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?
