The flow on the lines “ And I remember my memory’s no sharp / Butter knife, what a life, anyway / I’m building y’all a clock, stop, what am I, Hemingway?” is just simply sumptuous. Kanye’s performance on Estelle’s biggest-ever single may be something a surprise inclusion (and, we know, ‘American Boy’ isn’t technically a rap song…) – but how can you dismiss such formidable lines as “ He crazy, I know what you’re thinking / Ribena, I know what you’re drinking” and the iconic “ Dressed smart like a London bloke / Before he speak his suit bespoke“? You can’t, that’s how.Īndré 3000 on Frank Ocean’s ‘Pink Matter’įrank’s ‘Channel Orange’ is a masterpiece – and who’d have thought that he’d be able to top it with ‘Blonde’? – but he nearly had the show stolen on his 2012 debut studio solo album by André 3000 on ‘Pink Matter’. Dre’s production – which brilliantly sampled Joe Cocker’s ‘Woman to Woman’ – and his tone-setting verse celebrating California are an example of pure, unadulterated G-Funk – and it’s still an absolute banger today. Dre on 2Pac’s ‘California Love’ĭre welcomed us all to “ the wild wild west” in a Mad Max-inspired video that came at the height of Death Row Records’ success. “ Tell me who you’re loyal to / Do it start with your woman or your man? / Do it end with your family and friends? How you loyal to yourself in advance?” We pledged our loyalty to Bad Girl RiRi after this sumptuous vocal performance on the ‘DAMN.’ track – and going bar-for-bar with Kung Fu Kenny on one of his own songs is no mean feat, either. Admit it: we’ve all tried (and failed) to do a rendition of Eminem’s tongue-twisting chorus at some point in our lives. It’s a perfect example of Em’s lyrical storytelling and humour, as well as Dre’s unrivalled skills in production and talent-spotting. Shortly after he signed to Interscope and released ‘ The Slim Shady LP’, Eminem came through for his mentor Dre to deliver one of the pair’s many golden collaborations. All together, now: “ Rawr! Rawr! Like a dungeon dragon!” One of hip-hop’s finest posse cuts, Busta dropped an A1 verse on the ‘Low End Theory’ track as he sent a powerful impact ( Boom! from the cannon) across the genre and beyond with his guest feature on ‘Scenario’.
