Drake working with Yeat, Drakeo, Smiley, etc It's been a long time since So Far Gone

Gucci sounded great with Pooh Shiesty and Durk. As a whole he adjusted to the autotune/melodic era well, which is funny considering when he heard future his first thought was to steal Future's sound.

back in 2013-15, while it did feel like they were being forced to work with him, TI made some great songs with Young Thug and some of Thug's peers.

Lil Wayne adapted to trap's growing success better than his peers

I was impressed with how Meek adapted to rise of melodic rap, he was working with Uzi and Thug and it felt authentic.

If you showed me the Detroit wave in 2016 and told me Yachty would fit in on a track with them, I'd have thought you were dumb or he would be doing the hooks. but boat self inserted himself into that scene better than you'd think.

idk not all of those are the best examples for the thread but they all stuck out to me.

I was gonna say t.i. And thug - about the money good call
