10 Artists Eminem Should Work With on MMLP2 - Only a select few have been able to get on a track with Eminem and not lyrically implode. He's a master word manipulator/rhyme slayer who's been battle-tested in the underground of Motown. And now that he's making a sequel to his awe-inspiring Marshall Mathers LP, who could possibly step up to his certified diamond mic? Click on to find out 10 who we think should make the cut.(Photo: Joel Ginsburg/WENN.com)

Chance the Rapper - Refreshingly, Chance has no qualms about admitting he's copied the style of fellow rappers. He told MTV, "I went through my Kanye phase, went through my Eminem phase, my Lil Wayne phase, my Andre [3000] phase." And now that he's coming into his own, he's been selected to open a few European dates for Em and even had a sit down at Shady Records for a possible deal. Whilst the paper pushers bid for his signature, a song with the label head would be sweet.(Photo: Matthew Eisman/Getty Images)

Black Hippy - This track would be a no-brainer, or more like a blow-your-brainer. The combination of intellect and humor Black Hippy brings would bring the best out of Em, especially layered on top of a Dr. Dre beat.(Photo: Roger Kisby/Getty Images)

Big Sean - We've seen that these two have been in the studio together, but we've yet to hear the outcome. This may be one of the most anticipated known-about collabs in music right now, and we want it. Right now.(Photo: Christie Goodwin/Redferns/Getty Images)

Mac Miller - It's easy to compare Mac Miller to Eminem because they've both worn a cape in a music video, so it's only fitting that they do a song together. It would be the most magical example of a bromance, and it'd give Mac a chance to differentiate himself and Em an opportunity explore being a post-Recovery goofball.(Photo: Tim Mosenfelder/Getty Images)

Action Bronson - This Ghostface-sounding chef from Queens has such an incredible flow that he may be the only newbie who can flip and sound a bit like Em without making the listener roll their eyes. It'd only be right to give him shine on MMLP2.(Photo: Roger Kisby/Getty Images)

Kanye West - We already know that Em inspires 'Ye to rewrite "for two f---in' days" (like he did after he heard his verse on Drake's "Forever"), so we think if the two got together for a Marshall Mathers track, Kanye's dose of self-depricating braggadocio would come in just the right amount of "did he just say that?" and Em would be forced to top that in the way that we've grown to love so dearly.(Photo: Taylor Hill/WireImage/Getty Images)

Adele - One of the stand out tracks on the original MMLP was a collab with Dido called "Stan." The only way to possibly follow that up would be if the the queen of the break-up song, Adele, collaborated with the king of lyrically killing off his ex. Besides, she's yet to make a hip-pop song and Em's MMLP2 would be the perfect first platform.(Photo: Kevin Winter/Getty Images)

Odd Future - Odd Future makes dark and weird so light-hearted and normal that they would push Eminem's rather unique sense of amusement to new boundaries. We'd like to take that journey with them. It'd be like a parallel universe to Em's life with D 12.(Photo: Scott Gries/PictureGroup)

Nicki Minaj - After the tease that was Em being featured on Nicki's "Roman's Revenge," we definitely want to hear from them again and again, and we especially want to know what it would sound like if Nicki visited Em's domain. Who knows who would show up? Slim Shady? Martha? Marshall? Rosa?(Photo: Kevin Mazur/Getty Images for BET)
