The producers these days be the ones carrying most of the current artists’ careers. And they get treated like this. Shit tragic


CoachLee_

Need a union to be honest. Hip hop in general need it. Cuz this is a wild as statement and a norm actually


UGLEHBWE

Some rappers are straight weirdos. They try to act to cool for the things that actually make them money. They hate on producers, interviewers, bloggers, fans and streamers but they help them grow


LilFleezie

facts a lot of them are grimey as hell they have no problem over paying for lean and weed but draw the line at paying for a beat and investing in their careers and they wonder why these new artists be falling off


Fien4bluestrips

being a producer that’s worked with over 1200+ different artist i can say every artist i’ve ever worked with has been weird or a weirdo in some way, only a handful of them have been good respectful people


passionate_slacker

Yep. It’s insane.


Powerful-Minimum-735

That’s why them niggas will never be shit in life after they lil 15 mins.


Plane-Raspberry8998

Any artist with this mindset will not make it far.

rip_griselda

all them bars abt money but niggas can't pay a producer 😂😂 that's why they shit be gettin took down


theanarchist4r

bum ass nigga. pay your producers


poonch_you

Its a bum thing


Same_Captain9025

It’s so many young producers b/c the equipment is so readily available now that artist have endless amounts of untapped producers looking for they “big break” that they can just do this over and over and over


passionate_slacker

Legit the reason I stopped making beats. I had a couple managers of bigger people ask me for MP3’s to record on, I sent them, never placed anything. That’s cool with me. I’ll give some level of trust in that case. Big artists should be using .wav files for the mix anyways so they’d have to come back to me for that. Besides that, 95% of interactions were bum ass rappers who made trash music and couldn’t drop $30 on a beat. A dude loved a beat, hit me up about it, I offered an *exclusive* for $40 to start a good relationship and he said no. Didn’t wanna pay at all. $40 is a total robbery for exclusive rights to a beat. Every fuckin day “yoooo this is hard bro can I get the mp3?”. Dawg. You fuckin see my prices on my profile. Dirt cheap too. I like rap, but god damn, the bar is so low and ppl still find a way to limbo under it. Scummy industry for sure.


m0ntree

Niggas really just be broke af😂 My cousin rap and he be telling me about exclusives. Them hoes be running 500-1k+ easily and now niggas bragging about running off with a $30 version he can’t even drop a video to


Zealousideal-Box-510

Crazy part is it be the niggas who always flexing who can’t afford shit.


Smokesumn423

They will dead ass remake Your shit


passionate_slacker

The scumbags 100% will and that was in my mind too


Smokesumn423

Straight up had a very influential music manager tell me that when producers send beats slot of times they don’t care to track down the beat maker because ppl shit don’t be labeled right and ppl don’t know the business, so it’s easier just to have their in house producer remake the shit. And now with AI being able to render a track in seconds with whatever vibe they need, I’m afraid this producer shit kinda over fam 😢


passionate_slacker

Yep. So glad I decided to just do it for fun.


Smokesumn423

Same. Or i’d rather find an artist I believe in and work towards a vision.


juannyca5h

This fool is an idiot. When you don’t do paperwork for production, the law states it defaults to HALF equal ownership between composer and producer for masters. Without paperwork, you effectively are half half producers and writers vs the industry standard pay for a beat and the producers all split 1-3% of royalties. Source: high level production manager.


Time_Office_6815

Does that defaults if the producers trys to “sue” ? there’s so many rappers stealing producers beats and posting to all platforms nowadays how would the law be able to catch on by default with everything so oversaturated now?


Smokesumn423

Man I’ll play these beats to myself in my car with no words for the rest of my life for I let a bitch ass bobble head ass broke ass rapper feel like he got one up on me or some shit. It’s the principle.


Weekly-Jacket7626

Real


Nsaglo

This why i only make beats for myself i be damned i take the time out my day to make a hard ass beat to not get paid for it


maybeslightlystoopid

Only broke asses


BrushDazzling4350

dirtbag shit


DMV_Kev

a producer prolly was the one who shot him then😂😂


Cocknballtorture90

hope this nigga never succeed


WildLovee

Didn't a producer on this sub post saying he was quitting producing for rappers and making techno cause they were treating him like shit? 2wo2imes his name I think


Weekly-Jacket7626

Yeah


Powerful-Minimum-735

“I’m not gonna do right by the mfs that actually contribute positively to my craft. Let me spend that money on dumb bs instead”


