He's not doing it for free. He has a flat rate to do a certain job. I'm guessing his fee wasn't exactly low for a week of work either (50-100k+?). It removes ambiguity and sounds like a method that kept him quite busy at the time. I'm watching the Kanye doc on Netflix right now and there is a discussion where someone wanted him to give them beats for points. He responded hell no wanted his fee (30-50k) instead. Not every person he worked with was JayZ, so getting paid well up front was a way to remove risk.
