being in the music business, i can say for sure that rap/hiphop is easily the worst to deal with. i record people for a living and i charge what i consider a fair price. however, i apparently charge too much for hiphop. can't tell you how many times i worked on a song where the artist was bragging about how much money/drugs they had and not want to pay more than 20 bucks for the 6 or 7 hours i spent polishing their turd. they can't even hook up a decent sack! sure, there's people who take their time and do it right but 99% think they're famous just because their voice is on a cd. i blame the parents.

and these arent just the local shitty wannabes either. some of these artists have grammy nominations and are taken very seriously by a lot of people. i'd name names, but i don't want to get shot at.
