Shit...If I were to pay 10 racks to an artist..he better gas his verse ...

but yeah...If you want premium gas...you pay it...that's how I see it..

E-40 is premium gas......
we felt like 10 racks was love......
if it was some industry shit he mos def wouldve charged more...

I didnt pay anything for any of the verses on my Compilation, its 27 rappers on there, I have Mars, ADR LaVey, Redrum, Cali Sick Record homies, Big Oso, and hella others. I think it just depends on how close of a connection you have with them and also how much of a guarantee that that record will sell. I just promised them a copy of the album when it came out. Much love to everybody that got on it!

MY POINT IS....

SOME PEOPLE ARE REALLY BOUT BUSINESS AND SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST LOOKIN 4 A HANDOUT. I WORKED WITH BLOCCLIFE ALSO AND EVERYTHING WAS 100. THEY SPECIFICALLY PAID ME WHAT I WANTED AND NOT WHAT "THEY" FELT I WAS WORTH. ARTISTS RESPECT THAT. I'VE HAD OFFERS IN THE HUNDREDS AND I USUALLY DECLINE CUZ IT WONT HELP ME WITH MY BILLS. IF U WANT QUALITY...IT COSTS. ON THE 31ST OF THE MONTH I MIGHT DO SOMETHING 4 THE LOW BUT IT PROBABLY WONT BE MY BEST WORK. RESPECT THE GAME....SO THE GAME CAN RESPECT U.GG

So your saying if they ain't paying you what you want you ain't given it your best? Of course an artist is gonna "respect" getting what they asking for. haha. that's funny.

MOST PEOPLE THAT SPEND HUNDREDS ON ARTISTS AND HUNDREDS ON PROJECTS,SELL THE SAME AMOUNT OF RECORDS.....HUNDREDS. IF ITS A NUMBERS GAME..I THINK BIG SO I CAN GET BIG. NOBODY LIKES PUTTIN IN REAL WORK 4 FREE.
