there's been countless times where im listening to an album full of 'Track Title ft. Rapper/s' but then songs will have a singer prominently featured throughout and its just 'Track Title' and i have to search the internet to find who's singing on it. Im just wondering why so often, unless the singer is really popular, they dont get credited the same way as other artists

i think there could be a sexism element to it considering how, in my experience, its usually been women singers who aren't given feature credits whereas i cant think of any examples where a man went uncredited. keep in mind though i am just speculating and ive done 0 actual research

Cuz f*** rnb niggas

they probably aren't credited bc they're background vocalists not rly on a verse or hook. they get called in and used for a certain purpose like a session pianist

Jk OP I think its cuz sometimes the singer’s contribution may not be as significant. Sometimes artists are weird with how they feature artists. What are some examples that you think could be sexist tho?

them niggas got demoted

Like when Swae Lee got mad at Trav when all he did was get on the track and say "Someone Said"

Lmao bro really wanted ft credit off of that s***

I mean to be fair bro...someone did said.

Yea exactly. Do we really count background vocals as a full on feature?

Like yall remember when Rocky went on that spree of listing straight up adlibs from Carti as features

Always gotta add the feature even if they’re uncredited

sometimes they provide vibe and are more background noise.. also, popularity.. fans will see a chris brown has a song with this no name person and be turned off... it's marketing

Giveon went uncredited

Swae actually released that song. What if he had a verse on it and Trav cut it to just say “Someone said” the same way that the first beat of Sicko mode was actually a song that Trav cut to the first minute

Giveon was listed as a feature when DLDT was released officially. Just wasn’t on the initial SoundCloud upload.

That might only be because by that time people knew who it was and Giveon released a project by that time and actually developed a pretty big fanbase

It was smart to keep his name off the track title at first. Forced people to search for him and listen to his own tracks. People heard the track and said

"Sampha "
"Oh no that guy is great lemme find out who it is "

Man what is you DOIN?

I get it but that’s why he should have credited giveon from jump. People gone listen cause it Drake. Don’t make people think its Sampha and its not

Its all good at the end of the day. that track was on the billboard top 10 for a while with his name credited and put a lot of people onto him

Still crazy drake wasnt credited on Sicko Mode

The first part of sicko mode was never a full song

My girl got hella into summer walker off the drake feature alone

Lil Wayne ranting is a better freestyle than most niggas whole discography today
