Reminiscent of the “Swagger Like Us” Rap Pack we have another rap quartet on this cut. I’m loving these collaborations because we are seeing the evolution of the battle. Back in the day rappers would go back and forth on different tracks. Nowadays we get the best on the same song with the same beat and the comparisons are inevitable but so is the camaraderie.

And the results?

1. Kanye West (Metaphors for days and pop-culture references keeping it fresh!)
2. Eminem (All I can say is that Eminem came with it. It’s nice to know he’s still got it. Just as he says “He’s wondering if he should spit this slow, f*#@ no, go for broke.” He definitely did.)
3. Weezy (This may go down as the best third verse I’ve ever heard on a track. He said “I will never stop, like I’m running from the cops, hop up in my car and tell my chauffeur to the top!”)
4. Drake (A talent for sure, but he’s still refining his style and delivery.)
