I don't think a lot of you guys realize how dynamic this line-up truly is. This is filled with HipHop heavyweights like it or not.
Drake is an amazing rapper, and is so underrated by many people, especially on this site. His lyricism and flow is on another level (btw, I hope no one responds to this by saying "J.COLE CAN WHIP HIS ASS" like some other people on other forums I frequent), and he needs to get the respect for that. He's up and coming and his buzz is extremely strong. He deserves that, imo.
Kanye is another musical power. He has the most cross-over appeal than all of them except Em. He's a sick producer, a dope rapper, and a fantastic all around artist. Ego is on another planet, but that doesn't take away from his artistry.
Wayne is probably one of the most dominate rappers in the game today. Wayne used to be a freakin' Mixtape Monster, taking over most of the songs he did. He used to kill verse by verse (in a good way). After Drought 3 however (as I always say), his music declined while his ego began to get inflated. Now once in awhile you'll get a decent verse here and there. His music now is a toss up. But nonetheless he WILL bring buzz and he always does.
Slim will of course bring heat. I have hope in Marshall that he will try his best to rip this shit up. The more buzz for Mr. Mathers the better. This song will be great exposure. He'll show people he still has it (yet again after The Warning).
I can't wait for this track to turn out. I predict a Swagger Like Us level of work. Maybe even better.
