but im not immediately become rich and famous after doing ONE beat for jay-z
(see the Buchanans, Aqua)
Why do you even need to charge an advance. Jay-Z is basically guaranteed to recoup. I would try and negotiate for more points on the back end. I would want at least 5% but I would start with 7% and we can negotiate down.
Haha, Jay Z wants to buy beats from amature internet (basement) producers? Isnt that kinda emberrassing? Jay Z is one of the richest rappers, he has a huge connection and with all that he could propably get ANY producer in the world to record for him. But no, he chooses to purchase internet beats.
Music truely IS dead.
^ That's the gayest thing I've ever heard...
Please edit that to save yourself the embarrassment.
haha hell no! its a metaphor but the point remains! the exposure alone would be miles beyond anything you could do on your own, other artist wanting to work with you, it would be like a foot in the door, provided you were good and worked at it but the possibility that could come from something like that could be endless
Lol, that was funny but in a music industry that has a significant amount of homosexuals in decision-making positions you definitely would be wise to say what you mean and mean what you say...
