Top 10 Most Annoying Featured Artists in Songs
These artists have the ability to ruin an otherwise decent song with either their voices or their lyrics, or in many cases both, but seem to be featured on every single modern artist's album for some strange reason.
Christopher Maurice "Chris" Brown (born May 5, 1989) is an American singer, songwriter, dancer and actor. Born in Tappahannock, Virginia, he was involved in his church choir and several local talent shows from a young age. He is most well known for his physical assault towards the singer Rihanna in... read more Any time I see this clown's name appear on someone's album, it makes me less interested in listening to the album. I just don't see why every rapper thinks this guy's horrible autotuned whiny voice is appealing. I can't understand why every song with him on the hook becomes a hit.
One of the most successful artists in songs on the Hot 100 as a lead or featured artist with 95. Of course, if we specifically restrict it to songs that are utter trash, he could well be number 1 or 2, I would guess. Where would you guess?
Tyrone William Griffin, Jr., born April 13, 1982, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer. He first gained major recognition in 2010 for his feature on YG's "Toot It and Boot It", which he had written and produced for Def Jam Recordings. In the summer of 2013, he signed a record... read more This guy is terrible and can't sing at all. He's even worse than Chris Brown at singing and hardly has a big following, but still is used when Chris Brown or Jeremih aren't available, I guess.
Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar (born October 11, 1992), known professionally as Cardi B, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and actress. Born and raised in New York City, she became an internet celebrity by achieving popularity on Vine and Instagram. From 2015 to 2017, she appeared as a regular... read more She turned Girls Like You from a bland nothing song to something even worse. I changed my mind, although I still think her guest verse was pretty bad. I find the rest of the song so worthless that it actually somehow improves it. I'm glad that I don't listen to the radio and don't really have to hear any of the songs these artists are featured on.
Along with French Montana and Gunna, Cardi B is one of the worst rappers when it comes to features. Her worst feature ever was on Lil Nas X's Rodeo, where she ruined the song completely. The only decent feature she has ever done was on No Limit.
Karim Kharbouch, better known by his stage name French Montana, is an American rapper. Born in Morocco, he immigrated to the United States with his family when he was 13 years old. What did Puff Daddy ever see in this guy? Probably one of the worst rappers in the game. In a modern age where talent matters less and less, barely anything changes lyrically or subject-matter wise. Why did he call himself French Montana if he is not part French and not from Montana? Perhaps we will never know. Also, I can't stand his excessive ad-libbing.
This man is the king of ruining people's songs with his boring and uninspired verses. He ruined both the Work and No Limit remixes.
Jeremih Felton, better known by his mononym Jeremih, is an American singer, songwriter, and record producer. In 2009, he signed a record deal with Def Jam Recordings. This guy hasn't had a hit in years but still appears on so many rap songs as a feature, even though his voice is so boring and is just a combination of other singers.
This guy is an outdated banana split.
Amethyst Amelia Kelly, born June 7, 1990 known professionally as Iggy Azalea, is an Australian rapper, singer, songwriter, and model. I don't know who would actually think that getting Iggy Azalea as a feature is a good idea.
Who would honestly want to feature this untalented, nasal woman?
Bill K. Kapri is an American rapper better known by his stage name Kodak Black. He is noted for his singles "Roll in Peace", "Tunnel Vision", and "No Flockin", as well as his numerous legal issues. This man did the worst featured verse of all time on A Boogie wit da Hoodie's Drowning and ruined the great song with his terrible bars about farting.
This guy has an even worse voice than Travis Scott, but thankfully isn't used as much.
Quavious Keyate Marshall, known professionally as Quavo, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter and record producer. He is best known as a member of the former rap trio Migos. Another autotune-abusing moron.
Jacques Webster, better known by his stage name Travis Scott, is an American hip hop recording artist, record producer and musician from Houston, Texas. While Travis makes great music when he is the main artist, his features in 2019 have not been great. Both his features on Chopstix and Celebrate were pretty bad.
I like the boy Travis Scott, but he's way better as a main artist than a feature. His features in 2019 have been his weakest ones yet. *cough cough* Chopstix *cough cough*
"Yeah!" "Oh my God!" "It's lit!" "Straight up!" Jesus, just shut up already! I can't stand Travis, if you couldn't tell.
Miles Parks McCollum, known professionally as Lil Yachty, is an American rapper, singer and songwriter. Yachty first gained recognition in August 2015 for his singles "One Night" and "Minnesota" from his debut EP Summer Songs. He released his debut mixtape Lil Boat in March 2016.
Gunna is like Lil Baby from Walmart. While Lil Baby is not a great rapper, Gunna takes it to a whole new level with his boring vocals and lazy lyrics. In every song he features on, he sounds exactly the same.
Gunna is a Walmart and watered-down Young Thug with no personality. Who knows why he's on so many songs when he's so boring?
