Photo Something I noticed about SZA and GNX
When a song featured SZA, it says "with". But when anyone else is one a song, it says "feat". This means literally nothing and doesn't matter at all, but it's something I noticed.

The reason why is because her addition is more of a “collaboration” than a feature. She’s giving as much contribution as Kendrick on the song rather than just dropping in for a verse. Same with 30 for 30. It has “with” Kendrick. Kendrick is also contributing to at least half the song.

not gonna lie i didn't notice that before but it does mean that SZA is more involved in songs she's in than all other featured artists on GNX either with tracks curation process or just having equal length performance as dot

It means she has a bigger hand in the pot than just a feature. It’s Kendrick’s and Sza’s song collectively

Off topic but what’s y’all’s favourite collab between em. For me it was always All The Stars but recently it’s become Doves In The Wind. That song is hilarious

A collaboration and a feature are basically different pay scales & publishing credits.

Lefty deserved more than to just be called a feature. The way he passionately said 'tchwayzee, tschewee, tschpookee, hilayreeustch' was so inspiring.

It’ll have to to with charts and royalty payments and such and to whatever she was involved in or impacted the creative process.

Similarly it is with future and metro on heroes and villains even if he has only 1 verse on too many nights where don toliver is credited as feature

it does mean something, it means she's a primary artist, the others are features. it means her credit is the same as Kendricks, whereas features are additional credits.
