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

[Won Won]

I'm just telling yall....last night...what yall saw was Tunnel energy.

The Lox were born in the Tunnel. Everything about the vibe they gave me last night was 100% the Tunnel, the greatest Hip Hop club ever.

That shyt was pure Tunnel energy. I felt like I was home again....

This also works in reverse because it's not like Jada could respond with a song like that to counter "Work It", which largely depends on the audience and mood. And Missy does in fact have hard songs. She could drop "Is That Your Chick", which features her. There's the "Hot Boyz" remix with Nas, Eve, and Q Tip. There's "U Can't Resist" with B.G. and Juve. What Missy doesn't have are grimey, I'll murder you type songs, which go beyond just being hard.

I completely agree that if the audience was composed of Missy fans, or fans of more light hearted club shyt, she would be formidable. I just can’t think of an example from a Verzus where a light hearted club record bested hard shyt with bars.

Does she rhyme on Is That Your Chick and the Hot Boyz remix? I would think singing would be an automatic L. But again, it depends on the audience.

The other record doesn’t ring a bell.

I really want to know when can got booed. I didnt peep it.

the problem is jada is a slightly better lyricist than cam. And style is right there. Dipset cant compete with that.

plus they just had a bad performance.

Slightly?

 

[TheDarceKnight]

Man....I'm skimming through this again.

It's insanely impressive that Juelz said they had no girlie joints, and the DJ immediately was able to play 6 instrumentals in a row, and Jada, SP, and Sheek were able to rhyme on all of them without missing a beat.

 

[The War Report]

At the end of the day, the hood has always and will always fukk with The Lox. Like the shyt Ghost be spitting, nikkas be feeling that shyt in their bones. shyt is visceral. G unit and Dip Set never had it like that. I ain’t even street and I feel like going upside someone’s head when I hear The Lox.

On the same token, the audience would have to be composed of Jada fans or fans of grimey Hip Hop for him to be formidable against Missy.

Breh, they gave DMX the round where he played "Come Back In One Piece" against Snoop's "Ain't No Fun".

The hook to "Is That Your Chick" is her rhyming. She rhymes on "Hot Boyz" remix on the video version of the remix.

The other song is this:

 

[SAINT]

Im disappointed too, but they werent going to win no matter what

Jada is just on a whole another level

They put no care or thought into it breh. Juelz could’ve atleast dropped his verse on run it as some kind of last resort when lox dropped the ladies joints, but nikka ain’t even do that

 

[Cool Dr. Money]

And another thing as far as the tour goes the line up should be

The Dips
State Property
The Lox

 

[Wild self]

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.

The difference between 93-98 compared to 2003-06 was like a totally different genre. Back in the 90s, like you said, if you couldn't spit high quality bars and had a whole album of high quality songs ready to be produced, you never stepped into a studio. LOX was in that era when Wu Tang amd Mobb Deep and Onyx and MOP dropping crazy heat.

NYC post 2002 was damn near a playground, music wise.

NY Hip Hop already fell of when G-Unit was on top. It wasn't street niqqas and what we were listening to that dictated what was getting spun any longer. The Lox represent the last of the era of what NY niqqas on the block wanted to listen to that got heavy play as a result of it. This is around the time when wack ass Ebro and company helped destroy NY hip hop.

No. Ur fukking WRONG bruh. U fit the mold of the nikka that was too old. U talkin bout some Ebro shyt. fukk is u talkin bout fam nikkas fukked wit the Diplomat Vol mixtapes and they was all hosted by Kay Slay. It wasn’t even mainly the radio that dictated how hot they was. U fukkin cappin bro like I said, u bias cause u was prolly too old and didn’t really fukk wit they vibe like that but to blame the radio on why people loved Dips is off brand as fukk. Being that they got hot off mixtapes and most of their joints on Diplomatic Immunity was already on mixtapes. They was heavy on the Smack DVD’s amongst other DVDs as well. U are WRONG bro. I was OUTSIDE. And one of my nikkas sonned Juelz right infront of me. But that still ain’t what we talkin bout here.

Nycrebel is correct.

Gunit and dipset are in that era NYC music became "acceptable" to other regions. Especially gunit. Lowkey...50 cent blew easier because.....yall going trip, and it also went for DMX....but they sneak had SOUTHERN sound.

The second I quoted even has a clue: blood nikkas. By the time that element was in NY...NY was over.

No more heavy on the NY accent. Made Cam say "when da fukk we start bouncin".

He ain’t drop his OWN song with Chris Brown. Back To The Crib.

 

[Easy-E]

Jada didn't even play Best of Me and the Mariah joint from Kiss of Death

Ronnie on Star Show mentioned that
