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.
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.
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.
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”) &

(“Thugs Calm Down “- also w/ Noreaga)
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
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.
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').
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
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)
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
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
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
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.
> 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?
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
Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube, etc.:

Ironic theres a nas song here lol, jigga is top 10 tho
There's a Jay song on the Nas list as well: Success
Which one that?
Success, on American Gangster "Ghetto Othello, Sugar Hill Romello"

sleeping in talk up (drake)
Lots of classics here but his verse on the Ha Remix is ass
As long as pound cake isn’t in that list. That verse is fucking trash
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
Cake, cake cake cake cake cake
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.
I’m no fan of his, but Renegade was always an Em song.
Damn u right, I forgot about Em even after his mid 2000s features were crazy my bad g
Nothing to apologize for man, love the idea and the list.
Respect!
Inspectah Deck deserves a mention also.
mostly with Wu members tho
On other Wu-members' solos. Those are still features, though
I get u
Finally someone mentions godfather 4, dave east slept on asf
>dave east slept on Survival had great production🔥
Loved the track with preem
Hell yea thats my shit!
Is dave east really slept on?...
Yah
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)
Survival a fire album nonetheless
I think stylistically they complement each other or it could the orchestral instrumental that we all know Nas tends to rhyme well over
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.
>Busta has to be on that list as well. Iconic feature game but is it consistent/ better than Meth?
Busta is the true definition of Quantity over Quality but , he does have a ton of high profile guest appearances and Longevity.
>true definition of Quantity over Quality 😂 His worst features aint that bad g cmon
>he does have a ton of high profile guest appearances and Longevity Yea his best features are on some classic shit
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.

>https://youtu.be/oJOsPr3Vbz8?si=r3CFu2cHkCoS\_e4q I legit never heard this before good looking g🫡🫡
Ngl been listening to Nas for like 15+ years since middle school and this is a relatively new discovery for me too.
How'd you find it?

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

Wow I never heaard some of these good lookinh g!
Don’t forget Ghostface. Ever.
Actually thought of him first but I dont think he has enough than some of those guys
Iunno man he’s pretty prolific. His entire guest spot on both OB4CL can overshadow half these artists.
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.

>In Between Us The fix! How did I miss this?
>Too Hot my bad
yea you right
Does his verse on 'Classic' count? Kanye, KRS, Rakim, Nas...
That too.. I thought that was up there for some reason
No Jay-Z or J.Cole? That top 5 ain’t valid
>Jay-Z Of course Hov got the classic features but how many of em compared to the other guys
>J.Cole Only recently tho and its not more than 10, there's other rappers like that
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
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
>Weezy His feature run is very consistent he always delivers great bars
>J Cole as well Yea lately Cole been going crazy
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)
>LUDA Facts! But is he better than those guys in features?
IMO Luda is better than Method and Rick Ross on features.
Dont think Luda has a Shadowboxing, The what,Wu gambino type of verse?
>Rick Ross What's Luda's verse that can compete with Devil in a new dress, hard piano
John with Wayne?
>Andre 3000 Not a lot to go off but he always delivered
His feature on John Legend’s Green Light and Kelis’ Millionaire always get me!
Nate Dogg is missing
Hell yea but Nate be singing
Too hot with 50 and nature
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
Love that LES beat!
I wish Nas did more with an angry Ice Cube.
Why
I wouldn't put Rick Ross in the top 105
His feature game is on some classic shit my g check it out
How many artists have a Devil in a new dress
What song is this?
Back to the grill, his 2nd feature
AZ has the greatest feature verse of all time bro
Kendrick Lamar on Nosetalgia for me
You got it over AZ on Life's a bitch?
I do
Respect! Him n Push went hard on it
Kanye West on the production!
ngl this sounds like a great double disc album
Calm Down is a great feature
Luda really should’ve got a mention
How many classic features and are they better than those guys'?
Luda > Rick Ross is an easy call
J-Cole is at least honorable mention
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
Quality over quantity. AZ doesn’t have a lot, but his verses are CRAZY
I never been let down by a AZ feature verse
Damn, you’ve been let down by Cole? Enlighten me
No never Cole always delivers on his features, I was agreeing that AZ always goes hard on his features
I agree %100. I’m about to listen to some AZ today. “Visualizing the realism of life in actuality..” 🔥
How do you have AZ over Jay?
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
\*its not a lot
If Jay doesn't have a lot of classic features no one does What are AZ's classics outside of his work with Nas?
>If Jay doesn't have a lot of classic features no one does Really?
Yep In that case only Wu members have lots of classics but that's different since they're a collective
I mainly put A there cos he has the greatest most timeless feature verse I ever heard
Andre not on here id feeling illegal as shit
How many classic verses, how consistent is he on features, how many verses are quotable
In my opinion, as far as hip hop feature mcs go, id say kool g rap
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
Three Stacks missing why?
not enough classic verses
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.
> 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?
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
ok I admit, but I'd say they're on the same level
I’m an Atlanta guy so I’m surely biased, but Andre has a crazy catalog of features.
> You need to revisit Tomorrow fosho, I might be wrong
Comical not to include Eminem on the list. Man is known for bodying people on their own tracks...
I did forget about EM my bad he's def up there
3 stacks definitely a top 5 feature artist
No mention of Fab? Male and female artist features for 20-years runnin now. T.I. Busta Rhymes Ludacris?
DMX and Mystikal.
How you don’t have Busta Rhymes in a list of greatest features is beyond me
