HowTo:Become a Hit Rapper

You wanna be the next 50 Cent but have no talent? If so, here's the guide for you!

A famous rapper, Soulja Boy.

Step 1: Creating a seemingly meaningful name

What do Soulja Boy Tell 'Em, 50 Cent, and Flo Rida have in common? Seemingly meaningful names!

The key to a rapper's name is to make up something that has nothing to do with your life but could. For example Soulja Boy suggests he has history in the army, but he doesn't. Flo Rida suggests he's from Florida and 50 Cent suggests he's cheap but wait... he is... nevermind...

Step 2: Get a record deal

This is easy. Go to a record company, wear some stolen bling and dance to a beat while dropping down pointless rhymes. Easy.

Step 3: Basis for an album

The point of a rap album is to make one decent song so people will buy your album and to convince themselves the other songs are good. This is shown with rapper, Akon, when he made only one good song but people said the others were good, too.

Step 4: Writing the Hit Song

1. Get a friend to make a catchy and kinda funky beat
2. Design an easy to remember dance
3. Make a repetitive and slightly annoying chorus
4. Add 3 or 4 verses with a lot of echoes and computer editing

Step 5: The Other Songs

As said above, you need other songs for the album so here's how you do it.

1. Make a beat (any)
2. Add pointless lyrics

DONE!

Step 6: Loose Gramatical Correctniss

Lose all the knowledge you learned in your 3 and a half years of school to write your lyrics. Instead of: I am a man with a lot of money. It should be: I be a guy, foo, witta lotta dough, yo.

Step 7: Featuring

Feature in other rappers songs after your first album. It will boost your publicity.

Step 8: Rock Collaboration

After featuring in a rap song. Get with a rock band a collaborate to make a song like "We Made It" by rapper Busta Rhymes and band Linkin Park.

An example of a rock collaboration

Try to make yourself the main person in the song or album. Probably the best thing to do is to rap to rock beats and give their singer a chorus or two. It will keep them happy and give you the dough.

Step 9: Other Album

The same formula as Step 5.

Step 10: Singles

At some point in the middle of your rap career, you must create a single that is very popular. This is the same formula as Step 4.

Step 11: TV

Try to get on MTV Cribs and other shows. If you can, adopt a kid and have a VH1 series about your life as a father. Or instead of you adopting just get your girlfriend pregnant. It would be like, "<insert name here> is <age> and Pregnant". Almost like that Scott Baio show but.. you know... Not Scott Baio...

Step 12: After Rap

The final step is what you do after you stop making rap. You must wear amazing amounts of bling, have hookers, and get high a lot. Also get season tickets to the Los Angeles Lakers and hang out at LA clubs.

Good luck with rap
