Fool me once, shame on you: fool me twice shame on me.
That's got to be what producer Bangladesh is thinking today, after admitting that he hasn't been compensated for constructing the "6'7" track for Lil Wayne's upcoming 'Tha Carter IV' album.
Mind you, this is the same producer who has complained in the past that he was never paid for the "A Milli" beat either.
"I f*ck with Wayne man. I had the opportunity to give him more music," Bang told MTV. "It's just hard to do. It's just hard to keep working for free. Aint got nothing to do with royalties, but you do work, you expect to get paid for the work and sh*t. You keep getting the run around so it's like you can't just keep giving somebody your best sh*t... it's hard to do."
Bangledesh had to know what he was walking into, and did it anyway. He wanted to the chance to work with Lil Wayne again after crafting 'Tha Carter III' banger, "A Milli." He took a leap of faith and may have struck out again.
He says there are several ways he could have been compensated.
"Producers get paid several ways - like there's different monies," Bang explained. "This aint got nothing to do with the royalties, it's just the fee what I charge for the beat and it hasn't been handled properly."
"6'7" will appear on on Wayne's upcoming 'Tha Carter IV' album.
Should we feel sorry for Bangledesh given the fact he wasn't paid before, and knew the risk going in?

Music duo Karmin has been doing covers on youtube since last August, but it wasn't until they covered Chris Brown's "Look At Me Now" did things start to take off for them.
Now they are back attempting to duplicate that success with their take on Lil Wayne and Cory Gunz's "6'7."
What's your take, do they kill it or not?

The dynamic duo of Eminem and Lil Wayne descended onto the Saturday Night Live stage yesterday for 3 high energy performances.
Backed by a live band, Weezy and Slim Shady tore through “No Love” and “Won’t Back Down" off Em’s ‘Recovery’ album. Then for the finale Wayne ripped through his latest single “6’7” off his upcoming ‘Tha Carter IV’ cd.
Overall, it was very entertaining. Would have been even better if Pink was there for the chorus on “Won’t Back Down” and Cory Gunz for his verse on “6’7”, but a great show nonetheless.

It happens a lot in the music business. Beats sometimes get passed around to several artist before one buys it.
That’s exactly what happened with Lil Wayne’s new song “6’7” according to producer Bangladesh. We could have been sitting here talking about how T.I. ripped it on his new ‘No Mercy’ album. Instead it dound it's way to Weezy.
“Due to the situation and the circumstances of the Cash Money situation I wasn’t really thinking about Wayne at that moment when I made it. I just knew that the beat was a big track and I couldn’t at the time think of nobody that could swag this like out like that or was worthy enough of this beat really,” Bang told BET.
At around the same time T.I. was working on his new album. Bang decided to send the track over to Gee Robertson, president of the rap division at Atlantic Records.
“I was actually sending the beat to Gee for T.I. I mean not that I think T.I. would sound that good on the beat. They were just looking for a single and somebody said, ‘Man send that over to Gee, T.I. need something.”
I already dealt with T.I., I know how T.I. is, I know he really wouldn’t be rocking this beat right there, so I sent it anyway.” the producer said.
Gee also happened to be a part of Lil Wayne’s management team. As soon as he heard the beat he called Bangladesh back, saying it would be perfect for Weezy instead of TIP.
So despite not having been paid for the ‘A Milli’ beat from Wayne’s ‘Tha Carter III’ album, Bang decided Wayne would be a better choice over T.I. for it.
I have never heard a producer be as critical of a rapper as Bangladesh was regarding T.I. He just has a totally different style than Wayne, but the man is a proven hit maker. I can't see Tip deciding to use the track and not do it justice, but I could be wrong.
Do you guys think T.I. would have done just as good of a job as Wayne?
