Try starting with a very basic drum pattern, kick on 1, snare on 2 and 4.
 
This is something you'll have to figure out as you go.

Its not like I or anyone can be like do this and it'll magically make your stuff bang like dre's.

I can say to keep your snares spaced evenly per bar. Some offsets and such add spice, but for the most part, even spacing works over and over.

As for different arrangements of bars, you'll want some drops and breaks. Drops are key, and usually come either on the fourth bar or the first, and sometimes on both. Breaks are harder to really catch, but they tend to be on the forth out of an eight bar pattern.

Then you have bridges and chorus, the key ingredients for a track. Chorus is the staple, hold the song together between verses. The bridge is the butter on the pancake. It adds that much more to it, since it's a completely new part to the track, different.
 
when it comes to rappin over beats,the simpler the better..make a basic drum loop,you hear drum loops all the time and they're all basically the same..boom...bap..thas it..fill in the rest but not too much..if you can bop your head to the drumbeat alone then you're on the right track..also,drums is not just kicks and snares,hi hats and percussions make all the difference in a drumbeat..now you arrange all other instruments around drum pattern being careful not to change the rhythm by overfilling it ..here's the easiest beat a rapper can spit over : that drum pattern,a sample (chopped/looped) and a bassline..thas all he/she needs but as producers we get more creative and with experience you learn to blend other instruments in with the sample..or just don't sample at all
 
No offense to anyone, but thinking "simple drums" are easy to rap to is an indication that you don't know what rappers look for in beats.

As long as the sh*t will make you break your neck nodding to it, you can rap to it easily. Period. That varies depending on one's rap style. So there's no answer beyond making the beat fit the rapper you have in mind for it.

thas false....tracks with alot of instruments goin on is a lil harder to rap over,never said you couldn't rap over them ...which is why certain instruments get taken out during the verse part of the song so the vocals sit in the beat better and the rapper ain't competing with the complex chord section or w/e...I was rappin before I started producing and why I started making beats/producing cuz nobody locally was making the beats I like...rappers like the beat to be around them not them having to chase the beat

Edit: your comment isn't completely false but a bit misleading ESP to someone thas new to this..

most drum patters are all all most the same so just listen to other beats that u like from your favorite producers and use those same patters until u get the hang of making your own. some times it could be ur melodies maybe they cant think of words to go with the melodies like when it comes time to write a hook artists some time's sing are rap along with ur melodies
 
juz study songz that have that feel, practice the drums and snares from those songs as well as tha mood. main thing iz just keep on working on it. you'll get better at it

word!
something to that effect

EDIT: thinking about it. If you know a rapper who will come back to you and say "OH MAN this beat is too complex for me to rap to" tell him to **** off and not be so terrible.

LAZY

GST, make sure you reread the bold I highlighted in that statement. I'll go as far as to say, you gotta be a garbage rapper to not be able to rap to a drum because it's not basic. If "Basic=easy to rap to" was the opinion shared by all how the f**k did Timbaland become the hip hop producer with the most credits period?

very very well said deranged..Co sign...I mean why would any1 make their beats simple n without any depth.??....If u wanna be in the game to make simple beats for whack rappers....Then u SHOULD SERIOUSLY RE-THINK UR CAREER...I know this cat's just startin out...But always remember NO ONE'S GONA CALL YOUR BEAT HOT..If it's SIMPLE...The RAPPER'S GONA TAKE ALL UR SHINE...The dr dre era of simple beats are over..Even he's been off that a long time ago...I'm not sayin all beats have to be complex..But they have to have depth...No offence to anyone...Plain Fact...Zaeed..Outta here.
 
Preemo: boom ..bap..ba-boom-bap..hi hats..sometimes a lil percussion..sample...bassline..simple (name a wack Preemo beat ?)

9th: boom....bap...bap...hats..no percussions..sample...weak bassline..simple

Alchemist:boom....bap...bap...boom..bap..hats..sample..bassline..simple

Pete Rock:boom..bap..boom bap..ba-boom bap..hats...sample..bassline..simple

Pharell: don't get me started

Dr.DRe:boom..bap...boom...bap...chords/melody..bassline..simple

Marco Polo: boom boom bap..bom bap..hats..sample..simple

Khrysis: boom ba-boom bap..boom bap...hats..sample..bassline

Rza: boom bap...boom bap...hats..sample..simple (and nine ni99az at a time kills his beats lmao)

your drumbeat don't need this great depth to have rhythm,thas whas effin with yall workflow...and I'll kill any beat,thank you but you can keep the track with all the extra pads and percussions,unless it's really that hot..if some ppl wanna load their drum pattern til there's no breathing room,good luck with that,,hey w/e works for ya but yall gonna have that man in the studio all day tryna do something he doesn't know how to instead of starting basic and working from there.if you can't turn something simple into a diamond then I guarantee your beats aint and won't be all that..nothing personal,that goes for any and every...


don't let these ppl fool you,homeboy..apparently simple works damn well..you can add all the 'depth' you want,that don't mean it has a rhythm and swing..just like dudes with $100,000 equipment,that don't mean his beats are hot.and again we're talking about a drumbeat not the whole beat...lmao

lemme tell you what happens as a new jack tryna be 'complex'..'oh ****.that sounded good,lemme record that!'...'oh ****,that sounded good too ,lemme record that!'..'damn that was hot,lemme record that!'...'wooooooooooooo that was bangin,lemme record that!'..'mmmmm that sounded like Dr,Dre right there,I'm bout to record that!' 'that was hot,record'..'hot!...*record'...'nice!...*record' and all this time ,you're in the stu bangin your head cuz it's hot to you...play the beat for a rapper 'ehhh,it's a aight dogg but it's too much goin on,take so and so out' ...any producer that says he's never heard those words is a liar
 
most important stay on beat

well first it matters wat program ur gonna use then wen u get ur program up and running find the metronome or (click) and place ur kick snre in hi hat in the appropriate place corresponding wit the click
 
and when Timbaland first came out,they were BASIC double-time drumbeats that he perfected on thru time...it was his strong keyboard performance that got him on
 
^^^I ain't say you had to make an in depth drum....I said the beat had to be hot. I usually make basic drums myself.

But you did say drums had to be basic to be easy to rap to. I simply pointed out there is no template to follow.

See the differential in views there?
 
Just want to add most rap songs fall between about 70 and 120 BPM.

If you're using FL Studio, the default tempo is 140. Bring it down to about 90 or 95 and you might have better luck too.

Didn't see anyone mention that yet...

You might add a little swing if you didn't do that either...10 or 15% maybe?

One more thing...when I turn on my faucet in the kitchen, I have to let it run for about 10 seconds to get all the brown water to go away. After that I'm good to go and it tastes great!!!
