Are Emcees Insecure?
Jump to Comments
This morning I was reading some newspaper thing about hip hop and emcees, and the basic idea of the story was saying that emcees are typically insecure. Obviously not all are, but emcees are generally likely to be insecure people. They're trying to prove something. I'm sure this statement wasn't very scientific, but it did get me thinking. I'm not sure if it's right - you'd think that shy people wouldn't get up on the mic, wouldn't you?
And are producers more insecure than emcees? Who can take criticism better on average? Come on, real talk, who hasn't doped someone because they were pissed cos that person didn't dope them? Or jumped on someone too hard because they disrespected you? I know I have. (sorry about that mikeskills).
Let me know what you think, unless y'all too nervous.

I think some emcees, are insecure, or they dont have the proper gear they need, (thus some beefage in the forums is good ,when the shadow behind it is constructive.)I started with using a usb rockband mic for my first couple tracks a couple years ago, an Even I got irritated with all the sound editing an the lack of mic presence. So what did I do, UPGRADED MY GEAR TO MAKE SOME BETTER MIXES,plus BOUGHT A CONDENSOR MIC, WAY BETTER OUTCOME!I GUESS IT ALL DEPENDS ON IF YOU HAVE THE TALENT , or IF YOU DONT….takes time to progress, but if your not making investments into something you love, then you must not reaslly dig it that much,… ~murdermetz……SECURE LIKE A SWISS ACCOUNT…..

I am a music/lyric producer of mainly metal, dance/trance, etc. Years ago I started writing rap mains & hooks musically & lyrically. I grew up in New York City and experienced battle rap on the streets with GM Flash, Creole, etc. with no mics or amps – all that when I was like 8 or 9. I watched and felt its evolution through the 80’s – 90’s – & the Millenium. I know much cannot be done about racism that’s burned in alot of people but I know I have been slighted on DT because I’m white. It’s not the whole community. I only write lyrics for rap because I have the ability. One thing I don’t have…. the Blessed Tone that blacks have that you can’t pull out of a rack effect or pitch correction/harmonizer. Every artist and every song/sound, nuance is different from every angle. For those that have the gift…. I am a supporter to you even if I ghost my presence. I only wish DT had about 10 brothers that went around and made sure that every producer or rapper had someone spit on their sh*t regardless of ability. Just for the simple fact that a person tries to express themselves and all they hear is crickets. I know of this happening alot. Know what I’m saying? It’s a real moral boost for someone to hear a stranger rip their track up or get some constructive criticism. If they’re bad/weak/wacked then this advice might help them get stronger. Everyone deserves to grow and places like DT might be someones last outlet to say something. I love this site because it’s got the most viscious, *ss kicking talent I’ve ever heard in one spot. Top Dogs! Alot of variations/applications. Do your part to help tighten the community. If everyone extends themselves to ONE person a week then I guarantee everyone will see results. How long does it take to spit on three or four tracks? You’ll probably gain a loyal fan at that. It’s better to do that then to bombard peoples emails saying, “Check this track.” It’s called PR. Public Relations. Thanks for your time if you’re reading this…now go do your part cause it’s not just about you. That’s being real.

I feel there is a little much of the sheep following the shepherd.
The sheep want to look cool while they do it and act like they are not following the herd and that has been the game since grade school.
It becomes second nature to them to fall in line, so they don’t stick out for derision.
Though they will still give an impression of being unique.
It is like, the contest, with the theme of ‘my microphone’, it kicks in and they think conditionally, ‘what is the teacher looking for, what do the judges want?’
So they actually sing about their microphone, in a way they feel will be accepted.
