Vine star turned YouTube heavyweight Jake Paul wants to add Hip Hop to his resume.

And he's willing to pay the price. 

Gucci Mane recently jumped on the remix to Paul's hit "It's Everyday Bro."

It was an odd pairing -- even for the new lean, sober and more kid-friendly Guwop.

Now we have some insight into why Gucci did the remix: 250K in cold hard cash.

It's just the latest example of Gucci getting that bag. BET paid him well over a million to televise his wedding and he just got a $10 million contract extension from Atlantic.

But should Gucci be taking money to let Paul into the game?
