There is a new age taking place now and it’s going to change the music industry for good. The hip hop and rap scene has never witnessed anything like this. If you check back 10 years ago, this new age was not even being implemented by anyone. The producers back then didn’t have any websites, emails or even MP3’s! So how did the industry take such a huge twist?

Around the time of 2005, producers who found their ways onto the internet started to realize that not only were other producers online, but rappers were too. It couldn’t make any more sense than to somehow talk to these artists and promote beats to them. Even in 2005, things were not as advanced as they are today. Thanks to flash players, rappers can now buy beats online with clicking their mouse maybe 5 times.

How come so many rappers choose to buy beats online? Why don’t they go to a real studio producer and buy beats from them? The amount of money that the "big producers" are selling their beats for are not in the same league as majority of up and coming artists. They don’t have the budget to meet the producer’s costs for beats and instrumentals.

So what are they left with? Forget about their rap career and move on? This is why a very high percentage of rappers now buy beats online. Producers who sell their beats online understand the budget of up and coming artists. Leasing a rap beat for $20 is a great system for everyone. Not to mention, rapper’s love this and can easily afford it.

That’s not to say that the quality of these $20 beats is downgraded. You can find super high quality, industry sounding beats for this same price. No kidding rappers are grabbing a hold of as many beats as they can. There is absolutely no reason to search down a big producer and spend $1000’s for their beats.

Thanks to the internet, this whole system to buy beats online changed the entire music industry for good. This will never end because music is always needed. More and more artists are birthed every year and will always need new beats for their songs. The amount of rappers to producers is also a great balance for the whole.

Making beats isn’t as easy as it may seem if you’re watching a producer do it. And for this reason, most rappers will never find the need to try and make their own beats. It’s so much easier and efficient to buy beats online from a producer who knows exactly what he’s doing.
