We will see, maybe this can stay on topic in a more appropiate manner like in

1) Does having a pro athlete body its enough to become a pro athlete in a specific sport, i men to play bkb u have to have a bkb body, same for american football  and boxing for example.

2) how much , fundamentals count in that.

3) can u do it without the body?

4) Can u do it., even if youre old.

5) What is consider old

6) Is Edgar ever going to be the next tiger woods.
   I have great distance and a little hook for example.

I actually know a lot of people who think they could be pro golfers if they played every day... not sure if they're right...

To me it is the same thing with movies or music.   I also believe I am a great rapper.   Here is my example.    I've known my friend who hangs out with Redman and works with him on projects, for 9 years.   For 9 years he has known me, he has heard me freestyle and he thinks I am pretty good.  I've called him maybe 5-10 times over the past 9 years to try and get together, maybe get in a recording studio, you know record some tracks, spit some bars etc.   Who knows maybe even get to work with Redman.  

You know what has happened? Absolutetly nothing.  He never took me to a recording studio, he never rapped with me, we never worked on equipment, beat machines, 48 track slides etc. together.    Never in 9 years.  Not once.   And he is the only person I know who has any hip hop connections.  And you want me to go somewhere else, and talk to people I don't know and try even harder to be a part of hip hop?  Ha!  I don't want to!! Because I don't get down like that.  If they don't want to be a part of me, I don't want to try and fit it with them.    That is how it works with me.   Did I ever get in the recording studio, did I ever spit 100 bars and make beats and record an ablum.  Never, not once.  So who is anyone to tell me I am not a great rapper.

It is a similiar thing with sports.  If the coach doesn't pick me to play, why am I going to keep trying?  I don't want to.  Because I don't get down like that.  Doesn't mean I'm not a great player.  And if I don't get to put on the uniform and play in a real game, no one can tell me I'm not a great player.   Because I do not kiss $$$.

And you forgot #7

7.  How much of a person being a pro athlete actually has to do with talent?

I was in a rap group, we were called the Salami Army and we only wrapped about lunch meat...every track we did was a cold cut...

not really, but that would have been so cool

If the coach doesn't put you in the game to play, you can't play.   If nobody wants to work with you in a recording studio, you can't record an album. 

Has nothing to do with talent.

See, I think you're just baiting now. 

Anyway, as others have said, this thread is going nowhere.  The thread has basically devolved into a continual repeat of: "I'm super good."  "I doubt it."  "No, really, I am."  That's not really a productive conversation, especially as people have bordered on personal insults several times now.
