For the sale of physical records (i.e. CDs, tapes, mini-discs, etc...) labels are paid through a distributor who is responsible for the manufacture and distribution of the physical product. These distributors sell the records to retailers such as Tower Records or f.y.e who in turn sell them to consumers. Major labels handle their own distribution. The artists are entitled to a negotiated royalty payment from the sale of each record. For sales through download services such as eMusic, Rhapsody, or iTunes the record labels have individual agreements that allow for a certain percentage of the sales of their music to be paid by the online retailer. For public performance royalties, that is royalties paid for song performances on the internet, TV, clubs, restaurants, or concert venues for example, performance rights organizations (PROs) such as SoundExchange, ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC are responsible for the collection and distribution of royalty payments to member artists. Virtually every artist is a member of most if not all of these organizations.

How much does Ludacris charge for a verse?

Every artist has a different price point, but top artists like Eminem usually command between $40-100 thousand dollars for 16 bars, or one verse. That's assuming he actually wants to collab with you though. Em isn't an industry whore like YMCMB and a lot of the other younger rappers that hop on songs with just anyone that pays them. If he doesn't like what you're about, or if it won't help him expand his fan base exponentially, he probably will refuse to do anything with you regardless of how much cash you got.

Who pays for music videos to be aired on television Do cable networks or is it the artist and label that pay the networks to air it?

I'm not an expert in the field, but it will be governed by contractual agreement. If there is a new upcoming artists a record label (representing the artists) may approach a cable network and offer the music video to be aired at a discounted, or a low fee. This will give the artist exposure, on which hopefully record sales will follow. On the other hand, a cable network or radio station would want to air well known popular artists, as this will attract listeners and viewers, and in between they will air advertisements. This advertising time are paid for by the companies selling the respective product. The cable networks have keep a register of what they play and when and pay over the respective royalties to the record publishing agent. This is one reason why a radio DJ can't just play what they want. They have to keep to the playlist that was set up by the producer. If they don't the network will pay over royalties incorrectly which could lead to lawsuits. Record labels also have publishing agents that monitors what is playing on every radio station and television network. Yes, some people are paid to watch television and listen to radio all day long. They will in turn report to the record label, who should be paying them what in royalties
