gotta find someone else to latch on to...using Kanye to stay popular with the masses
expect a Kendrick collabo on his next jawn...![]()

.Wow. If you get excited about the prospect of a good artist doing something that might be great, that's called dikkriding now?

at anybody sayin the song wack before you even hear it...

I don't get why cats would hate on Jay for doing features, he's done about 5 features in 2 years and like 2 if we exclude Kanye projects. Compared to the only ones comparable Nas and Raekwon who has about 20 in the past 2 years. If we compare with the younger dudes like Wayne, Drake and Ross.
Personally like I said, I think features, as in verses that are just added verses to a song are 95% of the time completely unnecessary from a musical standpoint.

Difference is, Nas will do a verse for Killah Priest, Freddie Foxx, Beastie Boys etc just outta love. He still does the YMCMB shyt but its reasonable when hes helping non-payola acts as well. Rae's the same and will generally do a verse for any respectable underground act that reaches out.
Every Jay feature or collabo is a BACKSCRATCH. No one's getting a Jay cosign if it doesnt directly flow back into his brand. Its so transparent![]()

You are saying this as if you know them both personally though, and I doubt you do. If so, ask Nas if we'll ever get that Lost Tapes 2.
Jay has worked with cats like Dead Prez, Talib Kweli, M.O.P., Lupe Fiasco (executive produced his first album, and featured on it), where it doesn't seem he really had anything to gain, but out of respect. You will instantly look at that as he did it for his own gain though, and that's crazy.
you would see me defending Takeover and the Blueprint over Ether and Stillmatic, and I still would. Ive seen dude in concert twice and wouldve described myself as a super fan up until about 2-3 years ago.
