Colaborations & Co-writes

Why is it that in the world of hip-hop and r&b collaborations are so common, there's almost no artists who gets a track all to them self. These days you can't hear a song that isn't feat. T pain or Akon or Timberland.

Why aren't rock stars into sharing the mic for a track or two. Lord knows it isn't because the urban performers have some great humility and lack of ego. Maybe it's that sense of family that seems to be stronger with minorities.

*edit
-what I mean is that, in my experience the familial connection between non-blood related minorities tends to be stronger, than that of non minorities. It can probably be assimilated to finding someone from you state in another state while on vacation or away on a trip. There is a deeper connection than would be present otherwise.

It would be nice to see some pop/rock super stars track together outside of the "super ballad" or the occasional Santana album.
