little known producers could get $250-$500 off beats. Now, it's producers with songs on radio who can't even sell shit for that much.

I joke around that the girl who made "Teach me how to Dougie" got paid with a $25 Forever 21 gift card....but truth is, that song made millions, and she didn't even see a thousand up front...and only a few thousand on the "back end" which is what EVERY artist promises to producers. "When we get on?" "When this song hits radio?" "When we get our budget from the company?" = "YOU'LL GET PAID!"

And a lot of unestablished producers who are smart businessmen, as I halfway was, won't even get a placement when it's like "Naw...I need THIS up front, THIS percentage promised if it gets royalties" and all that.
