[FlimFlam]

Started just to learn it so that i could make my own beatz and not deal with producer bullshyt...Eventually got to a satisfactory level and i got a few beats sold, but in my country rappers don't have that dough to really make me make a living off it! I use Cubase and Reason, but also a whole lotta vst plug ins....I also buy samples whenever i can to support the work of other producers, plus it gives me inspiration! Just a random beatmix for anybody that got the time to vibe to some beatz: If i knew any US rappers i'd pitch that 2.44 minute beat, especially those new westcoast artists! https://soundcloud.com/da-methaphorce/bate-sasho-bangerz-beatmix

nop

I'm pretty sure dudes like Superstar-O, Johnny Juliano and Twan Beatmaker
are eating better than most.
I remember watching that preview for "So you wanna be a producer ?"
and twan beatmaker was seeing 11K a MONTH off of Soundclick.
It makes me wonder what Johnny is seeing

 

[Xtraz2]

my best advisev is to send beats to my manager Pun.

so y'all can put league of stars on there and steal it

 

[FaTaL]

There are only two formulas that have been proven to be really successful for beatmakers..

1) Find a local rapper that you believe in and he/she believes in your sound, and grind together until you make it to the top...Work exclusive with that rapper and his camp, because you never know which beat is actually going to blow up...

Example of this formula are people like Dr Dre and NWA, Dr Dre and the Dogg Pound, Young Chop and GBE/OTF, Lex Luger and Waka Flocka and many more...

2) Find a producer with an established reputation and work under them...You will lose a lot of money, because they will take credit for your work...Examples are The Neptunes, Kanye West, Alchemist and many more...

Most of the top producers in hip hop (who have been consistent) cam from these two formulas...

And it's not only restricted to hip hop...If you listen to the stories of the legendary musicians, they all came up around other legends or other people who had their foot in the door...

Selling beats on the internet is not going to get it done...

You need to be go getter and move to a place were people are doing things and making things happen...

This is pretty much the truth....

One of my friends produced a bunch of shyt on John Legend's new album because he was working with under of one of John Legend's producers for the past 5 years. Of course other's stamped their names on to his work....

I was taking the 1st approach.....but to be honest I hated it because I hated my future being determined by another person. I'm actually a pretty prominent DJ in my area so I focused more on DJing as opposed to producing but I want to get back into producing tho.......I probably could get beats to just about anyone these days through my connections DJing but I just haven't been focused on production in so long. I need to sit down and focus and get back on my beat grind, maybe get beats to some underground artists I like working with and try to move some to some bigger artists. I'm so sample based tho that my style doesn't really work as well for this time period where everyone just wants trap beats and samples are much harder to clear.
