What’s your dream Product team of hip-hop artists? Here’s mine.
Product manager: Dr. Dre. For his long term vision and leadership and business acumen. Eng: Lil Wayne. Good at the mechanics of rhyming and being clever but isn’t good at the bigger picture stuff. Data Scientist: Lupe Fiasco. Good at analyzing the past and storytelling at a deep level. Highly analytical about the past but doesn’t offer good solutions for the present and future. Marketing: Drake. Good at selling to the masses but not much substance beyond that. Design: Kanye. Good at long term vision and futuristic thinking. Not so focused on implementation and present costs. Thoughts? Who’s on your dream product team of rappers?
