"Alright now we're going to talk about when you're a featured artist. Sometimes people will call you to feature on their records the bigger your buzz gets the more supply and demand you'll start to have to do verses for other rapper's records. The biggest thing is this, don't go over there with your own concept and your own thing. You want to vibe with that person. You want to make the record sound as if you all worked together on the record. So either come up with a concept together that you all are both comfortable with and write on the concept, or if they already have a concept for the record, write based on that concept. And another thing, this is just a real person personal tip me to you all, when you are on the next man's record you want to write the hottest you can write at that point because this is your chance to really shine. He didn't call you over there because you were the worst of the worst. He called you over there to do a song with him because you were the cream of the crop. You see what I'm saying? So, you just have to further solidify what you are. You see what I'm saying? You have to once again go back to the drawing board, the what I call the 'prove again board' and prove again that you're the right guy for features. If you nail one major feature and knock a home run with it, a lot of artists will start calling you. You'll start to be that featured artist. When you become that featured artist you become feature money."
