Over the course of their careers, Ghostface Killah and Raekwon have appeared on enough classic tracks together to have a joint greatest hits album. Today we learn that a track on Jay Z's Magna Carta Holy Grail could've almost made that list. While being interviewed by AllHipHop, Rae The Chef speaks on a photo of him and Hova in the studio that surfaced two years ago.

Apparently, Jay had a vision of putting Rae and Ghost on his MCHG track "Heaven," which went on to feature Justin Timberlake. Unfortunately, he didn't end up getting a verse from Ghost, so the idea was ultimately scrapped.
