secrets of arranging high calibre hip hop/r&b

The thing is this hip-hop requires the zeal to Threat and inflict fear and earn respect..though since bggie& pac it has lost its value as people are going commercial instead of mainting the roots and main meaning of hip-hop..50 cent has failed us so much.!

i think that each of those song genres have a different recipe for success.

in hip hop you have to have confidence, be a great story teller, have a story to tell, be part of a strong network and have a fresh idea. I think that often times, people mix up hip hop for pop rap and that is not the same at all. There is a certain culture that revolves around hip hop and that is also part of the success of certain hip hop artists.

in r&b, you have to know the classics and strong rhythm and blues pioneers. You have to make sure that love is your focus as an r&b artists and you have to be able to hear it in your voice. artists like keysha cole and ne-yo are artists that are keeping r&b alive, unlike a lot of pop artists and wannabes.

in pop, all you really need is a good dance routine, a good chorus and a great producer to make a beat thats catchy. it does not take much more than a pretty face to be successful in pop music.
