Kendrick Lamar charging $250k - $400k for a guest feature

[Uncle Phil 36]

For a few hours, Kendrick can forget about his next album. He’s back in Studio 2 working on a guest verse for Jay Rock’s upcoming album. According to Dave, a typical Kendrick guest verse costs $250,000. They once charged $400,000. He’s had some of his best moments on other people’s songs: trading bars with Eminem on “Love Game,” introducing an R&B flow on Robin Thicke’s “Give It 2 U,” stealing the show on A$AP Rocky’s star-studded “fukkin’ Problems”—a song originally made for GKMC but given away because it didn’t fit the narrative arc of the album.

Good for Kendrick I know damn well he ain't charging Jay Rock for a verse though. Those guest verse charges are usually for people the artist doesn't normally fukk with.

I refuse to believe that. No label is paying Kendrick fukkin Lamar damn near half a million dollars for a verse when they won't even shell out dough to clear samples. If he's charging that, what's Drake, Ye, or Hov charging? A mil for a 16? Nah.

I can't see J. Cole paying let alone having the Money to front Kendrick for a Hook.
