How you gonna ROFL with a hollow back?

nikkas was like “Its an honor to be on a big artist album you shouldn’t be trying to get paid.” Lmao
It’s fukking gross, everybody is a fukking bootlicker/starfukker now. All the pillars of hip hop are nearly eroded. Dj’s/Producers get no respect (I blame Dre, no producer has used more ghost producers without giving them public credit), Rappers use ghostwriters now, and it’s not even scoffed at, everybody sharks each other style, songs, etc..it wasn’t that long ago where you would get ostracized for that shyt smh

To be clear, you're defending beats not being credited and producers not being paid.

There are no sample clearances, it's an independent release on Griselda.
I’m not defending shyt although I do believe in paying your dues and think dude could have went about it different

What I’m asking is how a producer like him would be compensated in this lane of rap given it’s low commercial viability

Almost every tweet is unavailable so I guess this got squashed. Alvin and the chipmunks stay trying to screw over their producers, no wonder Dave left :heh:

The dude Ewonee responded to a tweet saying "Westside Gunn pays his producers well" by saying "where's my invoice" even tho he made that song with Estee Nack and WSG wasn't involved. So how did that turn in to Westside Gunn doesn't pay producers?

if your the executive producer on a project its part of your job to pay or to set the rates for the producers, Gunn and them was just taking advantage on homies excitement. I'm glad my boy never sent him anything.
