Best Collaboration Record of 2009

Reader Pick		Staff Pick
Drake ft. Kanye West, Lil Wayne & Eminem - Forever		Drake ft. Kanye West, Lil Wayne & Eminem - Forever

A dream-team collaboration that took the game by storm when it surfaced in late August, More Than a Game soundtrack single "Forever" saw Drake, Weezy, Kanye, and, most surprisingly, Eminem joining forces to utterly annihilate a beat by "Best I Ever Had" producer Boi-1da. Though “Forever” was nominally Drizzy's joint, it was Slim Shady's blistering closing verse that truly had Booth readers scrambling for their lower jaws. Runner Up: Jay-Z ft. Kanye West & Rihanna - Run This Town		Sorry to be predictable, but was their really any other choice besides "Forever"? 2009 saw no shortage of dope collabos, but "Forever" is the track that will be talked about for the next decade, the track that not only included heavyweights Kanye and Lil Wayne, but proved that rising star Drake could hold his own alongside some of the game's elite emcees. What's more, it served as an announcement that Eminem was finally back and ready to defend his former best rapper alive crown. Yes sir, we'll remember this one...wait for it...forever.

Burmy DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 515	Burmy's Top Rated Songs Swagga Like Us won last year's collabo award...and Forever is a million times better, plus I believe it has the highest star-rating of any track in Booth history. So, was there really anything else that could come close?

Mr.Top Hat Resident DJ Total Ratings: 3522	Mr.Top Hat's Top Rated Songs It doesn't get any more obvious than this! A bit surprised to see "Run This Town" taking the Runners Up spot, as most of the peeps felt disappointed by it. I personally voted for "Maybach Music Pt.2" for that Runners Up spot. [Resume playing "Forever"]

Aussie_Pride Resident DJ Total Ratings: 1177	Aussie_Pride's Top Rated Songs This pick is always going to annoy me, mainly because these multiple rappers on a track songs never live up to expectations. To be fair, this is a pretty good song & I guess its worthy of winning this award.
