Why Does Hip Hop Production Have So Many "Rules"

solah wrote:The Golden Rule to Making is Beat is only sample records or have some type of samples with this in mind the equation will sum up to hip hop.

looping is not fun to people with shallow crates, if you got deep gems in your network of crates then looping is heaven. Chopping to me is taking a loop that is familiar it doesnt have to be used just known and diced to your needs to flip your ****. Looping involves 24/7 digging through the crates at thrift stores/ swapmeets/ neightbors garages/ wackos storage places/ auctions at storage facilitys etc. comming home with dust and dirt and the smell of old vinyl with your back aching, fingers soar. blistered up and warts. Then taking the fuc king records and cleaning them one by one placing em on the table and making beats

Looping is a serious trade, im only 18 (was 17 less than a month ago)....i make beats on an sp-202, smoke weed, record it to my 4-track reel to reel (used to have it), and think about music continusly. but what do i know ............Hehehehe;)

Sorry but i can't a gree with that at all.

Sometimes loops aren't so easy to find. This is expecially prevalent in crazy jazz albums of the 70's. When they jump from time signature to time signature...

how can the music progress and create new sounds if there are rules... man i set the rules I feel good with my self.. nobody cant come up to me and say "You cant produce like that!" I produce How I want to produce, period!.
