Versuz: The Lox Vs Dipset 8/3 9:30PM ET

[NYC Rebel]

I watched the entire thing last night, LOX really did smoke em. From stage presence, to rapping and understanding them, to their DJ being better. And let’s be honest too, the performance Jadakiss put on single handedly out shined everyone on that stage. They also looked healthier than the Dips.


I feel Dipset got into their hits bag way too late. Zeeky and Juelz were up there looking drunk. Jim and Cam did ok, they just never really seemed in sync with each other.

also at 1 point, way too many nikkas on the stage. I thought it was going to colapse or a fight break out.

glad to see their all touring though, that’ll be dope. Great night for hip hop at the end of the night.

can someone put together a list of Jadakiss hits from his Album n mixtapes?

At zero point in Jim's MCing life will he ever have mic spit on par with the Lox....not even Sheek.

Lox came out before Cam in 94...Cam wasnt doin shyt in 94

Respect to Cam, but that's jokes as fukk! Lol The way you wrote it.

Didn’t someone say on stage last night “this was before Jim knew how to rap”

Nah. You’re getting it confused. Technician the DJ (the LOX DJ) was fire. nikka was killing the crowd with the classics. Dropping them on the one and going in and out of the songs expertly. Cutting and scratching were A1. Hit Em Up didn’t go over bad at all because he just played a few bars and bounced into a BIG joint. Tech is a beast and is not new to this. One of the best.

The music went left when the Dipset DJ took over. (I have no idea who he was) started playing random out of town joints. That nicca was terrible. He was so bad that Technician had to come back on and try to get the crowd back.

This highlights an underrated factor in this battle. The importance of the DJ. Lox old school approach vs Dipset rhyming over tracks and using and incompetent DJ that couldn’t even scratch properly. Back in the day, the DJ was just as important to rocking the crowd. You can tell the LOX and Technician have those routines down cold. Plus he knew what joints to play for them at the proper time. He was doing a lot of the rebuttaling himself and the LOX jump into action off the muscle memory.

Professionalism at its finest.

Great post. DJ isnt getting enough love for the role he played in that master class.

How many times did he play the perfect track while Jada-Juelz were going back and forth?

Here's my thing. The Lox came out when Wu members were dropping solo albums. The Lox came out when Mobb Deep was in its heyday. When you had a crew, your entire team had to have BARS!!

That was LONG GONE by the time Dip Set were "what's hot." New York rap lost its standards by then. I mean.....look at their team? Cam is the only one who can spit out of the whole crew. New York rap was ass by then, at least to this New Yorker and a lot of real gritty street dudes I used to rock with.

Who New York gave love to yesterday reminded everyone of that difference.

Nobody shortchanged Cam (or Juelz for that matter) on their bars. When they had JR Writer spittin non stop for 10-15 minutes on Hot 97, NY gravitated to that. When Hell Rell was spittin freestyles over the phone from jail, we gravitated to that.


NY rap in 2002 was not ass AT ALL.

Dipset shoulda opened up with “Whats Really Good”. They didn’t play We Are The Champions, We Built This City, Horse and Carriage, Losing Weight, etc etc. Cam shoulda been more present to hold Dip Set down. Juelz should’ve been more prepared. Jim as well. And they shoulda had Kay Slay as their DJ(great DJ that understands u is the KEY to this shyt as well). They would’ve still lost but it would’ve been gracefully. They looked like soft amateurs next to hardcore professionals last night. They made their hardest records sound trash.

 

[boskey]

They need to do like an All Star Verzuz and put LOX on stage with Red and Meth. Just let them both rock...

 

[Billy Ocean]

I be telling nikkas all the time, in the HOODS of NYC, nikkas treat Kiss like Hov. The hood don't be judging albums and shyt like that "Oh, such and such has 2 classics, he only got 1. Nah that album is only 4 mics" shyt.

Arguably the realest shyt said in this thread.

 

[TheDarceKnight]

How is this dude Jada not tired ? No slurring of the words, can't even hear him stumble at all, just immaculate voice control.​

Dips stayed trolling them on social media and Jada was in the gym training for this shyt

LOX were spitting freestyles and mixtape songs that people barely knew. But the energy made it sound harder than every well known Dipset classic. shyt was ridiculous...

This is why Jay would be the biggest problem in this format. nikka got ALL bases covered.
