WHEN PEOPLE START ASKIN YOU HOW MUCH YOU WANT 4 A VERSE!!!
Makes tha most sense to me. Get ya two's and few's whenever possible but when tha demand for your business starts to increase to a noticeable point, thats when you'll know for sure you deserve a full meal instead of some cookies and shit. Im sure you'll know when tha time is right to start hittin cats wit them big numbers.

When you reach a point in your career when you begin to get approached to recieve compensation for a verse, you've reached a certain respect level to the point where someone feels your verse or beat can help that person's recognition of their project.

when ever u get tired of rappin on other cats shit for free. and most cats who wont pay for a verse from an artist that they are interested in, wont end up droppin a project.
myself, i just got tired of doing verses for cats that shit never came out.,. it was waisted effort. first time i got payd it was only $100. i been payed upto $300 a couple times and all in between.



im just too lazy to do sumthin if theyre aint money involved. unless its my foolks i fuk wit on a personal level.

or if i think the project will be beneficial to my carreer.

I don't know how anybody can be charging for verses when they are unknown!!!

If your not making money with your own click, and you have even have studio equipment. You have no room to charge.

If you never put out a project, and never paid to get a song mixed and mastered properly, and actually paid for a beat!!

Then how can you act like your serious?

I find it funny that rappers think they verses are worth something. I don't care how much you "THINK" your gassing. Nobody going to pay you if your unknown.

Nowadays you can't just be a "RAPPER" you have to have slashes in there. Rapper / etc etc. Because there are alot of rappers, you are replaceable, you have to provide a service that other people can't get.
