Ultimate R&B 2010 $29.59 The likes of Black-Eyed Peas and Taio Cruz may have moved the goal posts in terms of what's described as modern R&B, but despite the huge influence of dance music on the urban scene, the inclusions of Kylie Minogue's glittery disco-pop anthem "All the Lovers," and 3OH3!'s wolf-whistling electro duet with Katy Perry, "Starstrukk," on the Warner Bros. compilation Ultimate R&B 2010 are still utterly baffling, considering that in no way, shape, or form do either fall into that category. It's indicative of the hodge-podge nature of this 40-song collection; it's supposed to be a retrospective of the genre in 2010, but its track list contains material released as early as 1997 (the Notorious B.I.G.'s "Hypnotize"). But pedantics aside, Ultimate R&B 2010 is at least an unpredictable album which gathers number one hits from Bruno Mars, Cee-Lo Green, and Flo Rida alongside lesser-known tracks from Toni Braxton, Sean Paul, and Estelle, and artists yet to breakthrough in the U.K. like Janelle Monae, Trey Songz, and Waka Flocka Flame. Highlights from the first disc include Chiddy Bang's MGMT-sampling "Opposite of Adults," Plan B's '70s soul-inspired "The Recluse," and Naughty Boy's reworking of White Town's '90s chart-topper "Your Woman." Jay-Z's ode to New York, "Empire State of Mind," Jason DeRulo's empowering synth-led anthem "Ridin' Solo" and B.o.B.'s rap-rock hybrid "Airplanes" provide the standouts for Disc Two, while Missy Elliott's iconic "Get Ur Freak On" and Tweet's club classic "Boogie 2Nite" are the best of the several retro inclusions. Featuring grime, hip-hop, electro, dancehall, and soul, and both British and U.S. artists, Ultimate R&B 2010 covers most corners of the genre, but thanks to some bizarre song choices, it's a less credible and less-focused effort when compared to similar compilations. ~ Jon O'Brien, Rovi |

R&B Clubland $30.39 The triple-disc R&B Clubland claims to contain “The 60 Biggest R&B Anthems…Ever” but contains a lot of rap, nothing predating the late ‘80s, and several songs that are not the least bit anthemic. So, well…it lies. Even so, this is a decent, if somewhat random, compilation of R&B and rap from (roughly) the past 20 years. The highlights include Ne-Yo's “Because of You,” Sweet Female Attitude's “Flowers,” Donell Jones' “You Know What’s Up,” Ol’ Dirty Bastard's “Got Your Money,” and R. Kelly & Public Announcement's “She’s Got That Vibe.” ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi |

100% R&B $11.98 The Decadance label’s budget-line 100% R&B compilation contains 60 tracks across three discs and is not, technically, 100% R&B. There’s a fair amount of rap. Like most compilations of this ilk -- in size and price -- the selections are quite random, and several artists (in this case, the likes of Rahsaan Patterson, John Legend, Vikter Duplaix, and Roots Manuva) appear more than once. This is a mixed bag of mainstream, underground, and obscure R&B and rap released during the 2000s. One could probably find enough to like and justify the small expenditure. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi Performers: Valvin Roane - Vocals (Background); Pat Mclain - Bass; Pete Kuzma - Keyboards |

Xclusive R&B $15.98 This triple-disc set from the Union Square label sifts through roughly 15 years of popular R&B and pop-rap singles, at least as the English saw them. Beyond that somewhat loose theme, there's little apparent rhyme or reason behind the selection process, but with 45 inclusions, the average fan of modern R&B is bound to obtain a few songs he or she has been wanting, in addition to being introduced to a similar number of likeable inclusions. Highlights include SWV's "So into You," Monica's "Don't Take It Personal (Just One of Dem Days)," Aaliyah's "Back and Forth," V's "Anotha Phase," Dominic "Ski" Oakenfull's "Hang On," and Foreign Exchange's "Come Around." One negative aspect is that quite a few tracks are so laid-back and light on features that they fade into the background after a few seconds. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi |

