Can a rap album stand on its own with no features? Just a single

Bump. This is a serious question. There are very few even moderately successful hip hop albums by a solo artist with absolutely no features.

I was trying to come up with examples of good hiphop records without features, closest thing I can think of is Illmatic, which just has like 2 minutes of features in its 39 minute runtime. Redman's Whut? The Album is basically featureless too, and it's solid for 51 minutes.

As for ABSOLUTELY no features I can't really find anything but it's probably just because it's fairly rare for a rapper to not bring some other people onto their records

only a handful can pull it off as masterfully

thats what i was thinking too

the fact is that most rappers are gonna have their peers that they know and like, so of course theres gonna be frequent collaboration, especially when the culture of hip hop makes it so ubiquitous

hip hop was the greatest when it was just straight boom bap and straight lyrics
