....just one more thing, you say youre never very creative with your beats, well what I am saying to do is an exercise (think of it as homework!) so you just try and complete the excersice. COPY those beats - no creativity there, just practical learning. Then you WILL find that creativity comes....

Leonardo Da Vinci didn't just pick up a brush and start creating masterpieces.. you put in serious practical learning first... then you can be confidently creative....
