Free hip hop beats are everywhere on the Internet, though the character certainly leaves something to be preferred. I certainly wouldn't advise trying to take a large commercial album using missing beats, but for the beginning rapper it's an ideal way to start for little cost. Over time, and as you skills develop, you can reinvest some money towards making initial instrumentals for your album. Nevertheless, there are a a few situations where you may score free hip hop beats that have a degree of quality.
The first place to check out is Jamendo. This is a website that allows you to search for music by genre, country and most importantly, the license for the work. There are two main distinctions when it comes to using other people's tracks. For example, they could allow people to use their songs, but not commerically, while others allow commercial use so long as you don't modify the music.
For our purposes I recommend you look for for tracks that can be changed and practiced commercially. The simplest direction to do this is to use the Creative Commons search engine (which comes included with Firefox browser). Navigate to Jamendo practicing the CC search engine and make sure to click the boxes that say ""use for commercial purposes" and "modify,adapt, or form upon." You can research for free hip hop beats, or narrow it down by genre. For example, if you are searching for a rock sound to add to an existing track, you can search the rock section. All in all, Jamendo is truly a one stop shop for hip hop instrumentals and loops.
Another solid site is through huge hip hop forums. Most of them make a section where you may contact manufacturers directly and need for some beats. This is normally more time consuming than using the research engine, but if you are a regular assembly poster with some credibility, these producers are more probably to offer some rap beats for you to work with.
There are a wide variety of free hip hop beats available, and using Jamendo and online forums you can get a hold of enough to keep you spitting lyrics for years to come.
Remember, that when you get something for free, you don't have a partner to work with. You're not paying for their service, which usually means that any changes, no matter how small, will have to come from your end.
