I'm not an expert by any means but I think that nowadays we as producers just get upfront money and let them do their thing. That's why if you are smart, you don't just sell any artist any exclusive beat for any price. I heard you should charge 10% of what they get per show or something like that. So Nicki Minaj gets like $300,000 per show I heard last year so if she wanted exclusive rights to one of my beats I'd prolly charge her around $30,000
