:gladbron: The right bridge can be incrementally more valuable than a hook, more of an intricate process if you ask me

yep after the hot sausage alone I can come up with it. I seem to have the best thought process while spending time building a bridge of sh1t into the toilet water.

those can't be real prices

yes they can.

People would believe if they got a beat from Soulja Boy or a verse, that they are big timing.

It's well worth it for Soulja Boy, but probablyl not so much for the person

I always got the idea that, if they fukked with you, it was a you scratch my back and ill scratch yours. Maybe now, more than ever, since everbody is all friendly and shyt.

I would think now a days, a rapper would only charge you standard price for a verse if he couldnt use a verse from you cuz you arent popping.

I suppose it depends on who you are. I doubt Wayne, Drake and Nikki are charging each other for verses.

I wonder how Khaled be gettin them verses, probably favors as well but what favor does Khaled offer nikkas?

Its probably based on how cool you are with the person. Wayne at his peak was probably getting 30 to 40 k a verse. But he probaby doesnt charge say the Game or Rick Ross the same (or anything) as he would charge a Madonna or an Enrique Inglesias type. And he probably doesnt charge people like Drake Tyga and Nicki anything at all. Just proly a verse for a verse thing with him and Drake.

I think it goes..30 for the kiss 100 for the lox
And if you're friendly with him he'll write the hook for a drop top convertible

Depends on the rapper fam. Rumor has it that HOV charges $500,000k a verse

I dont think Jay has a price, he just does it if he fukks with the artist. Although I doubt he'd turn down 500k for a verse. I doubt JT paid 500 for that Suit and Tie verse.

Biggie said 5k,and fukk the paperwork. That was in the 90's.

I always wondered how much Busta charge. I imagine he did some for free jsst to hop on a remix. I imagine Busta initiated some of them remixes..
