Relly’s back at it again with his weekly series (a lil late due to technical issues), but pure gold just the same. – Mel

Before I begin, any nigga wearing jean shorts right now needs to scroll to the top of the page, click X and vacate the premises immediately. My blogs are not for you or your evicted tenant attire.

Now while you’re over there waiting for her to respond to the DM you sent 6 days ago, there’s real shit going on in these streets b. Songs are getting ruined, albums are flopping, and mixtapes are being clicked and dragged feet first into recycling bins. All of these tragedies are happening because of one thing……The Wack Feature Disease. Do you know how many potential classic songs got ruined by a wack feature? DO YOU? Tons b, a whole goddamn bundle of em’. I still find myself wondering how dope Jay-Z’s “Success” track would’ve been if he had an extra verse and got rid of Nas. Or Kanye’s “So Appalled” without the RZA sounding like a nigga without life goals or a flat screen. I can go on and on but there’s really too many of these songs to name. If you look at this from a broad perspective, there’s mainly two
types of artists that allow these wack features to happen. So stand back, stop trying to guess your girl’s blackberry passcode, and allow me to break this down for the masses.

Now one of the most common artist suffering from the Wack Feature Disease are the ones thirsty for a hit record or just plain relevance. They’ll do a record with any name that’s buzzing and use them a crutch to make their record popular. There’s nothing wrong with that, but when you can tell the record was forced by the lack of chemistry the shit sounds completely wack.

You don’t necessarily have to be a wack artist to make it a wack feature. Look at Wale’s debut album for example. Who did his team get to feature on his first single? Lady fuckin’ Gaga. “Wale featuring Lady Gaga” doesn’t even sound right when you say it out loud. The label figured that, with such a huge buzz Lady Gaga had, she would help Wale land a smash hit record. Was that the case? Helllll to the fuck no. The song was a dud and his album flopped. The total opposite of what they thought that Lady Gaga feature was going to do. This is the type of shit that happens in the industry all the time. You niggas have got to stop doing tracks with artists for the sole purpose of keeping your name in the lime light. We gotta bring this bullshit to a complete stop with both feet on the brake pedal b. And that’s word to Kevin McCalister….Yes niggas, Kevin McCalister. The realest nigga alive.

Now if you slither down the struggle hallway and look over to your left you will find exhibit B. The 2nd most common artists in the industry suffering from the Wack Feature Disease. These rappers have people in their crew that have absolutely NO business being inside of a recording booth. They’re sweeping the nation with wack verses and ruining songs all across the land.

Almost every rapper with a crew has at least 1 rapper in it that can’t wait to get behind a mic and single handedly destroy a song. The rapper probably knows their man spits ice cold bars of pure torture, but that’s his man!
Like any real nigga of course when you get on you’re gonna try to put your boys on. But as nicely as I can put it….Keep those non rapping ass niggas away from your studio sessions b. Put them in a nice car, some expensive
jewelry and with a bad bitch. That’s IT! Just because you niggas used to skip study hall together does not mean you have to put him on your songs. Nobody wants to sit through a whole verse from some unidentified nigga with a durag and felonies. If it were me, I wouldn’t let them get on my songs, I’d get on theirs. Use the popularity your name has and help them by dropping a verse on one of THEIR records. Do NOT let them come a song of yours and ruin your shit.

Dear Rick Ross,
The streets would appreciate it if your studio had a restraining order against Gunplay. I lost count of all the scorching hot beats you rapped over, then had Gunplay come through and put out all the flames.

Dear Young Jeezy,
Your latest mixtape “The Real Is Back” could’ve been another classic my nigga. But you let Slick Pulla sneak in the booth and smother your whole project with verses only a fugitive could enjoy.

Dear Curren$y,
You’ve been one of my favorite rappers for the past few years so it’s only right that I look out for you dog. Fiend must be stopped. He doesn’t wanna help you he wants to ruin you. And you’re letting him do it 16 bars at a time.

Please do not confuse any of this with hate. I just want to see all my favorite rappers prosper, remain dope and stay away from women with fake verified checks in their bios. I’m trying to save you from the people in your crew who can make a hot song turn into trash with just 2 bars. I don’t want to see a rapper doing a song with a pop artist just so they can become relevant again. That’s all I ask b, that is all.

Aight, well I’m outta here, I’ve been on my 15 minute break for an hour and a goddamn half. Y’all be cool how y’all be cool.
