dope thread, even tho I don't like most washed-up artists.
this is actually better for the newer guys mentioned tho. Kendrick, cole & lupe are all much better fits to be in groups, rather than being solo. they would do better in this setting, than what they do on most of their own chit.
group 1 is the best.
mannie fresh could mesh with all of those guys, and he would hold e-40's hand thru it and keep his corniness to a minimum.
daz can kinda mesh with all of them as well, and he can build off mannie like he did with dre.
always thought j.cole was wack, but I heard a few songs a month ago where he sounded like he was actually improving into being a good rapper, and that's with no hints of ghostwriting either.
for groups 2, 4 & 5, theres a production pick(or both picks) that ruin whatever chance they had to make it work.
group 3 has the most chemistry but would be a snoozer.
