Lil Wayne Caking Off Of Cameos

lil-wayne

Wayne charges $100,000 for the average cameo - or $75,000 if he likes the beat or the song. “But nothing less!” Wayne says. “I wouldn’t do a song for my sister for less than $75,000.”

Full Story

Damn is Lil Wayne worth that much? It didn’t help Mya out any, but was major for Playaz Circle.

So take the number he gave and divide it by 2 = 50k per song.

That the truth to hip hop formula. Every hip hopper talks a big game but you know 1/2 of it is bullshit.

Yo….That freestyle on Rap City was HOT!!…As far as the cameos go, Lil’Wayne got that name recognition where he can charge $75,000-$100,000. Timbaland charges $500,000 for beats…JUST THE FUCKING BEATS!!!

Its funny that he smokes weed and then watches the animal planet….cause I be watchin the discovery channel and shit like that too when im zooted.

He calls that cake compared to other moves that’s being made? Syrup money at best. And whatever idiot is paying him for his nursery school rhymes and old mcdonald had a farm voice deserves to be taken for a ride. This nigga is trash.

I’m not hating, but if you charged that much, I think he’d be in Forbes or some ish. And if he’s holding out, he better watch out for the IRS. They’ll catch em.

HOWEVER, we may be taking that comment out of context. He maybe, just may be JUST NOW starting to charge folks that price. We’ll see how many remixes he hops on now…

In six months, “What happened to Wayne?”

Tht much 4 a feature mayb 4 some new artist and some others not every1. Tht song with jay rock i doubt he changed tht cous he had to fly out then to charge tht? if jay rock did pay tht then boi i dunno. Playerz circle might have payed tht tho he did make tha song lol

The 100k is probably the front end money, he dont get paid until the back end. Remember doing a feature is similar to releasing an album. Lawyers, accounts, labels ect gotta get paid still. I dont think he seeing 100 off the top but of course he aint gonna say that.

Cosignin Young Trump and Pounce. I dont think he seeing all the money from them features and the money that he do see is probably blown on Syrup and coke…. Or in Baby’s bank account

Fuck that, I wouldn’t pay that much for a Jay-Z feature. Anyway if Wayne does get that much paper then we should see him at least in the top 5 of the Forbes list when it comes out. It will be interesting to see who will take the #1 spot for 08.

15.

^^^^^ u mean how interesting it’s gonna b to c how much Jay makes compared to these niggaz???? cause thaz all tha #1 spot consists of.

LOL,$100,000?MORE LIKE $25,000-35,000 AT MOST,GTFO HERE WITH THAT $100,000 FOOLISHNESS,ONLY 3 RAPPERS I KNOW CHARGE THAT MUCH AND MORE:JAY-Z,50 CENT,EMIN3M.PERIOD.

ASK YOURSELF WHY THESE GUYS ^ AREN’T FEATURED ON EVERY OTHER SONG OUT THERE(A-N-D ARE ONLY FEATURED BY RAPPERS/PRODUCERS WHO MAKE SERIOUS PAPER),THEN YOU’LL REALIZE WHY WAYNE IS BULLSHITTING.

AND TIMBO CHARGES= $200,000-350,000 AT MOST,NOT $500,000.THE REASON WHY HE MAKES SO MUCH IS DUE TO HAVING A HIGH ROYALTY PERCENT(NOTHING LESS THAN 10%),GET UR FACTS UP SNITCHESSSS

What about the Little Brother track. Theres no way LB payed that money. Especially for a brutal verse….

Word up, I say I don’t have nothin If I don’t have you
Like Sade, you got the +Sweetest Taboo+
And my game is skin deep like the first tattoo
I gets all in your head just like shampoo
I just wanna fuck with you like rude polices
I don’t want a broken heart because I lose the pieces
Hey! Girl don’t play with my gangsta
And have the boy blue like the Texas Ranger
And I know cheaters never get crowned
So I play fair like roller coasters and clowns
Yeah! You gotta hold your soldier down
Even when the war is lookin like, it is right around the corner
And you don’t wanna leave me believe me
Cause I can turn you on like, a personal TV
It’s Young Weezy, I know what you thought
But I’m just here to play my part so, don’t go breakin my heart

SmokinAces wrote on April 17th, 2008 at 10:01 pm

This actually is not too far fetched. Busta and Luda both were/maybe still are charging about 100 for a feature. Matter of fact I remember Joe Budden making a comment about the label spending 100 for the Fire joint. Having these guys on a record definately ups the profile of the song so it ends up being money well spent. Ask Lloyd!

excuse me but i dont think lloyd or mario or playaz circle or some of the other b or c-class artist have that kinda cake to pay for his feature.
didnt he do a ridiculous number of features in 07, that woulda put him in the top 5 earners in hiphop wit those prices and i dont remember him being on that list. hell young joc was on that list but not wayne
just like all things hiphop, everything that glitters aint gold. not a wayne hater, just not drinking the koolaid or should i say syrup

You forgettin he didnt get into high demand till toward end of ‘07. When he did that shit with Lloyd and Fat Joe ppl wasnt rlly checkin for him like that. 77 songs werent all features btw. they were 90% mixtape tracks

Flydude. wrote on April 18th, 2008 at 9:22 am

You guys are stupid man. he gets like 100K and maybe like 25-50K goes to the recordlabel. and CIII is gonna sell and do you know why? ok lil wayne haters listen good.
if you look at lil wayne reviews etc at rtny. don’t you always see like 40-50+ comments? sometimes even 100+?
even the haters will cop CIII
and a Ft. from wayne is cool because people will listen to it regardless if his verse is wack\hot.
’nuff said.

ocram wrote on April 18th, 2008 at 3:49 pm

I can believe it, as of right now. He’s built up a string of hits & so goes his demand. I’m a show promoter and I know for a fact that Wayne charges 50k for a 1 hr performance. I bet at those prices, his features slow down alot. With the way of the record industry’s current state, it’s hard to recoupe. Alot of artists will have to go back to the basics.
