Rap Beats - Finding Inspiration For Beats

Do you produce rap beats? If so, you have more than likely hit a wall at times when searching for inspiration in producing beats.
Inspiration is what powers our creativity and channels it into our music, art, or any other creative specialization. There are lots of ways to become inspired to make powerful rap beats, and I would like to share with you a few personal discoveries:
1. Times of extreme emotion:
Have you lost a loved one? Break up with your girlfriend/boyfriend? Get a job promotion? Times like these create powerful emotions within us, whether they are positive or negative.
Although these situations can range from extremely unfortunate to incredibly great, there is inspiration to be drawn from them. I personally have created some of my best rap beats as a direct result of personal trauma or enlightened times.
When you learn to channel this inspiration, you can reach beyond your personal limits and create amazing things. It is very important that you do your best to utilize these situations and create rap beats which directly reflect your emotions.
2. Discovery of new, inspiring music:
Today, there is virtually an unlimited amount of new music which comes out every day, and if you have an internet connection, you have access to it.
Open your ears to some new sounds. Listen to music that you normally do not listen to. Discover new artists.
Not only will this increase your chances to be directly inspired by new music, it will also enable your mind to hear new sounds, which will ultimately expand your musical capabilities. You will find that you become a better producer, and it will become easier to create new beats.
3. Going new places:
Getting out, travelling, going on a road trip or a vacation, etc. can be extremely inspiring to your music. You will see new things, have opportunities to meet new people, and perhaps most importantly, have the chance to clear your mind.
Learn to appreciate the sights and sounds of getting out. Even if you are just going to the book store, there are lots of things to take in and appreciate. Think about these things when working on your rap beat.
Vacations and road trips can be incredibly inspiring. Seeing exotic things, especially things you have never seen or experienced before, can all be translated some way into your rap beats.
I hope these 3 sources of inspiration can contribute to your success in producing rap beats. Thanks for reading!
