Where to find hip hop beats???  This article will give you a few ideas to get you on the right path and keep those creative juices flowing.

FIND LOCAL HIP HOP BEAT MAKERS IN YOUR AREA

The most cost effective way to get hip hop beats is find a hip hop beat maker in your area.  If you are good enough and carry enough skill, most of the time you can work together to put out good hip hop music.  See, a hip hop beat maker (or producer) needs a hip hop artist to put together the verses and the hooks for the beats.  So this can be a very good partnership.  Start visiting local 'open mic' sessions in your area and start networking.  Let people know what you do and what you are looking for.  If you put in the work, you will eventually find someone who makes the type of hip hop beats that you like.  Trust me, they are everywhere and they don't have any certain look about them so you need to talk to everybody!  They are white, black, asian, latino, tall, short, glasses, no glasses...you just never know.  Be ready to spit a few bars for these guys if you don't have anything recorded.  You are looking for the best hip hop beats and they are looking for the best hip hop artist for their beats, so you will have to show and prove!

GET SOME FREE INDUSTRY HIP HOP INSTRUMENTALS

Well...since the US government took away all of our fil sharing software such as limewire, industry instrumental may be a little more difficult to find.  There are still a few sites out there that will leak the hottest instrumentals, but you don't have as many options as you used to have.  When I am looking for an industry hip hop instrumental, I usually have pretty good luck with www.hiphop-instrumentals.com.  Of course, you can always perform a search in google for "name of song" + "instrumental" and probably come up with some places to download the beat you are looking for.  Keep in mind that these beats are not royalty free, so you won't be able to make any money off of them without having to pay the producer or production company that owns the beat.
