When young rappers speak on how much they charge for a feature the cap gets wild and thick.
But JAY-Z doesn't do such pretensions.
The rap legend's pricing structure for features is simple: He doesn't charge.
He explained how he doles out his verses in his interview with Kevin Hart.

“It’s actually always been mostly relationships. Sometimes it’s talent,” Jay said. “Pretty much every song that I’m on, I’m asked to be on. I don’t ask people to be on their songs ... never charge.”
Hov went on to say that he's turned many people down for a feature, and tries to be "straight up" and not drag things on when he rejects them.
