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”

First, I thought this was a toll thread and there would be a camel on a stage like the circus.
But this is Exactly what I was going to stay. Versus is more about "Performing" your records than the records themselves. And not too many rappers can perform better than Jay
If Jay Z kept it, without the big radio friendly songs..... and it was in New York...
Nas, 50 Cent, would be interesting.
50 doesn’t belong in this discussion
Snoop for sure could hang with Jay. 20 tracks I pulled (not saying they're his top 20, but trying to get a range of tracks he's known for over the course of his career instead of spamming Doggystyle tracks (although I included 4 of those). :

Jay is one of my’s. Top 2. But he’s delusional if he thinks no MC can do a vz against him. A lot of peers can and keep it close enough to win.
If he battles Nas for example and they hold it at MSG, who does he expect will show up? real hiphop heads who love both, probably in the 35-50 age range.
His commercial hits don’t hold up and won’t be received well in a vz against Nas. He’s not gonna play “hey papi” or “la la la” lol. Empire state of mind is a massive hit, but ny state of mind would absolutely wash it.

The point wasn't using one album.
It was that that album alone out of his 12-13 or whatever, has enough tracks to kill sh*t. So if you throw in the other albums and all his features, dude is damn near unstoppable. Kanye's the only one that could f*ck with him.

Versuz is only 20 songs so it don't matter if you have a 5 year career or 20 years. If you have enough materiel to put 20 strong songs, that's all you have to do. Having a extensive catalogue can even be a weakness because now you have to choose between eras and vibes. Too much of a choice can be detrimental.
DMX Nas Busta Snoop even TI can compete with him easy

Nas can't do "I Gave You Power", "Rewind", "Stillmatic Intro", "Mo Money, Mo Murda", "It's Mine" and those types of joints at Verzuz.
That's the kinda sh*t he can do at his own show. For Verzuz, it needs to be records like "Hate Me Now" and "Made You Look". It has to be tracks that everybody knows and would go crazy for. "Verbal Intercourse" wouldn't work in Verzuz, but "It Ain't Hard to Tell" would.
