A rap song can be pretty boring without the right beat. The beat is in my opinion the element of the song that takes the rap to the next level and makes it stand out in the crowd. Even 2pac and Biggie would have a hard time if their beats were not up to par.

The two most important elements of a rap beat are its depth and its originality. By depth I mean how it makes you feel when you hear it. Every rap song has a message, and the beat needs to bring that message home.

It is also important that the beat stand out in the crowd. This is where originality comes in. In the first seconds of your beat you have to make it unique so the person who listens to it recognizes the song and are ready to join in on it.

A rap beat typically consists of a loop. A loop is a set of bars repeating over and over. So how to you make a great loop?

Begin with your hi hats. The hi hats sets the basics for your rap beat and let you decide the speed of your beat. There is nothing complex with you hi hats so make it simple. You can add more hi hats later if needed.

Second step is to add the kicks and the snares. The kicks are what most people will consider the baseline. These are the deep elements of the base. The snares are the mid and high tones and are usually lighter than the kicks.

After you have configured the speed and your base line you have your skeleton ready. Next thing is to add your instrumentals and vocals.

It is the combinations all these elements that build the feeling and originality in your rap beat.

There is no need to overdo your rap beats

Many newbies does the mistake of working too much on their rap beats. They add layer upon layer of instrumentals and work the beat line to much.

Keep the beat as simple as possible. It is not how many sounds you have that counts. It is how much the rap beats can bring emotions upon the listener. Spend some time listening to the beats of your favorite producer and you will probably notice that their beats are not very complex. They are simply unique.

Also keep in mind that you are not the Star of your rap beat. This is the rappers job. Your job is to make the rapper have an easy day at work and help him or her bring out the creativity inside.

Jazz music combined with spoken rhyme is distinctive as jazz rap style, which became popular in the late 1980's- early 1990's. In Bell's first track, "Nothing Lasts FOURever", a fusion of plucked string, light drum, brass and rap seamlessly merge into this inimitable style. Just released this year, "FOURever" is a stand out recording. His words speak to the title; no matter what they have been through together he is ready to move on, commemorated by the song. The lyrics are extremely clever to describe an age old concept, "the time has come to realize its only fumes that we're running on. The brass in this song punctuates the jazz feel and as he ends it on nothing more than his own voice the listener can relate to his emotional expression.

"Electric Sheep" puts string instruments into a blender with electronically generated beats and whips up a smoothie of a song that conjures up visuals of busily flying bees due to its almost hectic pace. The rhythm on this song is perfectly timed, causing just a slip of frantic panic to bubble up inside the listener. The very moment that fright seems too much to bear, Bell tosses in a recording of an operator instructing us to "please hang up and try again", which adds a level of much needed humor bringing a smile and lowering the heart rate.

Throughout the five available songs on his MySpace page, Bell displays his penchant for various musical styles and utilizes an array of instruments to create his sound. Bell's own voice is a powerful instrument used on four of his five songs and he takes care not to drown it out with music; smooth but simultaneously vulnerable he is clear and easy to listen to. On "Red" his voice is recorded in an almost hauntingly hollow sound as a perfect compliment to the reflectively dark lyrics.

With over 130,000 views to his page and a combined total of just under 36,000 total plays of his tracks, Frank Bell is carving out a strong presence for himself in the online world; his humorous song "The Penguin" has had over 11,000 plays alone. Three of his 5 songs are available for download ("The Penguin", "Tread Soft" & "Electric Sheep") on his MySpace page http://www.myspace.com/frankbell. When visiting his page be sure to read the comment section for a recent clipping regarding a forthcoming album.

Hip-hop was initiated as a cultural movement by inner-city youth, mostly Latinos, Hispanics, and African Americans in New York City, in the early seventies. The word "rap" was derived in the sixties, from a slang word that meant conversation.

Hip-hop has two main historical eras, the old school hip-hop era from 1970-1985 and the golden age hip-hop era from 1985-1993. The golden age of hip-hop began only when it entered the mainstream of music and it consolidated the sounds of the West Coast and the East Coast.

The origin of hip-hop music is from African American and West African music. Contributions of griots like The Last Poets, Jalal Mansur Nurriddin, and Gil Scott-Heron were significant in a big way for the advent of hip-hop in the 1960s. Hip-hop had originally begun in the Bronx. Funk and soul music were played a lot in block parties. In the beginning, the DJs at these parties began separating the percussion breaks from hit songs. They started realizing that these breaks were more entertaining and groovy. This technique had become widespread in Jamaica and had spread considerably in the New York community via the Jamaican immigrants.

Kool DJ Herc and Grandmaster Flash were the pioneers in the hip-hop industry and other DJs had extended the short percussion interludes of funk records and created a more danceable sound. As a result, remixes had become popular with the advent of mixing and scratching techniques. Many styles of hip-hop had developed in the golden age of hip-hop.

At present, hip-hop is enjoyed all around the world. In spite, of all the controversies created by hip-hop artists they are still growing in number. Hip-hop music is sold all over the world in stores and even online.

The whole notion of making music always scared me. I always thought you had to be born with a gift, and I was born with none. When I was young the triangle was the only instrument I wanted to play in music class, and I still had trouble staying on beat.

I grew up in the 80's so my musical tastes vary. I grew up listening to all kinds of music from Michael Jackson, to Madonna to Guns and Roses. I am also a fan of hip hop listening to artists like Run DMC, LL Cool J, and Rakim. These are the artists that wet my appetite for music.

As the time past my musical tastes have evolved to what they are today. A variety of different artists from Green Day, to Soulja Boy as well as a lot of independent artists. My friends and I usually attend an open mic down the street from my apartment every week. We love to check out the new up and coming artists and poets who come by every week. None of us are musicians just music lovers.

At the end of the night just as the MC was closing up the show my friend gets up and takes the stage. To all of our surprise he performed a song that was so powerful, touching, and moving it left us all in awe. I asked him where did he find a song like that to cover because I never heard it before? I wanted to download it immediately when I got home. We were all blown away when he told us he made it himself.

My friend gave me the name of the software that he used to make the beat and I was really skeptical. I never buy anything online. There are too many scams and people making false promises about their products. However I couldn't get the song out of my head, and I had so many emotions inside me that I wanted to let go of. I decided to give it a try.

I was floored by how easy it was and required no extra equipment. The interface was extremely user friendly so it wasn't hard to learn. At one point I got a little stuck and couldn't figure out what to do next. I just looked at a tutorial they provided and it walked me through the process. I finished my first beat in an hour, then I used the software to export it to Mp3.

After that I sat in my room and wrote the lyrics out. Exactly one month after my friend performed his song I performed mine for the first time. It was about the first girl that I have ever loved and how she exited my life. There wasn't a dry eye in the house, and I felt so accomplished.

The whole purpose of my story is to let you know you can do it too. I'm not a musician but I make songs and I make beats online from my heart. If I can do it, why can't you? Never limit what you can do in life. If there is a will there is a way.

Technology has paved way to a lot of thing that we cannot do on our own. If you cannot create the beat yourself, it would be beneficial on your part to make use of the options available online and make use of it to your advantage. Getting access to software that will allow you to make your own rap beats is not that difficult.
