Because you have monopoly producers like hitmaka calling the shots and greasing label heads

He got Mike Caren in his corner

Thug was guaranteed to air your song out for a few years but around 2017-18 and since, most his features became lame and sing songy

Out of that list posted it was definitely Wayne lol

True but some of these artists legitimately NEED a real producer to step in and help pick beats, put songs together etc.

Lotta people in the game, especially street dudes, Are not really music fans like that. I’m not knocking their ability as an artist, Someone can rap/sing good and still not know anything about the s***

This really became clear to me when Lil Baby said he recently just learned what a snare and hi hat were. When picking beats it pretty much starts and ends with “yeah this one sounds cool”

Yea thats facts

It's very infuriating because it does absolutely nothing for him lol

Now this is just a blatant lie

there was a period in the 2010s where i swear raekwon and action bronson were featured on everything not at the blockbuster superstar album tier

Besides Patiently Waiting those feature beat switches do nothing for him lol respectfully

Name them

Every Em feature to ever exist with a beat switch besides Patiently Waiting

Yeah, this nigga trolling

Lol I'm not Em my goat but that's just my take tho

Edit: Adventures of Moon Man & Slim Shady is an exception

yea to give the impression that his words are more impactful than the other verses

he pulled that bs on Forever, listen closely to the beat switch on his verse
