Neslom;2277045 said:Stuff like royalties you can't be paid beforehand
midwest_messiah;2276981 said:Hell yeah. Shit, I'd still try to work with them niggas too.
The benefits out weigh the obvious risk. Especially if it's a placement for a single.

shenco;2277078 said:Hell nah, all that drama and court shit is unnecessary. At some point it's like " Ok, fuck these niggas. I don't wanna keep going through this stuff every time I give y'all a beat"

Now that nigga all over the place getting work. According to him, he didn't get paid right either. But having his name being tied to "A millie" opened up ALOT of new opportunities for him. And since he produced "6 foot 7 foot", obviously shit must have gotten resolved.
