i'm a begining rapper that is lookin for sumtin to give me background beats. is it a drum machine i should use n if it is wut kind should i use, i may sound confuzed now but i'm a quick learner n wit alittle help i will know wut to do. if u want to e-mail me at tailbak20@aol.com

The mc305, mc505, jx305 sounds so good to hip hop or rap. I have the last one and I like to travel in it's "back to lo-fi beats"

If you want to buy a piece to make your songs, try to buy the mc505 or another roland keyboard with the hip-hop expansion board. The xp30 haves a slot to connect it !!

Sorry about my english
