Flying Lotus took to Twitter this afternoon to talk about rappers who do not pay producers fairly. "To producers," he tweeted, "when a rapper invites u to the studio and asks u to make beats on the spot. Tell them to pay your fee on the spot, cuz fuck that." He continued: "Hella rap artists are rape artists. Taking advantage of abilities thinking its a good look for us! Most my people behind the scenes is broke."
To emphasize the importance of the producer, he credited Metro Boomin for playing a significant role in Future's career. "If u ask me. It's @MetroBoomin featuring @1future. He makes that shit what it is tbh."
Reps for Flying Lotus, Future, and Metro Boomin were not immediately available for comment.
