| I found a great trick that works well to crank out rap | | | | really go all out and come up with alot of layers. Sure |
| beats. Make your own beats fast and easy with a | | | | the beat is simple, but It's slow and has very fast 16th |
| trick that will enable any producer to produce bangers | | | | notes on the hi hat. I put a charm on top, illustrating the |
| on call. | | | | minor key it's in, then I go all out with the low synth that |
| I rotate four different styles every time I make one. | | | | sounds like death. This is where things get really |
| For example, the first beat I make will be a club | | | | intense, because i know i can start the beat out at the |
| banger. I start the club bangers with the drums. A | | | | beginning with the drum beat and the charm, but then |
| simple snare to bass pattern, then I switch to a high | | | | after 4 bars I drop that low death synth and the fast hi |
| pitched xylophone for the melody. I'm done, instant club | | | | hat comes in with the synth as well. |
| banger, and it's no joke. | | | | Everyone has their own way of doing it, but I love |
| The next one I crank out is a west coast beat. it has a | | | | performing in succession like that. One style to the |
| straight forward 2 kick drum pattern and then I do a | | | | next. I guess its great because it keeps me inspired |
| synth bass that goes along with the kick drums. Next, | | | | and I don't "get tired" of any one style, they never |
| after Im done with the synth bass, I add a sine lead as | | | | grow old, and I keep it going. |
| a little melody. After that? All that is left are a few | | | | I use SP alot to do my beats. I guess because they |
| piano chords. Instant Crenshaw mafia worthy. Next, an | | | | give you all you need and when everything is said |
| East coast beat. East coast beats are much more | | | | & done, it sounds like you have 50 keyboards or |
| repetitive, generally speaking, maybe it has to do with | | | | something. In this day & age I keep thinking that |
| the fact that they have the heavy sample elements, | | | | real hardware might die out, and I guess the only |
| like when Dj Premier uses the MPC1000 or when | | | | reason why anyone would want to stick with one |
| RZA takes a straight forward rock beat and adds a | | | | machine is because they want to utilize their piano |
| crazy woman screaming on top of it. I can either do | | | | skills. I actually have alot of skills on piano after studying |
| the sample first, and then the drums, or vice versa. | | | | at Manhattan school of music as a youth, but I still go |
| Whatever I do, I make sure that its going to be banging, | | | | with SP because I'm in the studio, I'm not behind a |
| tight, and makes sense melodically. | | | | Bosendorfer playing Chopin. |
| My last beat is a dirty south beat, and this is where I | | | | |
