I remember at the end of this episode Kanye was performing Big Brother and then Jay Z surprised and came out and performed Encore I believe.

Like the idea of Future and Kendrick "breaking new ground" by collaborating on the "Mask Off" remix only seems groundbreaking if you don't have a better grasp on rap history. In 1990 Chuck D, Ice Cube, and Big Daddy Kane collabed on one of the best songs of the year for one of the most commercially successful rap albums of the year as well, with Chuck being the more overtly political artist, Cube being the street artist, and Kane being the lyrical b-boy. That wasn't considered particularly unique or groundbreaking until hip hop got increasingly splintered apart from itself as a commodity versus its origins as a culture

Same with OutKast regularly jumping between dirty south type music, conscious hip hop, experimental hip hop, and even outside of hip hop entirely.

This made me think about how unstoppable a 50 & Em collab album in 07 would've been

Nobody thought Future and Kendrick collabing was groundbreaking except for white publications lol. Future had a song with Andre years before that.

50 won in the long run

All the new rappers nowadays inspired by him

50's influence is more pronounced on international hip hop, especially UK rappers.
