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

[Eye Cue DA COLI GAWD]

Yesterday exposed a culture rap group versus an artistic rap group

Not an insult, it is what is it. One group is the tsunami that created the wave (Lox) while the other was the surfer group riding it (Dipset)

People thought one was more impressive till they were reminded real power is not always seen and in your face.

Gully going off around the 9min mark

I now think Jay-Z would kill Drake in a Verzuz

 

[Threnody]

premmo said that was his hardest job ever as a producer. Malachi the Nutcracker is still the worst MC ive ever heard.

I don't know if I ever thought I heard X with much of a southern influence to his sound, but I agree with everything else for sure.

I digress...it wasn't southern influence.

There's a bar Devin the Dude rapped back in like '93. It goes something like: /he got eastcoast swagger, Westcoast dress code, and southern dialect/. Or something like that, think it's on the first Facemob album.

Basically talking about what you started seeing in the mid 90s. Where you couldn't tell where someone was from by just looking at them.

X was NYC but he had a huge side that wasn't NYC, or rather traditional NYC. His flow and vocab was a weird mixture. When I was in NYC..."dog" was not a common adverb.

Star just said "Lets bow our heads and give a moment of silence to some Dusty Harlem ni**as"

Wow. He said he's 57 years old...

Star looks great for 57

But that’s my whole point though, if the battle is on some real hip hop shyt, Aaliyah songs and R&B records you wrote for other artists are going to be irrelevant.

If you are arguing she is a better “artist” than that is a different discussion that I have no interest in.

aaliyah ain't hip hop?
mary j blige, ginuwine, jodeci, swv and keisha cole aint hip hop?
are we gonna act like missy doesn't have hip hop records with luda, hov, lil kim, da brat, mary, keisha, timbo, eminem, redman, busta rhymes, 50 cent, method man and others?

you're limiting the conversation to street shyt. missy doing a street records verzuz with jadakiss makes no sense.

That group is garbo. They always received love, but lyrically they are garbo.

When MOP first came out, they were lyrically garbo. They great now, but that first album was not NYC standard as far as bars. I've never heard anyone say what I just said.

 

[TheDarceKnight]

the problem is jada is a slightly better lyricist than cam. .

My God that's a hell of an understatement

 

[Jefferson Jackson]

so many classic moments....

Kiss:we got grammy's nikka, these nikkas got grams

*moments after snatching Juelz bandana*

Kiss:I think Juelz bumped his head

I knew I was right with the vote I placed in the polldipset got smoked

 

[Menna]

They both came out around 95.

Lox just had the bigger push with Bad Boy while Cam was in Children of the Corn.

Jada came out in 94 and in 95 Cam was with an underground group where he had a few versus that barely got play...ITs dif

There needs to be a limit on features

Lox used too many records from other ppl: BIG, Puff, X (at least 3), J-lo, Akon, Jay, Mariah, Nore, Rule

That really ain't fair when Dipset used all of their own music

Two songs with Ma$e too...Cam said it you guys side dishes
