Kind of a weird question but I was listening to Naughty By Nature and it dawned on me that one of Treach’s most notable quotables is:

“If you ain't ever been to the ghetto Don't ever come to the ghetto 'Cause you wouldn't understand the ghetto And stay the f*** out of the ghetto”

But it’s on the outro. It’s not a part of a verse or hook. Are there any other popular examples of this?

You know how people talk about the Nas + Premo, Freddie + Alchemist, Dre + Snoop, etc? What are some equally heralded producer/rapper team ups that don’t get the proper credit?

I’ve been diggin into Kool Keith’s catalog recently and it didn’t realize how much of a role KutMasta Kurt played outside of the Ultramagnetic stuff. He did Dr. Dooom, Diesel Truckers, all the best known Keith stuff from the 2000s IMO, but I NEVER (and I mean never) hear people talk about that combo. What are some other combos that just don’t get the proper credit?

No disrespect to Lil Wayne, I think he’s certainly earned the title of ‘great’, but I remember back in like 2004/2005 when he started calling himself the best rapper alive (since the best rapper retired), that narrative and boast actually caught on and IMO was the beginning of Wayne’s true ascension. To be fair, he really wasn’t the best rapper alive at the point. And yet somehow Wayne’s modern legacy was really built on that reputation. It truely felt like a marketing ploy rather than organic belief in him being that great of a rapper. And hey it worked. Any other examples of this? For an artist or even an album?
