i'm slightly surprised that this hasn't been posted here yet
this video has been out for a few days so the list of rappers has been mostly "solved" by more than a few sites but i'm interested to see how well OKP does in identifying the dizzying number of cameos

Seven faces pop up in one of the earliest shots and I don't recognize anyone here (I figure they are all local to the Bay? One guy has on a shirt that says Mac Duna, which I'm assuming his stage name)
I'ma go in order (question mark means I'm stumped):
(first verse)
Big Sean ? (although I'm betting Sremmurd Rae or however they spell it) ? Bishop Don Juan Game Kendrick Cube Tech N9ne Busta Rhymes Soulja Boy? ? BoB T.I. Nicki & Meek Trick Trick Dej Loaf? King Los? Gunplay Freddie Gibbs OG Maco? Krayzie Bone (and Layzie?) Cam'ron
(1st hook)
Young Buck Lil B? Fetty Wap Big Boi Killer Mike Big Boy from Power 106* (is that Murs to his right?) Cedric The Entertainer more Power 106 cats DJ Drama Swizz?
Juelz Santana Nelly Boosie skinny version of Rick Ross? (I kid) Snoop is dancin next to 40 Lil Duval? Mister Fab? Tyga? ? (feel like I should know him...seems too short to be YG) Juvenile French Montana Flav? ? ? T-Pain? ? ? radio dude B-Real Macklemore Bun B ? (someone from H-Town judging by the horns he threw up) ? Blake Griffith's smaller twin? Enuff
(2nd hook)
? ? (times two, not on the left or right) Jay Rock and Q I haven't seen Tash recently, so that's my guess there Breakfast Club (Angela, Charlemagne, Envy) ? (dude looks like Tyga too to me LOL) ? Ben Baller? Another Bay cat
(3rd verse)
? Mike Epps he looks like Dj Drama to me too ? (LOL nobody wanted to do the "I don't have property" line) Sway ? someone from 3-6 Mafia (DJ Paul, no?) ? (maybe Currensy? hard to see) ? (crucial conflict hair, though) ? ? times 2 ? ? ? ? ? (bats are back in rap videos!) ? and a boxer
Waka Flocka Dogg Pount (Kurupt, Daz and Soopafly) Devin? ?
(3rd hook)
Snoop again ? ? ? ? Sway again ? times 2 David Banner ? times 7 W.C. ? times 7 Memphis Bleek Too $hort

7. "it's similar to a dubstep drum pattern" In response to Reply # 6 Wed Jun-24-15 05:43 PM by bearfield
the early/non-edm-ified stuff at least. high tempo (120+ bpm) but the snare hits on the three instead of the two and four, which creates a natural bounce and an illusion of slowness
In an Invisible Jukebox interview with The Wire, Kode9 commented on a MRK1 track, observing that listeners "have internalized the double-time rhythm" and the "track is so empty it makes nervous, and you almost fill in the double time yourself, physically, to compensate".

Most rappers his age trying to make songs with a "current" sound fail at it. But this sounds like something a 20 yr old unknown would blow up with. I got alotta respect for 40's feel for new sounds, and he does this shit continuously.
>i mean he's found a way to keep making hits and he's damn near >retirement age for rap.
