Why does j cole never/rarely do features?

[The Blackout]

features ain't what they used to be. you used to hope two of your favorite artists would feature, these days they'll just make an whole album together.

rap feature inflation

 

[Jean Jacket]

Cole got weird energy.

This cat depresses me when he rhymes.

 

[Orange cream shake]

Features are for people who need help selling records and or trying to appeal to another fan base.

 

[dirty_yo]

why pay a few 100k for a j cole feature when you can pick up nyquil for $4 at your local store?

 

[Da King]

Probably doesn't like rappers. He's at a point where he doesn't need these nikkas.

exactly, features are only to get your own buzz up. He doing 600K week one with no features and his last album plat. He got enough money, especially with him producing all his own shyt, so not need to fake friend with other rappers

 

[Ineedmoney504]

Cole has probably done 50-60 or more features since the warmup. So he has done plenty features. I'm sure he's to caught up in life focusing on his label, touring, his own career and his own personal life to be trying to get featured.

And I'm pretty sure him and Kendrick has tons of songs, same wit him and chance the rapper

I don't know about you but I hate buying an album and finding a bunch of no name or rapper of the week rappers wasting 16s on the album. if i wanted to hear those fukks I would go buy their albums.

features need to die..

posse cuts are another matter.. i'm always down for them.

100 motherfukkin percent, imagine getting an official Kendrick album after waiting what, 2+ years and him only having two solo tracks on there, fukk that I want 80% of the track to be the artist who made the project

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

Him and bas always drop some dope records together.

 

[3rdLetter]

He was on a Wale track where he absolutely bodied the shyt outta him. Forgot what the song was called but it was

 

[Somebody]

y'all are not missing the point, you just out here dodgin the fade. u know op meant why nobody lookin for a cole feature. since that bushworthy verse on the jeremih record, no one wants to be seen with dude.

and yes, cole got etherized on jodeci freestyle

 

[GreenGhxst]

Him and bas always drop some dope records together.

Dreamville features seem like they fit cole the best

Bas, Cozz and Cole together all fit together, their music meshes and compliments

 

[ISO]

He does features

Janet Jackson, Jeremih, Maroon 5, Trae tha Truth, Cozz, Bas, Wale, Lil Boosie, Chance The Rapper, DJ Khaled all got features from him in the last two years.

 

[Lifer11]

Well it's his gimmick now and he does need features

Changes sounds amazing because Cole isn't singing the hook

Cole is on the hook on Change. There's a girl harmonizing one word on the hook with him.

beautiful bliss. wale should have thrown a retirement party after that.
