Top 10 Ensemble Collaborations that Represent the “Essence of Hip-Hop” [Linwood’s Picks] [Part III]

There’s nothing more exciting to a fan of Hip-Hop than seeing a collaborative effort between not two or three, but four of his favorite artists on the same track displaying their personalities and lyrical capabilities. For this third installment of our “Essence of Hip-Hop series, we’ve asked Linwood Storm to select ten songs that showcase what he feels are the best collaborations between a multitude of talented and established rappers in the game that are each cut from a different cloth from one another.
