10 Best Guest Verses In Rap History

Runaway is the anthem of douchebag apologists, a toast to the dirt bags and the assholes. Which is all perfectly fitting considering that the main artist responsible is Kanye West. After a dud album (808’s and Heartbreak) and embarrassing himself in front of a national audience by being a dick to Taylor Swift, public opinion of Kanye had taken a sharp downward turn. So My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was his attempt to prove everyone wrong and to earn the adoration of the public again.

After all he had done it was going to take more than just a great album. It was going to take self-reflection honesty and responsibility and all of that comes together on Runaway Kanye’s reflective ode and criticism to assholes everywhere, including himself.

A tall order for someone as even talented as Kanye it was hard to imagine that anyone who featured on Runaway would be able to capture the spirit of the song and album. But Pusha T surprised us all with a brutally straightforward and honest verse.

I-I-I-I did it, all right, all right, I admit it
Now pick your next move, you could leave or live with' it
Every bag, every blouse, every bracelet
Comes with a price tag, baby face it

Rarely is a rapper so up front about the way they live but his honesty makes for poetry here and is a perfect fit for Runaway and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
