Fuck.... let me get that producer money...I'd do the entire project for half of that and just go for back end money.

another way to justify rapin the artist thats using the song on the label... sigh...

Yeah..but some of those directors are the ones that are paid the big money to direct these videos....

WTF? Over a million dollars for 1 song? See it's completely misleading and it's like you said, it's not necessarily the price to DO the music or the video or whatever, it's paying the person to do it. $20,000 for a beat is a lot, but you're paying for the name of the producer of course.

In comparison to what? 9th and Primo consistently get around 25k a track. You know Swizz and Timbo get more.

I don't see Premier getting that much per track, these days....there's a lot of underground cats who can't afford that much for a beat and you see Primo all over it.

Preemo might not get that much (25k), but he stays busy.. lets say 5k a trk.. so he's gotta get 5 artists... not bad at all.. he churns those beats out like white castle hamburgers!

To me it's like anything else...you find your niche, perfect it until it doesnt matter who's spitting on it ...all that matters is that it's going to be a hit, then make'em pay top dollar for your work. Just ride that until the wheels fall off.

That sounds right. Albeit it's the old industry way of doing things, which is why the record companies are bleeding money. It's also one of the problems with music today.

Remember what I told you about writing pools? They call it a "camp" here.

I admit, those numbers are steep! Even for the artists that are doing it big!

People are going to be going the DIY route more soon. Dope post!
