So, I'm a huge Eminem/D12 fan. The Marshall Mathers LP and Devil's Night are 2 of my favorite albums of all time.
I follow Bizarre from D12 on Twitter. Now he always posts shit like "I'm in the studio, let's work, email me for a price".. I've thought about it, but never actually sent an email to get a verse/ask about a price.
A week or so ago, I seen him post something that said he was going to do a remix of one of the songs he did with Em like 20 years ago or something like that, and to email him to see about getting on... "Only one spot left"
so I said fuck it. let me shoot my shot.
A week later he emails me back.
Now I wasn't expecting it to be free. I know music is a business. But $1500? I was thinking maybe $500 (what he usually charges for a verse from him) or maybe he would accept submissions and choose who he thought was the best to do a verse for the remix? Idk, I just felt some type of way about it. Like dude is trying to take advantage of his fans/eat off our backs while using Em's name. D12 had 2 multi-platinum albums. Surely he can't be hurting for the money? Like I said, I'm not mad about being asked for money to be on HIS song, but it just left me feeling a little salty.
Thoughts?
