By Delroy Wilkins


If you are a hip hop artist trying to create beats and instrumentals for sale, knowing that you have chosen the right beat can be a difficult process. Some artists can easily choose a beat and instrumentals to use alongside their lyrics. You might find it difficult doing this and asking why this is so. First, you need to know that everyone cannot have the same gift and not every rapper can identify the best beats for a song. Some of the great hip hop artists skilled in beat and instrumental selection have had to train hard for years before being able to easily identify the right beats.

A common method used by some rappers to select beats and instrumentals involves listening to beat samples before choosing one and then writing lyrics to match the beats. Its usually quite easy writing lyrics to a hip hop song after listening to the beats first. The beats act as a guide to the flow of the song. With this method, inspiration for you lyrics will be largely based on listening to the beats and instrumentals.

There's another beat and instrumentals selection method preferred by most rappers. This method involves writing the hip hop song lyrics without first listening to a beat. Once the song is complete, all the artist needs to do is search for beats and instrumentals that best match the lyrics. Most hip hop artists find this method advantageous as it allows them to concentrate on their lyrics and determining the flow of their song. This is as opposed to writing lyrics that concentrate more on the beats.

Selecting the right beats and instrumentals for your songs plays a huge part in getting a following as well as creating great hits. You can select from hundreds of sample beats and instrumentals provided by major websites. A majority of these sites provide free samples and some even allow users to edit the beats. The editing feature will enable you to create unique content through mixing up a couple of beats.

After you've collected a considerable amount of samples, you can have fun editing them and making your own music. Do not be afraid of trying out other genres such as RnB, jazz, rock, pop etc. You would be surprised at the amazing sounds you can create. You can then set up a website and sell your new sounds from there. Make sure you make use of internet marketing skills to ensure that you are really getting your content out there.
