177. talk about songs ft. featuring

hi everyone, im going to talk more about songs today. and i'll be featuring featuring. you must be wondering what the hell im talking about. im going to talk about producers and other artists featuring on some other artist's songs.

10 years ago, artists mostly sing their own songs and rarely stick their mouth into other artist's songs. at most they have a duet, but rarely do they have featuring.

so what is featuring. featuring means getting yourself into a famous artist's song by saying somethings in it and then getting credit for it so that you become famous. this is such an easy way, why else would producers such as timbaland be so hot now.

here's some of timbaland's features with more famous artists:

akon should also be konvicted of such crap featurings. from 2004 to present, he has had 29 songs featuring him.

heck, come on, you just say some things in the songs like hayyah, or uhuh and you want to be featured in it? or you just add an opening speech to a song like jay-z to umbrella and you can get yourself featured? how easy is that?

jay-z's part in umbrella
"Ahuh Ahuh (Yea Rihanna)
Ahuh Ahuh (Good girl gone bad)
Ahuh Ahuh (Take three... Action)
Ahuh Ahuh
No clouds in my storms
Let it rain, I hydroplane in the bank
Coming down with the Dow Jones
When the clouds come we gone, we Rocafella
We fly higher than weather
And G5’s are better, You know me,
an anticipation, for precipitation. Stacked chips for the rainy day
Jay, Rain Man is back with little Ms. Sunshine
Rihanna where you at?"

ok so you have an opening speech and then you talk and talk and people aint know what you're talking about. i mean look at the lyrics? how many sentences there are relevant to the song itself? all you do is say almost irrelevant lyrics at the start and you want to get featured? what crap.

as such i shall dedicate a song to featuring.


A Capella (ft. Jay-Z, Timbaland & Akon)
Dedicated to: Artists who likes to be featured on songs
Lyrics edited by: DATF
Original song: Rihanna "Umbrella"


[some random wants to get famous producer]
Ahuh Ahuh (Yuh uh)
Ahuh Ahuh (Bad song gone worse)
Ahuh Ahuh (Take three... Action)
Ahuh Ahuh

No sounds in the front
Let me say, I wanna feature in this song
Coming down like the Dow Jones
An anticipation, for your precipitation. I know you sure can rhyme
Jay, Akon is back with little Timbaland
Hey where you’re at?

[finally my turn]
You sang my part
So I left my fart
Maybe in my own dreams
But you'll still be in the song
Baby cause in the dark
You can't see fame or cash
And that's when you need famous singers
Cause they will always let
You sing

When my sun shines, you can come sing together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said you'll always be a featurer
Took the wrong producer He’s bound to stick into my song
Now that he's featuring more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can sing your own A Capella
You can sing your own A Capella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
your own A Capella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
your own A Capella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
your own A Capella
(Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)

The foolish start, should not come in all
This song is part of my entity, here for infinity
When Jay-Z sang his part
When Timbaland mixed his part
If the song is blend, by featuring he'll mend that part
Because

When my sun shines, you can come sing together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said you'll always be a featurer
Took the wrong producer He’s bound to stick into my song
Now that he's featuring more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can sing your own A Capella
You can sing your own A Capella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
your own A Capella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
your own A Capella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
your own A Capella
(Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)

You can stick into my song
Just hope that it’s unharmed
Come here to me
There's a distance in between the verse
So go on and rap the crap more
I'll be all you need for fame
Because

When my sun shines, you can come sing together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said you'll always be a featurer
Took the wrong producer He’s bound to stick into my song
Now that he's featuring more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can sing your own A Capella
You can sing your own A Capella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
your own A Capella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
your own A Capella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
your own A Capella
(Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)

It's featuring
Ooh baby it's featuring
Baby come here to me
Come here to me
It's featuring
Oh baby it's featuring
