Multiple Artists decline Busta Rhymes Verzuz battle

[BmoreGorilla]

Exactly this! Jay wouldn't go against Busta that's like saying they're on the same level when they are not. Same with Diddy and JD. On another note yall nikkas was listening to Missy albums like that? Yall nikkas really ranking Missy high because she had a few cool videos?

Yea nikkas always bring up Missy when it comes to Busta. nikkas was bumping no damn Missy

youre not limited to just your album cuts in Verzuz. Missy has wrote a lot of hits but on Drink Champs, Swizz made a great point that outside of cool videos, musically Busta and Missy out be a terrible matchup

Wasn't looking at it as who would win in performance because that has not been what a versus is about. .

Yes it has.

Verzuz Transitioned from a Playlist Battle to Being highly performance-oriented about a year ago. They're in arenas now. Live crowd, you ain't see the Lox embarrass the favorited Diplomats because they stole the show by outperforming them?
in Verzuz current format. catalog matters less than it did before and Performance is a major factor

Never heard them outside the singles. And nobody I know was bumping Missy. Not any dudes anyway. I feel like the only reason people compare her to Busta is due to them both having some Hype Williams videos around the same time

DMX , Ludacris and Redman are the ones that i could think of that could match his energy level...but Busta "out-hits" them

LL has enough hits...but Busta's energy will be overwhelming for LL's catalogue. The shyt would probably feel like 2 different genres at times

Nobody wants to see a Busta Rhymes verzus other than diehard hip hop heads.

U buggin.

 

[intruder]

They not tryna go against this

Hell nah. LL would run laps around Busta on that stage. Busta prolly has more energetic songs overall but he wouldn’t even be able to match the energy of his own music

Yea I think I get it now. Busta and Missy name drops for Verzuz are because of the hyped energetic videos they used to put out earlier in their careers. There’s is no way someone who’s been to a busta show and a Jay show can say busta was a better “PERFORMER”, we’ve seen Hov on tour on stage for hours, busta performs sets. That high energy shyt don’t work when you have to perform song after song after song song.


Street songs, pop songs, hood songs, there’s nothing that Bustas catalog has over HOVs and putting them in the same category is disrespectful.

Do i really need to specify it's strictly the energy of the music, breh?
Aint noone trying to go through a fitness bootcamp with LL

Hov being a camel makes it that much more impressive tbh.
