MAYBE ON THE EAST COAST

ON THE WEST COAST, SOME OF THE GOAT ALBUMS IS FEATURE HEAVY

THE CHRONIC
DOGGYSTYLE
REGULATE
ALL EYEZ ON ME

ARGUABLY THE MOUNT RUSHMORE

ALL FULLA FEATURES

Although those are collaborative efforts, there is more in house collaborations on those albums than outside features

'My first album had no famous guest appearances, the outcome I'm crowned the best lyricist' - :wow:

I don't understand how your first couple albums especially your debut, you want to share the shine with other acts. It looks like its cheap networking trying to make sales instead of organically wanting to collaborate over similar artistic expressions. These collabos sound and are money grabs.

Jay sold 5 mill with heavy features but most say his best work like Blueprint had only Eminem as a feature. I don't know Kool Kieth is correct to me because when someone relies on features no one is really trying to hear them solo. ie. Kanye.

Feature heavy records trying to siphon hiphop posse cuts based draws. Or features before it was retermed a feature from culture thief misappropriation.
Definitively was put into the light.
as corrosive to an artist draw.
When swv did not survive.
Post 1996....
after their wannabe jd sellout style retread.
of trying to recreate the mca/uptown puff a&r released what's the 411 remix album.
While not being anywhere remotely connected to hiphop. outside of swv being from nyc. As well as jd showcasing mecca envy for nyc.
