[DontEemTry]

So he always been an a$$hole. Dude's "ordinary guy" routine when he came out was just an act

Kanye produced like half of Gravs album so he might've been paid 8k for a whole beat CD..

Imagine how different Kanyes career might be if he kept the name Deep House.

49. His mom said he made kids in China give him sheep skewers in exchange for watching him breakdance.

I really hope this isnt true, this sounds like some c00n shyt.

$8,800 for a beat as an unsigned producer is NOT out of the realm of possibility & I believe someone paid him that because I've personally seen cats dump off tracks for $2,500-$10,000 to rappers who have that "money" money if you catch my drift.

Kanye was pretty popular in Chicago & probably had a good manager pitch the track to the dude Gravity because a lot of times if you have some kind of momentum in your city or sell your shyt right you can get a nice dollar for your work...

I know a cat who pitched his idea for a video... got someone to invest $40,000 in the video... so he spent $5,000 on the actual video & pocketed $35,000. To this day dude has no idea he pocketed that much money... you just gotta know how to talk & Kanye was probably on some "get me now while I'm cheap" & "I got some connects in the industry shopping this beat to so & so" & made dude jump on it... I see it all the time...

No ID and Kanye produced his whole album, so I doubt he got 8k for one beat.
Which would mean that if he was paid the same amount for all those beats he got like 60k for Gravs album. No ID set up the whole thing.

On second thought, I don't recall if Grav was signed to a major..

I agree with you... $8,800 for the whole project is probably what he means instead of one beat but selling a beat for that much isn't out of the norm especially if he had someone with the kind of leverage No ID had... ESPECIALLY in Chicago. People don't understand how powerful the "pitch" can be if used effectively...

I think Rashard Lewis is living proof of what the right pitch can do for you...

Not gonna lie... I haven't seen a bad post from you...

I see what you're saying though, when I thought about it all types of "unexplainable" shyt has gone down in the business. From bum ass State Property dudes having million dollar budgets/advances to Papoose and Kreayshawn stealing 7 figures from cats..

It is indeed a wild game...

47. He sold his first beat to local Chicago rapper Gravity for $8,800.
7. He made his first beat in seventh grade.

Hopefully I am just reading this wrong and whoever wrote this list is saying that the first beat he ever sold, was sold for $8800, and not that he sold the first beat he made for $8800
