10 Rap Songs RUINED By the Features - Duration: 14:14.
(Intro)
Hey guys, CDTV here and today we're gonna be looking at 10 great rap songs that were
ruined by a featured artist. So yeah, this list will
be focussing on 10 times when a feature made a song noticeably worse, in some cases even
making the song unlistenable. So with that being said, this is CDTVProductions, my social
media accounts are down here, and let's look at 10 great rap songs ruined by the feature.
10 - Royce Da 5'9" "Caterpillar Remix" - The feature: Logic
This one seemed like it couldn't go wrong honestly. It has Logic, a rapper I love. The
original is an amazing song that had Eminem in Logic's spot. And Logic promised his
hardest feature verse he's ever done on Twitter with this one. Even Royce Da 5'9"
hyped it up. And then Logic spent half of his verse going on a tangent about not being
a white rapper and people's perception of his race. Sigh. He even for some reason, kicks
off this tangent by saying "why is everyone obsessed with my race". THEY'RE NOT. They're
memeing the fact that you talked about it so much on your Everybody album, the memes
didn't materialize from nothing. If this was supposed to counter criticisms of Logic,
it absolutely failed. Some of the stuff he says makes sense to a degree, but the delivery
is so awkward and painful. Aside from that, he also says other rappers are scared to talk
about depression and anxiety, which, to put it bluntly, is just false. Depression has
always been a huge topic in rap, even in the mainstream. It's not all bad, he actually
spits hard bars for a minute or so and that's why it's the lowest one on this list, but
he completely ruined it with the whole race tangent that everyone was absolutely sick
of by this point.
9 - Chance the Rapper "Smoke Again" - The feature: Ab-Soul
I hate to say that Ab-Soul ruined a song because
I love his music, but "lemme put my mouth where you potty boo" is one of the most
cringe worthy lines I've heard in my lifetime. I love the rest of this song, I think it's
really cool to hear Chance pull off a banger track whilst still having a lot of fun, and
his "lean all on the square, that's a f*****g rhombus" line was really creative.
It would've been cool if Soul could've came in and matched that with some creative
lyrics while still maintaining a fun atmosphere, but I really don't think he did. There's
just so many lyrics on here that could best be described as basic such as "we kicked
it then I scored, Soccer game" and "no doubt like Gwen Stefani's group", and
it kinda brings down the vibe of the track for me. I love Soul, but I'm just not a
fan of what he did here.
8 - Drake "Preach" - The feature: PARTYNEXTDOOR
So this song kicks off with the instrumental playing incredibly quietly, you can barely
hear anything. As you can imagine, this makes you listen in closer, maybe you even turn
the volume up a few notches just to hear what's going on. Then, all of a sudden, out of fucking
nowhere at a pitch that will rip your ears apart. Jesus Christ man, could we at least
have been given a bit of warning. Now maybe this is just PARTYNEXTDOOR's style, but
I'm really not to keen on the drenched in autotune sound that his vocals have here,
and considering he does the chorus and has a verse as well, that's not great. I much
prefer what Drake does on this song, his calm, kinda monotone delivery works perfectly with
a beat like this and his flow is cool too. I'm not the biggest Drake fan, but this
song would be a lot better without PARTY in my opinion.
7 - A$AP Rocky "Telephone Calls" - The feature: Playboi Carti
I've got this one lower because Playboi Carti doesn't really play a significant
role on this track, but his verse slows down the track enough for me to be bothered by
it. The beat absolutely bumps, Rocky puts in a strong performance, and Tyler has one
of the best verses he's laid down here in my opinion, but Playboi Carti's bit was
just so unnecessary in my opinion. I really could do without 15-20 seconds of Carti ad
libbing and delivering the least inventive lines he can think of, I just honestly feel
like he doesn't need to be on here. If you feel like his verse adds to the hype of the
song, that's great, I'm glad you enjoy it, but for me personally, it did not need
to be in the song at all.
6 - Jamil Cole "The Cut Off" - The feature: kiLL edward
This one is a bit odd to include, because to some
capacity, kiLL edward isn't really a feature as it's just Jafar Cole's alter ego, but
I'm counting it because he is labelled as a feature, and his segment of the track does
ruin it in my opinion. Cole's verse is fantastic here honestly, talking about wanting to cut
off friends who just abuse his trust and use him. He even talks about how he sometimes
fantasises about hurting these people for how they betrayed him, but he knows that's
not the right thing to do and he'll let karma do it's work on them. Fantastic subject
matter, but the hook of the song is done by kiLL Edward and the vocal effects he has on
his voice completely destroy his appeal for me. It's almost impossible to not sound
off key with those effects, and that's how kiLL edward sounds on the pre-chorus and chorus
of this song. Top this off with the fact that he handles most of this track instead of Cole,
and that stops me from listening to this track that often at all. The concept behind the
character of kiLL edward is great, but I'd be perfectly satisfied if he didn't make
a return.
