Feb 19, 2023 Collaborations, albums that should have come out at one time, and other similar things. Basically, things that could and in your opinion, should have been handled differently. I'll start: Jay Z & Future collab It's no secret that Jay is my favorite rapper. And Future is one of my favorites, even if I find a lot of his music very repetive. Especially production wise. However, at his best I like him a lot. When I heard they were gonna collab (Khaled made it happen of all people) I was pretty excited. Hearing them go bar for bar or trade verses, I was ready! But when it came out I was very dissappointed: Future didn't even have a verse and his hook was lazy and awful. Repeating the same sentence 15 times in a row, ugh. Jay was fine, and the beat was also kinda boring. Then we got... yes.. another one! Even with Beyoncé. Unfortunately, it was the same recipe. Very boring and repetive hook, no verse from Future. I doubt we get another, which is a bummer because I would have loved a classic collab. Kanye & Em - UTG remix For years Kanye and Em have had a huge fan.. well, stanbase. And still do. Everyone was hoping they would collab someday (like, an actual collab not production). Then, finally, it happens. Its a remix that didn't even feel like a collaboration. They simply remade the beat and put an Em verse on it. No ye verse, same hook. For the record I think ems verse was fine.. and I don't dislike the song.. but yeah this was not what I was hoping for. J Cole not putting Hov on Gods Gift Mr nice watch was... fine I guess. But when I heard Cole wanted him on Gods Gift, I would have loved to hear that. Wasted opportunity tbh. Aight, go!

Feb 19, 2023 No Carti and Uzi collab tape No Kendrick and Cole collab tape xxxtentacion and juice WRLD dying Cardi B taking too long to drop a second album
Feb 20, 2023 Definitely not missed 95% of their collabs are terrible due to their style being so different. Eminem spitting about gerbils in a--- holes does not mix well with hard gritty lyrics
Feb 20, 2023 Dr Dre and Ice Cube - Helter Skelter. This was in the final stages back in the 90's and if it's anything like the song Natural Born Killaz then it would've been an undeniable classic.
Feb 21, 2023 Wayne x Drake Wayne x Julez Wayne OG C3 leak Wayne prison stint Wayne production freeze during Birdman litigation
Feb 21, 2023 I think Super Slimey is good but not nearly as good as it should have been, it probably happened a couple years too late
Feb 22, 2023 Wyclef shi--ing the bed when he produced Can-I-Bus The botched handling of Yeah Baby. s--- like changing the name of the album and snubbing artists Pun wanted for people like Donell Jones. G.O.O.D. Music's ability to grow artists/ the way they handled Cyhi the Prynce. Dude had his debut ready forever and Kanye just let that s--- sit on the shelf. Carter V Detox Houston's rap scene failing to capitalize on Still Tippin due to beefs. Mike Jones/Michael Watts, Paul Wall/Chamillionaire, Slim Thug/Zro, Swishahouse mostly disbanding.
Feb 22, 2023 Nah. Em still rapping after 2003 is more accurate. Had he stopped after TES, we would have missed out on the 8 Mile soundtrack, his features on GRODT and the first 2 Green Lantern Invasion mixtapes.
