Slum Village revealed how much they were charged by Kanye West for a feature in the song ‘Selfish.’
RJ stated, “The real story? Because you got the PC version of the story. We walk in the studio. [Ye’s] sitting there. John Legend’s sitting there. Matter of fact, [Ye] had a burgundy Polo sweater. Cashmere. Kanye made the beat for ‘Selfish.’ So we walk in there, he’s like, ‘This the joint.’ Ain’t no options. This the only beat he played. ‘This the beat. This it for y’all.’ We like, ‘Okay.’ Everybody looking around like, ‘Okay, yeah. We can work with this.'”
T3 continued on about the $90k, “The only reason he charged that was because of a certain A&R that turned him down when he was looking for a record deal. He was getting payback.”