5 - Earl Sweatshirt "Pre" - The feature: SK La' Flare
This verse right here. I'm not lying to you when I say this single verse is the reason
I immediately turned off Sweatshirt's Doris album instantly the first 5 times I tried
to listen to it, and I didn't revisit it for years. That's partially to do with me
being more closed minded towards new albums 5 or so years ago when this dropped, but SK
La' Flare also just really has a bad verse. I don't know what the thought process was
behind having this as the opening verse on Earl's album. I don't know if SK actually
raps often, or if they just thought this would be an entertaining way to open up the album
and mess with some fans, but it's just incredibly off-putting. He uses this really dead end
flow that never picks up and just sounds stilted, and of course it's got more than its fair
share of simplistic lyrics. Then consider the fact that his verse is over 30 seconds
longer than Earl's on this track and it just seems really unnecessary.
4 - Kendrick Lamar & Jay Rock "King's Dead" - The feature: Future
Everyone knows this one, and I do appreciate the memes that came out of this, but I'd
be lying if I said it didn't make the song a lot worse. It made me laugh my ass off when
I first heard it, I'll admit that, but this song doesn't seem like it was made to be
laughed at. Jay Rock came in with a hard verse, Kendrick Lamar killed it on the hook and after
the beat switch, but Future... I don't know what Future was doing. I guess I can't fully
hate on it because it made the song more popular than it already would've been, but the la-di-da-di-da
part of the song is so laughably bad, it sounded like his vocal chords were about to snap.
On top of that, I'm just not a huge Future fan so I wasn't too excited to see him listed
as a feature in the first place. Like I said, this is fun to laugh at, but I really feel
like it messes with the whole energy and mood of the song, and that's the opposite of
what you wanna do with a guest verse.
3 - Eminem "Amityville" - The feature: Bizarre
I explained the main problem I have with some of Bizarre's rapping in an old video of
mine, but in case you haven't seen it, it's basically the fact that he raps about the
same type of content as eminem, but without much of the wittiness or intelligence behind
it. Eminem says some brutal stuff, but there's commonly a purpose behind what he says, whereas
Bizarre is just pure shock value for no reason other than to shock, and that is shown in
full force on his verse here. He talks about k***ing and r***ng family members, having
his little sister gang raped on her birthday, just really shocking shit but with no smartness
to it. Then the fact that Eminem's third verse here is so ridiculously strong just
makes Bizarre's low energy verse even less impressive than it already is. It just comes
off as him trying to hard to surprise people more than anything.
2 - A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie "Drowning" - The feature: Kodak Black
Goddamn man, I almost love this track and it actually would
have been amazing if the hood version of Lisa Simpson didn't show up to ruin the party.
For almost every rapper on this planet, I can see their appeal and why some people might
enjoy them, but Kodak is always one that confuses me. The way he slurs his words with his very
strange, baby sounding voice puts me off every single time I hear a verse from him. It's
a shame, because A Boogie kills this in my opinion, he rides that piano melody perfectly
and his flow is something that really sticks with you..... then Kodak says "I'm the
s***, I'm fartin', I don't know how to potty". Do you see why this ruins the
song for me!? I wanna replay this song a lot, I want to have it on repeat, but it's such
a hassle when I have to constantly skip it after the 2 minute mark. Kodak has like one
line on here that sounds pretty slick, but everything else is just something I cannot
listen to and enjoy. A Boogie, I'm begging you, drop a solo version of this track. I
need it.
1 - A$AP Ferg "East Coast REMIX" - The feature: French Montana
Busta Rhymes? HE WENT HARD
A$AP Ferg? HE WENT HARD
Rocky? - HE WENT HARD
Dave East? - HE WENT HARD
Rick Ross? - HE WENT HARDER THAN USUAL
Snoop Dogg? - EVEN THE CHILLEST MAN ON EARTH WENT HARD
Surely you knew at the start of this list that French Montana would be number 1 right?
