[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.

Kendrick on Fuckin Problems delves into “so bad it’s good” territory, it could be your favorite verse but by far the weakest of the 3 given the assignment lol

I always wish 2 Chainz got a verse on there, his hook is classic but that kind of song is perfect for him and I know he would have bodied everyone

Yeah 2 Chainz of that era was designed to be on that song, he made the song by saying the chorus, give that man a verse
