I'm not tryin' to salt up anybody's hustle, but being that we are underground... for any amount of cash for a feature, I need to have that artist come through my studio in the physical form. Or I go to where they're at to make sure I see what I'm paying for. And it's very clear I'm going to spend more going to, or bringing that artist, but at least I see where my money is going. This eliminates all the question asking you see in this thread.
I understand that verses are sent all day via email's in the majors and verses go for 10 racks amongst the majors, but it's easy to hustle any underground artist thinking he / she's gonna blow up off a name.
I believe a name won't blow up an artist (maybe in the past that's how it worked), but the game is changing rapidly. Me personally, I'd take that cash and put it in marketing my project.
Just my 2.
