I'm never certain how I want to put the artist in WMP. Like for instance, let's just use this Gucci Mane CD

 

now I tend to credit the artist as Gucci Mane & DJ Drama. Though I notice most people would just credit Gucci Mane -- including reviewers. I mean, I like the idea of just crediting him, it really is him doing the rapping and let's be honest DJ Drama and similar DJ's nowadays are really just hosts. They act more like independent labels than traditional DJ's. But at the same time, his name is on the cover.

What do you guys do? (I'm guessing I'll get like several "not listen to Gucci Mane cuz he sux rarz!!!!!!!! answers before anyone actually answers for real but.......)

Just by the rapper.

I don't tend to put a lot of my stuff on the computer, but when filing it on the CD/vinyl racks, I personally tend to classify everything by whatever it is that ties it into the thing that ties together my interest in it. So for example all of my Sonic Youth related stuff comes under Sonic, arranged by issue date, regardless of what it says on the cover, all of my John Zorn stuff goes together, and so on. Or with a hip-hop example, all of my Talib Kweli and Mos Def stuff, together or solo, goes under Black Star. So I guess by that logic do it by rapper, assuming that you're primarily interested in say Gucci, rather than DJ Drama.
