With the exception of more recent Contemporary R&B (as opposed to 50s and 60s R&B/Soul) and mainstream pop, Hip Hop seems to thrive on features in comparison with other genres, even other traditionally African American genres (which, by way of community, was my initial hypothesis on why it visibly features other artists, as opposed to just casually employing them in the more general liner note credits)

I sure don’t like featured artists on some albums. Like, Rakim’s solo albums had these. He’s “The Master”, the album is titled “The Master”. I did not buy that album to hear other rappers.
They work pretty well on Ice-T stuff.
Didn’t seem right on Gang Starr either.
Yeah I dig 90s rap. 🙂
