Production Make Beats For The Listener
I'm guilty of making my beats too busy but am trying to reign it in. I think it's a real skill to visualise how the end user will react to it and what they will think and what they need. Not just in Hip Hop, it applies to sales at work. Are you giving the end customer what they need, or what you...- Face Valid

Sellin beats/mixes on LUM.FM?
@Armani Beatstars basic is worth a go. Their contract templates are good. However the platform is oversaturated and heavily biased in favour of trap and flavour of the month stuff. I agree with OGBama that something has to give. I think supply has outstripped demand and it's a race to the...- Face Valid

The sampling lie?
Yeah that opening track blew me away, so many switch ups and it's effortless. Love it when the horns come in. But yeah Atomic Dog gives it that funky groove.- Face Valid

Production I Make Beats and so Should You
Interesting musings. So you're basically saying I need to get my Storch on and blast a boatload of cocaine. Sweet. But yeah I don't set out to make a very defined beat each time but unconsciously my traits seep into it. I usually recognise your style Iron Keys but that last Beat This comp...- Face Valid

The sampling lie?
I remember listening to 2Pac California Love when I was younger thinking Dre composed such an amazing track! Obviously later on learnt about his use of interpolation. Still great work as a producer though. Also remember buying CDs like Ice Cube's AmeriKKKas Most Wanted and seeing loads of credit...- Face Valid

Learn to create R&B sounding chords
I used to do the same when I made R&B a long time ago. Because I only know basic music theory I would conceptualise the harmony inmy head, and then try and voice it out. I used to love the chords you get in 90's swing, like Teddy Riley, or a classic Neptunes middle eight progression. Also the...- Face Valid

Production I Make Beats and so Should You
Good article. I make music for the enjoyment, but I put the good ones onto Beatstars just in case someone wants to give me money, which is fine, but it pushes you to pigeonhole it into a genre and link it to a related artist. I hate doing it and have decided not to this year. Also I completely...- Face Valid
