Anyone here into it?
Did a bunch of it between '98-'05. Pretty out of touch with the software and peripherals that are popular currently.

That’s exactly what I’m wondering about. Any clue as to a good entry level beatmaker?

Fruity Loops

It was what me and my friends messed around with. Fairly user friendly. You can get a free trial of it I believe and the basic stuff is enough to play with and see if it's worth paying for.

Yeah - I'm not sure on that. Most guys I know are using Ableton and all kinds of wild trigger pads. 

Akai still makes several versions of the MPC sampler and there's a free beat making software that comes with it I think. 
This one seems to be popular for use with software: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/MPD218

This one has the on-board hardware and the interface: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/MPCStudioBk
