How to Be a True Hip Hop Artist

Here are a few concepts, or in other words, the main way on how to be a true hip-hop artist. Steps Have your own style. Be unique. Here's some styles that you can merge into your own. Southside (It consists of rapping fast and sharp. The beats are juicy and unique). Eastcoast (It consists of rapping strong and powerful. The beats consist of samples, scratches and ambiance). Westcoast ( It consists of rapping loud and slow, the beats are heavy bassed, instrumental based and have lots of bass drops) Midwest ( It consists of rapping gentle and tender, the beats have jazz samples, synthesizers). Think of rapping as boxing and you are a boxer, each style is a different fighting technique; use your style to take down the opponent. Your music is the fight, each line is a Jab, the hook is the hook, the chorus is the fury and the Outro is the KO. Write your own lyrics. Don't take other people's lyrics or styles. Tips Think the unthinkable, make your...

How to Make Pro Hip Hop/Rap Beats

Hey, I've been making music for a little while now and I've been able to generate a steady income from it. But when I began I had no idea where to start. I searched and search through pages and pages of Google to find some help but I couldn't find anything but advertisements. So now I've decided to help someone else out and write a in-depth how to on making beats. Steps Find drums that already have bump to them. Find a kick that has punch and one that has thump and layer them, then if your making southern music put a grimey 808 under that. Rap/Hip Hop music is all about 2 things: bump and feel. Change up your patterns until you are completely satisfied. Try moving to it, try to imagine what it would feel like if you were in a club. As you start to add your instruments, keep going back and playing with your drums. Change up the hi hat pattern or even the sound, add some 808 snares, make sure your transitions are flawless. Music is an art form, it cr...

What's the difference between Lease and Exclusive?

Leasing Rights: Leasing rights give the music artist a certain amount of uses per lease. Once it runs out, the customer would need to buy another lease for the same beat. You can give out as many units as you can, it's really all up to you. Another thing about leasing is that the producer can sell the beat to multiple artists, as long as nobody buys the exclusive rights to it. This can be very good for the producer because he won't have to take the beat off sale and make more money off of it. It is a cheaper price for the artist, because this is meant for mixtapes and promos. Usually, you wouldn't want to lease a beat for albums; it would make much more sense to buy the exclusive rights because you don't want to hear another rapper have your beat in their album, too. The producer usually would give out an MP3 version of it, with a lesser quality sound than the exclusive. This is because they don't want to give out the best quality sound, unless it ...

How to Write Lyrics to a Rap or Hip Hop Song

Are you an aspiring rapper looking to make a smash hit? Are you ready to surpass the footsteps of Tupac Shakur, Nas, Well then, you're in the right spot. Steps The first thing you want to do is prepare your mind to deliver your lyrics title for your song. The subject may be something that has recently happened, something that has happened in the past, something your thinking about. It may be a dance type of a song, a song where you talk about yourself, or it may even be something that has happened in a dream. You of course want the Title to match the subject of your song(sometimes that may not work). If you can't think of one, write the rap out first, then choose an appropriate title. After you have done that you might want to think up a Hook/Chorus for your song. It can range from something very deep to something that's just catchy. After that you will want to find the beat for your song and make sure the hook goes with the beat and is put in the right...

How to Become a Hip Hop Music Producer

Rapping is very lucrative business, but hip hop producers work behind the scenes, creating instrumental tracks for a record company, or just for fun. There are many types of producers, but they all follow the same basic steps. Steps Love hip hop. The industry is tough and ruthless, and without a deep love for the game you will never be good or famous. Learn about music. This is a never-ending process, so don't ever think you're "done" at any point. Learn about all different styles of music, not just modern hip hop. Learn the roots, the theory and the great musicians for many different genres. No style should be neglected, not even country. Determine what equipment you will need. This is a very complicated step, as there are infinite combinations of hardware and software. I would recommend FL Studio's demo version of their production software, if you wish to try production out with paying any money. If you're sampling, be sure to think of how ...
