I know the next FM record may not even come out, but it'd be interesting to find out the artists you'd like to see on the next album. Personally, I think Mike should collab with Travis McCoy from Gym Class Heroes, Slug from Atmosphere, more Lupe Fiasco and some rappers who got featured in Reanimation like Chali 2Na from Jurassic 5.
on the more ... uh, rock side, i'd really wanna see chino moreno on an FM hook -- that'd be for a more introspective song, i suppose. and, if SOB come back into the loop, i wanna hear some SOB raps and not FM raps, 'cause they seem so watered down. SOB's sh*t on "megadef" and "razor tag" was so much better than their sh*t on "fort minor: we major", even with the non-FM tracks on that mixtape ... so far as what i want goes, that's about it.
definately we would see some more of SOB. i would like J5 to be on there and i'd like to think that Lupe Fiasco would be too. Jay would be a nice guest artist, and Mr Hahn for that matter (not rapping of course) plus the guys from the X-ecutioners maybe..
if mike brings SOB back into the loop, which he undeniably will, he should let them do their own thing, 'cause, after listening to "razor tag", i looked back at "the rising tied" and i was, like, "... what the hell were they doing?" or something to that effect. ryu and tak kill it on "2000 fold", "megadef" and "razor tag". i figure they're not as good when it comes to guest rapping or something.
he wrote all of his verses and all the singing parts. but SOB had to sort of change their style to some extent to fit with the FM stuff.
