You gotta keep in mind they throw out high-ball numbers to see if you'll bite at that price, but in reality most of them would do a verse for way less than half of what they are originally asking if you approach them right. If you explain to them that you're a big fan, and it would be an honor to have them on your album but you are only working with X amount of money, most of them of will go pretty damn low when it comes down it. I've seen it first hand with 3 people on your list in fact. It's all about your approach. And if your music is good in the first place, that will make a big difference. You could also try and see if they'll cut you a deal if you let them use one of your beats or if they like your homie have him sing some hooks for free for them. You can't just look at that # and think "fuck, i don't have that much money." You gotta be creative.

But did you tell them your budget was around $1k? If so, they probably got offended that you would even think anyone from Snoop's roster would do something for $1k.You might arrange discounted verses with the two Interscope artists your singer did hooks for. Or did you charge full price to those artists? What I'm saying is, have your singer do hooks for free with those Interscope artists in exchange for a reduced rate for what those artists will charge you for a verse. You might be able to get them to come down to $1k through good negotiations. Also, have your artist build up a little buzz on his own -- leak some stuff to the 'Net and get a good reaction, which will make (potentially) some rappers a little more willing to lay down a verse for him.
Majority of those are over blown. lol That's just sad. Oh well I heard Dre Charges 250,000 for production of just 1 track. So who the hell knows lol. No wonder Game couldn't get Dre to do it, he'd lose all his money.
LMFAO @ 40 COCK charging 8000$ for one of his wack ass verses
