Instrumentals and beats form a very important component of any hip hop artist. This is because, for a major percentage of hip hop artists, beats are what helps them create the lyrics to a song. There are, of course, other artists who first come up with the lyrics then look for a beat and instrumentals to match it with. The second method is a bit trickier, as you have to match the verses, chorus, and bridge to a beat that you don't even know yet. However, writing a song with the beat already in mind is easier. Some artists even claim to get inspiration from some of the instrumentals they hear.

Some hip hop artists are gifted with both the ability to write lyrics to songs as well as come up with beats and instrumentals to those songs. There are others who can do either one of the two i.e. write lyrics or create beats.
