    to my west coast heads?

    For starters, you can use a funk or wah guitar, high pitched piano chords, and an 808 kick.

    Switching Styles

    I agree with that. You gotta have the right samples for sure. NY State of Mind is a perfect example of punchy drums and a dirty piano sample. don't limit your samples though, based on what style you're tryin to do. your own ear is always the best judge of what sounds good and your best friend.

    Ok, like NobleWordz said, Southern beats have a lot of hihats, particularily triples. They also use a lot of crazy synths and definetly heavy on the bass. To make a West Coast beat they have a lot of simple piano chord leads and funk wah guitar riffs. They also use a lot of 808s. To make a club...

    How long does it take for Production on a Track

    You guys should read Fade's article on sampling. I totally agree with it. Beats that take 15 min. are ususally too simple and repetitive. https://www.illmuzik.com/articles/editorials/sampling/index.php

    Quick newcomer questions concerning 'Leads'.

    Ok, let's not get started on Em, I think he's tight as hell but that's just my opinion. I know he's controversial and a lot of people hate him but I'll respect that. Anyways, thanks for the help. I didn't know any of that stuff.

    Reason users: i DO NOT feel sorry for you

    I believe "Wonder", who made T.I.'s "What You Know" beat uses reason and used reason to make that beat. They had an interview on youtube with him. That should serve as an example of hat you can do with it right there.

    Quick newcomer questions concerning 'Leads'.

    So on New York State Of Mind would the higher pitched piano chord be the lead? Alos, every song doesn't have a lead right? e.g. on Eminem's Business there's just that guitar till u get to the chorus.

    This is the greatest keyboard...

    Actually, there's one keyboard that even beats those too. The best overall keyboard is the Kurzweil K2600XS. It has better sound and tools.
