what does a rapper need when starting out

what does a rapper need when starting out? do they need a mic and other equipment? do rappers need a studio? or do they just need a pen and paper? a rapper can rap to someone without any of the equipment. its about what a rapper needing or just wanting to rap. it could be a different question like how to record that confuses all of this. if you know how to record with a mic and have one this might be rap for you. for someone else it might be freestyling to a crowd without a mic. so when did studios become so important and whos pushing the need for one. and when will we see the next big way to share music? youtube was big and so were a few other things. but we need to know things to figure out if we would even try it. And rap was about doing it because you knew what you were doing? music only got better then. This is what we would have to see for it to be true. rap is about making something in the art that can survive its own environment? then rap cant die from itself. but next time you see something you dont like dont put down the whole thing because someone might be enjoying it. these are just my thoughts and i have tutorials on the website if you need to build a home studio or get equipment or anything.
