Song Features (feat. onlysmallbites)

[@amazingsomehow3951]

Boredom by Tyler, the Creater is one of my favorite examples of two artists who, at the time, felt way different from one another, and ended up complimenting eachother perfectly

[@pepearown4968]

I can’t believe no one hasn’t mentioned the “self feature” on Trilogy. On Thursday, the second tape, there’s Lonely Star and The Birds Pt. 2, both of which feature a female character called Valerie. (She gets the bonus track named after her, too.) Valerie is just The Weeknd with a voice changer, but, in my opinion, it really is convincing enough to feel like an extra feature on the mixtape besides Drake of all people. “She” only narrates on Lonely Star, but she sings the chorus on TBP2. (The latter track also begins with her crying.)

[@onlysmallbites]

Oh snap, I actually didn't know that, I legit thought that was someone else. Should've known considering theres no other vocal credits, haha. Craaazy~ I always loved those additions to the tracks. That's awesome!

[@loganosborne5026]

She doesn’t actually sing the chorus on the birds part 2. He sampled a song off a game called Fahrenheit, and then just pitched up the chorus to make it sound higher. It does sound similar to the lonely star voice but it’s not actually the “girl” singing. It’s a sampled song from Fahrenheit called sandpaper kisses.

[@lydiavalentino]

Truly legendary posse cut I'm surprised wasn't mentioned: Danny Brown's "Really Doe." Danny sets the tone with his opening verse, then being complemented with Kendrick Lamar on the hook and bridge, and Ab-Soul & Earl Sweatshirt's verses. Their voices' different timbres just fit together perfectly.

[@Mojacaine]

Kanye on American Boy by Estelle is one of best rap features on a singer's track in the 2000s

[@ipercreeper3300]

Kanye on Fall Out Boy's "This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race - Remix" is one of the worst feature verses I've ever heard but it's also kind of unintentionally hilarious

[@onlysmallbites]

Oooh man that features so baaaad, I try to purge that feature from my mind and you just reminded me of it, im taking you to court.

[@davidgarcia0604]

Kanye really went on the song and said"I don't know what this song about."

[@8teenOfficial]

@Zero both trav and abel do amazing on pray 4 love, fantastic song

[@Eyeshield11721]

Legit wish that Abel and Ariana Grande’s Save your Tears ended up on the actual album. It was already a great song but that collab just pushed it even higher in quality.

[@jamesphipps1121]

I think features can be really powerful in making us reconsider our opinions on artists we may have written off. We'll wanna keep listening to the song even if we're not 100% on the feature at first because we wanna hear the main artist. I had this with the Rico Nasty feature on Ain't No Way from the latest Denzel Curry record, didn't like her part at first but now I enjoy it as much as the rest.

[@loverboyclement6767]

yes!! rico is amazing

[@einar9994]

Bro same with aint no way, that shits fire

[@SeanMacadelic]

4:50 It’s interesting that you bring this up; because I distinctly remember a problem with older mp3’s was that any song featuring an artist, would create a new artist… example: one song creating a new artist category. Tyler the Creator ft. Kali Uchis (this is now a singular artist according to my iPod).

[@offbrandbiscuit]

All Drake features on Abel's songs are amazing, and I really loved the work he did with Future too. Also glad you mentioned Kanye's "Monster" and "So Appalled", but I think Jay's verse on Monster was actually pretty good, though his is technically the weakest when compared to Nicki and Kanye's verses. His work on So Appalled was crazy though

[@einar9994]

I dont know why but i think nicki minajs verse isnt that good, its not bad but it just feels so overrated

[@Nisos037]

As a french rap lover, my feats will not be interesting to many but "Spécial" by Laylow ft. Fousheé & Nekfeu is my clear favorite and the worse? I don't remer the name of the track but Tony parker (basketter) inviting Booba (old "goat" of the 2000s..) only made them free punchlines for anyone else even now. And btw, love your stuff

[@themandownstairs4765]

ideally a feature shouldn't outclass the main artist but they should add something to the song. still, my favourite "outclasses main artist" example is Lil Wayne on Drake's "You Only Live Twice". I've looped snippets that are just his verse more times than I've heard anything else off that last record

[@pepearown4968]

At least 60% of the songs that feature The Weeknd have him outclass the main artist. It’s not a bad thing.

[@trevorstillson8126]

One of my favorite things Mac Miller ever did, was feature on his own side projects a lot. My Grandfather Used to Carry a Flask from Delusional Thomas is the absolute best example of this, but he also did it on the closing song of run on sentences volume 1. Which is a bit funnier, because he begins it with "Damn Larry Fisherman, you really did something here" which is just fully complimenting himself before hopping in to close the beat tape.

[@indigoblue8600]

I have yet to see anyone mention RNP with Cordae and Anderson .Paak. Those two have a chemistry on this record that always makes me come back wanting more lmao. Also banger video too I can’t wait to see more

[@w00ds98]

When it comes to features in Hip Hop Donda & Astroworld are absolute treasure troves. Almost all of the features on these records fit perfectly into the songs and their feature doesn‘t feel distinct, but like a natural part of the record. Which imho is the best type of feature. I also really really love Jay-Z‘s feature on Mr. Carter. Besides matching the songs energy perfectly, he is also a Mr. Carter, just like Wayne. Love meta stuff like that. And lastly to name something outside of the Hip Hop realm, the new Kavinsky Album. Idk any of the features from that Album but I know none of the songs would be as fucking amazing as they are (seriously guys go check it out. 10/10 Album idk how it doesn‘t have millions of streams), without these talented vocalists. I guess thats also a type of feature. Totally obscure, yet incredibly talented features.

[@jennyneon]

I donʼt know if this also counts, but the fact that BROCKHAMPTON in 2017 has performed their best songs without having any MC superstar really proved to be the greatest boy band ever. Also, posse cuts are great.

[@ttt7337jjj]

Bladee on 7 roses is fye. As well as Black Kray on Friday nite. (Also I love how you showed the piñata posse cut, so many legendary verses on that)

[@Votterbin]

My favorite kind of feature is the instrumental feature (dunno if that's the actual name), where an artist already known for their instrumental work does/contributes to the instrumental for another artist's song. I don't know where this first started popping up, the only example I know off the top of my head is when Mick Gordon (who did the OSTs for DOOM2016 and DOOM Eternal) worked with Motionless In White for the song Scoring The End Of The World

The reason Drake's "Don't Matter To Me" is so hated by Michael Jackson fans is simply because Drake put Autotune on Mike's vocals. Autotune. On Michael Jackson. The same Michael Jackson who is considered to be one of, if not the greatest vocalist of all time.

Puppet by Tyler, the Creator is a good example because for a good amount of the song you dont hear kanye, but as soon as you do you think, "wait is that Ye?"
