Producers may find a beat they like on an old funk, soul, or disco record. They then isolate the beat and turn it into a loop. Alternatively, producers may create a beat with a <a href="/wiki/Drum_machine" title="Drum machine">drum machine</a> or by hiring a drumkit percussionist to play acoustic drums. </p><p>The producer could even mix and layer different methods, such as combining a sampled disco drum break with a drum machine track and some live, newly recorded percussion parts or a live electric bass player. A beat created by a hip hop producer may include other parts besides a drum beat, such as a sampled <a href="/wiki/Bassline" title="Bassline">bassline</a> from a funk or disco song, dialogue from a spoken word record or movie, or rhythmic "scratching" and "punches" done by a <a href="/wiki/Turntablist" class="mw-redirect" title="Turntablist">turntablist</a> or DJ. </p><p>An early beat maker was producer <a href="/wiki/Kurtis_Blow" title="Kurtis Blow">Kurtis Blow</a>, who won producer of the year credits in 1983, 1984, and 1985.

One of the most influential beat makers was J. Dilla, a producer from Detroit who chopped samples by specific beats and would combine them together to create his unique sound. </p><p>Those who create these beats are known as either beat makers or producers, however producers are known to have more input and direction on the overall the creation of a song or project, while a beat maker just provides or creates the beat.

In particular, the word "bitch" is seen in countless songs, from NWA's "A Bitch Iz a bitch" to Missy Elliot's "She is a Bitch". It is often used in the negative connotation of a woman who is a shallow "money grubber". Some female artists have tried to reclaim the word and use it as a term of empowerment.
