The Beat Debate: Sampled or Original?

When browsing the net for Hip Hop Instrumentals there are two main categories of instrumentals to focus on. Those categories are original beats and sampled beats. A lot of hip hop artists tend to lean towards sampled beats for their style of choice. If you are doing this then here are a few things you may need to consider. The main focus should be if you are working on your album or a non for profit project (mixtape, etc.). If you are working on an album with a low budget then you should stay away from all sampled beats. Most sampled beats that you will find on the internet will not have approved sample clearance. Without sample clearance you are not allowed to use these instrumentals on your album without paying for the clearance of the samples and this can end up being very expensive. So when making the decision between sampled or original beats make sure to take this into consideration before purchasing.   from buy instrumentals

Exclusive or Non-Exclusive Hip Hop Beats?

So you are ready to shop for some hip hop beats? Do you know exactly what you are looking for and what kind of license you need? Here are the first questions you need to ask yourself.

• Am I working on an official album or other (mixtape, music page, ets.)?
• How much money do I want to spend?
• Do I want to be the only person out there with the beat?

Exclusive Beats If you are working on an official album then when you are shopping for your beats for sale you want to take a couple of things into consideration. The 1st being how much money you have in your budget. If you have the financial ability you want to focus on exclusive beats for sale. When purchasing a beat exclusively you are going to get sole rights to the beat you purchase and most of the time you will also receive the tracked out version of the beat. Based on the producer there will be different royalty agreements but you need to take that up on a per beat basis. The beauty of getting the sole rights to the beat is that there is no chance that you will hear the same beat being used by another artist on an album or other form of media. The downside to these kind of beats is that you will be spending quite a bit of money. Exclusive beat usually range from $500 and up so keep that in mind when making your decision. Non-Exclusive Beats If you are currently working on a mixtape project, demo, or another non profit project that you will want to look to buy instrumentals that are Non Exclusive leases. When purchasing non exclusive beats the main purpose is to buy an affordable instrumental. Usually you will receive the beat in a mp3 form and sometime a wav form is aailable. Non Exclusives can range form usually $10 to $100. The downside to buying these types of beats is that they can be sold by the producer over and over and over. This means that hundreds of others may have the same beat to work with that you do. This is most definitely an affordable option when choosing what kind of beat to purchase. I hope this helps in your beat purchasing voyage’ from instrumentals
