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!
you basically followed the formula to droppin a compilation that cats were using in 1999...the whole "free promo" approach doesnt work anymore, at least not for the long run...
but nowadays even artists that are used to getting paid...arent getting paid, and its just boiling back down to some "for the love of music" type shit..
the cats you mentioned are still getting paid, but they are also some stand up folks as well and are willing to help the next man out....
plus, ive heard your shit (at least i think) and you and ya boy got talent..remind me of shadow and los from the old eccr days with the way you spit
You promised them 1 copy for their work? god damn at least i was offering 20,50,100 or something...put a lil money in a muthafuckas pocket at least...im just sayin..
