HipHopGear
After reading some of your post - it really shouldn't matter where your from. Hip hop and technology makes it where anyone can produce. As far as gear goes, I am using a Roland XP30, Yamaha PSR340, Roland MC-307, Mackie 1202 and using Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 and making some of the tightest sounds. The key to the "beats" is how fresh is the sound. Alot of producers in the hiphop/R&B field pretty much uses the same gear and thats cool. I really think it's how you use the gear and how innovative you can be Mannie Fresh, Swizz Beats, Timbaland etc uses some of the equipment that are mentioned in these post but there music sound fresh unlike hiphop in the mid to late 90's- we really don't want the same sounding songs - do we?

Everyone still trying to get the latest......
Why? Why is it that we always gotta have the new Jordan's or the latest Benz.
Of course I'll take a Benz over a pinto, or Jordan's over Pro-wings, but will the pro-wings limit me to practicing and playing?
Will it limit my "natural ability" to play?
Not at all.
If someone gave Dre, or Jay-Z a bucket, and an analog 4-track, they would still make some phat beats.
Not down playing anyone or any type of equipment, but I use a groovebox, Alesis QS6.1, and Cubase.
Not very much, and not fancy by far, but if I need to (more often than none) build my sounds from scratch, and then sequence;and to get even deeper, there are tons of ways to record indivual tracks, etc. through an amp in the bathroom and use it as the sequence. But that's going off topic.
What I will say is use what you have to the fullest and learn what your needs are as a producer. More than likely you can do what you want to do with what you have, and in the process learn your equipment and your unique style and approach to Music.
