Kanye West The Go-To Feature Rapper of 2008
808s & Heartbreaks had Mr. West singing his face off, but Kanye kept it hip-hop in 2008 with guest appearances.
We know that Lil Wayne and T-Pain are the top-two guest appearances in the game either way you rank them. In 2008, the two worked with just about everybody, from T.I. to Fall Out Boy. Bankable! Having T-Wayne on your record practically guaranteed you big airplay on at least one radio format.
Who else put it down this year? Glad you asked. We ranked our top cameo performers of 2008 not named T-Pain or Weezy.
1. Kanye West
Best Cameo: His work on Young Jeezy’s “Put On” was amazing. On the song, ‘Ye went from talking about the pain of losing his mom to needing at least one of the Simmons sisters to help soothe him. Yet we have to go with his verse on T.I.’s “Swagger Like Us”: blissful confidence wrapped around melodic wordplay. As a sidebar, don’t sleep on his verses from Jamie Foxx’s “Digital Girl.”
