text: how can i learn to be a hip hop producer?   work as an intern in a studio with a producer. take classes in music, communications, and business which is very important. music is a business and it is a tough business. the more skills you have in music, the better chances of getting a job in this industry. offer your services to studios and advertise as well as network with people in the industry. definitely learn where hip hop came from. i did my internship at virgin records in england and thanks to that, i work as a fulltime producer at local recording studio.
