Anyone make music on their computer? What program should I use to make some beats?

I wanna start making some beats, mainly rap/hip-hop (yea yea yea... rap sux blah blah blah). What program would be good for making those types of beats? I have storm music studio but it seems to only be uselful in creating techno/trance beats. Thanks.

I use FruityLoops3 sometimes but its a demo version.... can still make loops and stuff and save it though...

FruityLoops is gonna be the easiest to get started with and if you want to move onto something more professional, get Reason.
