I've started to learn producing/making beats. I'm working with an artist closely affiliated with Interscope, hes a young singer from Cali. He's fairly well known, and I have 3 tracks on his next album. Anyway, we just did a bangin track that needs a guest rapper/feature on, so I've hit up a few artists and sent a snippet of the record to them to see if they would drop a verse on the track. The prices I got back are fucked up, these old ass rappers haven't been relevant for years but still try and charge weezy prices lol..bare in mind we got Twista for $1K, and a duet with Monica for $1000...DJ Quik - $10000MC Ren - $4000Xzibit - $15000Tash - $2000Rass Kass - $4000Ice Cube - $25000MC Eiht - $5000E40 - $8000Too Short - $15000Mack 10 - $15000G Malone - $2500Crooked I - $5000Yukmouth - $3000Tha Realest - $3000Big Syke - $3000Mista Fab - $15000Suga Free - $3500Goldie Loc - $1500Dresta - $1500Menace from bws - $400040 Glocc - $8000Kurupt - $4000Gail Gotti - $3000Spice 1 - $2500Knocturnal - $4000Kokane - $2000Kam - $5000Soopafly - $4000Defari - $1500Paris - $2500Swoop G - $2000There was a few more but basically I couldn't get anything for 1K.
Sorry that's a lol UCC if you think an artist should write and record a verse for 500 or 750. These guys are still recognized names in the rap scene. I can't see why double those amounts sound too much considering even the sales of an emerging indi artist thats gonna be marketable anyway.

And you also have to consider with the artist being up and coming. Sometimes it is negoiations that go into it as well. They want to see how serious the artist is in doing biz as well.
I know someone that got a Spice-1 verse for a G.
