Considering you can make CDQ music using a home studio with (relatively) cheap equipment, with a (semi-) competent engineer, you can replicate the sound quality of what's played on the radio. So, how much of their advance fee do you think goes into the actual music?

idk how u expect anyone to possibly give you answer to this bro
literally anywhere between 1-100% depending on how big the advance is and how established their careers are or how much they care about music

u may as well ask how much a rappers house costs

yeah there literally isnt an answer to this question

Just a fun thread to make speculations lol

If I remember right Frank spent a ton of money renting a multi million dollar mansion while he worked on Channel Orange

Only songs he ended up doing there were pyramids and lost

Wasn't Channel Orange made and recorded in 2 weeks? Surely, that was for the whole album - not just one song?

Nah Channel Orange took just over a year just checked

And the mansion sessions only yielded pyramids lost and a***og 2
