hip hop beat maker
Have you ever given any consideration as to why you want to be a hip hop beat maker ?
A couple months into creating my own tunes, i asked myself this very question. It’s all about living the dream, right ? The money, the women, the attention and the fame. These things in themselves are not bad things but at the core you must have a passion for wanting to make beats. You’ve gotta have heart. I’ve got heart and that’s why i continue on. I want you to pose the same question to yourself though.
The money ? Hip hop beats sell for big money and the beat makers that produce them can charge what they like once they make a name for themselves. You start out wanting to produce for some of your favorite hip hop artists. News travels fast on the Internet and next thing you know, the people you idolize are calling YOU up to collaborate with you.
The women ? Women are great and they love hip hop beat makers. They don’t care about the hours you put in creating the beats as long as the end product gets you attention and money. If you make it big, you will be inundated with tons of girls. It could be a good thing and it could be a bad thing. Don’t lose your head here.
The attention ? Everyone is going to want to be your friend. People you forgot you a long time ago start coming out of the woodwork wanting a bit of you. Some may have thought your dreams of being a hip hop beat maker were stupid but now they want to be best friends. You’ll make new friends for life and lose some who will resent you for the success you’ve made of yourself.
The fame ? As long as you continue to produce award winning beats you’ll be in hot demand for them.
Some of this might seem like fantasy but for some people it is not. Ask Soulja Boy about this. Prime example of it happening not for the reasons above but because it all started with a passion for online beat making. This all reminds me of (Rock) Superstar by Cypress Hill. Just remember whatever the reason you’re looking to be a hip hop beat maker, it all must start with a passion to create your own style of hip hop.
