Rap Beats for sale - royalty free

Back At It (2/6/09)

So i took a little vacation from the website recently. I guess i just burned myself out. I had no idea what it took to Run, Operate, And manage a website as well as SEO to get search engine traffic. To say the least i really was not focused on anything particular in my life. Finding time for my 9-5, my relationship, my family and friends was not really an option while i was neck deep into running this site.

Well... Now im back.

So make sure to stay posted for large updates to the beats, as well as to the rest of the features on the site. I am currently working on a guide for producers and artist to show you step by step how to get recognition and get noticed using the internet as a way to network your music.

Do you want to start a web page?

Do you want your site to show up in the top 10 results on google when someone types in the search term "rap music"?

If so that is what i am going to show you how to do without all the extra bullshit. I have been at this for quite some time. Within 3 months i had my site in the top 5 search results for google and yahoo with my select search terms. And i guarantee now that im back at it i will be in the top 3 or 2 before you know it. Stay posted and make sure to signup to my newsletter because i will be keeping everyone posted as to where i stand with this project. The goal is to set a release date for mid March. Stay tuned and make sure to get your hands on this guide because it could be life changing for you! I know this site has been life changing for me. It took alot of work but if you are willing it will pay off.

So i ended up in a forum today (11/3/08)

So I ended up in a forum today that i wont mention. Many artists that i consider respectable tend to visit this forum on the regular. Im browsing through when all of the sudden i see that my website has been mentioned. And of all topics i am involved in a topic about why the Music industry is failing. I proceed to give my side of the story with some people agreeing and some disagreeing because their simple asses cant understand a simple sentence and nothing pisses me off more than when someone is bitching about something you have said when they dont even understand what you said. But hey.. They do say that ignorance is bliss.. So anyways.. These people are saying that because artists are lowering their standards and buying beats for the price on my site that people are being lazy and ruining themselves. What gets me is that i never understood why artists would spend a ton of money on beats for projects like mixtapes and demos. 98% of these tracks are not released for distribution or radio play. So why spend a G for these kinds of projects. There are enough spots and people around to find talented producers to sell you very good beats for cheap if not free. For every artist there is a producer somewhere who will respect the talent and work with them to help get their own name out there hand in hand. Basically this is just a rant because people piss me off. In my world i like to view my page as an all access pass to the industry. Wether you are using these rap beats for your myspace, your mixtapes, or your demos, artists are going to produce more tracks and get better when they have new material to work with. If every producer charged 2 g's for every beat then there wouldnt be such a thing as the underground artist that are next to make it in the game. And lets face it. If you are really into hip hop then you probably know tracks by more artists that are considered underground than artists that are mainstream. So these rap beats are for sale to anyone. Wether you just started out in the game and are looking for beats to proctice your flow on, Or you are a vet looking for some crack for a mixtape. Wether you need quality hip hop beats for a mixtape or demo, or instrumentals for any type of project this website gives you the chance to spit on a Industry quality beats without breaking your bank. So fuck practicing on jacked beats when you can make something you can really call your own and be proud of.

Keep blazin those track.. The industry NEEDS YOU!!

Crate Digging : The New Age (10/19/08)

Today i was working on some beats when i decided i wanted to hit up some of my old school roots and work on some sampled beats for the "Mood Swings" mixtape that my man Rated R is planning on releasing in February. It was then when i suddenly realized how the digital age of producing has changed so much. As i sat at my computer and fired up my browser and limewire I began to think of which artists i wanted to try and find unheard music from and try and find a little gem to sample. Then i decided to head straight to torrentpond and search for the keyword music and download some random tunes i had never heard before. As i ran down to grab a soda i almost tripped over my turn table sitting on the floor and realized that i probably had not touched it to make a beat in close to a year. In a way it was depressing to think that my little baby that i payed no more than 200 bucks for was probably going to barely be used ever again. Vinyl is a thing of the past. Now dont get me wrong.. I still like to hit the local vinyl store every once in a while and hope to find that sweet little rythym or that dope drum beat.. But for the most part i dont have to leave my desk. I search randomly.. I download.. Then i load up into acid and chop away. 20 Minutes later im loading my chops up and i'm on my way to another classic rap beat. Its funny to think where we are going to be in another 10 years. I just saw an add on TV for a new touch screen computer. It is scarry to think what we will be looking at in the future. The music industry as a whole has changed exponentially in the last 5 years. Im intrigued to see what happens in the next 5.
