I really stayed up to damn near after six in the AM while on vacation watching this on some janky Italian internet.
despite Dipset's poor performance, the energy from the show had me wanting to stay up. I've had like three and a half hours of sleep.
so let me ramble.
The LOX, Jada specifically put on a clinic for a second time in this Verzuz.
it showed why in New York, Jada is second to Jay-Z in the way he's beloved.. he might not have the albums but everybody loves Kiss.
there was a point very early on were as soon as Cam finally came on the stage it felt like the show was about to revolve around him.
yet, he sat his ass down on a chair thinking he was above it and thats when Jada took control.
this summed Dipset up actually, too cool to prepare. more concerned with showing off the new pieces.
its the story of their career..legends and a great run but if they had actually planned shyt and never fell out, the run would have went longer.
Jim got too high/drunk, Juelz is an annoying crackhead who's hard to watch at times and he made it more aggy than needed to be.
you could see Cam get annoyed with them and go into business for himself... thats whenever he could be bothered.
he put up 40 in a loss.
I still can't believe the songs Dipset left on the table.
The LOX did something you only see in movies were the underdog takes the crowd from 50/50 to everybody is cheering for them.
to the point the crowd even turned on Cam.
Cam tried to go into I'm the real star here, I'll have the last word shyt at the end but it was too late and the crowd weren't jacking it.
he had lost and it was home time. hit him with the
Dipset could have won in a set 30 playlist battle...but with the crowd and the battle ready approach it was Living off Experience all day.
showman ship, chemistry and the most ready song selection won over typical Harlem shyt.
if this was G-Unit against either two..they way they were talking to each other this was probably escalating into violence
now back to my vacation.
