edit: almost forgot no im not a rapper
Yes well here's the thing. You haven't been making hip hop for 3 years. You've been making beats for 3 years. And while it has been very good practice, beats are a dime-a-dozen. I'm a firm believer that you won't ever get noticed just for making beats. Still, you answered your own question; no one knows your name because you haven't made anything special in the past 3 years and you haven't shared anything or marketed yourself in that time.
So now you want to do chipmusic because you feel like it will get you more exposure. Well, ha ha. That's silly. I won't argue with your choice though. What I will tell you is this:
In order to really make it as an artist, and I mean, not everyone knows you because you troll some online message board, but, everyone knows you because they really like your music, you need to have a handful of really amazing tracks, rather than hundreds of mediocre ones. There are lots of mediocre songs out there. Thousands. Tens of thousands. Can you name any off the top of your head? Neither can I. So sure, you can make a bunch of crappy songs and share them on 8bc or chipmusic.org, but you will probably just be wasting your time. What you need to do is make a handful (3 or 4, really) that are AMAZING. And if it takes you a whole year to make those 3 or 4 songs, well, it will be much more rewarding than making 400 mediocre songs in that same amount of time. And when it comes to chip music, or any type of electronic music, you have your work cut out for you... it has to be interesting, creative, daring, and unique. Think about that. And good luck to you. There are a lot of people in the same boat. Just remember that good music markets itself. Period.
