How to Become an Expert Hip Hop Beat Producer

By Abdal Girmani

there's no expert technical "trickery" involved in becoming a great hiphop beat producer. All you need is talent[**] and the doggedness to try hard, and a deep underlying passion for the music. If you have all of these 3 qualities, there's actually nothing that will stop you from joining the ranks of Kanye or Dr. Dre as a great hip hop producer.

When you start off on your beat making journey, you could get a little overpowered with all the options that you have at your disposal. You can literally do anything with your beats, imparting any flavour or twist you might want to ( that's why it's a creative and rewarding field ).

Of course, that isn't the way to actually go about becoming great at beat making ; a way better route would be to choose one style - say East Coast beats - and sticking with it until you learn all the tricks of the trade.

One clear consideration for any aspiring beat maker is equipment. Too many wanna-be beat producers never let their dream materialize due to some deep belief you need the best equipment and the most costly software with the craziest set up to make great beats. This is, of course, false. You can kick off with a little less than a hundred bucks and make beats that sound more than professional, provided you know what equipment to get.

The cheapest, and the easiest option is to purchase a beat making software. This software have been designed specifically to help you make beats and come with a huge library of pre-created beats and loops that you can change and tweak to communicate them your own flavor. Being in 2009 has its benefits ; all those vet beat makers you see on the telly didn't have access to technology like this, otherwise their journey would have been a lot smoother.

The trick is to stay focused and dedicated. You might start off with plenty of energy when you want to learn the art of beat making, but fizzle out after a bit. Keep practicing, keep making beats with your beat production software, and before you know it, you will be playing with the big dogs in the big leagues!
