hi i want to make beats, i have fl studio 8 xxl but im not sure if im making any progress is there any other programs?

I am writing songs and just need free beats it doesn’t matter if it is already a popular song.

i neeeeeeddddd dirty souths live mixes. does anyone have a website that may direct me towards this.
as well as ultra music festival live mixes.
thanks.

I heard it was true that if you chewed Stride with the rapper still on it the flavor will last even longer.

What I mean is, there has been a marked decline in the number of successful mainstream rappers who seem to know/respect the history and roots of hip hop. Do you think there’s a correlation between this and the decline in the quality of mainstream music?

Is knowing and appreciating the history important for an emcee or do you think it makes no difference?

Explain your answer if you can.
