Actually all social networks like Twitter / Tumblr / Facebook are useful for expanding and building your fan network.

Maybe a brother or a friend. Ask for their opinion and how you could improve.

Advice
- If you are very young, tell your friends and family that you would like to pursue a career as a rapper. Their support will give you the right boost.
- Don't be fake. Make sure your rhymes are dictated by the heart, never intentionally steal the rhythms of an existing song. Even the remixes should be new and original.
- Don't let misogynistic rap music make you disheartened. Just because a lot of rap music disrespects women doesn't mean they shouldn't be rapping. Hell, you might as well protest misogynistic lyrics.
- Try to do your best! There will be enemies who will bring you down because you are a woman, because they are jealous or for many other reasons. But let it all slip on, because no matter what you do, someone will always denigrate you!
- Don't hate your enemies. It would only prove that they won it.
- Register on Youtube, the internet is a very useful way to start your rapping career.
- If you need beats for your songs you can go to Youtube and search for instrumental versions of hip hop.
Warnings
- Ignore people who tell you "You can't do this!" Try to stay away from people who take a negative attitude, as you need positive stimuli to pursue a career like this.
- If you follow your style you will go further. Do things your way and stay in control.
- Don't be fake and don't put on airs. It's not nice.
- Don't complain if it's not worth it. Time spent complaining could be used in other ways, such as focusing on your career.
