Let's lay down the scenario here. You are, in your mind, just as good as these rappers that are playing on the radio when it comes to lyrics. The only problem is that you don't have any hip hop beats to go with your crazy good lyrics! This is a big problem because it stands between you and the success you hope to one day achieve. Well I have some really good news for you. You can get all the hip hop beats you need without breaking the bank! All you have to do is know where to look and what to look for. So here we go, let's get you one step closer to stardom.

There are many places to find hip hop beats but not all of them are going to have the quality that you need in order to really stand out. Your lyrics are only going to sound as good as the quality of the beats that you spit them to. So how do you find a quality producer of hip hop beats? That's easy. You look at the history of the beat maker that is selling the beats.

Here are some things that you can do to check the quality of an artist. Hang out in rap forums and see if the artists name comes up. If that have quality stuff people will be talking about it! Join in on the chat and throw out some names of hip hop beat makers that you have come across and see what kind of response you get!

Search online for reviews of the people that are making and selling beats. You kind find virtually anything you want or need online! Type in the name of the artists + reviews into your favorite search engine and see what pops up.

Another way to determine if a hip hop beat maker is any good, listen to some samples and decide for yourself! If you like what you hear, go for it! You are the artist that is going to be using the beat after all! If you like it, who cares what others think!

So do a little bit of research on the hip hop beats that are available out there and ultimately pick what you like! Put your lyrics to it and work hard, I look forward to hearing your stuff on my radio! When you get big and famous, don't forget us little people!

My name is Tim Hooper and I get most of my beats from a veteran in the business! His stuff is solid! Let me know what you think of it!
