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”

[SilverSamurai]

As big as Em songs were I can’t see a hiphop crowd going crazy for most of them joints.

Once the beat to Ass Like That drops that whole crowd gonna be looking like

 

[serial]

on 2nd thought... Jay's Top streamed songs on spotify.... This is what makes him untouchable?

-Umrella
-Crazy In Love
-Empire State of Mind
-Numb/Encore
-Drunk in Love
-Monster
-Holy Grail
-Clique
-Pound Cake
-Suit and Tie
-Gotta Have It
-Hey Papi
-Girls, Girls, Girls
-Song Cry
-Show Me What You Got
-Dirt Off Your Shoulder
-99 Problems
-Roc Boys
-Big Pimpin

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.

Would add family ties, adhd and Backseat freestyle and take out 30 for 30, Poetic Justice and Loyalty

But you’re a cac. You don’t know what Future means to hip hop/black culture and his impact

fukk outta here

fukk future
It’s disrespectful to even be saying future name in the same sentence as jay z wtf are talking about. Y’all act like a versus crowd with jay z on the card would be a bunch of 20 years olds

Kanye
EM
nas
A producer like dre
And maybe busta
If you think anyone else even comes close you are a jay hater or you were born in the 90’s and don’t know his music like that.

This is a white or Arab poster that made this goofy ass post. You obviously haven’t been outside in the last decade if you don’t think Future would fukk up a Versuz and have Jay on the ropes. A versuz ain’t about a lyrical battle - it’s hit for hit and who has bigger records to get the crowd reaction. A lot of Jay-Z’s big singles/mainstream songs aged terribly

Cac said Em

What’s Em going to play Not Afraid and Lose Yourself? or Smack That?

And I love Em he one of my GOATs just like Jay is but Feds Did a Sweep, Mask Off, Codeine Crazy or Trap nikkaz would have a Versuz crowd going crazy

Future just as legendary and influential as Jay and Em. Just part of a different generation

Versuz ain’t about who’s a better MC or who got more classics album. You not no damn hip hop purist fakkit. fukk outta here

 

[cartierhoe]

I see white boys and weirdos on twitter talking about some Not Afraid ringing off against Hov

This is just like that thread somebody made on here where they asked who would win a Verzuz between Chris Brown and Weeknd. Verzuz is made for a black audience, black people as a whole stopped giving a fukk about Em two decades ago lol.

The only people who can do give Hov a run for his money if not outright win is Kanye and I know theColi doesn't wanna hear it but Drake. Hell I might throw Future in there if his list is good. Drake and Future could beat a lot of folks strictly off features if they so chose to.

 

[cartierhoe]

0 to 100

Beat drop and then “fukk bein on some chill shyt” crowd would go crazy

Drake and Kanye for sure cooking Jay in a versuz. Jay of course a better lyricist than both but if we going banger for banger/hit for hit Jay not fukking with those two.

Drake don't even have to do the super commercial stuff, he's got songs like 0-100 that would go off like crazy. People forget about records like that.

 

[Atsym Sknyfs]

Busta ... he has the longevity plus the history to create a nice story. it all started with the infamous Westinghouse lunchroom battle then on to the Mic Geronimo record (title escapes me) and now the commercial hits..

 

[David_TheMan]

A hip hop message board that doesn’t know hip hop. It’s a wrap for the industry.
Smh
I know y’all hate Eminem because he isn’t black and from the hood but nikkas think Kendrick fukking Lamar can compete with jayz. That’s wild. I’m ashamed to even post here anymore.

It would be hard for me in to compete in a black audience because his music is terrible and gimmicky that didn't hold up to the rest of time.

His hits are really hoakey.

White folks love it so he would win against anyone vs a white audience.

 

[Mac Ten]

Jay needs to either go up against Drake or Lil Wayne considering that they had stayed on top for as long as him if not longer.


Or if he wants to get his soul back, he should call Nas up for a Verzuz battle.

Jay is gonna shake Nas’ hand and kiss his ring at the end of the battle when it’s all said and done.

I don't care about the Future vs Jay Z debate, but this is simply not true, and Jadakiss proved that. Jada literally outshined Dipset due to his emcee skills.

 

[ryderldb]

Depends on the crowd. If it's a younger audience, Kendrick and Drake would wash him.

This is what it will come down to. If the crowd is all Gen Zers he’ll get beat by Kendrick and drake. shyt even Travis Scott would probably get the crowd more hype than Jay. And this is coming from someone who has no idea why he’s so popular.

a person born in 2004 has never heard a new Nas song that was a hit or move the culture lol

thats 21 years of futility

y’all confuse popularity in your bubble with cultural reach. Future makes dope vibes, but Jay made moments that crossed generations, languages, and borders. There is a reason why jay is still relevant all these years later and the average person can’t name three future songs. And I’m not talking about hood nikkas under 30

Versus isn’t just crowd noise—it’s presence, performance, and catalog depth. The Lox already showed y’all that it’s about the performance and you can perform mixtape tracks if you do it right
Jay’s got songs that move people who’ve never touched a Percocet or knew what a trap was. Future’s music hits if you in the clubJay’s hits play in the club, the boardroom, the car, and the gym.

And let’s be real—‘Mask Off’ ain’t standing next to ‘U Don’t Know,’ ‘Public Service Announcement,’ or ‘Can I Live.’ One changed your night, the other changed hip hop.

You talking Versuz, I’m talking legacy. Future might have the wave, but Jay built the ocean.

 

[Secure Da Bag]

I would say Busta but I don't think he has enough hits.
