10 Worst Music Collaborations Of All Time
10. Kanye West/Lil Wayne
There's no disputing the massive success that Kanye West has achieved over the years. Ever since the amazing success of the College Dropout, West has been putting out tons of quality material across nearly every project he has made. On the other hand, that doesn't mean that everything he touches automatically turns to gold.
When working on his commercial rap opus Graduation, Ye pulled out all the stops and ended up featuring Lil Wayne on the track Barry Bonds. Though something like this makes sense on paper, Weezy does not bring nearly the right amount of charisma he should, with most of his bars sounding like nothing more than just B-tier flexes at best. West doesn't necessarily do much to help matters either, given that most of his bars and written chorus talking about moving on to bigger things...which is ironically what you end up wanting to do when hearing this song.
While Ye and Weezy managed to sound at least a bit better for the Auto-tuned See You In My Nightmares on 808s and Heartbreak, this was one hell of a thud to start any potential collaborative relationship with. Though there are some humungous musical highlights to be found on Graduation, this is one of the few songs that have aged a lot worse than you remember.
