You know those people who are always talking about making it big but the music they create just really does not sound good? I had a friend like that and this dude would sit there at his computer all hours of the day churning out beats, but I never could bring myself to tell him they sounded like garbage. The guy’s problem was he would never take advice from anyone.
You see, hip hop and all forms of music have certain formulas that every producer uses to make the music sound good and the way that the listeners are expecting. You can’t get creative until you know the basics. Anyhow, I never could get this guy to see the light until I showed him Rap Beat Tips and he got a clue. The videos and tutorials on the site showed him what he was doing wrong. He had all the passion, but none of the technical skill that you have just got to have in order to make your stuff sound like it was made in a real studio and not your mom’s basement. This kid actually turned himself around and now he makes music that doesn’t give me a headache.
But here’s the thing, why did this actually change things for him? Easy, all he did was follow the real advice from the pros. You aren’t going to get these kinds of secrets without paying, but I think the money I spent on him was worth it because now I have beats I am not embarrassed to rap over thanks to what he knows how to do now. The step by step guides are what make all the difference. Just watching him go through this stuff I picked up plenty and now I can make my own beats if I have to even though that isn’t where my passion is. He didn’t have the best equipment but the stuff he makes now is tight and he still doesn’t have the best machines to work with.
Still, the pure fact that people aren’t dissing his work proves that he has come a long way. We were able to hook up some tracks to play on Twitter and people raved about how good they were. That is why I am trying to say Beats 2 Rap 2 is totally worth it for me. We got our stuff together and we know what we are doing. I hate seeing other musicians struggle because I remember what that was like. One course and you know what you are doing and you can improve from there until you really have your career where you want it to be.
Don’t be stubborn about things like my friend, not when you have awesome tools to take advantage of. Get your music out there and enjoy the fan feedback!