Sexy R&B: 40 Massive R&B Anthems $27.99 The cover and title of this compilation -- Sexy R&B -- do not not match the entirety of the content within. The likes of Kesha’s “Tik Tok,” Soulja Boy Tell Em's “Kiss Me Thru the Phone,” Lady Gaga's “Poker Face,” and 50 Cent's “Candy Shop” are neither sexy nor R&B. Several other songs, meanwhile, are closer to chest-beating ballads (Chris Brown's “Crawl”) and dance-pop (Rihanna’s “Don’t Stop the Music”). Nevertheless, this is a decent compilation of rap, R&B, and pop circa 2009-2010. There are 40 songs between the two discs, and each one was a significant hit in the U.K., where the set was issued. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi |

Totally R&B $11.17 Released at the same time as its sister release, Totally Hip Hop, Totally R&B follows a similar path, basing itself on recent chart hits that are heavy on early-2003 chart entries. Again, it's this kind of compilation that's geared toward radio listeners and video-program watchers who don't go to the record store each week to stay up on all the new full-length releases. It's also a good way for those out of the loop to get back in, since it focuses on significant hits from within a rather specific time frame. Although the disc won't be as timely in a few years, it'll still function as a time capsule for the period it covers. Key tracks include Alicia Keys' "A Woman's Worth," Angie Stone's "Brotha," Nivea's "Laundromat," Tyrese's "How You Gonna Act Like That," Luther Vandross' "I'd Rather," Kenny Lattimore and Chanté Moore's "Things That Lovers Do," R. Kelly's "Ignition," and Jaheim's "Put That Woman First." As a look at the smoother, more contemporary sounds of the R&B/hip-hop chart, Totally R&B functions as a fine summation. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi |

Pure... R&B $15.29 One of the best extensive overviews of ‘90s and 2000s R&B you’re likely to encounter, Pure... R&B is a four-disc/68-track box from Sony that focuses on hits. The majority of the selections come from the Sony catalog, but the set includes too many significant singles for that to be much of an issue, especially when the box is sold for the price of a single-disc new release. Essentials galore here -- Amerie’s “1 Thing,” Groove Theory's “Tell Me,” Aaliyah’s “Back and Forth,” TLC’s “Creep,” Next’s “Too Close,” Koffee Brown's “After Party,” Monica’s “Don’t Take It Personal,” and Donell Jones' “U Know What’s Up” among them. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi |

New Breed R&B $16.38 To ask the question that might be asked by soul fans sitting at the table for a Passover dinner: Why is this soul compilation different from all other soul compilations? Particularly when it's comprised of Kent/Modern '60s singles on a reissue label that has issued dozens of obscure '60s soul anthologies and already heavily raided the Kent/Modern vaults? Well, as the subtitle -- "soulful '60s blues for today's dancers" -- indicates, it draws more heavily from blues and roots R&B than much soul does, although it's definitely much more a soul disc than a blues or R&B one. Frankly it's a little more interesting than other rare '60s soul comps, not just because of the blues/R&B factor, but also because the material is often a little moodier and less predictable than much soul played at England's Northern soul clubs. It's a mixture of pretty seldom-traveled cuts by stars (B.B. King, Lowell Fulson, Ike & Tina Turner, and Bobby "Blue" Bland), fairly well-known singers (Z.Z. Hill, Big Mama Thornton, and Jimmy McCracklin), and no-names, at least to those who don't hang out at Northern soul venues. There are a good number of above-average items here, like Little Joe Hinton's unusually passionate early blues/R&B/soul hybrid "Tired of Walkin'"; Jackie Shane's sultry "Stand up Straight and Tall" (cool organ groove here); the Newports' minor-key "Dixie Women"; Frank Armstrong's percolating soul-funk instrumental "Stuffed Peppers (Aka Humpin')"; Jimmy McCracklin's "I Got Eyes for You," which is actually Muddy Waters-derived blues recorded in 1955 and not issued until 1962; and Jimmy Holiday's "The New Breed," an acceptably urgent alteration of "Shake." As for the rest, even the rather generic stuff is listenable, and the rhythmic pace varies all over the map instead of sticking to the cheery mid-tempo so many soul anthologies do. ~ Richie Unterberger, Rovi |

