Not mad at the Busta/Missy idea

If it something for the old school, they should probably lead in with that because selling it as 20 years in the making with the current generation of music fans means nothing

Y’all are in a bubble. That’s not a good versus, I don’t even think them nikkas want to or even know about this shyt. It’s a terrible idea. That doesn’t have nothing to do with how I feel about them as artist

but this versus shyt is not for them type of artist cause that’s a much older audience that would even care and most older fans of them aren’t on IG like that. I’m just speaking business and reality.

If RZA vs Premier got huge viewership Kane vs Rakim would. People from that era have internet access.

20+ years means 90's, and there aren't many rappers bigger than Snoop and DMX from the 90's... unless Swizz is exaggerating

based on that I'd guess Nas and Jay, but can't see either of them doing it

Busta beats missy pretty easy though. She is "like" a female busta sometimes.. but never better than the actual Busta and putting them side by side would do her a disservice imo. He was popping since early 90s too. Missy was late 90s.

Busta should have battled snoop. I don't know who else could really match that energy though and has the longevity. I think Busta vs Lil Wayne might be it. That could be crazy. Method man and Redman as a duo or Ti might work also.

Other good battles would be

LL cool J vs Ice Cube
Mary J Vs Mariah


Busta vs Eminem should happen

Missy is the female version of Busta. I been asking for this one since Versuz started but Busta said they styles are too similar and no chick in the game is messing with Missy and Missy said she don’t want no smoke wit Busta. It ain’t gonna happen.
Hopefully people realize not only is it the matchups that make verzuz but the chemistry/charisma the artist themselves have . Once they went away from the production /song writing angle the Snoop & X battle proved that .

I can't see Jay-Z agreeing to it, but it would be cool to see Nas/Jay.

Brandy/Monica seems the most realistic from what was mentioned. Especially good promotion for Brandy's new album.
