That may seem like a lot of money to you but Common has the kind of respect that commands that kind of dough. Not any kid pressing up maximum of 500 records for his "Fat Beats" single can ask for $5000 to be on a record. Even with all that said record sales are still important because they can up the stakes. Do you have a clue how much they pay someone like Sting to breath on mics. Even some top notch studio engineers make more than that in one session. That's why its important that Common goes Platinum.He deserves more. Record sales improve market value.
