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”

[FloodedJesus]

Depends on the format and audience.

But like they say in boxing "styles make fights" - yes Jay-Z undoubtedly has more mainstream chart hits than Nas but in a stageshow battle that counts for nothing.

Okay then it would hve to be a 35-40+ crowd cause the newer generation don’t know Jay records like that other than Empire State of Mind and 99 Problems.

I don’t think many people in the crowd at the No Limit/Cash Money versuz knew a lot of the records other than the big hits but not many of the deep cuts/street records. Crowd plays a big part in Versuz

Funny, a lot of people thought Cash Money was gonna win cause they have more big hits and well known hits record but turned out they were wrong. No Limit played street anthems, b-sides songs and they performed better than Cash Money and better energy than Cash Money, that's why they won. Like I said, when it comes to verzuz, you gotta balance out with hits and street anthems.

Replace Lucifer, Song Cry, Show You How and Allure () with So Ghetto, Threat, La La La and Give It To Me and this is pretty solid

If Jay-Z is going to do verzuz, I guarantee he's going to play one of the songs with Biggie, Brooklyn's Finest or I Love the Dough.

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.

Gnx was literally filled with hits so was damn

 

[JYoung24]

How is future as a performer ?

 

[JYoung24]

I literally listed artists billboard 100 songs though, you want to claim deep cuts or regional songs are not big hits and they arent.
Sorry that hurts you.
I would have put a lot more music for TI, Wayne, Kanye, and others if I had as loose definition as you Kendrick and Jay-Z stans have.


No victory isn't a hit.
It had little airplay and radio play and didn't crack Billboard top 10, on the top 100.
Flava in ya ear (remix) definitely a hit, huge radio play, huge video play, crack top 10 of the billboard 100.
Put your hands where I can see is a black american hit, not a big hit, as it didn't crossover, but black stations and radio played it massively.
What is the mariah song?
Ante up is a regional hit, not a big hit, not a lot of radio play nationally, a lot o video play, didn't chart on black music highly nor top 100.

By your logic that means Kendrick has a shyt ton of hits

No it doesn't. Kendrick doesn't have a lot of actual hits like previous number 1 rappers. Feel free to post

 

[Legend27]

Im convinced some of yall have never seen a live Hov concert to think he's getting "washed" by anybody in a Verzuz

Gotta agree with this. While I do think a few could compete with him (really only a few), Nobody is straight-up washing Jay-Z in a Verzuz

 

[KingSol81]

Snoop easily.

This.
Ppl act like its not who got the best set list 20 for 20 Snoops got him, 10 for 10??? Snoop bodies him. Look how the crowd went up for him doing a verse off a b-side diss record on CM vs NL

Nas wouldn't do it anyway.
