To add, it's rumored that it cost about $700k in payola money to get Thrift Shop to blow up the way it did. An artists would be much better taking that $250k-$400k and using it for payola than paying for a feature that expensive.
jay also said reasonable doubt was classicThis is nothing, Jay was charging 1.2 mil a verse during his retirement in the mid 2000s. He said so on the Black Album.


it'd be the other way aroundI wonder if he would charge Jay-Z 400K$ for a feat.
This was your favorite part?

be a fakkit and act like recitin that line to females wasnt slick...

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.
