If you really want to stand out from the crowd and create music that is different from the rest, then you have to consider creating hip hop beats on your own! The way to do this is by using a hip hop beat maker. There are programs that can run several thousand dollars but I recommend starting with an inexpensive one until you get the hang of creating hip hop beats and deciding if you like it. In order to find a hip hop beat maker the process is similar to the way that we found a company to buy hip hop beats. So again pull up your browser with Google.
