Pay the fees once for arranging, musicians, studio time, etc.

And you're done.

No clearance fees, partial publishing, royalties — none of that.

I think hip hop is near sighted though. People look at 15 or 20 grand (paid one time, all at once) to create one song as a worse deal than paying $100,000+ for a popular sample over the course of several years through other fees.

I'm sure my figures are off. Would love someone who actually knows what they're talking about to clarify a little better.
