To preface my post, yes I'm new here. I've lurked for a little while and I feel like this place is the perfect way to leverage the "unproductive" and "self-destructive" desires I have to legitimately improve myself.
I'm wrapping up my third year of Engineering school, and two more years should net me a Master's (and with it a semi-sweet 80k/year job).
I could (relatively) easily live cheaply in the South, spend my time Gaming, and invest the vast majority of my salary for the next 10-15 and become modestly wealthy.
But I've always wanted to rap. I know I have a talent for it, me and one of my fraternity brothers are constantly free-styling and girls find it very impressive. I daresay I'm as good as many you hear on the radio every day.
The problem is, it seems like actually being good at rapping is the least important part of becoming a rapper. Ideally I'd like to stick to school as a solid ass backup plan, but should I pursue my dream of rapping? The Alpha Male in me says yes, but the little Beta in the back of my head tells me I have no idea where to start...
