Fav Singer/Rapper Collabo's

I was just thinking how some of my fav songs have been collabo's with singers and rappers I don't listen to alot of Rap, but I do love some of the collabo's Some of my favs have been Tupac/Jon B. Are U Still Down, T.I/Jamie Foxx Live In The Sky-I love that song Recently I have been getting into Trey Songz/Drake Successful-you have to admit it is a nice song Do you have any Singer/Rapper collabo's that you like?Dislike?

My faves are:

"I Feel For You" Chaka Khan & Melle Mel
"Contribution" Mica Paris & Eric B.
"Love Is All We Need" Mary J. Blige & NAS
"Nights In Harlem" Luther Vandross & Guru
"Trust Me" Guru & N'dea Davenport

Tupac w/ Anthony Hamilton
Mary J w/ Lil Kim

- Other than a few exceptions, I am not fond of singer/rap collabos where its mostly singing and then a rapper comes on however I can tolerate the reverse where the rapper does the verses and a singer does the chorus

What did Anthony Hamilton & Pac do together? I agree with you I also like songs were the singer does most of the work. Nice perspective

"Friends" - Jody Watley and Rakim
"Is It Good To You" - Heavy D and Tammy Lucas
"All Night Long" - Faith Evans and Diddy
"The Way You Move" - Outkast and Sleepy Brown
"Unbreakable" - MJ and Biggie

Does this count as one?

Heyyy "Just Coolin" takes me back to elementary school and watching them perform it live on the Soul Train Awards back in 1989. I still have it on tape. It was the year Whitney Houston got booed and when she met Bobby.

Throb was not a US single. It was issued as part of the Any Time Any Place single.