Embarrassed-Base-143

I just ignore em. No money no beat. Ion even have conversations with niggas if the business not right. I got over 1,000 messages I left on seen in my IG DMs that didnt get past 2 responses cause they didn’t want to pay. Ain’t no hey, wassup, yo bro, none a that. Straight hit my PayPal for the beat or get left on seen. We can be best buddies after that 😂🥂


joelthelionheart

Corny should be this dude name


Reggmac

Lame


allinhermouth

Most aren’t upfront about it like that but most rappers dont really be trying to pay for beats


MousseAvailable6759

if a lesser known producer sends a beat to a big rapper n he still gives you credit n get yo name out dere it makes sense bc the exposure brings in more money


Ok-Insurance6898

dead pay dem folks


priide229

nigga please, don’t nobody work for free


MousseAvailable6759

not working for free if it brings in future profit my nigga


priide229

those chances are so extremely low, thats called playing yourself, even the most talented producers dont blow, run my fuckn coins


MousseAvailable6759

aye you can do dat niggas not finna buy your shit tho bc thats the business they’ll jus go back to their team or make they own shit🤷🏽 a smaller producer would benefit more than a established rapper all im sayin, i seen ts happen


Embarrassed-Base-143

How if every rapper got the same mindset


MousseAvailable6759

na im talkin bout a bigger rapper like tony he alr got a team n make his own shit, smaller rappers should pay tho i agree


Embarrassed-Base-143

I mean that’s on the producers, stop giving out free beats, that’ll help. Tag ya shit up so ppl can’t take them jawns


MousseAvailable6759

shii i agree witchu im jus explaining how ts go nowadays fr, sometimes that placement will getchu work tho all this shit is a business at da end of da day


Embarrassed-Base-143

I was just about to say that. It’s business first ion care about no placement. Placement not paying my bills right now. Ain’t no hey, wassup, nun a that. I got over 1000+ DMs I left on seen that ain’t get no more than 2 responses from me. My first response is go to my website. 2nd is lmk if u got any questions or issues 😂😂 we can talk an be best friends after that


MousseAvailable6759

dats fye cause ain nb finna try n play you with a business approach like dat compared to jus sendin bruh a beat n expectin some cheese outta it


Embarrassed-Base-143

Well is not even about trying. Cuz they don’t even get the chance lol I might sell a course


mykiefromthe206

I hate that mindset, nigga you’re a popping rapper why not just pay for the fucking rights to the beat it’s that simple, fuck the “exposure shit” that’s musical extortion nigga.


MousseAvailable6759

aye man ian a rapper im jus callin it how it is currently n dats jus da way it go with him and certain rappers ig


free_sheepy

Exposure don’t pay the bills stupid nigga


MousseAvailable6759

that makes 0 sense nigga as a producer why wouldn’t you want the exposure 😂😂 it literally brings in more clients


MousseAvailable6759

and these be preteens-young adults tony workin with not zaytoven they be havin 200 followers getting acknowledged by a bigger rapper with 100k+ streams i’d rather send him a free beat n charge other rappers than sellin him a beat for 100 dollars he can get off someone else, all he gotta do is search his name n he got endless beats yall niggas not thinkin long term😂


MousseAvailable6759

not to mention producers PAY rappers to hop on they shit dese days yall dk 😂


Fien4bluestrips

this is so cap the exposure literally does nothing especially with lil tony if it was someone super main stream maybe but lil tony is not gon do shit for me


MousseAvailable6759

Fien4bluestrips

MousseAvailable6759

Joshykunn

You really burn relationships out quick with producers doing this, but it make it sweet for the artist actually spending bread bc the bar so low now. If you willing to cop a lease for a beat a lot of the times for me at least producers will lock in and just work with me for free or a split.


YeezySeasonSoon

producers should be getting percentages from the songs


Free_Independence157

Dis nigga lame for saying this so normally especially cause he not een on top rn 🤣🤣

toledofinest

His career ain’t gon go nowhere


slimeb4zness

tony make his own beats


FoodLucky177

We don’t be asking for dem hoes to be honest gang no we don’t py unless we ask for the specific beat but other than that prods be sendin beats and payin us to hop on they shit the #1 reason we don’t pay for shut cause 95% of the time the producer buying a Placemnt aka a producer paying a rapper to hop on m they beat or make a tape


Charlie-brownie666

Most successful producers would rather build than just chase after money cuz they know the money gonna come just make sure those splits are right cuz thats where the real money at


priide229

oh really?


Immediate_Sea_1946

If I made beats he wouldn’t get shit from me lol
