Pop Shots - When Pop & Rap Collaborate


Welcome to your weekly dose of pop world musings. Covering all things pop culture, this week, with the B.o.B - Bruno Mars collaboration, “Nothin’ On You,” reaching number one on the Billboard chart, Pop Shots is taking a look at the always interesting world of pop singers and rappers collaborating.

Some of these collaborations are memorable, while some of them qualify as something else entirely. The following are prime examples of the best, worst, and most confusing pop singer - rapper collaborations of all-time.
