Is Verzus over?

[Kliq_Souf]

The Lox beat DipSet so bad, Cam said fukk them niccas and became a sports analyst

 

[Mastamimd]

Triller was the nail in the coffin

That Verzuz during the boxing match was a horrible decision

Capitalism ruins everything eventually.

And entitlement can't forget that. People began complaining about the free show that they have to tune into to watch like it was forced on them. Viewership fell. The media company that bought it got into money issues as well.

Bet you if some cacs came back with the responses would be all "we can't have nothing" but people were genuinely shytting on it for still existing the last few matchups. Nothing is done or finished. Even if it's on hiatus. Ideas don't die. When timing is ready for there will be value for it

 

[Stick Up Kid]

It produced one of the greatest moments in hip hop history

 

[the elastic]

that Teddy Riley Babyface Pandemic was wild

 

[Budda]

It can still be done , it’s basically just a concert with two artists.

So when versuz was popping it wasn’t “capitalism”?

 

[Street Knowledge]

I’d rather just go to a concert than watch a versuz battle

 

[Alvin]

Swizz/Timbo were trying to buy it back but Thriller fukked it up.

 

[Born2BKing]

Still can't stand this nikka

 

[Piff Perkins]

Why are people still thinking this will come back, like the entire world/situation hasn't changed? We're back to normal, that shyt is never coming back. Artists are getting good tour money, lots of black festivals are emerging...the past is over.

They need to make it a concert series but a lot of artists are hesitant to do it because of what Jada, Bizzy, and Gucci did.

Nah that's why those early acts got shares when the company was sold. They did it for the love/culture. A cliche but actually true in that case. Nobody got paid until triller bought into verzuz. By the time they started doing paid matchups was the beginning of the end.

So yes. Money corrupted the process. It brought out lackluster reluctant performers like Dipset (who got smoked) they only did it for the money and it showed as opposed to the early dudes who were eager to perform. It brought scrutiny. Like the ad companies who pulled out because Styles P saluted gangs. Then they tried to charge for the show when they could have just did ads. They tried to limit the i.g. viewership when triller also bought in then peddled back, but I.g. comment section is what made the experience well rounded and engaging.

That type of shyt.

I still can’t believe Swizz & Tim was able to sell it to someone for money. What did triller think they were buying?

Verzuz could be a running tour series as well. Y'all so quick to throw away an intellectual property that is established like it no longer has value. This is how corporations win. Ideas don't die. Nothing is finished it can be retooled and reintroduced.
