Question on Production

[Pistolpoppin]

Sounds bout rite, i remember hearing em sayn it cost bout a mil for a beat from dre, think was on a dis song 2 benzno. it aint cheap, thats 4sure.

[Blind]

Do ya'll think Em paid Doc. Dre for beats from the very outset, when he was broke?? Or what?

[SajN]

I heard in an interview with obie. That Dre is expensive but eminem gives free beats and he even did so for jay-z and nas.

I don tknow if he did free for Nas but I think its true that he did free for Jay-Z.. because in a freestyle Eminem does, he says that he made beat for Jay-z for free...

I know nothing about it, so I could easily be wrong (someone correct me if I am) But it was probly taken out of the record sales, thats just my assumption though, makes sence to me

yeah, what Maybe said is right...

and I heard Em always do beats for free, but he only gives beats to people he likes/respect... but he mostly produces for people in his label, and when those people sell, Em gets a lot of money lol

btw Tash, in case you wanna know, in "Give It To Me" Timbaland says "I get a half a mill for my beats" lmao... don'T know if it's true, but if it is, that's crazy, isn'T it

it is crazy but i know scott storch makes way more than timbo. think. if timbo is making a million off of beats that are really loops add with voices (if you dont believe me listen to put you on the game and come and get me) then scott storch could make maybe 1.5 million. still crazy though.

in the song, Timbo says "I get a half a mill for my beats, you get a couple grands" (he's talking to Storch)... obviously, that's a diss to storch, so it's not exact facts lol, but I do think Timbo gets more than Storch, cause his name sells more... this doesn't mean Timbo is like the best producer ever, it's just that his name sells, so he gets more money... to me his one of the best with the drum patterns, but other than that, he's just alright.... I mean, no beat is worth half a mill anyways lol

i really think that's stupid if you have to pay for your own labelmates, cuz then your obivously doing it just for the money

glad to know that dre and eminem give beats for free
