don't believe all that 100k a feature hype. These nikkas are recycling the same verses over and over basically. It doesn't take them but 20min at most to knock out a verse, who you know gonna turn down 1500 for 20min of work?

They just throw those insane numbers out there as a bargaining chip or by chance someone actually takes them up on their offer. If you do 10 verses a month for 1500, that's $15k in one month...over 150k in a year. Most of these verses we won't ever hear

those 100k features were for chart toppers... like try and call nicki minaj right now for a track that you will officially release on an album, and make money off... you gonna get that price.. give or take 30k

but if you calling up 2 chainz, for a track on a mixtape, then it's much much cheaper...

see if you put it out for sale, lawyers get involved, paperwork must be signed, label has to approve, IRS knows about it, blah blah blah... then you making money, cause a nicki minaj single is gonna sell on itunes, then they want IN. you make 79 cents off an itunes single... you sell 100k, you damn near made that back, and that's not counting other places you sell it, the exposure you get, and the fame you get for having the track

mixtapes is just throw it out there.. you didn't make shyt.. and they'll take a quick 7k under the table, and away from the IRS.. and do that

artists make about 79 cents off an itunes ALBUM i think they get about 8 or 9 cents on a single, some a probably lucky to get that with 360 deals & all the other shady shyt in the industry.

i'm speaking from the thread starters point....

if HE'S the one trying to get a famous person, i'm assuming he has no deal or label... and APPLE gives you that much off your single and 7.99 off your album

tunecore.com homie... you can get your album EVERYWHERE with 49.99

now label wise, the label will take a bigger cut... but that's why the artist will charge more if it's an official release... and even more if it's an official release on another label

mixtape - $
unsigned album - $$
signed album - $$$
