on my iPod then after a while I memorized my favorite songs then I started just rapping when I was struggling. It's my dream to be a rapper it has been for several years I have rapped for some of my friends and they said I have talent. What worries me is that my life has been hard but you I'll at these guys like Eminem Yelawolf and JayZ and I look like I'm a rich kid. I'm white and am from Texas so I of course am afraid no one will take me seriously if I try to start making music. I mean to most people I just look like some white gamer kid. It's my dream to make music I have a deep passion for. Hip-Hop has changed my life. What are you guy's thoughts, comments,hate,or concerns?

  • Rap is dead. You need to look ahead at the next big thing. Start a barbershop quartet. The music is cool and hip and it's making a comeback.

  • Serius answer: yes do what you want but try to have a plan B if it fails. I couldnt resist answer: you dont need to chase your dreams, they are created by your mind and are already in your head.

  • Dude. Get a guitar and learn a few chords. Make your shit unique, play chords and spit rhymes. Get a cute girl to sing some hooks. You can make real music and get away from that sinking boat they call rap.

    Chase your dreams. As long as your music is good I don't think people will care if your from Texas. Or white

      • A wild Dan Bull appeared When gamers came along, the planet laughed at us But this is gaming in the future and you haven't heard the last of us Dismissing this is just an enormous fallacy So open your mind, and let it alter your reality Hey geeks I bring a message from the future There's a new revolution heading to computers It's '73, but it won't be too long 'Til we can get the TV to play a game of Pong But it's time to breakout of the house The crazy days of Space Invaders await us Arcade potatoes Swap the shooting range For computer games Arcade renaissance Pre-8-bit's blooming days A new decade Welcome to the 80's Pac-Man's the latest new craze Q*Bert's the rage The first personal computers let loose As Manic Miner grabs your time, and to fight is truly useless Elite gave legions of wee little boys A deep space region and freedom of choice Now here comes the console The first one sold portended an industry of dimensions untold The birth of franchise Mario Brothers Donkey Kong, Monty Mole, I'd tell you the others But, the list would go on and on Longer than I can tell Until the 90's when the game became handheld Meanwhile. I bought stories of another time And point-and-click arrived from the shores of Monkey Island Ever want to see your chums beat right up? Well, Daniel-san, you need to try Street Fighter A tournament with all your buddies in your front room Is all good until you fight online on Doom Hijack your mind, your momma can't abide this Night Trap might lack morals, it's a moral crisis What are we doing to our youth? They're shooting people Glued to screens with superglue Computers need to be banned when the laws broke Ban Manhunt Ban Grand Theft Auto Try something musical, but if you have a sore throat I have what you're after Parappa the Rapper Tomb Raider, the tune invades your brain Get in her way and she'll make you taste the pain A sports a game always and it's hard fact Then a game became a sport and its name was Starcraft Kids used to play with dolls and a house The Sims is the same, but controlled with a mouse Open worlds abound, but rarely 3D, hey Until the Elder Scrolls and GTA Wait 'til you see the scale of the monsters and bosses That you face in Shadow of the Colossus Things are getting bigger, more decisions, more maps Millions of simultaneous players in Warcraft All the people So many people See, your whole family can get involved in Wii Sports And more people means more money, more flair For big blockbusters COD: Modern Warfare Even more people, more freedom, more Indie games Limbo, Fez, Super Meat Boy, Braid Revolutionizing gameplay A mind blast Constructing infinite destructible worlds Minecraft Gaming on the telephone, yes I know it sounds absurd Fruit Ninja, Farmville, Angry Birds

        • Do what you enjoy. Well, but be sure to make one or two back up plans.

            • No. Give up on life. Accept your fate. Take that low paid job. Marry that woman and grow old together.Watch what was once a loving relationship turn from such to one of tolerance, to one where she is doing your friend, to sadness, to outright loathing. Welcome the sweet embrace of death, then know you will decay as the earth slowly dies, billions of years before the entire collapse of our galaxy and then the heat death of the universe. Or....you could...you know....follow that dream.

                • Do what you love in life, nothings worth more than being happy. If this makes you happy, do it. Dont let others drag you down

                • If you can be happy doing anything else, then no. Don't. If you can't be happy doing anything else, then go for it.

                      • Just keep practicing on writing your lyrics and stay determined if you really want it.

                          The only thing stopping you from your dream would be yourself. As long as you don't give up and stay diligent, you can accomplish anything
