Beyoncé and Scarface - As she reminded us on "Bow Down," Bey is an H-Town O.G., screwed voice and all. But no one represents Houston harder than Scarface himself. This collabo would be like the Astros winning the World Series. (Photos from left: Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images, John Ricard / BET).

Drake and Scarface - While we're on the topic of Scarface and H-Town, there are plenty of artists that willfully copy the city's legendary rap legacy. Drake has always shouted out the city and its influence on his music. Scarface giving him a co-sign would be an unforgettable moment. If Drake isn't down, we're sure A$AP Rocky would be.

Nas and OutKast - These two legendary acts' classic debut albums are part of the reason that 1994 is considered by many to be hip hop's best year. It's shocking that they haven't crossed paths yet in the nearly 20 years since. Make it happen! (Photos from left: Arnold Turner/WireImage, Tim Mosenfelder/Getty Images)

Nicki Minaj and Azealia Banks - The beef — and imagined beef — between Nicki and every other femcee is beyond tiresome.
