aight check it out dawg...im gonna school yall right quick.....first download fruityloops (thats for your beats)....then download acid pro (you can transfer any beats from fruityloops right into acid pro and hook up some acctual music with it, but you have to create it yourself on the program unless you download samples) then last but not least download sound forge (this is the program that lets you put your lyrics over your music, you can get a computer microphone for pretty cheap at best buy or curcit city) remember all this shit can be downloaded off of kazaa but i would use limewire www.limewire.com its faster and nobody got busted for stealin on it yet and all these programs are addaptable to eachother so have fun...but its alot of work...takes awhile to figure em out...but once youve got the basics down it can only get easier.........good luck......love peace and Nappiness
