The number one thing you need to know when learning how to make a hip hop beats is the difference between a good rap beat that is okay for amateurs to practice on and a hot hip hop beat that will be catchy and will get played on the radio and in the clubs. A hot professional hip hop beat consists of a few different things that you should first understand. The drum patterns are crisp and they usually have a long offset bass pattern behind them. The high hats usually roll every four to eight bars and they compliment the main rhythm of the beat and secondary background rhythms. There are usually about three background rhythms that are each comprised of different instruments or sounds. Begin by listening to a beat that you like a few times with a pen and a paper. Write down exactly how many keys or strings or synthesizer sounds you hear. When listening to each sound ask yourself which ones are just a sound sprinkled here and there in the beat and which ones are actually playing a melody. Normally if there is something just sprinkled here and there throughout the beat it is usually just a sound effect or several sound effects but the actual instruments are usually playing a melody. Next grab a computer program like the ones that are used by rapper Soldier Boy, who created a huge song that sold gazillion records all on his laptop. Once you have a good beat making program (don't use just any program because a lot of them are a rip off), start your track with a cool instrument rhythm. Then start adding the drums sounds that you like. I would suggest using a kick drum because the base drums usually accent the kick and the snare drums. Next add in some high hats. Now add a base drum into the mix. Then find another instrument that you like or more importantly that fits with the track so far and come up with a secondary melody. Repeat this with another instrument sound that you like and later add some sound effects. I hope this points you in the right direction.
