DO FEATURES AFFECT YOUR DECISION?

[yadaimhollaing]

i dont care about features on a cd after getting suckered on that shit for years. i hate when the song shows its featuring an artist and all they doin is a hook. i could give a fuck about the artist whos doin a hook.

 

[Its Premo]

only if its a compilation

anyone can pay money to get whoever on a track

whoevers album it is should be the star of the show and shouldnt get outshined on his own tracks

 

[tha k.i.d.]

aight, maybe another question to ask then is, what does attract you to an unknown artists album, if not feat.?

 

[autistic]

When I buy a c.d. I usually listen to it first in the listening section so I don't waste my money. So if there's some sic features it definitely catches my eye and I might check it out in the listening section. When I hear it if the features completely outshine the up and comer that says a lot. But if the artist can hold his own with some heated features that says a lot to the artist's credit. Would I buy someone's cd because they have a bunch of All Star's on there without hearing the music first? No.
Listening sections have been around for a while so I think that has to be considered.

 

[S-J]

I've bought cds in the past because they had alot of good features but now I probably wouldnt do that, I'd have to know its good and heard some of it first.

 

[autistic]

i feel you, but what if they were your favorite artists. like if you made a list of your top five, and those were that cats on dude's album? would you cop it then, without listening?

NO.

sometimes ... but i will check out almost anything ...

 

[matteo650]

ya, if theres a bunch of features pretty much says that, that artist is garbage and cant hold is own on a track, 3-4 features top a cd

i agree

 

[Chinese Mike]

to me it means more for an unknown artist to feature on a known artists album than vice versa

 

[hitthegas]

it made me buy the klump and Yuk cd just because i wanted to hear some new Yuk, not klump.

 

[Imonone]

Yes, but not if they are obviously over the phone verses.

Like I wouldnt buy an A-Wax cd with The Game on it, because I know they didnt do the track together.

 

[MrFedEx503]

yes.

 

[tha k.i.d.]

ya, if theres a bunch of features pretty much says that, that artist is garbage and cant hold is own on a track, 3-4 features top a cd

thats not always the case though, I've heard a few albums with hella feat. and the artists whos album it is rips up every feat on there. how bout that.........

 

[Mr Ceza]

Yes its the icing on the cake, or can be the deciding factor in buying it or not! My case, no features means no network, normally

i didnt say in every case. now how about that..

 

[Young Bo$$]

I remeber a while back there was a dude on here named Renz Julian who made a song with Clyde Carson on a Traxxamillion beat. I didn't know who Renz was but the features & production got me to give it a listen.

 

[yadaimhollaing]

what helps me buy a cd is when you can hear the whole album not just that 30 second bull shit on rasputins listening station. i bought a few cds from tower because i got to knock the whole disc. i bought greedy riderlife sean t, san quinn the rock and more cause i got to hear the whole cd and not just a snippet.

 

[underground]

yea

 

[Mi$ta-Murda187]

hell yeaa If I see Snoop or e 40
or Bone Thugs N Harmony on the CD
then im buyin it
