Andre 3000 Reveals Amazing Story of Feature on Frank Ocean’s Blond Album

Музыка

Full Article: hiphopdx.com/news/id.70714/ti...
André 3000 headlined the star-studded supporting cast on Frank Ocean’s 2016 album Blonde, helming “Solo (Reprise)” by himself with a typically dazzling verse that touched on police brutality, modern relationships and artists not writing their own lyrics (which many interpreted as a subliminal shot at Drake, whose alleged used of a ghostwriter surfaced during his 2015 feud with Meek Mill).

    I’m not hating but this happens far too often. Why do so many artists in hip-hop and pop release music without even informing the people who are on the song? I understand they have the legal rights to the vocals and can do as they please, but a little courtesy would be good. Especially for a release this big AND an Andre solo track

    For both content creators and for us just casual fans & listeners, it’s usually as a surprise for when they hear the track/album for the first time. Not knowing the features won’t hype up too much anticipation whereas going into the music blind leaves a pleasant surprise.

    Yeah despite andre3k didn’t mind not telling him, let’s say under the same situation, ain’t that somewhat disrespectful to the person, as an artist, by using his verse on another completely different beat without informing him in any sort of way at all. Things can turn out to an opposite direction where the artist has no intention to rap on the beat if it was the dropped version.
