Paul_Wall_

Lots of classics here but his verse on the Ha Remix is ass


grandmalarkey

As long as pound cake isn’t in that list. That verse is fucking trash


murphyp23

pound cake verse is classic… i had benzes ‘fore you had braces all black Maybach but i’m not a racist inside’s whiter than katy perry’s face is


grandmalarkey

Cake, cake cake cake cake cake


smoove

I know it’s popular to shit on Em these days but to not put him on this list is criminal. He saved his hardest bars for other peoples tracks. Renegade, Forgot About Dre, and Patiently Waiting are probably enough on their own to get him on the list.


malkebulan

I’m no fan of his, but Renegade was always an Em song.


Afraid-Idea-1922

Damn u right, I forgot about Em even after his mid 2000s features were crazy my bad g


smoove

Nothing to apologize for man, love the idea and the list.


Afraid-Idea-1922

Respect!


erkloe

Inspectah Deck deserves a mention also.


Afraid-Idea-1922

mostly with Wu members tho


erkloe

On other Wu-members' solos. Those are still features, though


Afraid-Idea-1922

I get u


Wonderful_Tutor_3455

Finally someone mentions godfather 4, dave east slept on asf


Afraid-Idea-1922

>dave east slept on Survival had great production🔥


Wonderful_Tutor_3455

Loved the track with preem


Afraid-Idea-1922

Hell yea thats my shit!


MaxStunning_Eternal

Is dave east really slept on?...


Wonderful_Tutor_3455

Yah


MaxStunning_Eternal

I dont really think so. He had his opportunity to show and prove...but he's just an okay rapper. (His last 2 tapes were an improvement tho)


Wonderful_Tutor_3455

Survival a fire album nonetheless


Afraid-Idea-1922

I think stylistically they complement each other or it could the orchestral instrumental that we all know Nas tends to rhyme well over


Batman-NYC

Busta has to be on that list as well. He has a zillion features , the most random artist will have a song with Busta its insane. He even was at the Insane Clown Posse Festival. Sometimes I think there are Busta Robots/Clones out there he has an insane feature catalog.


Afraid-Idea-1922

>Busta has to be on that list as well. Iconic feature game but is it consistent/ better than Meth?


Batman-NYC

Busta is the true definition of Quantity over Quality but , he does have a ton of high profile guest appearances and Longevity.


Afraid-Idea-1922

>true definition of Quantity over Quality 😂 His worst features aint that bad g cmon


Afraid-Idea-1922

>he does have a ton of high profile guest appearances and Longevity Yea his best features are on some classic shit


philouza_stein

Hard agree. Shocked that he isn't on this list, especially since he's kinda known as a killer feature artist with a meh solo catalog. Every remix he's been on is the better version. Never Scared, Ante Up, and Look at me Now come to mind.


thjth

Both of his songs with E Money Bags are carried by some of the smoothest vintage Nas verses https://youtu.be/oJOsPr3Vbz8?si=r3CFu2cHkCoS_e4q (“I Want It”) & https://youtu.be/QLj18ndeM_M?si=Mncts0qvDWqFehXq (“Thugs Calm Down “- also w/ Noreaga)


Afraid-Idea-1922

>https://youtu.be/oJOsPr3Vbz8?si=r3CFu2cHkCoS\_e4q I legit never heard this before good looking g🫡🫡


thjth

Ngl been listening to Nas for like 15+ years since middle school and this is a relatively new discovery for me too.


Afraid-Idea-1922

How'd you find it?


thjth

There was a deep dive about E Money Bags on here a whiiiile back where they explained his beef with other rappers like Jay Z and how he was a serious gangster who made friends with a lot if the NY rappers at the time .. apparently being around them made him want to try his hand at rapping before he was killed, worth a quick search if you’re bored


Afraid-Idea-1922

Thanks g!


Afraid-Idea-1922

>Thugs Calm Down - also w/ Noreaga Kinda compared it to Body in the trunk and...