Aubrey Drake Graham, known professionally as Drake, is a Canadian rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer and actor, born on October 24, 1986 in Toronto, Canada. He started his career on Canadian reality show "Degrassi: The Next Generation". He's pretty generic, but overall he has saved more songs than ruined them, like No Stylist.
Karla Camila Cabello Estrabao, or professionally Camila Cabello (born March 3, 1997) is an American-Cuban musician. Camila was best known for being part of the girl group Fifth Harmony. Fifth Harmony are known for songs like Worth It, Work From Home, All In My Head (Flex), Bo$, and Sledgehammer. Camila... read more
Onika Tanya Maraj, known professionally as Nicki Minaj (born December 8, 1982) is a Trinidadian/American rapper / pop music artist. Minaj is most known for her songs such as "Anaconda", "Super Bass", "Starships" and her feature on "Bang Bang"... read more There was one point in time when she was featured in almost every song. It was terrible.
Oh yeah, she sucks. I can't believe I forgot her.
Robyn Rihanna Fenty is a Barbadian-American pop singer. Born in Saint Michael and raised in Bridgetown, she first entered the music industry by recording demo tapes under the direction of record producer Evan Rogers in 2003. She ultimately signed a recording contract with Def Jam Recordings after auditioning... read more T.I.'s Live Your Life would've been a perfect song if it wasn't for her annoying autotuned vocals. And don't even get me started on that overplayed Love the Way You Lie. That was the most overplayed song of summer 2010.
Aaah man, here we go again! She should just concentrate on her business or businesses. Torture to my ears I don't need.
Blow your nose, although it won't make a difference! Simple mathematics.
Jeffrey Lamar Williams, better known by his stage name Young Thug, is an American rapper from Atlanta, Georgia. He became known for his commercial debut single 'Stoner', as well as other songs such as 'Check', 'Digits', and 'Best Friend'... read more Who on earth could think that he makes a song more appealing?
Justin Drew Bieber (born March 1, 1994) is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and record producer. He currently resides in Ontario, Canada and is Christian. He is the son of author Pattie Mallette... read more Justin Bieber hasn't featured much recently, but his verse on the Bad Guy remix was unbearable.
Keri Lynn Hilson is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. She was born and raised in Decatur, Georgia and spent most of her youth working with producer Anthony Dent as a songwriter and background vocalist for several R&B and hip hop artists. She was good on The Way I Are by Timbaland, but mostly everything else she was on, her voice was annoying and squeaky.
Her only good feature was on The Way I Are, and everything else was irritating.
Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr. is an American rapper from New Orleans, Louisiana. He was discovered by Brian "Baby" "Birdman" Williams at a very young age, and was signed to Cash Money Records, where he would be one quarter of the rap group Hot Boys. In the years to follow, he would go on to find his own... read more
Gerald Earl Gillum, better known by his stage name G-Eazy, is an American rapper, songwriter and record producer from Oakland, California. G-Eazy is not awful, honestly. He just lacks so much character, has no personality, or is just uninteresting.
This guy is just a very bland and uninteresting combination of many other better rappers.
G-Eazy's verses are not really bad, but they are very forgettable, and he lacks personality.
Normani Kordei, also known as Normani Hamilton or just simply Normani, is an American singer and dancer from the girl group Fifth Harmony. She is known for her soulful renditions of popular songs such as Drake's "Fake Love" and Tory Lanez's "Say It." In 2018, she released her first official song outside... read more She is honestly very underwhelming. The only reason they are putting her in songs is so she can get a big hit. That's why she's credited as one of the main artists rather than "featuring."
Tauheed Epps, known by his stage names 2 Chainz and formerly Tity Boi, is an American rapper from College Park, Georgia, and is often regarded as one of the most mediocre rappers of recent years. He started out in the southern rap duo Playaz Circle with fellow rapper Dolla Boy, before he would become... read more He ruined "Don't Bring Me Down" by 8Ball. His lyrics were alright, but his voice was so annoying, and he ruined the chill vibe of the song. He was better when he was in Playaz Circle, but even then he had some bad lines.
This guy sucks and he refuses to grow up. The guy is in his 40s and keeps making songs like a 16-year-old.
Shawn Corey Carter, known by his stage name JAY-Z, is an American rapper, record producer, entrepreneur and investor born on December 4, 1969 in Brooklyn, New York. He is best known for his albums Reasonable Doubt, The Blueprint, and The Black Album. He is considered to be one of the best rappers of... read more Second most overrated rapper ever. Second only to Eminem, but at least Eminem can actually rap.
Ashley Nicolette Frangipane, known by her stage name Halsey, is an American singer and songwriter. She was born on September 29, 1994 in New Jersey. She started her career by releasing songs on SoundCloud, and now she is a well-known pop singer with hits like Bad at Love, and Now or Never. She had originated... read more Halsey sounds like a dying autotuned horse and ruins most of her features.
