What artist in 2014, outside of Jay-Z doing a Samsung deal, has a budget to support $250,000 on producing the entire album let a lone one song?That's one reason that you don't hear Timbaland that often, and not usually with new artists unless their his artists. Why do you think he only reallyappears for Beyonce, Jay, & JR?Who else is selling enough units to mathematically justify paying that much money on one song, to a producer who's just now making "hit" songs again?I give Mustard his props, as a super producer in 2014, what it means in this era. The industry climate isn't the same as it was when Tim did Are You ThatSomebody so you can't really judge the business the same. This is Mustard's year, he has his DJ sets, Roc Nation deal as an artist, Timbo himself was onhis mixtape co-signging, their both signed to Roc Nation, he broke YG like I said, he gives brand new artists hits, Iggy Azalea is #1 with an imitation of his sound, ...not that you should judge "hip-hop" by the pop charts
