Article 06/13/08 - Lil Wayne:Wayne’s Wages(collaborators weigh in)

Black Superman · 06-13-2008, 11:27 AM

Lil Wayne doesn’t come cheap. To let him tell it, the self-proclaimed “best rapper alive,” who has collaborated with artists ranging from Enrique Iglesias to more subterranean acts like Little Brother, commands between $100,000 to $75, 000 for a guest verse.

The cheaper rate (75k) goes when Wayne likes the song or beat, and apparently, exceptions are hardly made. “I wouldn’t do a song for my sister for less than $75,000,” Wayne told Rolling Stone Magazine.

Sure, major labels are likely to fork up to 100k for a Wayne verse or hook, but what about indies with little to no budget? Though signed to a major imprint, Akon’s Kon Live/Interscope, Kardinal Offishall was fortunate enough to get the five-finger discount. “At the time, he had did it for free,” Kardi told XXLMag.com regarding Weezy’s verse on “My Swag,” which also featured the Clipse’s Pusha-T. “We didn’t even pay him. Mind you, it was a minute a go. I don’t wanna bust Wayne’s buble like that, but, big up to Wayne for sure.”

While Bun B, who featured Weezy on “Damn I’m Cold” off his recently released LP, II Trill, wouldn’t talk prices, he salutes Wayne for getting his money. “Go Wayne,” Bun cheered. “I wish I got 75, 100 a cameo.”

Wayne’s sister may have to save up for a verse, but Ludacris doesn’t necessarily have to. In addition to working on songs on one another’s projects, Wayne has also worked with Luda signees Playaz Circle.

“I can say that I’m on his album and he’s on mine,” Luda offered. “But as far as the business is worked out, no disrespect, but I rather keep that private. It’s his business, so he can tell it. But as far as I handle mine, shoot, it was just a mutual respect thing. So read between the lines.” –Carl Chery

Game gets 50 000 a verse, and he has been featured on alota songs, In Bone thugs forum, Krayzie bone said that Game made Jimmy Iovine an ultimatum to pay him 125 000 for Bone thugs Streets verse becoz THey kept calling him...Krayzie bone said that Game came thru and laced the verse but he went at Jimmy becoz Jimmy Put him off the Math on Geffen and shit and yet wanted Game to be on Bone thugs...Krayzie said Game meant no dissrespect to Bone, but It was Jimmy thing becoz Bone are on Scope now..

There is only Twista and Game on Bone thugs Loyality CD...CD is sick..Game killed it anyway.FUck Jimmy Thoou..

Look at Jimmy Now, He aint Doing shit for G unit, G unit has 0Radio play, they should be pushed back and he aint doing it, he doing it for Game, Thats cold...

G unit should be pushed back for Good, but 50 dissed Jimmy and now they will flop...They could Drop some Timbo POP tracks and Blow up, but Bad Timing and Wack singles is Gonna Kill G unit..

If lil wayne was as rich as he wanted people to believe then where he at on these list mentioning hip hops top money makers? Didn't Chamillionaire and Young Joc make it on the list over wayne? lol

Anyway, he may be able to get that for doing a verse, but seriously how many people does this dude charge? Seems like with a lot of his features he makes deals instead of charging (like appearing on each others albums or Wayne doing a verse in exchange for a beat).
