Prod_by_Demko_-_Freebeat-2.mp3 How to produce Hot rap beatsWhen you look on Timbaland, Kanye West or Dr.Dre, you probably think: „how can they produce such fresh beats all the time?“. And it's true, every beat they make has the potential to become a hit. Well, it's really not that hard to make it happen. Everyone can do this with a certain amount of experience. See, the thing is, everyone of these guys has his own style and working structures. It didn't come over night, of course. This is a result of hard work and experience. Not to forget the passion they have when it comes to making music. The truth is, there are many good producers out there who are as talented as the big guys in the business, but the difference is that the famous producers have built a reputation for themselves. So if Timbaland, for example, makes a song, it's guaranteed the song will be played on the radio or television because everyone knows what hits he had and the new song might be as hot as the one he produced before.Everything really comes down to having your own style, Dr.Dre for example, is known for his westcoast piano sound, you probably heard the song „Still D.R.E.“ he made with Snoop Dogg in 2001. Now he's the first one people think about when they hear „westcoast rap“. Timbaland is famous for his busy drums and percussions, Kanye is known for his busy drums and sampled sounds. The chilly percussion sounds and RnB-like melodies made Pharrell big. Author: James Z. Robinson The Story Behind Hiphop Drum Beat Nowadays hip hop is more than just drum beats, producers also use baselines and melodies in order to make beats. But it all started with the drums, for which hip hop music is known the most. Disc jockeys used to sample and isolate drums from music tracks, mostly from soul and funk music, to make their own, new sound. This was popular in the 80's, when people gathered together on block parties and used to dance on these new drum beats. Later on, the Djs started to scratch, put instrument sounds and vocals on their beats. The result was a new music genre named hip hop.The hip hop music went through a lot of changes, but the drums are still the heart of this genre. Even big producers still work with drum machines and MPCs, like Kanye West for example. And the result is very good! It's really amazing how something that simple can become and stay so popular and move so many people all around the globe! Now, rap artists come from everywhere, Germany, Russia or Japan... Some people say hip hop is dead, or is going to die out soon. But I don't think this is true. It has become an integral part of the music industry and it will be that way. Every year new hip hop artists come on the scene, and they are as successful as the artists in every other genre. If you are fascinated about music, like me, and especially about hip hop, you want to be part of this movement! Either you are a rapper, singer, producer or you want to do it all yourself, there's no better time to start making your own music than now! If you are rapping or singing, you need to practice, so you have your own style, and that's the most important part. Start with freestyling over different instrumental beats, and then, when you're ready to make your own song, look for beat selling pages, let's take „beats4tracks.com“ as an example, here you can listen to samples and buy the instrumentals for an accordingly low price. If you want to produce your own beats, you should look for a good and easy to use beat making software, DUBturbo or Fruity Loops for example.
