Hip Hop Instrumentals HQ - Purchase High Quality Rap Beats For Mixtapes.
What's good people it's Dan with The Corporate Thief Beats you're back with another Hip Hop Instrumentals tutorial or beat making Showcase. This is a little short video series of me showing you how I create my hip hop instrumentals in Logic Pro X. You can also purchase my hip hop instrumentals from my beat player which is located in the middle of this website.
Today’s rap beat tutorial is completely different than the previous beat tutorial videos that I've made already. The other beats that I've created are very evidently heard in hip-hop music. This one is a little bit different. I have hot and tons of different musical influences from the hip hop instrumentals that I like. I grew up listening to rock music and acoustic guitar music. I got into hip-hop late from a friend of mine in college. I like some EDM and dance music too but I don't really like most of it.
But I respect it and I like learning from it too because there are great skills to learn from other genres of music. But today I'm just going be showing you something that's a little bit of a weird rap instrumental. Something similar to a Kendrick Lamar type beat or Giggs. He's a British rap artist and his music influenced this beat. With some of his songs like “Whipping Excursion”.

Back to the beat making tutorial...I don't really like all the content that they write rap about. I don't understand a lot of the content Rick Ross or Gigg’s or Kendrick Lamar rap about, but I just love the way that their style of rapping is delivered
The hip hop instrumentals behind their songs and have a strange darkness and slightly influenced by some EDM and Trap sounds. The mix of the rap instrumental for me especially blends all of these genres together, while keeping a focus on the structure of the rap beat so that any rapper can rap over it.
I do like this kind of EDM grime trap style but I don't think it's very appealing to hip-hop artists in America. A lot of the people that buy my rap beats or use my beats are from America. Most people from other parts of the world and the UK still used them too. But only a small percentage of them. I do like the idea of the hip-hop beats that the UK market produces. They are starting to have a huge influence on the American style of rap music.
They still try and drag it back to garage that underground sound that England is associated with. Hip hop instrumentals that are normally known as Grime.
Especially within hip-hop are trip-hop. These are the kind of individual rap music genres in Britain but today's one is similar to what Giggs or Kendrick Lamar could rap over.
It's still at a temple for any pop hip-hop artists to rap on. The beat isn’t as aggressive as it might sound. It can be tweaked if a hip-hop artist wanted to remove some of the instrumentation
There isn't a lot here. I still adopted the minimalist approach to making this hip hop beat right here. The sounds that I picked here are really important. This is where the magic happens. In sound selection. Similar sounds found in a lot of dance music. Which has a common theme that is kind of repetitive, but unique?
All these arp and pad sounds come in and out. So this particular rap instrumental is not really a verse-chorus type beat.
It’s structured a little bit verse chorus verse with a twist. Where I put the verses with different sections within them. So it sounds like an EDM mixed with hip hop. These build up’s and drops sound where the main goal of the instrumental. It's really meant to hype the audience.
I really wanted this insane 808’s rumble in the background. Which would give a metronomic sound over and over again? A repetitive sound that's in dance music I kind of repeated that kind of movement but with the 808. Then I just electronic sounds in the background that I took from grime and EDM influences. There are lovely pockets for rap artists to rap over here in these type hip hop instrumentals.
There's a link in the in the description to so you can hear the complete beat above. Just listening over to this now as it's pretty insane with cool little effects in it.The track has a nice vibe to it. The beat is Called in my blood.
I really want to leave the drop on there at the end so you guys get a feel of what it sounds like. There are minute differences in this verse compared to the next verse.
The beat intro is comprised of the 808 basslines. This is the kind of movement that I was looking for true out the whole beat.
You see this commonly in the dance music where it just goes and it has that kind of common drum pattern going through the whole hip hop instrumental. But here in this beat I replaced that metronomic sound with the 808 and trap music elements.The 808’s are heavily compressed.
Very aggressive with its distortion, but I like that aggressiveness. I wanted it to peek true the mix. I wanted to rumble in the background. The MIDI will of this-this 808 is pretty basicIt's kind of just a continuation of-of one note over and over.
Again and there's some kind of skips within that one note and it's pretty simple. Take a look at the EQ. You can see that I scooped out some room for my kick drum to pop through the 808. That's where my kicks gonna feed through You can hear this a bit noisy here too. The plugins within logic pro x these days I just think they're just wicked
I can always find what I'm actually looking for. I think plugins have gotten so much better especially the compressors within logic. I tend to use the overdrive like a compressor now. A lot of people use FL Studio to make hip hop instrumentals. There’s nothing wrong with the program. I just use a Logic.
But a lot of them kind of have their specific tools to aggressively attack the kick without running the 808’s natural drive sound. I've tuned the 808 in the instrumental with ESX and Logic’s stock tuner as well just to help me make sure it's in key with everything.
I've cut more of the low-end off again. Really forcing the 808 to drive the instrumental. The whole beat actually reminds me of a band here in the UK called “The Prodigy” and I'm a huge fan of The Prodigy.
I 've seen them twice playing live. They're probably one of the best bands I've ever ever seen live.
I wouldn't say I'm the still I still listen to him a lot and these days but from time to time I usually look over they're all stuff and I kind of listen to him again I go to phases where I love certain types of music. These sounds in this instrumental are very similar to what the prodigy would use. Especially this kind of Voodoo sound.
I wanted a weird very effect there's no way to even explain what it sounds like. It sounds like a frog gurgling in the background. Hahaha
Just to add atmosphere in the background I added a pad sound called the binary dream. Removing the Silence of the beat. Adding pad sounds is very common in hip hop instrumentals and trap beats. It gives huge space for the rap artist to rap over without the need for rap melodies. The music producers behind Drake’s beats like Noah Shabibb and Boi 1da add in pad sounds a lot. This creates a mood similar to what a DJ would do in a live DJ set. They pull sounds in and out.
Some melodies are very basic. If I can be honest it was probably pretty lazy of me but it seems to work it would in the mix, so why mess with something that just works.Listening back to the melody it on its own it sounds a bit like a nursery rhyme. Simplicity is key to the creation of hip hop instrumentals and trap beats.I found a cool old vocal sample that I flipped it and added some reverb. This gave the beat a little more depth a filled in dead silence.
I've just reversed it, just to make it sound different Most people wouldn't actually flip the actual sample and then a lot of people would have the same sound.
Plus it fits with the mix, so that's that's the good thing. This kind of happens in specific sections of the of the track as well to the kind of accentuate the drop as well so you'll hear it all together before the verse comes in.That's really the crux of the beat. The hip hop/trap drums are pretty basic and they kind of follow the same pattern throughout the whole beat. It's not really the trap beats more like EDM sounds uses in more common hip hop instrumentals. That you see a lot of these days. If you're playing this live in a stadium or an event hall, the drops would be the focal point.
Made to rally the crowd. These particular hip hop instrumentals sound like Kendrick Lamar, aggressive 808 tracks.
