Rap's Greatest Posse Cuts
Rap is typically a very dog-eat-dog musical genre. Whether it's on wax, in the streets, and, recently, over such internet outlets as Twitter.com, rappers are prone to clash with one another. When hip-hop's brightest stars are on the same page, however, hit music ensues. When three or more MCs come together, it indicates some form of unity within the genre. These days, deejays (particularly, one who goes by the name of Khaled) have made hip-hop fantasy dream teams come to life. On this list, we true hip-hop fans rank and debate the greatest hip-hop posse cuts of all time, featuring hip-hop's most lyrical heavyweights from all different walks of life. Some of these jams are familiar and resonates with the younger generation of fans, while others are forgotten gems, but are otherwise noteworthy collaborations that made a mark on the genre. Please vote for the sake of unity, or lack there of, in rap and hip-hop.

Bitch Please II (feat. Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg, Xzibit & Nate Dogg) - Eminem
Then rookie, Eminem found himself outshined by rap vets Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg on this West Coast-style banger off of the Marshall Mathers LP. Nate Dogg handled the hook, while Xzibit delivered an impressive cameo. While Slim may have been out-rapped by the pros on this track (though, the same thing wouldn't happen nowadays), his verse remained memorable, rapping in Snoop's voice and then switching into his imfamous goofball drawl. - 2Up 6Down 2
Not Tonight (remix) - Lil' Kim
Nicki Minaj take notes. Long before she would go on to rule the hip-hop worldLil' Kim enlisted the help of Angie Marinez, Left Eye, Da Brat, and Missy Elliott to set this track on fire. The result? This Grammy nominated tune that showcases the unity with women in hip-hop. - 3Up 5Down 1
I Shot Ya (remix) - LL Cool J
- 4Up 5Down 2
We're All in the Same Gang - The West Coast Rap All-Stars
This West Coast anti-gang posse cut was a true game changer. Featuring prominent West Coast rappers ranging from MC Hammer to Dr. Dre to Ice-T and Eazy-E, JJ Fad, Shock G of Digital Underground, MC Ren, and an Miche'le handling the hook, the message in the song was to end gang violence, and for black people to unite. Though this was similar to the first anti-gang posse cut "Self Destruction" done by the best rappers on the East Coast, it was cool to see this kind of song done from a West Coast perspective. If only people actually listened... - 5Up 5Down 3
All I Do Is Win (feat. T-Pain, Ludacris, Rick Ross & Snoop Dogg) - DJ Khaled
Khaled's first smash mainstream hit came with fiery hook from T-Pain. And who better to talk about winning than successful rappers like Luda and Snoop? -
