I feel so stupid right now...

I've been beatmaking for appr. 1 year now and - somehow due to my lack of musical knowledge aswell as the fact that I had to learn everything by myself - I've always thought you had to stick as a hip-hop producer to the following bpm rates:

90 bpm (or 180 bpm, which is basicly the same) because that's how rappers like it.

FALSE!

It's like whole new realms (I'm a sample-based producers) are opening up... Now I don't even have to spend hours on figuring out how to strech the sample so it does fit EXACTLY 90 bpm, etc.

Haa... Nevertheless, I love this whole hip-hop thing. It's like you never stop to learn and perfect your craft.

Hope my experience can help some of the newbies out there.

I just redid a few songs from established producers like THAT.

Sampling is really only about finding the right record and work on it a few minutes.

It doesn't really matter what BPM it's at(Unless it's 450 or some ish like that)... As long as you have everything on beat...
 
as long as the beat is hot, do your thang. you need different things in hip hop
 
usually 50 - 200 bpm can work for hip hop. and if u wanna go really abstract like Donuts then go even higher or lower.