There really is no other competition, there's so many songs that he has absolutely ruined
and this track is the one that hurts the most for me personally. As you can tell from what
I just said, every single other rapper on this track did a great job on their verses.
French Montana was the only one that stood out as bad, completely murdering the momentum
of the track and slowing it down to a crawl. The worst part is, he appears on the track
right after Dave East, who just maybe had my favourite verse on this song with his aggressive
tone. French didn't follow it up well at all. His flow couldn't be any more uninspired,
and you just can't give a weak verse over a hard ass beat like the one found on this
song. Out of all the people Ferg could've chosen to feature on this track, French should've
been the last on that list, and his verse here proves that.

Flying car in Fortnite! - ATK Glitch! - Duration: 5:55.
First my recordings from the PC, then Korni's recordings from the ps4. since everything went very fast, there was no time to adjust the sound, that's why you only hear Korni on my recording and only me on his.
A random player used a RIFT-TO-GO and teleported the ATK upwards, in this case my friend Korni got in and so the magic began!
I only started the recording again because the ATK flew under the map, unfortunately you can't see that here.
I didn't insert the Pokemon music at all, a playlist was running in the background while I was playing and it was recorded.
Sorry, if the artist didn't want the music to be used, I can also delete the video, link to the song is of course in the info!
Hopefully you had fun with a flying ATK.

when this water turns bitter tell me how are we to survive.. angry black unescapable
all hope you have deprived but transcendant his abilities not dependent are our mentalities
True love true love from up above sheds light his love ...free love
Paid the price for my life God sacrificed , God sacrificed
But you rather pay admission to a fool's paradise
cry me a river when it's all over..
when you realize your wrong
cry me a river the third seals broken
This time I won't tag along
Blood Water

Blood Water, tainted by the father
Not the ones above but the one who calls us daughters
Greed deeds, they breed us then leave
The mothers remain but towards vanity concede
Blood water sons, stuck to a pattern of chasing guns
Our weakness will lead us to demons that seize us
and keeps us under

BBR 2018 - The Chaosists - Duration: 5:17.
To reach the Great Freedom beyond the lights of the stars - the place of eternal bliss where all becomes one
the pure form of the primordial chaos, you must learn the secrets of the Tormentor - the fabrics of which He built this misbegotten cosmos.
Before the first Storm, the Arch-Viles gathered the blueprints of the three Keys – Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
and stored them in the Vaults of Erebus to remain through the generations
chained within mortal flesh – vessels of the profound knowledge they held.
So vast was their data that they completed all three Keys
and thus unlocked the ninth, tenth and eleventh seals
in so doing opening wide the Gates to Hell, unleashing the First Apocalypse.
The lands where disintegrated in nuclear fire, ash descended upon the world.
We merged the two planes of the Demiurge's world – we molded it into a radioactive fusion of Hell.
Then the Arch-Viles unleashed the Pandemics – anti-life bodies of microbes serving as the scythe of the soul reaper across the plains.
Living flesh screamed and died in pain and suffering, the last hopes of the Demiurge frantically trying to keep their souls imprisoned.
Such were the Pandemics, and they were unleashed after the nuclear annihilation of the massive urban centers.
And the last of the three Glories were the Agents – warped versions of the Tormentor's stabile molecules and nuclei.
A chaotic affront to all He holds dear.
They were unleashed across the great oceans – they rode upon the winds in aerosolic triumph
and exterminated all life they embraced.
But it did not destroy all Creation
for great was His tenacity.
The Arch-Viles miscalculated how much chaos was needed to end everything
and so, tiny bits of the world survived, and has slowly started to recover into the hell-state it was after the first nuclear detonations.
Our ancients succeeded in making His creation irreversibly injured.
But I know this is not enough.
As a new day dawn, the anguish continues.
As a new fetus mature inside a mortal creator
another soul is torn from its free form and its connection to the True Flame of Chaos is severed.
The Storm affected us too.
The Vaults inside Mount Erebus were lost, their contents scattered to the four winds.
But I will find the blueprints once more.
They are lingering in the ruins of Research Facilities, in the hands of Technocrats
and even amongst the scab-infected scum of the wasteland.
I will forge the keys anew, and I will attain full gnostic knowledge
before I unlock the keys whom my ancestors used too eagerly before me
I will know when the time has come.
I am the last Arch-Vile
the Terminus of the Endless Cycles
and after me, there is no dawn
or no dusk.
No life or death.
Only emptiness.

Let's Play GOOKA 2: the Mystery of Janatris |68| - The Great Hunt {EN} - Duration: 10:10.
