You can own the master recording to a song but not own the copyright to the music or lyrics. Owning the rights to the master recording doesn't mean you can release it and not have to pay the copyright holders. That's why there is a fee pay to the master recording owner and a separate payout for the copyright owners (producer/rapper) when dealing with song placements in movies, tv etc. As long as he has the copyright he's supposed to get paid something. If a split sheet was done back then or not to say who should get what, that doesn't change the fact that he has ownership in the song and rights to get paid.
I disagree that whoever pays for the studio time owns the master. I have heard that before though. That is something that would have to be put in writing and the artist would have to sign off on. Not something that is just common law if you will.
