Drake performs on a two-story platform that is on fire, but it’s not any worse than Kanye West’s performance in absolute darkness, or Weezy’s refusal to even get up off the couch to deliver his verse, or Eminem’s 2002-sports-drink-commercial-soundstage. Good job, Hype Williams.

Kanye, Weezy, Eminem, Drake Join Forces On “Forever”

Drake gets top billing in this six-minute collaboration for the soundtrack to More Than A Game, the forthcoming documentary about LeBron James, but it’s the long awaited union of Wayne and Slim Shady that makes this track especially curious. It’s always fun to hear the biggest talents in any genre on a single track (“Swagger Like Us“-style) even if Eminem is still on that awful torture-porn kick. Consider this the Mount Rushmore of basketball documentary soundtrack songs.

Clearly, this couldn’t wait ’til Monday. Mr. West gamely mocks his much YouTube’d award show outbursts on Saturday Night Live‘s Lebron James-hosted season premiere…

“It got champagne in it!”

After the jump, the live performance of “Champion” ending with a clumsy freestyle that’s ultimately brave and endearing despite the flub. He never be picture perfect.
