You can make beats online now, for much, much less, and way easier. Rap beat making software exists that can do as much or more than today's drum machines. You're going to need to use a computer to finish your work anyway, so make beats online and do it the smart way!
When budding musicians decide that it's time to start making beats, they come across a huge issue almost instantly. Should they buy musical equipment for making beats, or make beats online? I'm here to tell you that it is in your best interest to start where it's easiest and cheapest and start making your own beats online.
Follow me through a little scenario. Let's say you want to make some beats and you already have a computer. You also have a few hundred dollars saved up for some music equipment. You go to a music store and check out all of the beat making devices on the market - drum machines, grooveboxes, MPCs, synthesizers, etc. You decide on one that fits your budget and style and purchase it. You take it home and record a perfect hip hop masterpiece, minus the vocals, and maybe even minus all instrumentation if you bought a low-end beat maker.
So this is where you stand now: you have an album's worth of your own amazing beats, but without any music or vocals. That doesn't add up to much of a legendary rap record.
You're going to need to get your beats out of your drum machine/groovebox thing and somehow mix them with your other instrument tracks. If you or one of your band mates has come up with some fiery lyrics and recorded some truly amazing vocal tracks. How are you going to put that all together?
There will come a time in your life very soon, young beat maker, when you will have to put all of your music on a computer to have it burned as a CD or MP3 set. If you are reading these word right now, you most likely have access to a computer. If you have access to a computer then you can skip the whole part about going to the music store and dropping hundreds of dollars on equipment.