Cutscene of four models moving at the same time! Oh gosh!
I didn't have to backtrack again, excellent.
I can move? Yeah, I can.
Umm... guys? Did a cutscene break?
I didn't push any button. I swear, game!
Can't really talk to them.
I don't remember what entrance it was. Also I just tried to use TAB to open a map. Something this game doesn't have.
I could try getting inside without anything to put the blood into to show you that the game doesn't allow you to.
I really shouldn't sell this...
According to the game I cannot try that anymore. I don't even remember where did I get that bottle.
Where the hell was that entrance?
They all look the same.
Searching for the Kaigani Cave.
About the stroboscopic effect mentioned in past videos - basically if you have lights running at the same frequency as a machine with moving parts, like some industrial cutter, it might appear as if the moving parts are not moving (to our eyes), but they are.
Gerhan!
They couldn't code the NPCs to follow, so Gooka just yells them to enter an area. :D Also what the hell is this? I don't know, but it has no collision, so I can go straight through.
Wait, I can go back outside? Will the game crash? :D
Actually there hasn't been hardly any crash. Many other people have problems with it crashing. Not me, it seems.
Guard here, so that kaigani won't surprise us! I will be back in a moment!
Bye! *screaming sounds and suffering*
You know when the blue guy said he will have some royal guard with him for the hunt, I didn't expect it to be the guy with the eye irritation.
Gather the blood of kaigani - We have found a kaigani lair.
Now we have to hunt it down inside these corridors and defeat him, with the help of acidic stalagmites or without.
After we defeat it, I will get his blood, the last ingredient for the Brantani cure!
That interface for a journal sucks donkey balls.
Let me choose a way randomly. This way.
Of course that was the correct way.
That's it, kaigani! Let's attack!
He looks cut... well, the guard is dead. :D
He doesn't look particulary strong.
I would like to keep everyone alive, and also explore the other way... which leads nowhere.
Let's go back into the central room.
What lies further beyond I wonder?
Another blind end. So it looks like I've guessed the correct route on first try.
Which is actually quite a bad thing in RPG games.
Why is everything here in an ancient greek / roman style?
*SIGH*
I am going to try doing this without anybody dying.
It might be quite hard, since this game is so.... complex.
How is it that he starts before everyone else while he has the same speed as most of our guys?
And for some reason mouse overing over the Guard shows stats for Captain Kalender.
One more try. This game is so stupidly made that it might not be even possible at this point.
Could I start? Not Kalender, that is the one person that I know levels up.
I will probably fast forward this.
Well well well. 4 points of health remaining! :D
Well, I cannot cast the Mirror spell on him, because only Kalender can cast it.
I need to stun him.
Game, are you screwing with me? Over half of the kaigani's body selects Gerhan instead?!?!?!
This game can be so retarded sometimes...
He has Dispel as a spell.
Let's buff.
And he is now weak as sh.it.
Actually his strength is higher than it should be in my opinion. Due to how "strength spells" work, which can sometimes be quite nonsensical.

5 Ways to Rebuild Trust After It's Broken - Duration: 7:32.
5 Ways to Rebuild Trust After It's Broken
Laurie and Frank were high school sweethearts.
They married young because Laurie became pregnant and, being Catholic, any other choice was
out of the question, so he decided to do the right thing.
It wasn't that he didn't love her—he did, but over time, Frank longed for his lost
youth.
You can see where this is going and it's not good.
Laurie worked full-time to put Frank through college and law school.
He worked long hours and she stayed home with the kids.
As his success rose, they began to lead separate lives.
He and his buddies would routinely frequent strip clubs after work and occasionally bust
out for a Vegas trip which inevitably did not stay in there.
One night after Frank arrived home drunk and passed out on the sofa, Laurie came across
text messages from one of the girls wanting to hook up and that was the start of their
particular fandango.
At first, he denied it, and then he became indignant, and finally contrite, sad and terrified
that he would lose her.
Frank realized what she meant to him, but Laurie worried incessantly every time he went
out and would give him the third and fourth degree when he arrived home.
Inevitably, a huge row would ensue, only to end in an icy standoff that would last for
days.
Laurie's trust in Frank was shattered, and there was no turning back.
They were lost in a sea of suspicion and secrecy.
Trust is the bedrock of what makes relationships work.
It is the fundamental process of love and intimacy.