R&B Collection: Summer 2009 $30.39 Slightly misleading in its title, R&B Collection: Summer 2009 was released in May 2009 and didn’t quite forecast what was to come, and a handful of selections date as far back as 2003. Still, it’s a decent and reasonably priced 39-song collection that rounds up a number of chart hits from late 2008 through early 2009. And it should be noted that the set isn’t strictly R&B; R&B in this case is code for music that is not rock-oriented, as the set covers not just R&B but rap and dance-pop. The highlights include Tinchy Stryder’s “Number 1,” Ne-Yo’s “Miss Independent,” Taio Cruz’s “She’s a Star,” Jazmine Sullivan’s “Bust Your Windows,” and Danso’s “Tell Me.” ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi |

Essential R&B: Summer 2010 $27.19 Essential R&B: Summer 2010, released by Rhino U.K., entails not just R&B but R&B-leaning pop, rap, and dance-pop that bears little relation to rhythm and blues. While the selections are mostly up to date, some of them reach back a couple years (John Legend’s “Green Light” and Jennifer Hudson’s “Spotlight,” for instance). Among the more popular songs included here are Usher’s “OMG,” Alicia Keys’ “Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart,” Alexandra Burke’s “Broken Heels,” and Chipmunk’s “Look for Me.” All in all, a decent, if somewhat random, round-up of major charting U.K. singles circa mid 2010. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi |

R&B Love Songs 2010 $27.19 Another volume in the popular series of double-disc compilations, R&B Love Songs 2010 includes 40 contemporary R&B singles, some of them British and some of them American. The first disc is more or less uptempo music fit for club play, while the second disc has a lot of laid-back slow jams. Contemporary R&B circa 2010 was closely intertwined with rap music. Consequently, there is a bit of rap heard here and there on the first disc, for instance, rappers Soulja Boy on "Kiss Me Through the Phone," Fabolous on "Everything Everyday Everywhere," and Kanye West on "Supernova." The second disc is pure R&B without the rap. Other songs that don't fit exactly into the R&B category include dance-pop hits like Black Eyed Peas' "Meet Me Half Way," Lady Gaga's "Love Game," and Shakira's "She Wolf." Again, these tracks aren't as diverse as those on the first disc. Highlights of that first disc include JLS' "Beat Again," Taio Cruz's "Break Your Heart," and Chris Brown's "Forever." As for the second disc, highlights include Rihanna's "Russian Roulette," Mariah Carey's "I Want to Know What Love Is," and Jeremih's "Birthday Sex." If there's a complaint to be made about R&B Love Songs 2010, it wouldn't be about the quality of the material, which is generally top-notch and sequenced well enough, but rather how out of date some of it is. For instance, though this album promotes itself as synonymous with 2010, it includes oldies like Justin Timberlake's "What Comes Around," which dates back four years to 2006. ~ Jason Birchmeier, Rovi |

2. Adding the bass - one that perfectly fits your style and song
three. Add an orchestration. An orchestration is basically picking instruments that go well together. Tip: use a 'metaphor 'to support you select the kind of instrument you'll use. For instance RnB metaphor will then give you a concept of putting something jazzy just like a piano or jazz guitar strums.
4. The whole song consists of an intro, verse, chorus and so forth. All you have to do is copy what's required to be repeated and if you would like to alter anything in between, the chorus for instance, you'll be able to tweak it in to make the song or beat is more dynamic. Just bear in mind to be playful and do not forget how the notes and beats go together.

But you need to be mindful too of the listeners or intended audience. You ought to have an intro, a verse and a chorus. It is possible to then repeat particular beats or cut some out should you desire.
So, tickle your senses and switch on your creativity. Create beats, assemble and arranged them. Viola! You now have your fresh hot rap beats! And who knows, if you've got some talent along with a knack for this thing, you might be able to sell your beats on line, possibly even earn a fortune and make it massive.
