Should I join the Navy or pursue my dream as a conscious rapper?
    #23894266 - 12/04/16 03:39 PM (7 years, 1 month ago)

Okay so I'm being tugged in two separate directions..

I absolutely love Hip-Hop, and not to be egotistical but I think I could make it as a lyricist. My newfound friend who I met in our Arabic class has been making beats for, 7 or so years, now? Something like that. Anyways, long story short, he knows what he's doing and I've been rapping for maybe 2 or so years now. We have a strong, spiritual connection and are about to make our first song together, maybe even a music video for it. I definitely consider myself above average at it, and most of all, it's what I love. I'm a writer, a very creative person and I adore the landscape in which I can create something of immense value not only to myself, but to the whole of humanity in which I perceive.

Now, I've also been in the process of joining the Navy. I have to retake my ASVAB in less than a week. I want to travel the world but I'm not so sure whether or not it's the correct route to sail with how the future is unfolding for the US. Also, not so necessarily sure if I can secure a good, high-paying job within the organization either. I know it would toughen me up, make me more of a man per se and get me to experience another side of the universe that's been previously unseen.

I also could be at a university next year which was the original plan. Evidently, I could create music while at it.

Thank you to all those who read, all help (and more notably your perspective on the situation) is greatly, deeply appreciated.

Do both if you have your mind set on either. There is no reason you couldn't drop an album or two while you're in. Then you could gauge your future in music when you actually have a library of music behind you rather than waiting on the maybes of songs that don't exist yet.

You and your buddy producing the beats can work on stuff online easily. Just get yourself a nice laptop, an audio interface, a decent microphone and an acoustic foam box for noise interference and you can record tracks anywhere.

If you want to make music then make music. If you need help to do what you wanna do though then you're not as dedicated as you should be. I'm being serious. It's not a hobby.

If you're young, follow your dream. If you fail at least you'll be able to say you tried something and you won't have to live with the regret of not giving your dreams a shot.

He didn't really break his ankle. He just got booted for sleeping all day.

I'd say go for both..

If u wanted to make a career out of hip hop tho understand that ure gonna have to give it ur all, and that means giving up on anything else u had in mind, like the navy, family, etc.. ure either all in or all out..  U might also have to bum it for a few years..

Def ain't easy man.. but def ain't impossible..

Or you go for this:





The choice is yours.
