I agree with all of those. All hits don’t hold up. Nelly showed us that.
But Nelly proved that wasn’t the case.
I thought Nelly had bigger hits but Luda had a deeper catalogue of hits.
You making us Nas fans look bad with this delusional posting
And Erykah won because she had more radio hits.
These are heavily factored on hit records not every song you play has to be a smash but they sway the course of the versuz
Nas would lose in this setting he hasn’t had a hit since 02, Jay still has stuff he can play up to BP3
These Verzuz aint about radio hits? have yall been paying attention?
What radio hits do Erykah Badu/Jill Scott have? they did 1M streams.
always felt like nas would get shyt for making commercial records but jay had MAD wack commercial singles that were considered perfectly fine to his stans and most people really. like change clothes was absolute trash i dont know how jay didnt get clowned for releasing that shyt

Hov has too much pop commercial hits that have aged poorly like most of the commercial songs that came out in the 2000s era.
A lot of Hov's commercial songs have aged poorly.
What's he gonna play On To The Next One? Bonnie and Clyde, Empire State of Mind? lol
It was to an extent. Which is why people were scratching their heads when Premo played MOP or some of the lesser known Gangstarr tracks. Meanwhile RZA played all the known Wu bangers and the coli had RZA winning as a result. It’s not like RZA was playing Tearz, Impossible, Black Jesus or the original version of All I Need. He pulled out the version with Mary on it for a reasonthats not what RZA vs Preemo was about
