Jay doesn't fukk with anyone who moves more records than himself thoughDifference 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
Jays If you want to look at Jays 20 latest features excluding people signed to him or Kanye (we've got to go far back for this) we got Rick Ross, Robin Thicke, Ludacris, Usher, Fabolous, Jeezy, MIA, Freeway, Bun-B, Lenny Kravitz.. Of those 2 were signed to Def Jam when he was signing papers, 1 was his protege, 1 is a washed up rocker, 1 a cac r&b singer that hasn't gone gold in 7 years, 1 a hipster singer, two other Def Jam connections during his reign and Usher.
From my knowledge of regression analysis, I can't see a trend.
Clearly he does features with either cats he fukks with, cats that are signed to him or Kanye, random people and hot people. Like anyone else to either expand his brand, cause he enjoys the artist or cause he wants to put on for his people, but I mean he's the God of the genre, he should be held to a higher standard. If he's not like these other legends and rappers, he shouldn't be treated like them I guess
another disappointing Jay verse, really hoped he would kill this one
Camel needs to retire already, Kendrick killed that fakkit, Grey Hova ruined the track, I knew it
