Why do rappers get features from Birdman?

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

It's 1 of the greatest mysteries in Hip Hop. I don't get why you would want the nikka on a song. You already know what his subject matter will be before he starts rapping and he's not going to say anything impressive. It's as bad as getting a feature from Puffy. The only 2 features he did that I liked were Bling Bling and the Playa Why Ya Hatin shyt with Tear Da Club Up Thugs.

because birdman give them nikkas a check. wouldn't u take $5,000 from a nikka or more to perform on your track

 

[Harry B]

Cause they owe him favors and they want him to owe you favors.

Also mostly his features are on cats who are helped by a birdman feature, It's not like we're gonna see J. Cole ft Birdman.
It's either his friends, rappers like Ace Hood or people who want to be Birdmans friend.

I doubt that he's paying to be featured on peoples records lol.

Probably because Birdman is the CEO of the most popular label in music right now,, opens up alot of doors.

All them weed carriers on his label and dude still penning his own verses. One of the greatest mysteries of rap. Dude has a hiphop vocabulary that consists of like 30 words. nikka, millions, billions, bugatti, and some kind of designer clothing are used in EVERY birdman verse

On one side of the tipping scale, you have a ceo who raps like shiit, has zero delivery… but at least (from what we can presume based on the quality) writes his own material

On the other end of the spectrum, you have a guy who is usually lights out on the mic, ill delivery because he’s practiced since the early 90’s and influenced/been around/overseen by the industry’s elite… but the only time his pen touches any paper is to sign documents.

I prefer puff in that regard.

Nah other rappers switch it up every now and then and also try to come with some wit, punchlines, "bars", flow, or whatever have you. Birdman has used the same everything since the 90s. Im pretty sure he could recycle verses from back then and nobody would even bat an eye
