People think making songs are like making a cake. Just buy a verse add water and you got something cool. Wrong. Great songs arent made by buying someones verse and slapping it onto your song. Mediocre songs are made that way. Songs that last the test of time for generations are made by writing something unique to that particular song, not by adding some dime a dozen slap it in bought verse.
Buying and selling "verses" is wack

Well, it seems difficult enough to make quality music with out a feature, but even if you can make quality music without a feature and you are a new comer no one wants to here your music. The purpose of buying a verse is to have someones name on your product that other people will recognize and maybe sway them to buy it, not to make a classic song.
DONT FUCK WIT SOMEBODY JUST THEY GOT A FAN BASE,FUCK WIT SOMEBODY CAUSE YOU THINK YALL CAN REALLY MAKE SOMETHIN TIGHT TOGETHER!!!!!!!! MOST OF THE TIME THE FEATURES ON MOST OF THESE FOOLS CD BE SOUNDIN LAZY .WHY,CAUSE THE NOBODY RAPPER PAID FOR A NAME ,NOT A GOOD VERSE. I SAY IF THE ARTIST IS TALKIN ABOUT MONEY, AND CHARGIN A ARM AND A LEG TO GET ON YOUR SHIT,YOUR WACK. IF HE OR SHE REALLY FEELS YOUR SHIT AND YOU JUST WANT HIM OR HER TO BE PART OF IT,THE VERSE SHOULD COST LIL OR NOTHIN.NOMATTER WHAT THERE NAME IS.....IF YOUR SHIT IS THAT TIGHT,YOU COULD BUILD THEM A NEW FAN BASE!!!!!!!

^^^^^ i have to agree altho i really think a new artist being featured on a more established artist album is gunna bring more sale to the new artist as opposed to a new artist goin to pay half his budget on gettin sum real known bay cats u know..everybodys doin it now, so wat sets your cd with quinn, keak, spice 1 and cellski apart from everyother nigga who had 3 g's to pay them too? ill tell you...

TAY,YOU ONE OF THEM RAPPERS THAT WILL EAT UP A VERSE EVERYTIME YOU SPIT!!!!! I HAVEN HEAD NOTHIN WEAK FROM YOU YET(YOU ONE OF THE FEW). BUT WHEN A UP AND COMMIN RAPPER LOOKS UP TO THAT ALREADY THERE RAPPER,I DONT MATTER HOW IT SOUNDS TO THE UP AND COMMER. HE IS GUNNA BE HAPPY WIT ANYTHING THE RAPPER GIVES HIM. I HEARD ALOT OF BIG NAME FEATURES ON THESE UNDERGROUND RAPPERS AND DAAAAMN, SOMETIMES THE BIG NAMES BE STRAIGHT BULLSHITTIN ON THESE FOOLS TRACKS!!!!! I GUESS THEY DONT WANT TO BLOW THE LIL NAME OUT THE WATER.
This here is a business...you gotta spend money to make money, whether it's on beats, verses, mixing, mastering, promotions, marketing...whatever. Cats charge for verses 'cause it is their job. An electrician charges you to come fix your shit, a plumber charges you to come fix your shitter, and rappers charge to come work on your project. Too many cats out here want to make names for themselves without breaking any bread...it doesn't work like that. If somebody is out to get paid, they need to pay cats who are doing the same as them...cause they are just like you, trying to get breaded doing this rap shit!!
I didn't buy verses for my album 'cause I'm determined to make it on my own, with my own words. But I broke a shitload of bread to record and press!!
Don't get me wrong though, if you are gonna break bread to a rapper, don't buy none of this pre-recorded bullshit...have the cat COME DO THE WORK when you do it...
