versus?

ver·sus ( P ) Pronunciation Key (vűrss, -sz)

Abbr. v. or vs. Against: the plaintiff versus the defendant; Army versus Navy.
As the alternative to or in contrast with: “freedom of information versus invasion of privacy” (Ian Hamilton).

If you mean "VS" being part as a title track of a song, most of the time its a mashup of 2 tracks.

"Vs" in a track title doesn't always denote a bootleg. Sometimes collaborations are titled "Artist vs. Artist".

Usually it's just a way to show that two artists collaborated.

vs., &, feat., etc. have all been used in this manner.

"feat." is usually used if the other part only had a small input, though. Or if that other person was the vocalist.

True... although I have seen cases where feat. was used and a minor contribution didn't seem to be implied. I just meant that various terms have been used to denote a collaboration and one shouldn't read too much into them.

Yeah, there's no real rule to them, people use them as they see fit (or what looks the coolest ).

Possibly the worst collaboration notation used thus far:
