When putting your beats on the internet and letting others hear them what are the bars you put them in? Ya know like 8 bars for a verse 4 for the hook. Is there like a sandard that I should put all my beats in. I produce mostly hip hop and R&b music.

Do what you fell pimp?
better yet if you want your shit to sound like every one else
its simple listen to some internet beats and count the bars
its 4 beat to a bar and "if you will " copy what they do?
then freak the shit the way you want 2.

hope this is want you meant.

all we got left is the beat

most traditional song structure for loop based music (hip hop) goes like
4 bar intro
16 bar verse
8 bar hook
16 bar second verse
8 bar hook
4 to 8 bar bridge
16 bar hook
8 bar out.

this is real flexible though. U can do whatever but for most shit u hear on radio and whatnot is layed out like this. intro, 3 verses, 2 or 3 hooks, and an outro. if u listen to most songs thats usally the format. sometimes u might have the hook right after the intro then the verse then another hook.
