Series Summary

Cypress Hill said it best with, "So you wanna be a rap super star, live large, a big house, five cars?" Ok, so they said 'rock' not 'rap' but they are rappers and the point is that you can have all those things in the rap industry but only if you have the songs and talent to back it up. It is definitely not as easy as it looks to write any song including a rap song. There are beats, flows, rhymes, off-rhymes, lyrical content and meaning. All that takes drive, determination, guts and talent. All of which can be improved upon with a lot of practice.
