‘The Beat Tips Manual’ (Amir Said) is the definitive study of the art of beatmaking (hip hop production). Brilliantly divided into five major parts – a riveting History part, an extensive Instruction (how-to) part, an insightful Interviews part, which features exclusive interviews with DJ Premier, DJ Toomp, Marley Marl, 9th Wonder and more, an explosive Music Theory part, and a Business part – ‘The Beat Tips Manual’ is robust, detailed, and comprehensive. Containing a sharp analysis of the origins of beatmaking, as well as its key aesthetics, principles, priorities, and predilections, ‘The Beat Tips Manual’ is an incisive look at the art of beatmaking – and an intense read. Not only the most complete examination of the hip hop/rap music process, it’s also among the leading studies of hip hop culture itself. Destined to expand and transform traditional ideas about musicians, musicianship, and musical processes, ‘The Beat Tips Manual’ is one of the most important and innovative music studies ever published.
