Jay-Z said no rapper can do a Verzuz with him because no one is on his level: “There’s not a chance anyone can stand on that stage with me”

[dubsmith_nz]

First I hear of this!! Is there a recording?

Feast breh

I don’t know if Nas has 20 that would work as well as Jay's catalogue.

Nas's music overall is mad different. I don’t think he has 20 that could see Jay for that kinda platform.

I think a lot Kanye's work is made for stadium sh*t, so he would be a problem for Jay. But I don’t think joints like "So Ghetto" or "Where I'm From" would work for that setting. He would need to do "U Don’t Know", "PSA", "Ain't No N*gga", "Big Pimpin'", etc. Bro's got a million of the right records.

They would definitely work if it was in NYC. Of course if it was Nas and it was in NYC then anything off of Illmatic is gonna blow the roof off. I think Nas has a much better chance of making it interesting in a setting like the Lox/Dipset Verzuz was. Outside of NYC he really wouldn't stand a chance against Jay.

Kendrick doesn't belong.
He has the least aactual hits of any true rap "superstar" ever.

Damn
DNA
Be Humble
They not like us

Am I missing anything? Talking hits

Nas is the same.
He doesn't have many hits

You Owe Me
If I ruled the world
Hate Me Now
I got to have it ft JD
Oochie Wally
Ether
One Mic

Thats about it.

Funnily enough
Puffy has a lot of hits than both of them and that isn't including the remixes

Been Around the World
Its all about the benjamins
I'll be missing you
Can't nobody hold me down
satisfy you
come with me
Bad boy for life
Lets get it
I need a girl
Diddy
Coming HOme

It’s not just hits tho. Anything can ring off in a versuz. Bside, free styles, features etc. hits help but it’s not the only criteria.

Kendrick has enough notable songs and features mixed with his position as the top MC of this decade I think it’s appropriate to include him.

Poetic justice
Money trees
Good kid Mad city
Swimming pools
Alright
King Kunta
All the Stars
Kings dead
Loyalty
Dedication (first and only collab with Nip)
fukking problems
Luther
30 for 30
Like that
Whips and chains

I’m probably for getting a lot since I don’t listen to Kendrick like that anymore.

 

[Bolzmark]

FACTS ONLY

SEEN EM BOTH LIVE

CUBE UNTOUCHABLE

Me too. Cube don't got the discography to fukk wit Jay.

 

[RennisDeynolds]

Keith Sweat and others established the premise that they can always use songs they wrote or produced. Thats why JD and Pharell are the most dangerous

Well I dont like that. Producers need their own verzuz

Stop it breh, versus is about hits, every entertainer can have a bunch of fan favs, but Kendrick don't have any real fukking hits.

I can understand that.

 

[Methodical]

Kendrick, Drake Ye or Nas

I can understand Nas so maybe c00n Ye but you can't be kidding with Kendrick and Drake.

Jay-Z is not going to battle Drake and Kendrick. I'm 100 positive he's prefer someone who came in 80s-90s hip-hop rappers on his level. Not this gen rapppers.

For the past 10 years ive been struggling to find out how in the world swimming pools is a hit record. Now you're telling me it would "ring out in a verzuz"

 

[HoldThisL]

This shyt so ass

Ppl went up for a lot of them no limit songs I never even heard of and I’m from the south and I grew up in that era.

Jada kiss got busy off a free style.

I’m not going to discount anything. If Kendrick come with that energy and folks feeling the nostalgia then why not

We literally just seen it’s not all about hits tho but ok.

 

[Depreciating Asset]

A shame Biggie died. He would've been the greatest at this. Just his two albums, Junior Mafia and features are winning against damn near everyone.

If you are talking No Limit vs Cash Money - No Limit literally has just as many if not more hits than cash money just by sheer number of artists they had popping at the same time.
Take TRU, Kane and Abel, Soldier Slim, Mac, Mystikal, Master P, C Murder, Silk the shocker, Mia X, fiend, and more vs hot boys, juve, big tymers, bg, and wayne.

The only people who thought that was even footing are kids under 30, who just don't know No Limit from life experience but from hearsay and memes

They (no limit) had more charting songs (quantity) but cash money had more songs that charted higher (quality)

I asked AI who had more hits before 2005 (so it would exclude young money)