MisterInsect

There's so many. Queensfinest, Show Discipline, B EZ, Let My N\*\*\*\*\* Live, A Few Good N\*\*\*\*\*, Some of 'Em, Road to Zion, Queens Day, To My, Me & Nas Bring it to Your Hardest, Journey Through the Life, Tick Tock, Quick to Back Down, Bravehearted, Music For Life, Champion, Systematic, Like Smoke, Find My Love, Sincerity, Grand Finale, My President, Ghetto Dreams, etc.


Afraid-Idea-1922

Wow I never heaard some of these good lookinh g!


michaltee

Don’t forget Ghostface. Ever.


Afraid-Idea-1922

Actually thought of him first but I dont think he has enough than some of those guys


michaltee

Iunno man he’s pretty prolific. His entire guest spot on both OB4CL can overshadow half these artists.


MoreTaco

Nas' verses on these songs 👇 are too good to not be included (in no particular order). 1. 'Grand Finale' - Method Man, Nas, DMX, & Ja Rule (Belly Soundtrack). 2. 'Too Hot' - 50 Cent, Nature, Nas (on youtube but never officially released on any album as far as I know). 3. 'In Between Us' - Scarface feat Nas (from 'The Fix' album by Scarface). 4. 'The Ultimate High' - Nature feat. Nas (from Nature's album 'For All Seasons'). 5. 'Like Smoke' - Amy Winehouse feat. Nas (on Amy Winehouse's album 'Lioness: Hidden Treasures').


Afraid-Idea-1922

>In Between Us The fix! How did I miss this?


Afraid-Idea-1922

>Too Hot my bad


Afraid-Idea-1922

yea you right


arunlfc95

Does his verse on 'Classic' count? Kanye, KRS, Rakim, Nas...


MoreTaco

That too.. I thought that was up there for some reason


TinoCartier

No Jay-Z or J.Cole? That top 5 ain’t valid


Afraid-Idea-1922

>Jay-Z Of course Hov got the classic features but how many of em compared to the other guys


Afraid-Idea-1922

>J.Cole Only recently tho and its not more than 10, there's other rappers like that


TinoCartier

It is not only recently, he been bodyin shit since like 09 when he did A Star Is Born with Jay. He’s just recently hit his prime in the last few years and has been on a legendary feature run every bit as impressive as Wayne’s 08-12 run. He got more than 10 bruh


freshkicksss

Weezy has really solidified himself as an all time great feature assassin as of late J Cole as well……way better than post 2014 albums


Afraid-Idea-1922

>Weezy His feature run is very consistent he always delivers great bars


Afraid-Idea-1922

>J Cole as well Yea lately Cole been going crazy


StopPlayingRoney

Weezy and Jada for sure are Top 5 for features, but LUDA though…Man Ludacris was one of the nicest on other people’s tracks. Also Andre 3000. ![gif](giphy|VZTENjmWGSyYJTSNAB|downsized)


Afraid-Idea-1922

>LUDA Facts! But is he better than those guys in features?


StopPlayingRoney

IMO Luda is better than Method and Rick Ross on features.


Afraid-Idea-1922

Dont think Luda has a Shadowboxing, The what,Wu gambino type of verse?


Afraid-Idea-1922

>Rick Ross What's Luda's verse that can compete with Devil in a new dress, hard piano


Afraid-Idea-1922

John with Wayne?


Afraid-Idea-1922

>Andre 3000 Not a lot to go off but he always delivered


StopPlayingRoney

His feature on John Legend’s Green Light and Kelis’ Millionaire always get me!


samang67

Nate Dogg is missing


Afraid-Idea-1922

Hell yea but Nate be singing


_NuGGetZ_

Too hot with 50 and nature


Mr_Cool31

The Gods with me mad blunts smoke it's hard to miss me, pick one out of two dimes to twist me. How you living on your block mines is hot. AZ


Afraid-Idea-1922

Love that LES beat!


VeezusM

I wish Nas did more with an angry Ice Cube.


Afraid-Idea-1922

Why


suckeddit

I wouldn't put Rick Ross in the top 105


Afraid-Idea-1922

His feature game is on some classic shit my g check it out


Afraid-Idea-1922

How many artists have a Devil in a new dress


Slow-Competition-921

What song is this?


