____ murdered ____ on his own [censored] (music)
Title inspired by Nas' line from "Ether", where he disses Jay-Z by stating "...and Eminem murdered you on your own [censored]", referring to Jay-Z's song "Renegade" featuring Eminem.
What are some good examples of tracks where the guest artist significantly outperforms the artist whose song it is? This can really apply to any genre of music, although I had hip-hop/rap in mind here. It wasn't Nas' or Jay-Z's songs that made me think of this topic, actually. I was listening to Biggie's "Life After Death" recently, and while listening to the song "Last Day" featuring The LOX, it dawned upon me that BIG really gets out-done by the entire LOX, IMO, and it really isn't close. If you took BIG off this song, I think it would be better, really. And the crazy part is, I am a HUGE BIG fan, and just a casual LOX listener. I know a lot of hip-hop threads on OOT can become lame rather quickly (arguments over who is the greatest, definition of hip-hop vs rap, etc.), but I figured this is a subject worth discussing, and it can really apply to all types of music.
