6. Lil Wayne/Mannie Fresh
A trio of hometown heroes; Mannie Fresh, Lil Weezyana, and Boosie Boo. The fact of the matter is that Lil Wayne is forever not the Cash Money youngin’ “Tha Block Is Hot” rapper he once was, but sparks of his origins still do peak through the surface of his now Trukfit, mixtape rapping style and ego. For years I have been wishing and desperately hoping that Mannie and Wayne reconnect in a Tha Carter reunion fashion, but with every Young Money release of Wayne’s, I see those dreams surely diminishing. Still, a collaboration of this trio would be a retro masterpiece. Although there was rumors of beef between the Lil’s awhile back, maybe since Boosie has been incarcerated since the golden days of southern hip-hop and he’s in a prison-influenced time capsule, it would then direct Wayne to return to his Cash Money ways and leave his mainstream pose of 2014. One can dream right?
7. Murphy Lee
For starters, where is Murphy Lee? Ever since his debut Murphy’s Law he’s been under the radar. Boosie and Murphy were popular in the same general time period, but they never pushed to feature one another. Murphy’s classic St. Louis flow that we all grew to know and love would be like bread and butter with Boosie’s dirty Louisiana explicit lyrics. A collab with Boosie would maybe bring Murphy back to the surface, rather than slowly, with each passing year, sinking to the bottom of the ocean. And hell, throw Nelly on the hook too.
