Well that's 'cause it's mixtapes, you could jack beats on mixtapes without paying for them 'cause they don't have credits, just the tracklisting like ol' school albums do, but if you're releasing an album u gotta pay the record company for permission to use that beat and put it in the credits, it's been like that since all the older artists started complaining about rappers stealing their beats without permission in the late '80s/early '90s, it's stupid but it's good in a way for those who originally made those beats to get credit.
