Unlike any other music genre, Hip-Hop thrives off guest appearances. Sometimes these collaborations are so plentiful, you end up forgetting whose album you’re listening to. Hit the jump for seven collaborations that your ass will never see before you die. And if you have, will never happen again.

Whatchu talkin’ bout, Gary?! In the clip, Arnold talks about his disdain for the man.
“They’re rude, they’re obnoxious. They’re not fun to be around.”

Here is Davy Greenburg’s documentary, Air Yeezy: Beyond The Hype. As the title suggest, the clip focuses on the release of Kanye’s Meteor Man’s Air Yeezy sneakers. I don’t know about you, but camping out for a shoe is dumb. Better yet, camping out for a Kanye West shoe is even dumber. And at $215 a pop, I’d rather buy a pack of bogeys here in the city.

“[This song] was made on my first album. Man, I just had a lot of mixed
emotions about the things that I had done in my past and the things I
had kept quiet about in my past and watched my partners do. And I just
always have had a sense of … I always felt like I was the one that
could keep bad things from happening. And for the road that me and my
homies had traveled, it had gotten us to, you know, a state of fame and
celebrity, but it cost us a lot. I mean, one of my partners is doing
life in prison right now. A few of my partners died along the way. And
I felt like if I knew better and didn’t say nothing, then I was the one
to blame.”
This week, I come clean on one of Jay-Z’s beloved tracks. Sorry YN, but fronting will get me nowhere.
Last Week: Hip-Hop Confessions: J Dilla Who?
It's pretty intense reading that Guru released a statement on his health while recovering. Hearing directly from a hip-hop icon after such a scary medical scare gives everyone a massive sigh of relief. You can tell he really values setting the record straight himself. It reminds me of how people want to look and feel their absolute best after going through tough times, whether that's overall wellness or even specific cosmetic refreshes like getting a Blepharoplasty Limassol routine done for a fresh look. Overall, seeing him send love to the fans shows his resilience, and we're all just hoping for a full, speedy recovery for the legend.
