Is "Mask off" by Future the greatest example of a wack emcee not making the most of hot production?

There are several examples of this in hip hop history, but I can't remember a hotter beat being underused as much as "Mask off". If u have any examples please post them and explain why or why not....

Before "Mask off" this was my posterchild of a beautiful beat and a ninja that didn't talk about a damn thing on the track. ? bless the dead. R.I.P. Lo -

And before that it was Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice. That beat was hard but it was ruined by cheesy cracka rhymes. -

This is another prime example... Rich Homie sounded tight on this one cuz Thugga was so trash. lol But this beat was hard tho. -
Naw of course its snappin pretty much all around. I think the chorus is great. Chase a check never chase a chick. Pretty much an education for some who could use it. Great song all around but it wouldnt be if there werent some detractors and have some salty.

Low key I think an Emcee like Mystikal woulda took that beat and made it a classic song.
-
It ain't groundbreaking, but that ? ' flute man!!! lol It's just jammin -
Yeah it's cool but I heard better beats on lil B mixtapes lol
-
I just went and listened to the song off the strength of this thread, that ? is average AF y'all ? be listening to some
? ,and then reading the comments is even more hilarious. -
Nope!
The absolute GREATEST example of wasting a hot beat is Knowledge Me by The Original Concept Crew. It came out in 1986. You'vve probably heard the beat before. Master Ace sampled it in Born To Roll and Ashanti sampled it in Still On It.
Its one of the fattest beats in the history of Hip Hop but they didn't rap over it.