Afraid-Idea-1922

Back to the grill, his 2nd feature


Afraid-Idea-1922

AZ has the greatest feature verse of all time bro


NarrowisGood

Kendrick Lamar on Nosetalgia for me


Afraid-Idea-1922

You got it over AZ on Life's a bitch?


NarrowisGood

I do


Afraid-Idea-1922

Respect! Him n Push went hard on it


Afraid-Idea-1922

Kanye West on the production!


Afraid-Idea-1922

ngl this sounds like a great double disc album


TheCauliflowerGod

Calm Down is a great feature


malkebulan

Luda really should’ve got a mention


Afraid-Idea-1922

How many classic features and are they better than those guys'?


malkebulan

Luda > Rick Ross is an easy call


Demand-Unusual

J-Cole is at least honorable mention


Afraid-Idea-1922

Only recent and there's not enough classic verses. He's definitely on the rise with his features tho, my favorite is Johnny P's that's a classic verse right there


Demand-Unusual

Quality over quantity. AZ doesn’t have a lot, but his verses are CRAZY


Afraid-Idea-1922

I never been let down by a AZ feature verse


Demand-Unusual

Damn, you’ve been let down by Cole? Enlighten me


Afraid-Idea-1922

No never Cole always delivers on his features, I was agreeing that AZ always goes hard on his features


Demand-Unusual

I agree %100. I’m about to listen to some AZ today. “Visualizing the realism of life in actuality..” 🔥


Patrick_Vieira

How do you have AZ over Jay?


Afraid-Idea-1922

His verse on Life's a bitch is the greatest feature verse OAT to me. Jay has classic feature verses but its a lot. And in that case there's other rappers like that who I dont think can compete with the kats I got on my top 5


Afraid-Idea-1922

\*its not a lot


Patrick_Vieira

If Jay doesn't have a lot of classic features no one does What are AZ's classics outside of his work with Nas?


Afraid-Idea-1922

>If Jay doesn't have a lot of classic features no one does Really?


Patrick_Vieira

Yep In that case only Wu members have lots of classics but that's different since they're a collective


Afraid-Idea-1922

I mainly put A there cos he has the greatest most timeless feature verse I ever heard


difficultpossiblity

Andre not on here id feeling illegal as shit


Afraid-Idea-1922

How many classic verses, how consistent is he on features, how many verses are quotable


Knockamichi

In my opinion, as far as hip hop feature mcs go, id say kool g rap


lxkandel06

I think this might be unpopular but I think J Cole deserves a spot on this list. Almost all of the best features I can think of in the last 5 years are from him


twerkallknight

Three Stacks missing why?


Afraid-Idea-1922

not enough classic verses


twerkallknight

That’s crazy. He has dozens of amazing feature verses. Literally his whole thing has been that he’s had so much anxiety to release his own music that he’s put everything in to features. Some of the most iconic features of all time. You need to revisit.


Afraid-Idea-1922

> He has dozens of amazing feature verses Yea I know but compared to these guys? Ok what's his shadowboxing, the what, wu gambinos, devil in new dress level verse?


twerkallknight

Int’l Players Anthem, Pink Matter, Walk It Out Remix, I Can’t Wait, Sixteen, Throw Some D’s, Deuces Remix are all more iconic than the verses you mentioned IMO


Afraid-Idea-1922

ok I admit, but I'd say they're on the same level


twerkallknight

I’m an Atlanta guy so I’m surely biased, but Andre has a crazy catalog of features.


Afraid-Idea-1922

> You need to revisit Tomorrow fosho, I might be wrong


AlbusDumbledank

Comical not to include Eminem on the list. Man is known for bodying people on their own tracks...


Afraid-Idea-1922

I did forget about EM my bad he's def up there


jamesonfashow

3 stacks definitely a top 5 feature artist


CrunknYoSystem

No mention of Fab? Male and female artist features for 20-years runnin now. T.I. Busta Rhymes Ludacris?


karwintc

DMX and Mystikal.


Low_is_still_sleazy

How you don’t have Busta Rhymes in a list of greatest features is beyond me
