Is 18 too late to start making beats and rapping?
My stats so far: I have only been rapping and making beats for a about a month. I have always been talented with things such as poetry and literature (I am dyslexic tho). I have about 70 books listed as read from the last two years. The vast majority of them are classics. My reading in literature will I think help me craft meaningful lyrics. I am also objectively good with all things verbal (99.9th percentile verbal reasoning).
At this age,do I have the capacity to become great at making beats or rapping (I mostly want to rap).I am not retarded so I don't care about using music as a means to reach financial stability , my aim is instead to rap as well as ,or better than, rappers such as MF DOOM,Nas, Eyedea, slug, Jay Z, Earl, Eminem ,Lupe,Kendrick,ect.
Are you white or black ?

Your fucking retarded
Freddie Gibbs didn't start until he was 20 and he is the GOAT of this generation. It's never tpo late to start making music.

Why is UP the only Joy Division album I see discussed when Closer is objectively better?
Explain why you feel this way

I'm a contrarian
>>72374115
Because Unknown Pleasures is really influential and made a bigger impact than Closer did. While I don't think they're better than each other, I like them both for different reasons because they are two different albums with two different styles.

what's up with the autists on rym that have like 40-50% 0.5/5 ratings and only give the most avant-garde music 5/5s?
there are mostly in EU, have over 8k ratings often, sometimes rate more than 8 albums day for consecutive days (lol) and, and despite having listened to so much shit, literally the same 5s are given to like the same 10 albums between them all
and the 5s are mostly given to some random ass bach music, who just so happens to be one of the most trite and straight-forward classical composers
ironically, trying to be weird and unique ended up having up a multitude of contrarian pseudointellecuals on rym
here's a vague list of autists compiled by another rym user

Why do you care? This affects you in no way whatsoever, plus their accounts are unweighted so it won't affect your precious charts. Looks like you're the autist here.

Eastern european teenagers are into alot of avant garde music
>>72373532
I've always assumed it's either a system where they reserve the top spots for their favourites of all time (5 for their top, 4.5 for their runner-ups, etc.) or where they assign a certain percentage of their ratings to each rating. It's a really weird system either way though, and anyone who does it must be a turbo-autist.
What is up with these wack rappers? I honestly have no idea how these ignant, skinny, mumbling skinny jean wearing dyke coons can produce music that is even in the same league as Nas, 2pac, Biggie, Big L, Mos Def, Mobb Deep and Wu Tang.
Is real hip hop dead? What happened to message? What happened to skill on the mic? When can we get more Kendricks and less Kodaks?
>lil dicky
lmao the only one who has done anything close to technically interesting is Denzel Curry. Lil Uzi Vert is an extremely bad rapper but his subject matter is alright. Lil Yachty is alright I guess.
>G-Eazy
Uzi and Boat are the only mumble rappers I can tolerate because they're actually unique and likable.
Denzel Curry is genuinely talented
