“Let’s PRETEND…” is something new at the 7th BORO. It is where we give you a question or put you in a situation and you have the freedom and luxury to be as creative and imaginative in your response as you wish.

The reason Stroy and I linked up and joined forces to work on a Hip Hop website was because of a “Let’s PRETEND…” question. The question was: “If you can assemble an ultimate and dream posse track, which 10 MCs would you choose and who would produce it?” We also took it further by choosing the order in which the MCs rhymed on the track. When you are really a Hip Hop fan, you want to see Hip Hop shine and you want the real Hip Hop to be as huge as music itself. In our perfect world, we wanted to see our favorite MCs collaborate and make a track for the ages.

Will any of this come true? Maybe and maybe not. But it sure is fun to PRETEND…

With the major signing of Slaughterhouse to Shady, I felt like another “Let’s PRETEND…” question was in order. I’ve always told people that if I had unlimited money, I would sign all my favorite MCs, give them a humongous budget, give them 100% of the creative control, and tell them to make an album. Mr. Mathers did not have to pretend… He did EXACTLY that! WE, on the other hand, must pretend.

So, the question is:

If you had UNLIMITED money, which artists would you sign to your record label in order to make your ultimate and dream roster?
