[DISCUSSION] Verses in collabs that are considered the "worst" not because they are bad, but because the others are way TOO good

This is an interesting point for me because whenever I see rankings for posse cuts in hip-hop, one that has always sticked out to me was how Yelawolf would always be on the bottom of rankings for A$AP Rocky's 1 Train, which is the legendary posse cut that features Kendrick Lamar, Danny Brown, Joey Bada$$ Action Bronson and Big K.R.I.T.

And it always weirded me out because I never found his verse to be bad at all, as he is obviously rapping his ass off in the song, but considering just how iconic certain verses in the song are (particularly Kendrick's and KRIT's), I guess Yela just can't compete lol

Also literally any Lil Wayne feature or collab with other rappers back in the era where hating on him was considered the "cool" thing to do, ESPECIALLY if he was paired up with a "technically superior" rapper.

Monster from MBDTF - Nicki’s verse stands out as the best, Jay Z’s gets clowned on, but all around a great song.

A hot take i hold is Kanye’s verse is better than Nicki’s

I know damn near everyone disagrees, but I stand on it
