I think working with Dre you pretty much should just do shit for free.  Like favor for a favor.  That's how him and Snoop work and I've heard that confirmed in interviews.  This is pretty much the way Dre likes to work.  I'm sure it's likely the same way with Xzibit and many others.  You bless Dre and Dre will bless you back.

Don't even talk dollars with Dre... do it for free

I remember Dre saying Mary J Blige produced "The Message" on "2001"
without any $$$ & he kinda thanked her. Dunno why he said she Produced it though. Source: MTV Days. When MTV was still MTV.

X never took a penny for any features he had with Dre. Or the writing. He wrote almost whole ETA and he left the studio without asking for shit.

You can tell Raekwon has a fat head. He needs to deflate that ego. Yeah sure you have one undeniable classic solo album but the rest of your discography is mediocre at best

Man vs Machine charted top 5, sold over 100,000 in the first week and went gold at least maybe even platinum.. I’m guessing though that Xzibit didn’t make a lot of points/percentage on his albums... probably makes money touring, been in movies, pimp my ride, then some record sales and other business ventures but his house on cribs was modest
