Concerning the mic, I started recording with a 5$ second hand mic and I never upgraded
Most of the music making softwares will let you record audio from the mic as well.
The are many programs for doing beats: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Audio_Workstation#Commercial_systems
My favorites are Ableton Live and FL Studio (Producer Edition), which I think is one of the best for doing beats, but you need to find out for yourself what works best for you.
You can demo them:

And if you end up getting FL Studio you can use my promo link for 10% discount: https://support.image-line.com/jshop/shop.php?offer=Default&promo=BACJBAB469
Just make sure to get the Producer Edition or XXL version as the other ones don’t support audio in recording for the mic.

With today’s technology, creating rap beats is not nearly as difficult as it used to be but the top 3 steps remain the same. These are the things you absolutely must have to even create your first beat:
* The Will
* The Way
* The Movement
Let’s start with The Will. It all starts here. You’ve got to do more than just want to be a producer. You have to have the willpower to figure out what it takes then do what it takes to be successful. And let’s stop and define success real quick: Success is the progression of a worthy goal. This means success is not obtaining the goal but the journey you go through to obtain it.
This is where your will comes into play. Without the willpower to learn what it takes to become a producer and complete all the steps involve guess what? You won’t be very successful. You must have the drive to see it through to the end. You can’t be easily deterred by every little bump in the road that comes along…and surely they will come.
