My Top 5 Jay-Z Features

Posted a status on FB last night that prompted me to do this post. Jay-Z is easily my favorite rapper and with a catalog 11 albums deep, he has a shit load of verses to go with em. Figured it would be easier for me to pick my Top 5 guest verses than my top 5 verses all together. No order. Side Note: Jay has a knack for getting that last verse and stealing the show

Light Up- Drake(2010)
I'm not the biggest Drake fan but he does have some dope tracks and Jay's verse on this track made it that much doper.



Diamonds Are Forever Remix- Kanye(2005)
I haven't met anyone that doesn't fuck with this track yet.


Go Crazy- Young Jeezy(2005)
Jeezy was that hot new cat signed to Def Jam that happened to get Jay's cosign and a feature when his first album dropped (See Rick Ross). He held his own and Jay does his thing.


4 Alarm Blaze- MOP(1998)
I wish MOP would have dropped that album on Roc-a-fella or even G-Unit. This track is ill.


Blackout- DMX(1998)
DMX & Jay have a list of dope collabos, throw The Lox in there and you have a classic track.

Wiz & Danny McBride in Complex

First off, that cover's dope as hell lol. Secondly, I planned on buying Rolling Papers but saw all of the negative reviews and had to download it myself(it's pretty meeeehhh). I might cop it, just to show support and checkout the booklet, but we'll see. Here's a behind the scenes look at his Complex interview with Danny McBride(jokes all throughout). Hit up complex.com to checkout the full interview.
