If you can make more money from an education than music, get an education. If you can get more from music, do music. The money is the only thing that matters.
Now days labels don't groom the artist then don't help him with how to dress,or how sing better and have better songwriting skills, or create a buzzPeople out here unemployed. If a 360 deal pays at least $40,000 a year, take it. Most people in the rap game are high school dropouts. They should feel blessed to earn $40,000 a year and have sex with groupies.
People need to stop acting like they are going to earn millions of dollars from music. A six-figure salary from making money is a blessing from God. Take it and keep quiet.
Many people with PhDs, JDs, and MDs are barely earning six figures a year. Stop listening to these naysayers and do what you have to do to support your family.

What kind of bullsh*t jobs do you work?
I know that many jobs are not fun, but you make it seem worse than it really is. You make it seem like you either work for money or work for fun. If you have an education and a skill set, you can work for money and fun.
Music is not all that it seems cracked up to be. Most musicians work hard at music and do not really get enjoyment from it. People get more fun from posting on Futureproducers than they get out of making music. Why do you think there are so many guys asking "How do I get started?" or "How do I get motivated to make music?" or "What do I need to learn about the business side of music?". People waste a lot of time with music when they really could have more fun and make more money doing something else.
People sell themselves short.
but this is the real world ...and you need real money which is tool to get food,housing,and clothes.
not here to kill dreams... I still have a dream of 90% of my retirement money coming from things dealing with music but I'm going to keep my GOOD job and my GOOD benefits and take care of my FAMILY.
Oh and now I need to buy my kids a pool..it never stops lol.....
Real Talk!
There it is.

i'm lucky, because music is literally my most fun hobby, my beats aren't too good yet because i started beatmaking about a year ago and i mostly focused on rapping, for 3 years now i been practicing at least an hour everyday, my flow is sick and bars are dope, really, i been putting too much into this to fail at it, its a big passion, while others go to the beach i write, while others get drunk i write, while others sleep i write, literally, i been pulling all nighters to perfect my craft and capture those magical moments of inspiration and being in the zone, i can switch it on and off by now, i'm only 16 man, i'm not putting myself out there much as of now, i'm still in the forge creating the persona and the skill set i wanna put out there, ill move to the u.s. soon as i'm 18, you gotta go to the hot spot, over here ain't mo market for this, or at least not for what i do, but ill do everything that's necesary, i'm gon make it or die trying
i'm from a non english speaking country, so as soon as i realized that the english market is the shit, i dedicated myself to learn english, meaning i watch movies in english, go to english forums, watch tv in english, nothing but english music, so now i'm decent at it, forgive me some typos or misconstructions within phrases but i'm still learning
