I looked over the last 20 years of hip-hop, picked 5 of the most popular albums from that year and checked to see if anyone was featured on more than one of them (or, had one of those top 5 projects themselves, and then featured on another one)
The results say:
Future - did this in 4 out of those 20 years
Lil Wayne - 4 times but less recently
Drake - 3 times, as early as 2011 and recently as 2023 which is crazy
Travis Scott - 3 times, and 3 years in a row
who is the most "government-mandated" feature to you
LMAO @sab can you move this to Music I just realized it got auto put in Politics
Future, Wayne, and Drake don't count. People actually want to hear them.
They did at one point at least, that's true
I think people wanted to hear Travis on features at one point though. Like Company, father stretch my hands pt 1, love galore, sky walker era mid-late 2010s

LMAOOOO the auto move
Will watch then edit this post
Post watch edit:
I like the marvel core point. Never thought about it that way
But to answer the question it’s gotta be future. Future was on love song with Rihanna, kings dead with Kendrick Jay rock, aaaand f*** the world with Lisa.
If you’re popular it’s only a matter of time before you get a mandated future feature
In 2025 it’s Lil Baby, Gunna and 21 in some order
I feel like their peak government mandated time has passed
maybe less so gunna but the other two especially
The reason why 21 entered this convo is he legit went on a crazy feature run where he was torching niggas but then that made everyone start overplacing him on songs lol
This meme literally originated with 21 so we gonna need to put him there
He was examined in the video but by my criteria he only did what I was talking about twice
this s*** gets stuck in my head all the time but I'm saying "Chopped Shyt"
The reason why 21 entered this convo is he legit went on a crazy feature run where he was torching niggas but then that made everyone start overplacing him on songs lol
straight out the 2 Chainz playbook
