Defending the Title

Music is an art of expression covering virtually every human emotion and experience from Pharrell Williams' "Happy" to Maroon 5's "Sad." From Simple Plan's "Shut Up" to Katy Perry's "Roar." Music can bring people together. whether it be for a giant concert or some idiot who thinks he can play that vacant piano out in public just because he knows half of "Heart and Soul." Possibly the most exciting way music brings people together is when two artists collaborate on a project together. These two may come from completely different backgrounds and tell two very different stories on how they got to this similar situation and yet, when they join together, they both understand the notes on the page and can create something together and possibly rule the galaxy together as father and son..........Sorry, I got a little carried away there. Sometimes artists will use their platform and skill set to bash other artists in what is known as a "diss track" (Except in Jamaica where "diss track" refers to a specific track someone has picked out among a group of them).

Being an art of expressing oneself, music has asked us a lot of tough questions like "Why Can't This Be Love" and "Who is Mike Jones?" but music has also sought to help us make sense of it all. In the spirit of collaboration, here are pairings of artists who have asked poignant questions and received prompt answers from their fellow musicians. As a precursor to this list, it should be noted that comedic expression has been chosen in favor of correct chronology. So, like some sort of a Capella omnipotence, some of these questions were answered before they were even asked:
