Alchemist used to sell beats to Saigon when he got out of jail for 100$ back in 2000.
DJ Premier used to charge 30.000$ for beats back in 1993.

a few from me:
Alchemist is half Israeli, from his fathers side and when he was small he got sent to a Kibbutz because of bad grades.
Before they chose Dilated Peoples as their name, Evidence, Rakaa and DJ Babu called themselves "The Flatlinerz".
Madlib's brother Oh No is also a rapper and hip hop producer.
J Dilla has an electronic album and a jazz album that will probably never be released.
DITC Affiliate and 1/2 of the Ghetto Dwellas, Bronx native Party Arty actually died from AIDS.
R.A. The Rugged Man's cousin used to freestyle with Biggie Smalls and other famous rappers in the studio.
R.A. The Rugged Man has another track with Biggie Smalls other than "c*nt Renaissance" but there's a good chance it will never see the light of day because the original tape is pretty damaged.
Dilated Peoples had beef and disses with Eminem.
Alchemist got dissed by: R.A. The Rugged Man, Littles, Ty Nitty, Ras Kass and Daz Dillinger.
Evidence also i believe got engaged once to this cape verdean girl i used to wanna bang so Bad. :takedat:

Sharief Justice Allah revealed the Older Gods displeasure about the RZAs activities which caused tension amongst the N.G.E such as arriving at the school of mecca in 97 with a crucifix on his neck... RZA tried to make up for this discrepency by funding several consecutive events only to offend the gods several years later by publishing the wutang manual which revealed the esoteric nature of the supreme matham@atics
Heard something about Rakim not wanting to work with Wu Tang because of something similar

And Just Blaze said that when he got the chance to work with Jay-z and the rest of Rocafella he got paid 1.000.000$ in advance, and he said that was for like 20 beats in advance, so that must mean that he charged 50000$ per beat.

Back in 2009, Jay-Z recorded 6 tracks with beats from the Alchemist, unfortunately the check for the beats bounced, what happened to the beats or the tracks remains unresolved to this day.
Alchemist made this beat for Jay-Z, but he didn't like it. -
