Soulful beats
U can def make soulful beats w/o sampling....What I try to do is when it comes to souland not mainstream....is use piano....this is the 1 instrument when it somes to soulful music that u can go wrong with....
sampling or not
I think sampling is good as long as ur'e skilled enuff to play keys.....Beatmaking isn't easy....While I do think sampling is an art form in itself.....Sometimes I wonder if those same producers would be hot if they played keys....on joints
Basslines
A solid bassline is almost the one mosy important thing a good joint shoud have....the bass is normally what moves.....Try to play ur'e bass lines in a way that would make u bounce ur'e head even if its the only thing ur'e listening to...
dFinishing beats
Everytime u start abeat u should definitely c it thru.....If its taking to long to make fallback....and come @ it later....But yes If I start a beat and even if I scrap it 10 times I always finish iy...
