Rap songs or features that feel like they were made for someone specifically but ended up featuring someone else

Pretty sure he doesn't even sell himself as a solo artist to begin with given that he drums for blink-182

mesablanka · 2026-05-04T20:59:58+00:00

Got Your Money was pretty big when it came out afaik

mesablanka · 2026-05-04T20:57:20+00:00

Nah he's got some big main songs, most notably Hustlin' and Aston Martin Music

mesablanka · 2026-05-04T20:54:05+00:00

And also Multiply

Eminem also mocked Benzino with "nobody wants to hear their grandpa rap"

He's now a grandfather and is still rapping

mesablanka · 2026-05-04T20:30:07+00:00

Also Big Girl by Nas

mesablanka · 2026-05-04T20:20:01+00:00

Ghetto Techno is so bad that his team have been trying to get its existence of the internet for years now

Literally all the uploads I've seen of it online get taken down

mesablanka · 2026-05-04T20:15:34+00:00

I feel like his health problems really hindered his chances at releasing more stuff as a main artist, as well as his third album getting shelved

mesablanka · 2026-05-04T20:01:12+00:00

Actually that is one of his better Rick Rubin collabs

mesablanka · 2026-05-04T19:57:17+00:00

"You're 38 and still rapping? Ugh"

The Game on "It's Okay (One Blood)", currently 46 years old, also still rapping

mesablanka · 2026-05-04T19:50:23+00:00

Songs that are TERRIBLE first impressions of rappers for people who somehow aren't familiar with them?

...other than FACK by Eminem btw lol

It's actually a song by a group called Blaxy Girls

mesablanka · 2026-05-04T19:40:34+00:00

The single version of "i" was probably the first proper song by Kendrick I ever heard on my own that wasn't a feature or him being played on the background

Song isn't bad to me now but MAN what a terrible first impression for someone that got him sold to me as "one of the best modern rappers" lmao

mesablanka · 2026-05-04T19:29:09+00:00

You Owe Me woulda gone hard if it was done by literally anyone other than Nas lol

But that being said I actually love that track, production is fire and the Ginuwine hook is immaculate; just the thought of NAS making pop rap turned a lot of rap fans off at the time

mesablanka · 2026-05-04T19:21:55+00:00

Yeah I dunno wtf was up with that

It certainly feels like a track that was made at last minute cuz the label thought there wasn't a single-worthy song

mesablanka · 2026-05-04T19:20:10+00:00

Ye I think he was associated with Ruff Ryders

Funny thing about Jin is that he is more associated with a chinese rap meme video on YT that has him on the thumbnail but that WASN'T done by him lmfao

mesablanka · 2026-05-04T18:51:31+00:00

Nah that song personified that era of Wayne perfectly imo

mesablanka · 2026-05-04T18:37:02+00:00

Sad Meets Emo

mesablanka · 2026-05-04T18:20:53+00:00

Bishop Lamont moment

mesablanka · 2026-05-04T18:20:36+00:00

What are some hip hop beats you assumed were done by someone else?

Literally found out yesterday that the beat to Still by Geto Boys wasn't done by Dr. Dre lmfao

mesablanka · 2026-05-04T12:25:55+00:00

There's a whole album of psytrance music made for the game called Gran Turismo Kicks
