it all depends, i would never buy an album for its features...
if your makin moves to get your name out ther and you got some big names up on it, fasho ill pick that up, but if your album was on tha shelf and i hadnt heard of you, na...features dont make you tight...
if your blowin up, get your area featured on your album, if you aint gonna hold it down for you town/city then whatever...people kno good music wen they hear it, you dont need a name to make it big...your hustle can do that for you

I feel like this....If you decide to go with features. Your 1st album should feature people who are making moves from your area. Your second album should feature people who are making moves from your region. Then on your third album maybe try and get a major(s) on there. I feel like if you got a bunch of major artists on your first album but you don't have a name in the streets consumers aren't gonna take you serious. I'm sure there are many other theories on the subject but this is my 2 cents....
I SAY IF U GOT THA MONEY TO GET MAJOR FEATURES,GET EM
IF U DONT JUST CONTINUE TO HATE ON THA CATS WHO DO....BOTTOM LINE....MUSIC IZ A BUSINESS...RIGHT NOW THA BUSINESS IZ ABOUT GETTIN HOT CLUB BANGERS,NEPTUNISH OR SAMPLE BEATS,AND GETTIN THA HOTTEST ARTIST AT THE TIME TO FEATURE...I MEAN WHEN IN ROME......

Fuck a feature! If you can't hold the mic on your own.......then hang it up. Features should compliment your record.....not MAKE your record.
Did spending $75-100,000 on Livio's album help him? Nope. Did he "blow up"? Nope. Did they lose a bunch of money? Yep.
You need to have a name and a strong following before you start making investments like that. I pretty much agree with Notes breakdown of the subject.
