Swizz and Timbaland really fukked up selling to triller in multiple ways

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

8 figure deal in cash > 1 great matchup happening after dang near 2 years (that might not even be slightly profitable for the company)

Only if you GET the money

A lot of ya'll were done with it after The Lox vs Dipset Verzuz, so I don't really see the problem. Unless we 're somehow getting George Clinton, Beyonce, Rihanna, Mariah, Janet, Busta, Missy, Nas, Jay Z,, Puff, Dre, Quincy Jones, or some other iconic artists to participate in a Verzuz, I don't really see what else there is to show

it worked the best during the pandemic, BUT they dropped the ball, they could've easily added more artist, look at the Lil Wayne vs Drake tour a couple of years ago, could've morphed into that. They been talking the Diddy vs JD/Dre battle for how long and now people just don't care.

The concept of verzuz was its best when it was organic IG live battles during lockdown, it became goofier the bigger it got. This is one case where it was smart to sell high.

yeah but the fukkery
Soulja vs Bow Wow
Three 6 vs Bone Thugs
8ball going off on Gillie
Jeezy vs Gucci

i can't remember them all, but the last one that felt really fun yet wasn't over produced and shyt was 40 and short...Lox vs Dips was the only one that really rang off for me, being in a large venue/having a crowd.

the kiss shyt talking put it over the top

and yet people were watching Coachella streaming just like 2 weeks ago

big facts, as concerts become more expensive you will see more live concerts on streaming, like The Weeknd, Kendrick and Tyler have did. I can see Beyonce doing it as well.

But it seems the buyer finessed them.

This version of verzuz was a lockdown thing but they already pivoted to larger venues and stages and more of that was the next evolution. You're thinking small

A lot of those artists have declined doing a Verzuz.

Look at the brand damage Dipset did by getting beat. It serves no purpose whatsoever do a “versus” for elite artists. Even if just on name alone. Why make it a competition? As the saying goes, ‘Comparison is the thief of joy’

Ie Why would Usher and CB do a “versus” rather than….just do a joint tour. Draw the same interest, make the same amount of money, but remove the possibility of ‘losing’ and damaging your brand

It was a heist by Swizz and Timbo

Only if you GET the money

“We hope it is nothing more than a misunderstanding driven by lawyers,” the company said. “We do not wish to air our dirty laundry in the press, but we have paid Swizz and Tim millions in cash and in stock.”


They have ownership and cash

Dipset believed their own hype.. that’s on them. It also doesn’t help that people aren’t trying to see dipset being dipset in the 2020’s. Hiphop be throwing rappers away and it’s hilarious. Meanwhile Teddy Riley, Babyface, EWF, the Isley’s, etc did their thing and people were happy.

This. Post pandemic too it lost its spot. The best part to me was the real time i.g. engagement. Once everyone was back outside that faded