When trust goes, what goes with it are safety, security, respect, love and friendship, replaced
by anger, insecurity, anxiety, fear; the aggrieved person becomes like the police, the FBI, and/or
the CIA.
Distrust causes spouses to look through cell phones, check emails, and ask endless questions
about "Where have you been and who were you talking to?"
Life becomes laced with arguments, large and small, about what is really going on, rather
than taking what is said at face value.
In the intervening thirty or so years of doing therapy, there is not a thornier issue than
the loss of trust, in whatever form it may take.
Trust can be lost through lies, rage, violence, drug and alcohol abuse, and, most prominently,
sexual infidelity.
Once it's lost, there is usually a Humpty Dumpty effect: hard to put it back together
again.
Usually the behaviors that created the distrust are difficult to change, because they are
complex and convoluted.
These little critters skip and jump through our system like ciphers popping up in unexpected
places, while giving our mind the best of reasons to be doing whatever it is that our
bodies are pushing for.
The body certainly does vote, and when it comes to sex, nothing is more powerful.
I have seen very wealthy and powerful people literally spending millions of dollars on
sex, drugs, and rock and roll—all the while being in the midst of a marriage with children.
The level of guilt is staggering enough to kill a herd of horses, but it generally does
not stop the offender.
The reasons why men or women cheat are multifaceted.
They can range from loneliness, poor self-esteem, cultural entitlement, arrogance and/or sexual
issues within the marriage or relationship.
Our society is also rife with willing males and females who know full well that a roll
in the hay will quintuple what they could otherwise earn, not to mention shoes, jewelry,
apartments and cars.
It says something about our world and the steady decline of moral imperatives.
That being said, it's trust that is the biggest loser.
Once trust has been lost, what can we do to get it back—if anything?
1.
Coming clean does work—but not completely clean.
Denial only leads to more distrust, so the truth has to come out along with the willingness
to take responsibility for your actions.
However, detailed truth can sometimes make the hurt even worse and compound the pain,
and therefore the healing process.
Couples can spend tons of time on details while losing the thread of what needs to be
done to correct the misconduct.
2.
Being defensive, righteous or casual about the problem never works.
There must be a sincere effort to work out the issues, or the wall will never come down.
The angrier you are, the less you are able to hear what the aggrieved one has to say,
and the worse what they feel will get.
3.
Talk about what made you do it.
Opening up about your own struggle, the need to get help, and the awareness of what got
you there in the first place will help to prevent further infractions.
If there is a sexual addiction problem, you must be willing to attend SA (sexual addiction)
meetings or do what is necessary to make it better.
If there is loneliness in the marriage, take the initiative to make an appointment with
a counselor.
Talking about your feelings of alienation is the best way to connect again.
4.
Be an open book.
That means open your cell phone, email, and appointment book for a period of time.
This is usually the hardest part, because any person who has lived that clandestine
underground life of secrecy likes it that way.
They feel entitled to privacy, and they become righteous and indignant.
At this point, you will need to take a moment and ask yourself what is really important:
your relationship or your privacy?
It really comes down to that.
5.
Renew your vows.
Whether married or not, there is a need to discuss values about living life and what
that entails.
This may be the most important part of the process.
Take time to talk about what you want, what got you into this mess, and what needs to
happen moving forward.
Write it all down and make a ceremony out of it.
Invite your friends and family.
Tell the world what you are going to do and mean it.
For Laurie and Frank, it was too late.
Frank had gone too far, with too many areas to correct what had gone wrong.
Had they talked about it sooner, there may have been a reckoning, but too much water
had gone under their relationship to make it work.
I think Frank did learn a tremendous amount about how to live with another person and
about who he wanted to be.
For Laurie, the wounds were deep and it will take time for her to trust anyone again.
A word here to all those people out there who are contemplating something strange: there
are a lot of people who are hurt by the actions of destroying trust.
Renewing trust is not just a decision—it's a lifestyle change.
It's about coming home to yourself and your mate, and making it work.
Keeping a relationship clear and open is a valuable process.
When we lie, cheat, steal and do bad things to ourselves or others, we pay the ultimate
price, and we lose what is most precious to us.
If you need help, get it.
If you need a change, then make it.
Creating trust is a big deal, so treat it that way.
There are many facets and turns in this very delicate and daunting process of trust.
If it's not dealt with properly, then it will torch your relationship until what remains
are ashes and regret.
If you can look at the restoring of trust as a learning process that will hopefully
bring with it greater intimacy and love, then go ahead on.
If not, then make other plans.
