What are some songs were a guest verse/feature was the best on the album?

Question

BQ: What are some songs were a guest verse/feature ruined an album?

For example, Tonedeff's guest feature on The Gates from Cunninlynguists' A Piece Of Strange comes to mind and I do think he had the best bars on the entire album. Also, Tony Yayo's guest verse on Runnin' from the Game's The Documentary pretty much ruined the album for me. It's hands down one of the worst raps/verse I've ever heard, and it literally dropped the album from a 4/5 to a 3-3.5/5. That's how much I hated that verse, not even a nice Hi-Tek beat makes me want to listen to that horrible verse by Yayo.

Answer 1

There He Go- Fabolous, Red Cafe, Paul Cain & Freck Billionaire, Red Cafe destroyed every verse Fab had on the album



We Takin Over- Lil Wayne had the best verse on 'We The Best' (Yes a Lil Wayne compliment in the RHH Section!)



BQ:

Whos Real- OJ Da Juiceman didnt really ruin 'The Last Kiss' but he for sure ruined the song big time

Answer 2

Interesting Question. A couple come to mind.



Big Boi on

"85" by Youngbloodz, Against The Grain



Styles P on

"Locked Up Remix" by Akon, Trouble



Black Thought and Talib Kweli on

"My Favorite Mutiny" by The Coup, Pick A Bigger Weapon. All their verses were great, but I think this song overshadows the album by being ridiculously sick.



BQ:

50 Cent on

"Take It To The Top" by Freeway, Free At Last

Answer 3

Two Gang Starr albums to mind,



Jeru the Damaja's verse on Speak Ya Clout from the album Hard to Earn

and

Inspectah Deck's verse on Above the Clouds from the album Moment of Truth





BQ: I thought Jay-Z's verse on "Pressure" (which was the only guest verse) was the worst verse on Lupe Fiasco's Food and Liquor album.

Answer 4

hi Hedzy, My fave album, via a nostril over Deadwing & In Absentia, is stupid Dream. in the previous each and every little thing my fave music from that became Piano instructions, yet now it shares appropriate billing (reckoning on my temper on the time) with Stranger via the Minute or perhaps much less. As a bass participant, on all 3 tracks i admire the bypass of the groove & the association, the ambience unique to each, and the typical overall performance. Melodic and obtainable, yet with a dash of pink Floydian/King Crimsonian sophistication, in step with danger.

Answer 5

Best on album - Kool G Rap's verse on The Realest is better than the rest of Murda Muzik (mobb deep) & Ka crushed Gza's Pro Tools album on Firehouse



cant think of one verse that could ruin a whole album.....



EDIT: Co-sign BKS on that Jeru the Damaja verse.....RIDICUOUS 'ill tap ya jaw... ya prolly heard it before'



EDIT again....after reciting that verse in my head like 10 times i realized i was talking about Jeru's verse on "Im The Man" - Daily Operation.....

Answer 6

R.A.'s verse on Renaissance by Hell Razah is one of my favorite verses of all time... and is the highlight of the album...



It doesn't ruin the album but Ill Bill ruins the song "DeLorean" on Fantastic Damage...

Answer 7

Jay-Z on the Linkoln Park Album was one of my favs.
